"There never han been any disposition
on the part of the people of Louisiana
to deprive the negro of any of his polit
ical or civil rights. There has been and
will continue to be determination, fixed
and unalterable, to deny him a<x-ial
privileges on equality with the whites,
to prohibit him from aspiring to an
equality in social life which nature for
bids.”
Mr. McEncrv said the suffrage article
in the Louisiana constitution was ap
proved by all citlxens of the state.
“From the day that the negro was en
franchised.” said Mr. McEnery. "and
negro domination prevailed In the state,
until 1X76. when It was overthrown, there
was an era of corruption, vice and tyr
anny not equaled In any age.”
Result of White Supremacy.
- He revlwed this situation and then
| spoke of the beneficial results of white
1 supremacy. He said the regulation of the
I suffrage in Louisiana did not affect the
negro alone, but a large number of per
| sons who had emigrated to New Orleans
since tho civil war.
It was a dangerous power, unreason
> Ing and without intelligence, and had to
Im controlled. Ho declared that the be
stowal of political power upon the Im
personal mass could not be Justified. 1 he
' exclusion of that mass was not a viola
j lion of any representative law. The pro
posed North Carolina amendment did pot
exclude the negro from voting.
"He has the right in common with the
wliito people,” said he. "on the conditions
alike applicable to both races, that he
•an read and write, or that he owns a
certain amount of real and personal prop
erty. He Is deprived of no right of suf
rrage by tl.ff conferring of it upon another
class.”
lie maintained that the right to vote
could be conferred only bv a state, and
there was no restriction upon the state
us to persons it might admit to electo
rate. lie then said;
"There Is nothing in the text of the
suffrage clause quoted to show th.it th -re
is any d> inai «>r abridgement of tin- right
to vote on account ot rage, color or pre
vious condition. The slate being -the sole
judge of the quaiiiicai'.ons ot electors,
can discriminate among the illiterate as
to electoral capacity.

Impossible under negro domination. Re
store to the negro indiscriminately the
ballot ami invest him wdh pow<r and
there will not only be t ch«-k to the
progress of the south, but tjie advantage
gained will be lost.
“There can be no admixture of the
races. This Is a law of nature. Th- y
must w->rk out their destinies on parallel
lin.-s which cannot come together. The
Anglo-Sax<ffl blood and brain will always
be the sup rior and cannot le- subordi

msking the uegroes' condition letter
every day. We do not d. ny his poittU al

ulate the suffrage because he is ignorant,
and at present the majority of the negro
race lias no electoral . apaeity. Tho qu »-
tion ra!s<d is a judicial one. Congress has
th.- power, but it has not tii- riffht. to
declare any law or constitutional pro
vision of a state unconstitutional.”
Butler Favors Resolution.
Mr. lain r of Norin Carolina, inquired
of Mr. McEnery when tho amendment j
to the latulsinna constitution similar to !
that now is-ndiiig in North Carolina was i
under ,-onsi'lerat i<«n did he no’ pronounce
It unconstitutional Mr. McEnery r-plfi-d
that he had pronounced it unconstltu- 1
tional. but Inasmuch as it was adopted :
he had said that he would support it in |
the senate. H«» felt It bls duty to his ;
constituents to do so and he would also i
be found supporting the laws and con
stitution of both his state ami hl, conn- 1
try. Referring to the Filipino insurrec
tion in this connection, he said:
"I do not stop to inquire now whether !
my country in the I'hilipptms is right or |
not: I do not inquire wno fired the first
shot which precipitated hostilities. It is 1
enough form«- to know that my govern- I
meirt li.is been assailed, and 1 will up- ]
hold its hands until its enemies are .
brought into subjection.”
Mr. Butler th n read letters nnd paper,
written by Mr. McEnery calling the J»u-
Isiana amendment "grossly unconstitu
tional.” and that It was so regarded by
tho aalcst constitutional lawyers in the
stat?.
Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, called
up a bill to revive and amend an act
to provide for the collet tion of abandon
ed property and the prtv- ir'.ion of frauds

Mr. Davis explained that the claims were
not only just, bul it was the bounden
duty of congress to provide for their

