taken since the ratification of the treaty had been unwise. The result had been that the United States had lost thousands of lives and thousands of treasure. Th Democratic party wa In favor of carrying out every obligation of the government, but n declaration of purpose on the part of the United State wouM havp prevented the struggle that has been going on for three years. No czar, no klr.g. he declared, ever hd been known to exercise such power over a people as wan conferred by this bill 0.1 the Philippine commission. MANY LISTEN TO SPOONER. Mr. Spooner next addressed the Senate. The knowing that he was to speak had attracted hundreds of auditors and the galleries were crowded. He said he was reluctrnt to peak, particularly as he rented the Idea that his speaking was to preclude others from speaking. The people of the United States, he thought, must be strangely impressed by the action of the Senate on the Philippine question. Weeks had bean spent on an emergency tariff bill for the Philippines and generally to carry out a policy of a frte government In the Philippine. It seemed to him stran?e that this bill, a measure to exalt civil government in the lslar.dn and to subordinate the military power, should be delayed for weeks by ijrehs which tended to show that the operation of our rniltary forces in the islands had be?n a disgrace and dishonor to the country. It was a s:range debate to him. On both sides it had been notably able. But," said he. "on the Democratic side there has been nothing but pessimism; notnlng but the gospel of despair, nothing but suspicion, distrust and imputation of the motives of those who differed from them." Referring to the speech of Mr. Carmack, who had said of the President that "his natural gait was running away," Mr. Bpooner said the intention of Mr. Carmack was to intimate that President Roosevelt was a man of Impuls-. "The President of the United States." he declared, "of all men whom I know if one who does not run eff from dutv or danger." lie said that President Roosevelt had left his place in the government to go to Cuba, where he offered his life in the midst of flying bullets for liberty for the liberty of the people of Cuba. The President had won the right to be regarded as the steadfast and ttrenuous friend of liberty. In answer to crltclsms of Governor Taft. Mr. Spooner declared that Judge Taft was a gentleman Incapable of doing anything rot In consonance with the action of an honorable man. Mr. Spooner said the general attitude of the minority senators was this: "We who voted against the Paris treaty are men who observe the obligations of the Constitutions; you who voted for it violated the Constitution: we who are opposed to you ptand for the Declaration of Independence; you disregard It. We are the friends of the army, you assail it; we love the flag, you dishonor it; we hate atrocities, you defend them; we want liberty In the Philippines, you want slavery there. That." said Mr. Spooner. "is a modest attitude, but altogether persuasive." Discussing some references which had fceen made to previous speeches of his, Mr. Spooner said he had announced that he was not In favor of the permanent dominion of the United States over the Philippines and he was not now. "I would not." he said, "have dominion at the cost of any man's liberty. I said that our flag In Cuba would come down In honor, as it went up In the Interest of liberty. And o it has. But that has nothing to do with this bill." STANDS BY HIS DECLARATION. Mr. Spooner said he had declared that he was not In favor of making promises to rien who had a revolver at his breast, nor to men who were training their guns upon American troops. He stood by that declaration now. Reverting to the beginning of hostilities between the Americans and Filipinos, Mr. Fpoomer described how the firing began. Mr. Hoar interrupted to say that Agulnaldo had written to General Otis expressing Vegret at the occurrence and had withdrawn his troops. "The Filipinos were not withdrawn," Interjected Mr. Spooner vehemently, "they were driven back." Applause. J Further along the Wisconsin senator referred to a Constitution prepared by Agulnaldo In imitation of the Mexican Constitution, with provisions for patents and nobility and large concessions of land which he promised to his followers. He presented a photographic copy of the document. Mr. Carmack desired to examine it. With a flourish Mr. Spooner handed the parchment to the Tennesseean, with the comment: "For you. You are decorated by Agulnaldo." Laughter. Mr. Spooner insisted that there was ro parallel to be drawn between the situation In Cuba and that in the Philippines. The fcubans had been fighting for independence lor ten years, but no such struggle had occurred in the Philippines. Agulnaldo had proclaimed, shortly after Admiral Dewey had entered Manila, that he Agulnaldol had come to Manila to prevent the former lnsurreotos from joining the Spaniards in an attack upon the American troops. He dclared that the opening of hostilities in the Philippines "was a perfectly wanton attack upon our troops, who were rightfully around Manila." He quoted the vote In the Senate by which troops had been raised to be sent to the Philippines. The Democrats, he said, knew when they voted for the sending of the troops that there was to be a war, that there would be cruelties. "Are they," he demanded, "In position to MEMORIAL DAY WEATHER.

