HOONFscrD PIRATES CAUGHT



FfUl 1 yaa Fyaacisoo chronicle.
The Nicoroy Of Canton reports the
capture Of q large number Of pirates,
and solici,s rewards for the officers who
specially distinguished themselves in
effectirg their apprehension. The coast
of the Canton province has, it Is stated,
been infested for many years past by
bands of pirates. who have formed them.
selves into powerful organizations, and
harass the country far and wide. Tne
chief of am these societies, whose num-
Der is considerably over a hundred, was
a notorious pirate called Tseng-luyu-
chuan. whose depredatious had long
been the terror Of the coast Last wear
his principal confederate, Iseng va
chieh fell into the hands Of the authori-
ties whereupon he organized another
band and continued as active in crime
as before.
After capturing twelve pirates the
Imperial troops came in sight of two
pirate vessels, one Of which carried the
Chief Tseng-luyu.chuan himself a
brisk fire was at once opened on both
sides, and the pirate chief, being
wounded and closely pressed, was
obliged to take 10 the water and swim
for his life. Finding escape hopeless
he stabbed himself, and was arrested in
a dying condition. The vessels having
been boarded, seventeen foreign guns
and twenty three charts containing the
pirates plans of campaign were among
the plunder
Tseng's evidence was to the effect
that as q boy he had Joined the rebels
in the Canton province, and had sub
sequently taken up piracy as a profes.
sion. For nearly quarter Of a century
he claimed TO have been tts undisputed
leader Of all the pirates in the Canton
waters, and his yearly income, which,
exclusive Of disbursements, he estima-
ted at several tens Of thousands Of taels,
was shared In by the other members Of
the confederacy. He died before he
could be sent TO Canton, but his head
was exposed to the public gaze as were
these Of twelve Of his followers who
shared his fate Two other parties Of
troops which were sent by Admiral
Fang to scour the neighborhood sue
ceeded In capturing thirty pirates
and three vessels. Several Of the pris-
oners proved to be heads Of pirate or
gaHizations which have been preying on

forty pirates were brought to justice

THE ALLEGATION CAUSES 4 DEBATE.
The Senate Approves the District Appro-
priahon Bill-.-Matters Of Interest
to Washington.

The Senate in accordance with the
resolution adopted yesterday met at 10
O'Clock this morning, but with less
than a dozen members present to listen
TO the Chaplaln's opening prayer.
Mr.. German at once raised the ques-
tion Of a quorum. a roll call showed
only thiriy-two Senators present, but
others soon came in and by 1920 a
quorum was present and the journal
was read
An executive communication from
Secretary Noble. inclosing a long let
ter from Major Powell, director Of the
Geological Survey, on the subject Of
irrigation and canal sites. was laid be.
fore the Senate and Mr. German asked
to have It read. After the Clerk had
read part Of the letter, objection came
from the Republican side of the
Chamber to delaying public business by
reading q communication that could
be printed and laid before members
tomorrow morning.
This led TO a sharp discussion about
printing such documents in the Record
and some warm words passed between
Mr.. German and Mr.. Sherman. The
former insisted upon having the letter
read, although Mr.. Hawley, chairman
OF the Printing Committee, assured him
he could have the communication
printed within four hours. Mr.. Sher.
man finally objected TO the further
reading Of the letter. lie did not want
business delayed by Il.
Mr.. German remarked that n the
Senator from Ohio had been in the
Chamber In time this morning, under
his own resolution the document could
have been read and the public business
facilitated. He would not submit to
have any Senator intimate that because
he wanted public document read, In
order to get information from Il, his
object was to delay the public business
Mr.. Sherman resented ihe cmphasiz-
ing Of the fact that he had come into the
Chamber this morning fifteen minutes
after the hour fixed for meeting. He
had been engaged during those fifteen
minutes In public business which he
considered as Of more importance than
listening to the reading Of the Journal.
He was probably present In the Senate
four days for the one day that the Sena-
tor from Maryland was.
The Senate then decided that the
document should not be read
Mr.. German, with some warmth, re-
sented the insinuation that because he
wanted II read he was delaying public
business.
The presiding officer then said the
letter would be printed as a miscelIane-
Gus document.
Mr.. Frye made statement In relation
TO the River and Harbor bill to the effect
that, as a result between the Committees
on Commerce and Finance, the River
and harbor bill would be taken up on
Friday of next week.
Consideration of the tariff was re-
sumed, the subject then under discus
sion being licoTiee paste.

In the House this morning Mr. Oates
of Alabama, as a question Of privilege,
offered a resolution for the investigation
Of the charges of corruption in connec-
tion with the passage Of the Silver bill
against members Of the House, con
tanned IN an editorial In the National
Economist Mr.. Oates said that when a
charge Of this kind was made by a
respectable journal IT was worth inVes-
tigation.
Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois eontended that
If such charges were made specific and
by somebody who had evidence TO sus-
tain them, il would be well 10 look into
the matter. but under the circumstances
they were unworthy Of notice.
Mr. GrOsYenOT Of Ohio thought II the

MT Richardson Of Tennessee con
sidered the editorial an assault upon
the integrity Of the House. and that
body owed II 10 its fair fame 10 have
the matter investigated.
The Speaker decided the motion was
not a privileged one In doing so he
said these paragraphs were constantly
floating about Ia the newspapers Of the
country They were Of vague chaTac-
ter and made no statement uDOn
which anybody could be expected 70
predicate a belief OF a conviction. The
House would be put 10 great inconVeni-
enCe If any member had the right on

10 demand an investigation.

which, however was sustained by q
