Dilatory Tactics Tried as Forlorn
Hope, but the Sentiment of Na
tion Forces Adoption of Meas
ure, Which Now Becomes Law.
WASHINGTON, May 31.—The
ong, persistent and arduous tight
,'hich the Hearst newspapers have
lade to obtain the election of United
itates Senators by the people was
nished and illustrated by the for-
lAlity a' the State Department to-
ay at which Secretary of State Bry-
n signed and published the joint
esolution which provides for the
eventeenth amendment to the Con-
titution. The amendment was from
he beginning popular in the House,
•here it was originally passed with-
ut a dissenting vote.
The real hard light was in the Sen
te, and there the Hearst newspapers
lok it up and fought it to a finish,
'he history of the struggle shows
lat the Senate persisted for years in
ot reporting out the resolution by
he House and prevented a vote,
ivery time the matter was brought
p at the instance of its friends in
le Senate the radical majority <n
ower talked it to death.
Publicity Turns Sentiment.
The turning point in the sentiment
f the Senate was the frequent dis-
!rc res by the Hearst publications
f the character of Senators elected
v the existing method and of the
ifluency to which they owed their
Icvation to the Senate.
The Senate was obviously the body
i which the real advocates of pop
lar elections, to be successful, should
ave directed their energies. The
truggle was kept up. at times a
lost forlorn hope, until Senator Bo-
ih took hold of the matter and in-
-oduoed the final amendment which
ad passed the House while Rep-
esentative W. F. Rucker, of Mis-
ouri, was chairman of the commit-
ee having the joint resolution in
harge in that body.
Dilatory Tactics Fail.
The fight of the Hearst newspapers
n the battlefield where the matter
-as to he decided was always ob
truded either by flat refusals to
onsider the matter or by dilatory
repositions, as for instance that the
umber of Senators from each State
hould be proportioned to its popula-
on.
The old guard was always strong
nough in the Senate to prevent the
ischarge of the Judiciary Committee
, charge of the hill and have a fair
ght on the merits made on the floor
f the Senate. Efforts to this end
-ere made by Senators Blackburn
f Kentucky and Perry of Arkansas,
ut they were beaten by Senator De-
ew and the oid line of Senators,
he agitation at this time had been
jrced to the front by the Hearst
ewspapers. There is no question
lat the creation of the sentiment
lat made possible the signing of the
lint resolution by Mr. Bryan to-day
as in the largest measure due to
ie persistent sffort* of the Hearst
ewspapers in the direction and in
le place where success could only
ave been achieved.

Secretary Bryan and Ambassador
Spring-Rice Sign General
Arbitration Pact.
WASHINGTON, May 31.—Secretary
of State Bryan and the British Am
bassador, Cecil Spring-Rice, signed a
renewal to-day, at the State Depart
ment, of the general arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain. This is the treaty, the in
tention of which was, and it was so
originally written, that “all questions”
between Great Britain and the Unit
ed States could be made subjects of
arbitration.
Various Senators, however, who
looked a long way ahead and who
perhaps had been advised by stories
from time to time appearing in the
English papers that Great Britain
was to fight the Panama Canal act,
amended the treaty by making it spe
cific and eliminating as arbitrable
questions at issue involving the na
tional honor.
Preserves Independent Action.
The treaty, thus amended radically
by the Senate so as to preserve the in
dependent action of the Senate as
against the State Department, never
theless was accepted gratefully by
Great Britain. The amendments by
the Senate were made with direct in
timation to the State Department that
no great issue affecting the country
with a foreign nation could he jam
med through overnight. The Senate,
in other words, proved to the State
Department that the principal figure
in arbitration, in whatever cause, was
in the last analysis the Senate itself.
Senate’s Consent Necessary.