turn upon us with vituperation and challenge? They voted for it on the basis that we had acquired sovereignty in the Phillppins from Spain that we had paid for it and that we mu.n sustain it. They cannot properly turn on us and assert that the present situation Is the result of the damnable, policy institute! by the Republican party." "I withdraw that word 'damnable,' " said he. after a moment. "It is a quotation," suggested Mr. Beveridge. "I thlnk.lt Is. but I withdraw It." said Mr. Spooner. After quoting from one of President McKinley'.! messages Mr. Spooner exclaimed: "Never in the annals of time say what you will about the brutal policy of the administration has there been carried by an army so much of amelioration, so much of upbuilding, so much of reform or kindness and tenderness as were carried by this army of ours under the instructions of William McKinley. It was a- destructive war, of course, but along with the destruction of war were the constructive forces of peace and humanity." After speaking for about two hours Mr. Spooner, who was Indisposed, suspended for the day. Some discussion ensued as to the continuation of general debate, it being finally agreed that if necessary a night session would be held Saturday to conclude it. The Senate then, at 5 o'clock, went into executive session, and soon afterward adjourned. WILL TRAVEL FAST MILES

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) town or a county in case it was tounu that local officers were not doing their duty, and he replied that it has full power. After the meeting Governor Durbin said: "If the health officers cf Spencer county or any other -county are not doing their duty they will get themselves into serious trouble. We propose that county officers shall do everything In their power to prevent the spread of smallpox, and quarantines will be ordered against any county or any town the officers of which are remiss." The Governor has not yet changed hl3 mind about using the epidemic fund, ncr has there been a formal request made of him yet by the State Board of Health that that fund be used. The report made to him at yesterday's meeting did not indicate that the use of the fund Is more necessary at the present time than It was several weeks ago. He Intimated strongly that the State would see to it first of all that county officers do their full duty, and then. If the situation be not bettered. It would be time to talk about using the funds of the State to help out counties. The Governor is of opinion that the conference to-day between the Indiana and the Kentucky boards will result in such facts and such assurances being brought to the attention of the Kentucky authorities that they cannot in Justice hold to their declaration of quarantine. Discussing the position in which county boards of health find themselves. Dr. Hurty said yesterday: "The situation is complicated on account of the fact that many county health boards are cramped for lack of funds. Only a few county councils have made appropriations, and people cannot make bricks without straw." Dr. Hurty added that the full authority of the State would be put in operation against county boards to Insure every local remedy possible. JefTersnnTille Merchants to Act. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE, Ind.. May 23.-As the time draws near for the quarantine to be established against Indiana by the Kentucky Board of Health, the indignation of the people of this city increases. It is estimated that W per cent, of the wages earned in this city and New Albany goes to Louisville, either through the merchants or the people themselves. The merchants are organizing to withdraw their trade from the Louisville market. Already many orders that were placed prior to the Issuance of the quarantine order have been countermanded. The time was never more ripe for the Indianapolis market to secure almost the entire trade of this cijy. The merchants declare they will go to New York, if necessary, for their goods before they will buy them In Louisville. Will Go to South Bend. Dr. Nelson Brayton will go to South Bend to-day to confer with Dr. Hill, the local health officer. In regard to a suspected case of smallpox. Dr. Brayton will represent Dr. Hurty, of the State Board of Health, who will go to Louisville to-day.