Mr. Hale: "Why. that will amount tu

MAJORITY IS AGAINST QUAY.
Two Reports Are Submitted by the
Senate Committee.
Washington. January 23.—The reports of
the committee on privileges and elections
in tho case of Senator Quay, who claims
a seat in the senate on the strength of the
appointment from the governor of I‘eim
eytvania, were presented today. The ma
jority r.-purt opposing seating him was
signed by Senators Caffery, Pettus, Tur
i, y. Harris and Burrows, the last named
the only republican signing it. The minor
ity report bears the signatures of Sena
tors Hoar, Chandler, Fritchard and Mc-
Comas, all republicans, and advocates giv
ing the seat lo Mr. Quay.
Tho majority report says the senate
has never recognised the right of a state
executive to make a t< mpoiary appoint
ment where the vacancy oceurn-d during
a legislative session and that the para
mount intent to ha vo the legislature
choose th, senators is to prevail. The < on
h..mi. .si tremens never intended to give
the executive of a stale the power to till
an entire term by original appointniint
unle.-M. possibly, in a caso where tlm
legislature had chosen and the person
elected had mused lo accept or died be
fore quaiiticatiun.
The minority report says the governor's
failure to call the legislature together to
elect a senator does not act to deprive the
governor ot the power ot appointment.

PRO-BOER FEELING

Politicians Are Full of Anx
iety Over South African
- War Situation
FOREIGN POLICY TANGLED
In Return for the Alleged Sympathy
Given United States by English
the Government Officials
Are Inclined To Turn
the Boers Down.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, January M.—(Special.)—Ths
politicians of the admlnistration make
very little attempt to conceal tho anx
lexty th 1 v feel a'bout tho part the Boer
war is likely to play In the coming na
tional eamp: ign. They gee that the senti
ment of tiie country is ov rwhelmlngly
In favor of the Boers and they realize
that In the minds of ithe people at least,
the administration 1s lined up with the
Britisli.
The understai ding which Lord Paunce
fote was shrewd enough lo effect with
th', administration last year at the
titpe when we were Involv'd with war
Spain and when there was some id'a
that we might need irlends among the
great powers. Is rising up now like Ban
quo's ghost to give them trouble. That
understanding has. of course, always been
llenied because it was policy to deny It,
but of Its existence th ro can be no doubt.
England simply fiimtlammeil tho admin
istration people into the bell' f that we
wire getting something valuable in the
promise of her moral support in our war
with Spain, while in reality we got noth
ing. One of the tilings we gave in re
turn for this gold brick was the promise
that we would stand by England, so far
ag the administration could make us, in
sppport of her policy in South Africa.
At that 'time the attention of the world
was directed to the Fashoda incident
which se. med likely to Involve England
and France, and. of course. It meant
nothing to us to promise our friendship
to England in that respect. The same
thing was true with regard to <>ur prom
ising our moral support to the English
In thejr relations In the Soudan. Judge
Day. who was at the head of the state
department at that time, could look no
<!•. IST l!»to the African situation than
this. Th" British, howev. r. had their
cvi s on the coveted gold mine, in the
Transvaal and even then the plans were
forming to precipitate this war with the
Tied Up to England.
With the policy of Hrs government one
of avowedly strict neutrality, the repub
lican administration Is undoubtedly tied
up as cicely as It well could be to Eng
land. For this reason President McKin
ley and his political advisers are becom
ing alarmed at th many evidences that
the s« ntiment of this country Is undoubt
edly in favor of the sturdy Dutchmen
who tire lighting to save their country.
Th v •• e the possibility of losing what
In th campaign of was one of the
strongest fa< tors in bringing about re
publican victory.
There is no doubt had they lost the
German votes in the close states or had
that vote been divid d in anv degree be
tween th« two parties. Mr. Bryan would,
be In the white house now Instead of Mr.
McKinley. We in the south know very
lltt'.o alsiut the power of this German
vote In states like Ohio. Indiana. Illinois,
Wisconsin. Minnesota, the Dakotas and
in N< w York. Os all the foreign vote
this German vote is the most clannish:
it is a vote jvl'.ieh cannot be bought, but
which is Influenced mainly through Ger
man newspapers and through the social
■ ' G
newspaper of anv circulation was work
ing for the election of the repui'olleun
ticket. This was due to the misrepre
sentation of the m- ailing of the demo
cratic platform on the money question.
The result was .that the democratic tick
et got absolutely none of these German
votes, and this vote alone may be said
to have turned the scale against Bryan.
The republican policy with regard to
tho Philippines start'd the tide in tho
other dir< ction to such an extent that
the administration politicians became
gr-atlv alarmed. They have been work
ing quietly an<l persistently to create
the impression with these people that the
keeping of th- Philippines as h perma
nent poss, ssion would mean vast cum
mer, ial advantage without any resultant
permanent increase in the standing army,
but their success Is problematical.