The State Department, therefore,
can not undertake and carry to a
conclusion, without the consent of the

GOVERNOR SlILZER’S TRIBUTE TO MR. HEARST
That monument at the entrance of one of the grandest parks in the world
will for years embellish our great city of New York. For decades it will teach
the country the patriotic duty of American citizens. It will be a lesson to the
people of our land that no man who dies in the service of his country ever dies
in vain. All honor to the men whose foresight and whose patriotism have made
that monument possible. All honor to William Randolph Hearst, to the mem
bers of the committee, to the patriotic citizens who contributed to rear that
monument.—GOVERNOR SULZER of New York.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Thousands and thousands of visitors to-day visited the monument
unveiled yesterday in honor of the memory of the men who lost their lives aboard the battleship
Maine in Havana Harbor. They were persons who had been unable to attend the impressive un
veiling celebration that brought together representatives of the leaders in thought and patriot
ism and representatives of the naval strength of two nations.
But their patriotism was no less sincere. They stood in respectful silence admiring the shaft
and turned to give way to others, who likewise wished to pay their devoir at the shrine of men
who had died for human liberty.
Notable men in every walk of life united to give credit to William Randolph Hearst and to
his papers for the beautiful Maine memorial.
When Fast Commander-in-Chief Maurice Simmons, of the United Spanish War Veterans,
had finished his speech he turned to the distinguished gathering in the stand and said:
“To no one man is greater credit due for this splendid memorial than to William Randolph
Hearst. I think it is only fitting that he should address this assemblage.”
There were immediate cries for “Hearst!” “Hearst!” from all parts of the sea of spectators
and someone proposed three cheers, which were given as Mr. Hearst stepped to the front of
the stand and began to speak. His address follows:
“My friends, many of the speakers in the goodness of their hearts have given more
credit to the committee, of which l am a minor member, than we think we deserve. The
committee has done its best, but it lias not played a predominant part in the erection of this
monument. The monument was designed by the architect, Mr. M. VanBuren Magoniple,
and the sculptor, Mr. At-
tillo Piccirilli; it was passed
upon by the art commis
sion; the city of New York
gave it this magnificent site,
and the people of the Unit
ed States of America erect
ed it by popular subscrip
tion.
Erected by Whole People,
To my mind, the important and
significant fact in connection with
this memorial is that it was erect
ed by the whole people, for I
think that in the defense and de
velopment of our country the one
thing next in importance to hero
ism and devotion ip appreciation
of heroism and devotion by all
the people.
We can not all be heroes, but
we can all be grateful for hero
ism. We are not all privileged
to lay down our lives in the
service of our country, but we can
all love and honor and remem
ber the men w ho have made such
splendid sacrifices.
And in remembering heroes
dead, let us not forget heroes liv
ing. There are as many men in
the army and navy to-day ready
to sacrifice their lives for their
country as ever there have been
in the whole history of the na
tion.
Duty to Care for Heroes.
It is our duty as citizens to
see that such sacrifices shall not
be needless and fruitless. It is our
duty as citizens to supply suffi
cient ships and guns in order
that these heroes may have the
means and munitions for our de
fense. and in order that their
devotion may not be either unap
preciated or unavailing.
When we have done this, our
duty as citizens, we will deserve
to stand with the citizens to
whom Abraham Lincoln referred
when he wrote:
“All honor to the sailor and
soldier everywhere who bravely
bears his country’s cause. All
honor, also, to the citizen who
cares for his brother in the field
and serves., as best he can, the
selfsame cause. Honor to him
only less than to him who braves
for the common good, the Storms
of Heaven and the storms of bat
tle!”
Applause Greets Sigsbee.
There was much applause when
Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbee rose.
As the veteran naval officer, who
commanded the ill-fated Maine, stood
at the speaker’s rostrum, his shoul
ders squared, the crowd pressed for
ward. He was frequently interrupt
ed with applause. Briefly he sketch
ed the story of the Maine tragedy
and th*» investigation that followed.
The resting place of the Maine, he
said, had been surveyed by him H&en