The great increase in diamonds In the past year or two was not a circumstance to the Jump In Babb stock when the Indianapolis third baseman connected for a three-bagger In the tenth inning- yesterday, driving in a run that tied the score and placing himself In a position to trot to the plate a moment later with the winning tally, giving Indianapolis 6 to Columbus's 5. It was a grand finale of an exciting game. Dealers in nerve renovators could have done a remarkable business at the clöse of the contest, for the game was of the sort that caused unpleasant chills to do cadenzas up and down the fans' nerve centers. Columbus started off with a quartet of tallies in the first inning. It was then a struggle for the Indianapolis players to prevent the visitors sending more men around the circuit and at the same time get into the scoring business themselves. The Hoosiers tied the score in the fifth, and the fight for the winning tally was an interesting one. Columbus made one In the first of the tenth, making It necessary for Indianapolis to secure two to win, and those two crossed the plate while the crowd cheered heartily. Both clubs were out for the victory and every inning was bitterly contested. Disastrous errors figured in the run getting, but both teams suffered alike in this respect. Beginning the contest under trjing circumstances, during which Columbus took a big lead. Jack Sutthoff was imperturbable to the last. The article of ball he pitched after the first inning, with the odds against him, was garnished with twenty-four-karat Klondike gold. In nearly every Inning after the first Columbus men reached first, but they were not allowed to make the circuit. This was largely due to fast work in the field. Heydon's remarkable catch of a foul ball from Turner's bat In the sixth being one of the prettiest plays ever seen at Washington Park and deprived Columbus of a chance to advance a man. HoFriever's wonderful throw to the plate in the ninth inning on G. Fox's fly caused Evans to return to third, instead of trying to score. NATTRESS'S ERRORS COSTLY. Pfelster twirled a good game for Columbus, and it was largely through the trio of errors charged against Nattress that the Hoosiers were permitted to chalk up a victory. Nattress showed too much strength In throwing to first, and two of his errors figured in the Hoosier scoring. When Knoll started the game by flying to O'Brien matters looked encouraging for Indianapolis. Sutthoff, however, grew liberal and passed Meaney, who pilfered second. Lally sent one to deep right center for three bases, scoring Meaney. Myers foozled one to Sutthoff, and an attempt was made to catch Lally between third and home. The ball was passed backward and forward several, times, and as Lally started back to third Babb dropped the ball, allowing the runner to reach the bag. In the meantime Myers had cantered around to second. Evans added more woe by hitting for a single, scoring Lally and Myers. Turner's out sent Evans to second, and Nattress scored him with a double to left. G. Fox ended the agony by striking out. Four runs had been made and the Hoosiers chances of winning were dark indeed. They began their uphill fight with a strong heart by making one in the last of the first. Hogrlever walked and Kuhns singled. O'Brien hit to Nattress, forcing Kuhns. Nattress made a wild throw to first and Hogrlever scored. Kihm and Babb were easily retired. Columbus was easily retired In the second and the Hoosiers mounted another step by scoring one. Fox reached second on an error by Nattress after Coulter had gone out. Fox stole third. Heydon drew a ticket, but was caught off the base. Sutthoff hit for two bases, scoring Fox. The two teams fought hard in the next two innings, and there was great joy in the last of the fifth when Indianapolis made two and tied the score. Pfelster grazed Heydon's arm and sent him to first. Sutthoff advanced him with a sacrifice. Hogrlever coaxed a pass to first, and Kuhns's single scored Heydon and sent Hogrlever to second. O'Brien hit to Evans, forcing Kuhns at second. Hogrlever went to third, and while Nattress stood as if in a dream Hogrlever stole home with the run that tied the score. HARD-FOUGHT INNINGS. There was much doing in the succeeding innings, but no scoring. Both teams had opportunities to send men around the circuit, but neither succeeded. The ninth came, and the first two Columbus men started off with singles. Nattress advanced them to third with a sacrifice. G. Fox flew out to Hogrlever and a beautiful throw caused Evans to return to third. Pflester ended the inning by going out from short to first. Heydon went out, but Sutthoff secured a hit. Hogrlever forced Sutthoff at second, but errors by Nattress and. Pflester sent Hogrlever to third. Kuhns flew out and It required another inning. Knoll started the tenth by going out from Babb to Klhm. Meaney singled and Lally placed a single in center. Woodruff, who had succeeded Coulter in the eighth, allowing the hit to get away from him. Meaney scored and Lally reached second. Myers and Evans were retired. With one run behind O'Brien went to bat in the last of the tenth and drew a pass. Kihm tried to hit it out, but flew to Knoll. It was then up to Babb, and he showed he was good for the emergency by driving one over Lally's head for three bases. Woodruff's out to center scored Babb and the game was won.

