burgh, in which Mr.. Bayard denounced
the American protective policy as foster
ing class legislation and corruption in
public life. Mr.. Mccall also of Massa-
chusetts, made still more bitter attack
upon the ambassador.
Ex-Speaker Crisp replied to Mr.. Barrett
in rather an ironlcal tone. The purpose
of the resolution, he said, was evidently
to give the gentleman on the other side
something on which to air their views on
protection. He did think, he said, that
any gentleman elected to a seat on the
floor of the House believed that this reso-
luton contained grounds for impeach-
ment. IF you impeach Mr. Bayard for
those words" said the ex-Speaker, "you
must impeach a majority of the American
people," Mr.. Mccall followed Mr.. Crisp
and said that Mr.. Bayard made violent
partisan speech which was obviously one
of improperly. Bayard, he said, had mis-
represented the American people by say
ing they needed a strong master. The
people of the United States had no mas
ter. The President was their servant.
He moved to amend his resolution so as
to include in it the extract from Mr.. Bay
ards Boston England speech incorpor-
lted in the Mccall resolution.

Allen GyiThurman Passes Away at
Columbus on Thursday.
Allen g. Thurman died at Columbus,
Ohio, mt 1: 10 p. IN. Thursday. The pub
lie career of Judge Thurman was an open
book. His comparatively recent prom
inent position before the public rendered
the important points in his career quite
familiar. He was born at Lynchburg,
Va, in 1913, and removed to Chilicothe,
Ohio, with his parents when six years OF
age. Thurman was not religious man,
in the strict sense, and very often he was
POLITICALLY profane, yet both his private
public life was remarkable for its purity.
Since the death of his wife, two years
ago. he had been more secluded than ever.
He had felt her loss more than his stoical
spirit would display, yet his grief had
been that of the philosopher. Judge
Thurman was n rich man. The estate of
his wife had been well managed and
greatly increased. The Thurman family
has always been among the most aristo-
cratic in the State, and the younger gen.
GRAFTON is prominent in the social circles
of Columbus.

lead was greeted with enthusiasm when
1t reached the outer corridors. The
strength of ST. Louis was somewhat
greater than had been expected, while
neither Pittsburg nor Chicago made the
showing anticipated. st. Louis gained
steadily on each ballot. San Francisco
sought to meet this by drawing the votes
of Chicago, but without avail. The first
serious break occurred when David Mar
tin of Pennsylvania led the Pittsburg
forces toward ST. Louis. On the fourth
and last formal ballot the San Francisco
forces broke for the first time, Michigan,
Wyoming and Connecticut going to st.

Louis the convention. The choice was
made unanimous on motion Of Mr.. DE
Young of San Francisco.
Great Rejoicing i'm st. Louis.
There was general rejoicing in st. Louis
over the action of the National Republi-
can Committee i'm selecting that city as
the place for holding of the next national
Republican convention. Not only those
who will be directly benefited by the con-
vention and its attendant crowds showed
their interest in the action of the National

north nave of which will be fitted up at
a cost of $4,000, and when finished will

hall perfect for its work.
Hotel managers were kept busy all
afternoon and evening answering tele-
grams from different parts of the coun-
try asking that rooms be reserved during
the convention week. Speaker Reed and
Major Mckinley, Presidential possibili-
ties, anticipating the committees action,
had already reserved quarters at the
Southern Hotel, where their respective
State delegations will also be taken care
of. j. III. Manley, Secretary of the Ma
tional Committee, telegraphed that rooms
be reserved for the committee at the same
hotel. General Russell A. Alger, another
possible candidate for Presidential hon
ors, has secured rooms at the Southern,
which will also be the headquarters of
the following State delegations: Michi-
gan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Maine, Colo

Melville Z. Stone, general manager of
the Associated Press, will make his
headquarters at the st. Nicholas Hotel,
while the working force will be taken
care of Mt the Planters Hotel, handy to
both the telegraph companies. Already
about half the available rooms in the
first and second class hotels have been
spoken for, but there is still room enough
left to care for the crowds that will at
tend the convention.

SENATOR CULLoM. States should main
tain the national honor with its present
unity and integrity it must have an af-
firmative policy of such unquestioned
propriety as to receive the universal
sanction of the people. In his judgment
the United States could no longer delay
the proclamation of the American policy
known as the Monroe doctrine. The gov
ernments of the old world should know
that seventy million American citizens
were a unit in maintaining that doctrine.
Instead of remaining merely an edict of
the President the doctrine enunciated by
President Monroe should bear definite ap-
prevail of Congress, and thus become a
permanent ordinance. Other nations
seemed to regard the Monroe doctrine as
impotent in guiding the conduct of the
government. and hence they proceeded to
the accomplishment, of their purposes
without much reference to il.
In Mr.. Cullom's Judgment the time had
come when the nation should put the
question beyond cavil by Congressional
declaration of the doctrine. The. nation
had played diplomacy long enough and
without much effect. Great Britain had
been disregarding polite requests, argu-
mects, ETC., touching her policy to reach
out further until, if left alone. she will
finally dominate Venezuela. The time
had come for plain, positive declaration
of the Monroe doctrine by Congress-, and
then, IL necessary, plain, positive en-
forcement of il against all corners.
Mr.. Cullom referred to the penchant of
the great European powers for the occu-
patton and absorption of territory of weak
foreign nations whose productions were
of Importance to their trade and COM
merce. The United States. he said. was
the first great nation which had declined
maintain distant colonies. The United
States drew the line Exactly where II ex-

Investigation, according to New York

plus of more than $4,000. 900 and the ap-

there would be a surplus of 81, 2oO,OOO

that the February dividend on the COM

TO RECOGNIZE THE INSURGENTS.
Frederick, of Kansas, Wants the
House to Help Cubans.

Broderick, of Kansas, Wants the
House to Help Cubans.
There is no doubt that a movement to
recognize the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerents will be pressed upon the atten-
ton of the House soon after its organiza-
ton has been completed, says n Washing
ton correspondent. Possibly a resolution
may be reported from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of its own motion. This
is talked of, but if the committee does
not care to take up the matter itself
there are influential members outside who
are ready to assume the initiative. One
of them is Representative Broderick of
Kansas, who was a member of the Ju-
dietary Committee in the last Congress.
Mr.. Broderick has resolved TO prepare
resolution himself If no action is taken
by members who are particularly identi-
fed with diplomatic matters. He be-
lieves that the course of this government
toward the Republic of Texas and toward
Mexico when Macmillan was undertake
ing its conquest furnishes precedents for
recognition of Cubans, and that the
course of Spain in recognizing the South
ern Confederacy soon after its formation
furnishes provocation, if any be neces-
Sary.

Germania Sinks the Cambrac.

Passengers on the White Star steamer
Germanic had thrilling experience at
London Wednesday morning. AS the big

did so, for no sooner had the jnterlockcd
