Washington, Dec. 21.—For nearly three hours Senator Foraker, of Ohio, addressed the senate yesterday on the subject of the president’s dismissal of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored) In connection with the Brownsville, Texas, affray. With characteristic vigor and bold n»ss, the Ohio senator analyzed the at tltude-of the president In ar^ effort to convince the senate the president mis conceived both his constitutional pow ers with respect to the action he has taken concerning the negro battalion and the testimony upon which his ac tion was based. Attacks Exscutive Action. Although he was twice Interrupted by Scnutors Lodge and Knox, he dealt with the entire range of the subject and cieated a decided Impression upon the senators. The speech of Mr. Fora ker, although he endeavored to be con servative, was a severe attack upon executive action. ^ Senator Foraker. after reading ex tracts from the material sent to the senate by the president, added: “Senators will study In vain to find a precedent connected with the United States Army. The nearest approach to, It is a precedent given of action by General Lee in discharging a regiment of Confederate soldiers. What General Lee's evidence may have been I do not undertake to say; but there Is'no prec edent In either the volunteer or regular service for what the president has done here. Certainly none so far ns A*e have been advised. Therefore, I say again, somebody Imposed upon him. When the president undertakes to say that there are plenty of precedents for v/hat he has done, I say there are no precedents.** “There it no Precedent.” Mr. Foraker said that whatever prec edents there may have been In the case of General Grant or General Lee com manding In the field during the time of war. would not apply to time of peace. **What may have been done during the civil war,’’ Mr. Foraker continued, "would not only not apply because it wai done during time of war, but be cause It was done before the articles of war in the form In which I have read them were pluced In t^e statutes of the United States. Since these articles were framed and promulgated ns they are today no man can be convicted of an offense without first having a chance before a court-martial to make his de fense, face his accusers and cross-ex amine the witnesses who seek to dis grace him before the world.’’ Resolution'Is Postponsd. When Senator Foraker concluded his remarks he received consent to modify the resolution ho that it now directs the senate committee on military affairs *o Investigate the circumstances leading up to the discharge of the negro troops. Mr. Lodge replied briefly to Mr. Fora- ker> speech. The resolution of Mr. Foraker goes over without action until after the holi day recess. • 1 Special A $5.00 Phonograph Cut to $2.98 The Phonograph we offer the trade at this marvel ously low price is not a toy, but a high grade, real ' Phonograph.

TOM HUDSON DTD HTS BEST TO PLEASE What time Colonel Tom Hudaon la not busy showing Georgia farmers the way to become plutocrats he is per forming some kind of good office for friend or constituent. For Colonel Hudson does not know how to say no to any kind of a re quest. Yes, he‘s a politician all right, but he’s much more than that—he’s a man with the milk of human kindness fairly overflowing his whole system. Now and then tide obliging spirit anil kindly disposition to do all kinds of odd behests leads him into complicated situations. Occasionally he finds. In gratitude. But nothing sours him. He goes ahead willingly to aid the next unfortunate with a new seal. Which leads up to a trouble that over took him not so many months ago. A friend and neighbor down In south Georgia was very much Interested in getting a pardon for a good old negro, who had got himself Into trouble by a small offense—his flrst one. "Tom,” said the neighbor, "I want you to get Aristophanes out of the pen. You know old Aristophanes that worked for me so long?” Colonel Hudeon said he knew him. That is the way of him. He wouldn't openly confese that there’s a man, woman or child, white or black. In Georgia that he doesn’t know person ally. Least of all any one In his neck o' the woods. Unfortunately he did not recall old Aristophanes, but he argued that the name was unuscl and easy to locate. The sequel Is sad. So Colonel Hudaon came up to Atlan ta and made an eloquent plea for the pardoning of Aristophanes. The prison commission gave him respectful hear ing until he concluded. Then one of the commissioners Inquired: “Colonel Hudson, will you be kind enough to give us the other section of Aristophanes'.name? There are three In the Georgia penitentiary bearing that euphonious name.” Colonel Hudson looked blankly at his Interrogator. Finally he said he didn't know' the other pnrt of Arts- and get the right one by finding ths locality he came from. Aristophanes was pardoned and Col onel Hudson went away glowing with the thought of a good deed performed. A few weeks later he was In the south Georgia town nnd met the neighbor for whom he hail performed the errand. “Well,” said Colonel Hudson, genial ly. "guess old Aristophanes Is back at work for you now?" “Like biases he Is. You got the wrong Aristophanes pardoned!” EXPLOSIVES FOUND IN ITALIAN’S ROOMS; INVESTIGATION ON PEACHTREE HO.'rE.