The American Association race la more interesting just now than it has been at any timo this season. Only six points separate the first three teams Columbus, Louisville and Indianapolis and the third place, which Indianapolis occupies, is nearly as good as first or second, as one game might change the entire standing. Columbus plays at home to-day, and Louisville, the second club, will be the attraction at Washington Park this morning and afternoon. This will be the first time Tebeau's aggregation and the Hoosiers have met, and much interest centers in the games. The hard-fought battle yesterday has enthused the fans, and they all want to see the games to-day. The crowd at this afternoon's contest should break all records in this city. The morning game will be called at 10 o'clock and Kellum will pitch. The afternoon contest will be called at 3:43 and Williams will do the twirling for Indianapolis. Louisville also plays here to-morrow and Monday. The Hoosiers play at Louisville on Sunday. Baselmll Notes. The Celtic Stars will play the Northern Stars to-day and the White Caps on Sunday. It was a trying game for Sutthoff, but he pitched himself out of the rut after the first inning. Heydon's throwing arm was in good sbape yesterday and he cut off several attempted steals. The gates at the morning game to-day will be opened at 9 o'clock and at 1:30 in the afternoon game. Napoleon Lajole and Pitcher William Bernhardt will play with the Cleveland club for the rest of the season. TJoKK'c cttiiVi t r ntt frit f hrpo Viai I A ' t .

Tickets for to-day's games are on sale at Huder's drug store, Schomberg's cigar store, Kriel's cigar store and all the leading hotels. Hogrlever did some clever base running yesterday. His throw to the plate in the ninth inning was also a beautiful piece of work. The errors In yesterday's game were costly, but neither team had the advantage. O'Brien, Coulter and Fox are long overdue and their friends have wired the intelligence office for news if they have been sighted. Their propellers have been out of order, but they hope to steer properly from now on. A few hits against Louisville will erase their shortcomings. SCORES OF THE GOLFERS. Good Playinir ly J. Travis, F. S. Douglas and Others. NEW YORK, May 29. The sixteen players still in the race for the metropolitan championship at the opening of to-day's play at Tuxedo Park could not have asked for better weather or better course conditions. In the early play J. Travis, the amateur champion, had little difficulty in defeating the veteran J. M. Ward, of Foxhills. F. S. Douglas, the present metropolitan chajnpion, had an Interesting match with C. I. Tappan. of Westbrook. The score stood: Dormie four In Douglas's favor, and then, thanks to a phenomenally long put by Tappan. dormie three. The next hole, which was halved, gave Douglas the match. Travis's record score of seventy-six, made yesterday, was twice equaled in the morning play by F. S. Douglas and by F. A. Marcellus. The match between Travis and R. C. Watson, jr., in the afternoon was very close, both men playing careful and at times brilliant golf. Travis was one up at the turn, but topped his next drive so that Watson won the tenth hole and made all square. Travis won the eleventh, Watson the twelfth, Travis the thirteenth and fourteenth and halved his opponent dormie. The champion won the eighteenth and the match with a total score of seventy-six. The semi-final round will be played tomorrow. Bicycle Races. WASHINGTON, May 29.

