Washington, Dec. 7. The senate adopted the Penrose resolution requesting the president to send it information regarding the discharge of the negro troops of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and also the Foraker resolution directing the secretary of war to transmit all information in the possession of his department on the same subject. Doth resolutions carried an iden

tical amendment by Cnllerson asking specifically for the order to Major Penrose commanding the troops which directed him not to turn over to the Texas authorities certain of the troops demanded. President Has a Fixed Opinion. There was a discussion as to whether the request should be made to the president or to the secretary of war, and a report was current in the chamber that the president felt so strongly about the matter that if the request was not made to him there would bo no response at all. To lay the foundation for a discussion of this point Carter observed that "It had been alleged, and not denied" that the troops In question had committed murder In Texas. This brought Foraker to his feet with an emphatic disclaimer. This allegation had been denied, he said, and much evidence adduced, to support the denial. Foraker Produces the Record. "Wei!," continued Carter, "it has been alleged and not denied that there wis a disturbance participated in by troops." "That, too, has been denied," asserted Foraker. "Wei!," again begun Carter, "it has been alleged mid not denied that there was a disturbance." Foraker produced a printed copy of testimony in the ease which he had obtained at the war department, extracts of which he read to show, as he said, that It was

"unsausiactory, incomplete and or a flimsy character ana that no Jury In Christendom" would convict under it. night of Trial Ignored ? Foraker rend at length the testimony supplied by the war department. ITe said it appeared that murder, misprison of felony and perjury had been committed by some one three crimes for the punishment of any one of which the constitution secured to every in an the right of trial before punishment. Nothing of particular interest took place during the remainder of the debate, and at its conclusion both resolutions were adopted, as stated above.

great interest throughout the lake and ocean shipping regions of the coun

BRYAN REBUKES ROOSEVELT "Shame Upon Him," Ho Says, for Being So Warlike Navy Not the Best Peace Preserver. Lincoln, Neb., Dec 7. Commenting on President Itoosevelt's message William J. Bryan says there Is much that is good and much that fs bad in it.

but It may bo regarded as the president's most important state paper. "The message contains much that is Democratic and for which the general public may well thank him. It contains some things that ought to arouse severe criticism." Among these latter is the president's "warlike attitude." "He speaks of the navy," t aid Bryan, "as the surest guarantor of peace which this cxmntry possesses. Shame upon the chief executive that be should place an instrument of brute force above the nation's sense of justice as a guarantor of peace. The best guarantor of peace is our nation's principle to deal justly with other nations. War ought to be a last resort, not a first consideration."
