THE SENATE STAR CHAMBER.
An Old C1erk, Suspected of Leaking
Suspended From Office.

suspended rom ofnce.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 1L-After a
stormy debate in executive session the
Senate today yielded to the pressure of
the committee on foreign relations and
vacated the office of executive clerk,
filled for ten years by James R. Young
When the doors were closed an effort was
made to have the conduct of Young inves-
tlgated. This was defeated after a spirited
contest. Cameron presented letter from
Young signifying his willingness to sur
render the office, but requesting thorough
investigation, stating that if he betrayed
executive secrets, as alleged, he is liable to
punishment under the law and perfectly
willing to abide by the result. The motion
for an investigation was defeated by q
small majority.
The senators who betrayed reluctance
to convict clerk without an investiga-
ton were told by the committee on foreign
relations that it had absolutely satisfied
itself of the justice of the proposition. 1t
stated that if the Senate decided to main
tain secrecy in executive sessions the num-
Der of employees in whom confidence is re-
posed must be decreased and secrecy
be maintained, since the employees
were excluded Finally the COM
mittee made the matter per-
sonal issue and intimated that they
could refuse to participate in executive
business if the clerk be not dismissed.
Despite the efforts of Manderson and other
advocates for a fair investigation, the
junior senators, fearful of incurring the
i'll will of the powerful committee on for
eign relations, voted reluctantly for vacat-
ing the office, which was carried by ten
majority.

THEY DO 1T so IN MOSCOW.
The British Columbia Government, Ex.
posed by Newspaper, Strikes Back.


New WESTMINSTER, April H. Special.
From all appearances the city today was
in state of siege. On almost every cor
ner stood one or two special" constables,
and here and there regular. Columbia
street was patrolled by provincial officers
and Frederick Hussey, superintendent of
provincial police. The alleged cause of all
this was the desire of the provincial au-
thorities, on behalf of the provincial gov
ernment, to serve summons on James
M. and Robert Kennedy. publishers of the
Columbian, to appear before the bar of the
House tomorrow afternoon at 2:3o O'Clock
to answer for "scandalous libel," high
contempt, etc, as appeared in the Column
bian editorial on March II. The
badly wanted men, however, were not
to be found, and the semi military display
fell fiat, except so far as it tended to rouse
the indignation of the citizens. Three
times the Columbian office was visited by
officers detailed to execute the mandate of
the government but the so-called libelers
were absent. A summons wired in haste
by the attorney-general on Saturday even
ing had been served by Deputy Sheriff
Armstrong, but evidently this was not
considered enough, and the superintendent

were prepared, had they been able to find
Messrs. Kennedy to take more severe
measures and the fact of so many precau-
tions being taken proves this.
1t was supposed that the hunted pub
fishers would try 10 escape, and strict
watch was kept on the Columbian building
from 10 a. m. till nearly o'clock, when, all
hope of capture in time for the Victoria
steamer then being abandoned, the troops
returned to the barracks to await further
orders from headquarters. All forenoon
the Columbian Office was thronged with
citizens, many of whom offered to lend
their assistance. even to resist forcibly if
necessary. Though appreciating these
kind offers. the publishers were delighted
to decline, it not being their intention to
start civil war or do anything which
might lead to riot. The publishers will
fight the matter in a proper way, but they
will not submit to unlawful arrest, if they
can prevent it, at the instigation of an ire
sponsible and not too scrupulous gov
ernment.

For Infringing on Ward McAllister.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 11.-Official
circles have been wondering why the
Italian government recalled the Marquis
Imperiall, its representative here, in view
of the fact that he was entirely acceptable
to this government. and that mutual har-
mony prevailed. 1t is now said that his
recall was one of the results of the famous
Letter bail of last month. 1t seems that
the marquis acted as sort ofmaster of cere-
monies upon that occasion, at the request
of Mrs. Letter, and, following Ward Nc
Allister's example, designated the sin
ner circle" upon whom special favors
were lavished. In the presence of all the
guests at this swell affair, a ribbon was
stretched through parlors, so the story
goes and under the supervision of the Mar

to protest against this discrimination, but

actions, and summoned him home.

BRUSSELS, April 1l.-Independence Beige
publishes in its last issue the first of two
articles on the United States, South
America and Europe by Senor Maximilli-
ano Ibanez, the well-known Chilean writer.
He reviews the circumstances of the Balti-
more dispute between the United States
and Chile, and attempts to show that the
American government was quite wrong
and unjustly exactIng from first to last.
He discards the idea that Blaine's policy
was merely inspired by electioneering pur-
poses, and proceeds to show that it is part
and parcel of 4 general policy aiming at
results highly alarming to South Ameri-
can states and European nations, among
which Great Britain, France and Ger
many stand first. Senior Ibanez recalls
the annexation of California to the United
States, the Washington City cabinets in
reference in the war between Chile and
Peru in 1879, the pressure exercised in
order to induce Peru ito surrender its re-
sources and freedom into the hands of the
American firm of Grace & Donoughmore,"
the meddling of the United States i'll the
recent Chilean revolution, and, lastly, the
Washington City Pan-American congress,
where, he says, Blaine attempted to de-
stroy the independence of the South Amer
ican states through an arbitration court
which would have made the United States
master of the fate of the New Worlds
Latin republics. All these facts, besides
the proposed Nicaragua canal, are set forth
as showing that the United States is re-
solved upon achieving by might or right
the dream of the New Worlds zollverein,
which would place both portions of Amer
lea under its sway.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 1.-THE navy
department is informed that the United
States ship Mohican has gone to Esqui-
malt, b. c., to be docked in the British
navy yards for repairs necessitated by run
ming on Point Wilson and losing about ten
feet of her false keel. The secretary of the
navy today received telegram from Ia
coma merchants protesting against the
Mohlcan going to an English drydock
when she might have been repaired just as
well at Tacoma. The secretary says he was
not aware the Tacoma drydock was fin
ished or that she was capable of receiving
vessel the size of the Mohican, and as the
Mohican was en- route to Berirg sea it was
easier to have her repaired at Esquimalt
than bring her back to San Francisco.
TACOMA. April u.-[Special. The talk
of the town tonight turned on the adver-
tisement given Tacoma through the pro-
tests against docking the Mohican at
Esquimait. Some partisan Democrats be-
lieve that political capital can be wrung
out of the situation at the expense of the
Republican administration. Protests be-
gan last night, when A. n. Fitch demanded
an explanation of Secretary Tracy.
He replied this afternoon that it
was too late to countermand the order,
and protesting ignorance of the size Of
Tacoma's dock, or that it was ready to re-
ceive vessels. John I. Redman. Nelson
Bennett, Paul Schulze, and Secretary
Shafner, of the Commercial Club were
among those who today wired either Pres
ident Harrison, Secretary Tracy or Sem
ators Allen or Mitchell. Business men
seemed inclined to be indignant and are
credited with making the most of the sit
uation in letting the country know about
their drydock.
