HELD and when it is determined whether the Moderate,

party will accept defeat at the hands of the Liberals. Even if matters! are somewhat acrimonious at that time, so long as they do not culmi-i nate in ACTUAL WARFARE we should not condemn the Cubans too severely, because we haven't the purest and most peaceful elections s j? x-l a Ti ; i. ? ii

MIDNIGHT ASSASSINS

What the President Calls the Men Who "Shot Up" Brownsville, Tex.

SEITOS DJ SOME MOEE PROOF

Declares It Absolutely Conclusive of Their Guilt

Washington, Jan. 13. President Roosevelt, in a special message sent

to the senate, revoked part of his now

lupous oruer uiscnargius ujicc companies of negro soldiers in the army scandal at Brownsville, Tex. He re-

"What does the senator mean by bein honest, asked Spooner. - "When r confess my sins I know every man here is equally sinful; that's all I mean." "The senator can confess for himself and not for me. What does the senator want?" Tillman then explained that he had arisen to state that he had not criticised the whole regiment. He added

there were many good negroes. As this seemed to surprise Spooner, Tillman added that he had good negroes working for him for thirty years, and he believed there were millions of good ones. "I do not hate the race," he added. "I simply feel that I am superior to it; that is all." "That is a question I decline to discuss." retorted Spooner. "In some ways the senator is superior." This elicited from Tillman the explanation: "When I say 'I' I mean that the white race is superior to the colored race. Now, will the senator understand me':" Spooner disclaimed any intention to discuss the race question, which he said was entirely outside the present

question.

and an INDEPEKDEOT republic. THE SACRIFICES THE CUBANS MADE IN THE TEN YEARS' WAR, AND THEIR LOVE OF LIBERTY, WHICH IS THE SAME ASOURS, EVEN WHEN WE WERE FIGHTING AMONG OURSELVES, SHOULD BE REWARDED TO THAT EXTENT. I think . the Liberals were justified in resorting to arms to gain their ends. It was THE ONLY WAY, as the Moderates controlled the election machinery and unquestionably conducted a farce at the la3t election. President Palma is a good man, but he was surrounded, by as bad a lot of men as there are in the island. The Liberal army.: had at the head of it some very EXCELLENT MEN. It did nodamage except as a military necessity and maintained order to the extent of executing a few of its obstreperous followers. It probably.

the army or enter the r.avy. But he says if any disgraced man clears himself of culpability in or knowledge of

the Brownsville crimes he will deal

with such man's case on its merits as

the facts warrant. Calls Them "Midnight Assassins."" President Roosevelt declares . there is no power that can review his act in dismissing the negro soldiers. He calls the disgraced troops "midnight

assassins." and says "there is no doubt

of my constitutional and legal power"

in discharging them without honor. He

admits that the revoked part of his or-

Two Bodies That Fight Her Desire for

Lake Michigan Water.

Washington, Jan. 15. Chicago's ap

plication for permission to reverse the current of the Calumet river in order to provide the city with a system of

sewerage met with opposition at a

hearing before Secretary Taft. The

American Civic association and the Lake Carriers' association contend that it would mean a substantial re

duction in the level from the head of

Lake Michigan to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They believe the right to give a permit Is vested In congress only.

Supporters of the proposal questioned

whether the federal srovernment can

forbid the taking of water for domes

tic and sanitary purposes.

The Chicago delegation made Its ar

gument principally on the sanitary benefit the Calumet scheme would be

to Chicago, but Isham Randolph, chief

engineer of the Chicago sanitary district, insisted that the abstraction bf

water from the great lakes to Chicago's sanitary district had not shown any reduction in the depth of the lakes.

is regarded merely as what she .OUGHT t TO .DO, but if a man did the same thing we should certainly hear about it.

Consider the women dressmakers, proprietors of big establish-

ments run and controlled by themselves. Consider the milliners, the private secretaries and other business women. THEN THINK OF THE WOMEN EQUCATORS, HEADS OF BIG SCHOOLS. CERTAINLY THERE IS NO DOUBTING EXECUTIVE ABILITY IN THAT QUARTER.

And then consider the mother with children. How many men could manage as she does when cast upon her own resources? Does

it not mean executivo ability for a mother of small children, left pen

niless, to start out to educate and raise those children, TO KEEP

HER FAMILY TOGETHER? Was there ever a man under such

circumstances who could do it? Where i3 there a lack of executive

ability in that woman's makeup ?

Senate and House in Brief. Washington, Jan. 15. Taking but a

brief time to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation

bill, carrying nearly $31,000,000, the senate devoted the remainder of the

day to the Brownsville affray.

The house spent most of the day

considering legislation pertaining to

the District of Columbia, after which

consideration of the fortifications appropration bill was resumed. The

message of the president regarding the

Colorado river wasread.

DOES NOT SATISFY" FORAKER

Message Falls, He Says, to Meet What

He Is After.

After the message had been read

Foraker, saying he was not going to

make a speech "but a few remarks,'

observed that the testimony amounted to a great deal "For the president

tells us it is conclusive. But it does

not remove the objection I have had

from the beginning of this proceeding.

What I have been trying to contend

for, and I hope I will be successful, is

to secure hearing for the men charged

with this serious crime. This testi

mony has been taken as the other was,

behind closed doors, without anybody

representing the men. That is the reason I shall not desist, notwithstanding

what the president has said as to the

character of it, from pressing for an

investigation of the subject where

especially the men who are charged

with the crimes of murder, perjury

and conspiracy can be heard."

The speechmaking on the subject

then began and continued until 5:30 o'clock. Mallory, indorsing the action of the president, held that the presi

dent might have gone too far in pre-

enting the re-enlistment of the soldiers

involved, but otherwise he approved

the president's order of discharge.

NEWS FACTS IN OTJTLlJiis

Austin, Tex., Jan. 13. In consequence of the effort of certain members cf the Texas legislature to investigate United States Senator Bailey

and his alleged connection with the Waters-Fierce Oil company the senate remained in continuous session from 1 to 10:30 p. m. debating an effort to prevent a vote. When the senate adjourned last Friday until Monday pend

ing action upon the part of the house on the resolution to investigate Bailey, it was with the understanding that the senate would not consider the matter in any form until yesterday afternoon, and then only in committee for future action by the senate. Explains the Senate's Troubles. Early yesterday morning, however, the investigation resolution was called

from the committee and a substitute offered therefor providing for the appointment of a committee to ascertain as to whether or not an investigation was in any degree necessary. Last Friday the anti-Bailey forces had the best of the proposition by a majority of two, but yesterday the Bailey forces had the better of it by one vote, an absent anti-Bailey man and a changed vote representing the difference. With this condition of affairs confronting them the Bailey forces tried to rush through an adoption of their substitute resolution, but were prevented by a debate which was ended by the Bailey men forcing an adjournment. Situation in the House. In the house Senator Bailey's friend's had the floor under the joint agreement of Saturday to give both sides four hours before a final vote upon the proposition, and they consumed all the morning session, but only a few min

utes of the afternoon, when on motion of a Bailey adherent an adjournment was taken in order that arrangements might be perfected in the way of decs orations for Governor Campbell's inauguration. Hundreds of ladies and gentlemen are in constant attendance upon the debate in both houses.
