Millionaire on De Luxe Whale Trip John Borden Tires of Big Game j and Goes After Monsters of the Sea. MTEFREETO MADE A LAW Fight of Years by Hearst News papers for Popular Election to Upper House Is Successful When Bryan Signs Resolution. Ceaseless Publicity as to How Legislative Choice Led to Inter ests Controlling Body Broke Down Opposition of Old Guard. 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.

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 Daughters of Zion To Hold Festival GINEER KILLED WHEN 'JOE BROWN’ IS WRECKED ACON, May 31.—In a collision veen a switch engine and the “Joe wn,” a Southern Railway local senger train, operating between lehurst and Macon, to-day, En- er J.

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 if “O