most influential of tho republican poli
ticians, admitted to me tile other day
that for a time Mr. Hanna and his as» -
elates had been greatly alarmed at the
tendency of the German to get away from
the party, though he believed that the
argument on tho Philippines question had
brought tiie lending papers around; but
just at the time when tilings seemed to
be a little better from their point of
view, this Boer question comes along to
complicate matters and to add to their
troubles. They see that tho overwhelm
ing sentiment, not only of the Germans,
but of the people of this countrv. Is
against the English, and they realize that
this sentiment can undoubtedly bo turned
bv the democrats into political account.
Tiie party which stands for the ultimate
inilependence of the Philippine islands,
just as it stands for the independence of
Cuba, cannot consistently stand for antl-
Boer sentiment, and tho republican partv
undoubtedly does. It Is the knowledge
of 'this and the effect I’t is having on the
people which is worrying the republican
politicians, and the administration is
scared.
Web Davis’s Mission.
There are all sorts of denials of the re
ports that Webster Davis, assistant sec
retary of the interior, is down in South
Africa on any government mission. This
may be technically true, but th# impres
sion Is gaining ground here In Washing
ton that Davis is down there as the er
son.il representative for the purpose of
discovering, if possible, some way to get
tin* administration out of the hole It
is in.
It Is claimed that Davis went there
simnly in his personal capacity and that
the administration Is embarrassed bv tho
reports to the contrary; but following
the announcement that he had been car
ried from Eoreiizo Marquez to Pretoria in
President Kruger’s private car, comes the
discovery that a couple of months before
tiie anixtant aecretary of the Interior
started on this "health” trip Into tiie war
country, he was pi ceded by his secre
tary, an enterprising western newspaper
man, who gave it out that ho had re
signed his place. Those who know the
young man thought tiie story fishy at
the time and now they are convinced
of it.
What They Think.
They believe that Mr. Davis, who Is a
personal and political friend of the pres
ident, has gone there at his suggestion
with the view of getting at the exact
facts and keeping Die r< publican man
in t. »u_4i the* rwal .wit
down there
This is but another evidence ot the anx
iety of the republicans and tile Import-,
anee with winch they regard this Boer
war from a political standpoint. In tiie
meantime, there, ac rousing Boer meet
ings all over the oumry and even tiie
conservative Mr. Huie, of Maine, shows
tile tendency to score tiie administra
tion for its t'rietidship to England.

would give to the commissioners of the

Mahan Writes a Letter.
New York, January 21.—Following Is the
now famous lett r of Captain A. T. Ma
han, the naval expert, which has caused
wide discussion in Gnat Britain. Captain
Mahan annonn vs that his sympathies arc
with England, but lags ’no public to re
st ain from public meetings at which reso
lutions of sympathy for ono side or the
other are offered:
".May 1 suggest to our citizens generally
and to the Baer sympathizers especially,
the inadvisability of public meetings on
this question. There are very many
airong us, myself certainly one, who feel
us strongly in 'avor of Great Britain us
others do of her opponent 4.
“Let us all be careful not to provoke ono
another by immoderate expressions of
opinion, to which public meetings tend.
'1 iiese ot one side provoke retaliation on
the other side—they may inako it neces
sary—for in the probl.-ms of tiie near fu
ture good understanding with Great Brit
ain is too important for us lo permit lite
impression that we are all against her
here, and we ,n iy find ourselves in the
unMcmly state of party divisions for and
against foreign stales, as in the begin
ning of this eentu between the French
unu British parlies.
••L avail myself f this opportunity to
say that in my judgment, not only is the
Cft.se of Great Bri' tin just, but to have
i'aileil to uphold it would have been to fail
in national honor.” ■
How To Use Coffee Without Its
Hurting You.
The aromatic oil and Tannic acid in
coffee is what disagrees with the stom
ach and produces nervousness. These ob
jectionable ingredients only give flavor
to the coffee a'‘d have nothing to do with
its stimulating and exhilarating effect.
Grove’s Concentrated Coffee Tablets
contain in a concentrated form all the ac
tive principles of coffee without tiie two
iblectienable ingredients which irritate
the stomach thus producing Sour Stom
ucti/Dyspepsia and Nervousness. Use
these .ablets in place of coffee and these
troubles will disappear.
Believing that when tried every coff.a
tir.d tea drinker will not only continue to
me these 'tablets, but will recommend

