senator sherman.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Senator
Edmunds caused n sensation in the
executive session yesterday. lie
charged john Sherman with bad
faith and made the charge a ground
for resigning from the Foreign
Attain Committee. Tuesday, after
the Samoan treaty had been ratified,
Edmunds put in a resolution declar-
ing that under 1t none Of the rights Of
the United States under the treaty of
1878, which gives the United States
coaling station at Page Page, We're
impaired, which was rejected. This
angered Edmunds, who claimed il
had been agreed In committee that
If Edmunds would not oppose the
ratification Of the treaty his resolu-
ton should be passed. He brought
the matter up in executive session
and charged Sherman with trickery
In the matter.
Sherman replied that II was
agreed In eorimittee that Edmuhds
might present n resolution but not
agreed that II should be adopted.
Sherman was corroborated by Frye
and other members Of the commit
tee. The Senate refused to recon-
slider its ratification Of the treaty
and Edmunds rendered his resigna-
ton as a member OF the committee.
The resignation was decided out of
order in executive session. Ed
munds left the chamber In anger.
HE TEsTIFiEs.
The House committee on the bal.
lot box forgery resumed session this
morning. James l.. Peal, chair
man Of the State democratic execu-
tive committee, John r. Mclean,
proprietor OF the Cincinnati En-
qiiirer, and ]. c. Campbell, brother
of Governor Campbell, testified,
without developing anything Of
special interest. Mclean said he
never Jaw the fofged PAPER until
today and was never interested in
the baIIot-box bill.
7. G. Campbell told OF the intro
duction Of Woods ballot-box in Gin
cinnati, the organization Of n COM
pany in 1857, the passage Of the
New Jersey bellot-bor bill, etc.
Witness applied 10 Representative
Grosvenor, and the latter made the
point that n democrat should be Sc
lected 10 introduce the bill in the
HOuse. Witness then applied to
Representative Campbell, who in
troluced the bill. He denied the
assertions Of MADDEN and Wood and
said he never had list Of the sigma
lures of Congressman made by him
self or by any one else. Witness at
first supposed Governor Foraker was
behind the whole matter, but had
npw come 70 the conclusion that |
Hadden was the Prime f1ioter. He
added that he didn't think Foraker |
knew that Wood committed n fer
gerry, but Thought him rerniss in not |
findiDg 1t out.
REPRESENTATIVE BUTTERwoRTu
denied broadly knowing anything
about the contract or forged paper
before its publication. In the course
Ofh remarks he said he wished to /
make answer TO the question asked
by Turner; as to whether there was
any friction between himself and
Governor fOfakef. He did not
want ut to be understood that they
were on terms OF affectionate endear-
ment diiting tile carlpaign: They /
had Criticized eacn othef and wsse
not on such afiectiOnate terms as TO
be in constant communication. AS
to the Chicago convention, that was
a matter between Senator Sherman
and Governor Foraker.
This evidently angered Foraker,
who exclaimed. 80 far as the Chi
cago Convention ia c5iicetnedi ! am
to meet what anybody
may say, with the aid Of few let
ters. l do not propose to be abused
here or anywhere else about Chica-
&C. / have heard all want to hear
OF it here and In Ohio. BY the best
men IN the Republican party ut
the Chicago convention | can refute
any aspersions that any man can
make, and have heard this thing
for the last time without resenting it.
1 owe no apology to anybody except
myself, in that have not more ac-
lively defended myself against such
insinuations.
The chairman restored good hui
NOR by saying that he hoped no one
would mention Chicago again ex-
rept In CONNECTION with the Worlds
Fair.
AT BUTTE, MONTANA.
The bill introduced In the House
today for public building at Butte,