CRITICISING THE KAISEK

AGRARI ANS S A VIMS t PI.EAS A1 Til I.N (iü AHOt T HIS MAJESTY. Condemning: 111m for Presenting It Statue of Frederick the Great to the I'nlted States. BERLIN, May 23. The unpleasant things which are being said about Emperor William and the Ministry because of his Majesty's presentation of a statue of Frederick the Great to the United States arc, strange to say, all from the Agrarians, who arc normally ministerialists, but who are now embittered against the government becau.-e of differences regarding the tariff. The Agrarians, through their newspapers, attack the imperial chancellor. Count Von Buelow, for failing to dissuade Emperor William from giving the statue, which they say was a political blunder, because his action has not been appreciated In the United States. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung, a leading Agrarian organ. In a leading editorial article on the subject this evening, says: "Emperor William's counselors, have placed him in a painful position, exposing him to the attacks of the anti-German faction of Americans, which Is by no means small, and giving an opportunity for the" resolution of Mr. Stephens, of Texas, in the House of Representatives, recently (declaring that the United States should nut accept any statue of any king, emperor or prince from any foreign nation), which this paper regards as representing an important section of American sentiment. The Yankee." the paper continues, "cannot understand that anything can be given without price and from mere good will. He will infer that the Emperor feels deep admiration for the might and the power of the United States, and the gift will only swell American conceit, as will be shown in future negotiations affecting Germany's practical interests. Germany shouM not court other nations. Iet them come to us. Foreign politics is a business which must be treated as a business." These views, It should be said, are net shared by any Important group. BRITISH NAVAL CONSTRUCTION. Seventy-Five VeeU, Including Twenty Cruisers, Now In the Stocks. LONDON, May 23. During a discussion of the navy estimates in the House of Commons to-day the secretary of the admiralty, Mr. Arnold-Forstrr, repudiated the suggestion of Sir Charles Dllke, advanced Radical, that the government's shipbuilding programme was so small as to create a bad impression abroad. The secretary pointed out that during the last year thirty-live ships had been completed and that seventy-five vessels were now under construction, including twenty armored cruisers. In addition to this colossal increase of Great Britain's naval resources the Admiralty contemplated Immediately proceeding with upwards of twenty-seven J other ships. The vote for the construc tion of vessels alone during the present year would amount to over 3,000,000. Continuing. Arnold-Forster said it was purposed to continue the use of subsidized merchant cruisers subject to a provision in the general policy regarding subsidies, and subject also to the question of the status which some of these phlps might acquire by virtue of a change in their ownership consequent on changes in registry. FAMISH AM) SCURVY. Many Villages In Russia Scourged by Want nnd Disease. ST. PETERSBURG, May 23. The situation of the famine-stricken peasants continues to grow worse. In 211 villages of the Mlnzellnsk district, government of Cufa, 6.815 cases of scurvy were officially recorded, on April 14, as comiired with 2,723 cases reported on March 14. This is only a sample of existing conditions in other famine districts. Siberian merchants are loudly complaining that Manchuria and adjacent ports of Siberia are flooded with American. German, Japanese and other foreign goods, and that Russian trade is disappearing. Energetic measures are demanded, particularly a frontier guard, sufficient to prevent smuggling. About 3ÖU.O00 poods of Russian petroleum have been shipped to Chrlstianla, Norway, where American oil has heretofore monopolized the market. Boraclc Acid in Tropical Fruits. BERLIN, May 23. Prof. Edmund von Lipmann, in the Chemiker Zeitung: to-day, gives the results of his analysis of oranges, lemons and other tropical fruits, showing1 that they all contain surprising quantities of boraclc acid. The Chemiker Zeitung adds: "Experts are asking, with astonishment, how it is possible that the universal consumption of these fruits, containing such quantities of boraclc acid, could be regarded by everybody, without exception, as highly beneficial to health, if. in reality, boracic acid is necessarily injurious, as the imperial Health Office persuaded the Bundezrath." Has Fntth In Machine Cans. BERLIN, May 23. Emperor William made a speech after the sham fights conducted May 21 by German forces at Gravelotte, Alsace-Lorraine, !n which the German defenses In certain battles of the Franco-German war were repeated. His Majesty Is reported to have said that In the next European war 4,'"0 men, with machine guns, would be able. In similar positions, to stand off 85,0n0 men. and that at Gravelotte 4,000 men so armed would have put 20,000 men out of action. SUSPENDED FROM DUTY. Captain 3Inrtens( of the Transport Buford, Guilty of Cruelty. SAN FRANCISCO, May 23 -Capt. K. G. Martens, master of the United States army transport Buford, was to-day found guilty of cruelty, profanity and neglect of hi log by a board of army officers, and was ordered suspended from duty by Major C.