Washington, January Ji Ib utlnr busi

Mr. I’ettigrew. of Sc lll Dakota, offer
ed a resolution d. , l 1-.’ that the United |
Stat, s government .Vi id not recognize j
tiie right of any n.atiqj " d>< lare as con- |
traband and seize fop,: products as such i
and that tiny such s« uro would be an
act unfriendly to the nit'd States. The
resolution went ov- r u ler tiie rules.
Mr. Pettigrew Up ii til' 1 up his Sulu
'treaty resolution and nade a speech in
its support, lie said hat slavery In its
worst form existed intlie Sulu group of
Islands and the lr> ,i:y' If provided that
every slave could pu iiaso his freedom
at the regular mark: price. He said
I. - : i | ; . the
sultan and Ids official under the treaty
was $9,120. vet th- S- id h g overnment
paid them only J'l.iliX' A translation of
■tho treaty, he said, vas withheld from
the peotde until ufterthe Ohio elections.
This was merely a pit of tile policy of
concealment and ce ring adopted by ;
the administration. 1’ Spooner, of is
consin. asked Mr. Pt threw if he meant
to hold the pre-sid- at responsible for the
salvery cause in tiieSuiu treaty.
Charge Against the President.
"I do.' Mr. I'c-iti-r w replied.
"Th n.” said Mr. t- ' tier. "1 read from
the menage of tin- pn sident to congress.
The president says:
“ ‘I have confirmed s dd agreement, sub
ject to tiie action f congress, and with
the reservation wlh h 1 have directed
shall be communicated to the sultan of
Jolo, that tills agree- r nf* is not to be
deemed In any way to authorize or give
■the consent of the Ul ted States to tiie
< xist'-nce of siai tv in the Sulu arclu
pelago.’”
MT. Pett'grew' replied tnal tliei,- waa
no assurance that tiie president's state
ment would ever reach the sultan. He
declared it was simply a. case of double
dealing and nothing else.
At the coti'-lusi 'ii of tho address ot
Mr. Pettigrew Mr laidge, of Massachu
setts. said that w-iille tiie resolution was
covered by one previously adopted ther*
was no objection to its passage. It was
then adopted.
A Joint resolution diverting and setting
apart s.lo,<Mit) out of the sums heretofore
ai>i*ropriated for jetty work at * umber
land sound, in the stat -of Florida and
Georgia, for slui -it.g ami dredging at the
entrance of the sound, wae passed.
Mr. Carter, of Montana, chairman ot
the census committee, made a partial
rejiopt of the conferees on the bill con
ferring additional authority on the di
rector of the Census. The partial report
was then agreed to.
Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, moved that
the senate recede from Its di igreement
as to the collection of statis ' a of the
deaf, dumb and blind.
He insisted that the senate should ad
here to its original purpose of t ’trictlng
the limits of the census proper in order
not to let down the bare on a l sorts ot
class Information. Mr. Cockrell spoke
In favor of his motion.
Chandler nnd Tillntan. Have Tilt.
Mr. Chandler whrned the senate that
any extension of the census work would
result In so clogging It that it would bo
years before any tangible results would
be obtained.
During the debate -which followed,
the motion, Mr. Chandler and Mr. Till
man were pitted against each other,
Mr. Chandler declaring that it would be
Impossible for even the South Caro Inlan
to get the necessary Information within
the period of thirty days.
"Possibly,” responded Air. Tillman, "1
am not so nervous or so much like a
grasshopper as the senaitor from New
Hampshire.”
"A pitchfork, never touches a grass
hopper.” said Mr. Chandler in reply to
this salfy, ami -Mr. Tillman's reply was
drowned in the burst of laughter which
followed. Mr. Cockrell’s motion to re
cede was lost, aye 30; noes 32.
Mr. PettSgrew moved that the house
amendment relating to tho collection ot
statistics of mines and mining be agreed
to by the senate. The motion was de
feated, 3u to 16. The senate further in
sisted upon its disagreement, and Sen
ators Carter, Hale and McEnery were
named as conferees.

Porto Rico Delegation Appears Be

Washinj.ton. January 22. The senate
committee on Porto Rico and Pacific is

of delegates representing tho chamber
of commerce of Porto Rico today. All

lay, British vice consul at San Juan ami
an extensive sugar grower, was one of
the committee. He said he had JSOO.VOO
invested in sugar. It cost 3% cents (sil
ver) a pound to jiroduce sugar. The tar
iff duties i.n this country made the profits
of sugar production very small. The cost
of tabor had been increased by United
Stat_a occupation.
Speaking ot' tiie coffee production which
w\s S'.im-ihiug more than hi p.-r Cent of
tin products of tiie island, he said that
with free commercial intercourse lie be

the rebate of the dirty on sugar would
largely go to the laboring men. Mr. Fin
