resolution censuring Ambassador Bayard
for two speeches, at Edinburg and Boston,
England. The resolution declares it is i'm
proper for our representatives abroad to

to destroy their influence and impair the
confidence they should always command at
home and abroad.

mitted the draft of bill for territoria
territory occupied by the five civilized
tribes, so framed as to secure all rights of
residents and also placed the committee in
possession of facts bearing upon the
anomalous condition of affairs in the terri
tory. The subcommittee Will use this bill
as the basis of a bill to be prepared by it
and submitted to the full committee.
The house committee on postofhce and
postroads has agreed to report favorably

ion is that which excludes rate books and
reprints of books such as novels. which

class at 8 cents per pound.
The house committee on public lands to-
day drafted a bill in response to the presi-
dents message asking the removal of the
time limit within which the government
may bring suits to annul unlawful or un-
authorized grants of public lands. By the
act of March 3, 1901. the period within
which suits might be brought, was limited
to five years SO that the time will expire on

COPPINGER'S CASE
Invldious Interference Seems to Aid the Gen. |
erals Cause

Invldf0uS interference seems TO Ala the Oens
erals Cause
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. - After several
hours contest in executive session today
the senate confirmed the nomination of
Gen. j, j. Coppinger, colonel in tho
army, to be brigad;er-general, by the de-
cisive vote of A to II.
J'he nomination was sent to the senate
very soon after the convening of Congress,
but had scarcely been made public when
protests against confirmation began to
pour in from the A. T. A. in all parts of
the country.
After delay of six weeks the senate
committe on military affairs made unan-
imous favorable report to the senate. The
opposition to the confirmation was led TO.
day by Senators Burrows, Gear, Perkins,
Teller, Pettigrew, Squire and Wilson. all
of whom made speeches during the course
Bate and Palmer, all members of the COM
mittee, championed the generals cause,
detailing the results of the investigation of
the committee, which they said were en-
,ireIy favorable to Gen. Coppinger.
The opponents of confirmation based
their course of action almost entirely upon
the fact that General Coppinger has been
promoted over the heads of thirteen
colonels who were his seniors in rank,
which was dwelt upon as an unjust pro-
ceeding. When they were met with the
statement that Coppinger was selected be-
cause of his superior military record, they
asserted that there were others OF
equally meritorious records. They also
made the point that in case of
war the probabilities were altogether
favorable TO younger men coming to the
front. The opposition did not fail to
point out that Mr.. Coppinger had served in
the American army for almost thirty
years before he took out naturalization
papers and one senator at least said he
woud not vote for man who had fought,
and it was admitted Coppinye had against
Italian unity in the Garibaldian wars,
The opponents were taunled with being
influenced by the A. p. A., and with MAX
ing war on Gen. Coppinger because he was
Catholic In religion, tut they resented
this imputation to o man.
Some of those who voted for conhrmn-
tion declared that they did so in resent
ment to the interference Of the. A., p. A.,

Washington April 14.-By a decisive

willingness to vote subsidy to aid in the
construction of cable from the United
States to China and Japan, touching at
the Hawaiian islands. The vote was taken

upon at the next meeting of the commit

GERS, of which Capt. Fl. F. Picking is
senior member, appointed TO conduct the
final or efficiency trial of the battleship
Indiana, has been received at the navy
department. 1t shows that the vessel Is
worthy of Ill the praise that has been
bestowed on her. Her hull, engines. ma
chinery and fittings were found to be
faultless The trial took place on the
voyage between Port Royal, S. c., and
Norfolk, which the Indiana made in forty
hours. Although run under natural
draught and with four boilers only she
maintained an average speed of 1871
knots an excellent showing for a ship de-
signed to run fifteen knots under the best
conditions. The horse power was nearly
5000. There was very little roll, the max
imum being 20 degrees in a heavy cross
sea.
This trial completes the official testing
of the Indiana and the percentage of the
contract price retained to insure any
changes or repairs for which the con-
tractors might be held accountable will
now be paid to the Messrs. Cramps.

Movements of Warships.

Washington, April 1.-two of the war
ships sent by the United States to give
protection to American interests in Tur-
key have been Withdrawn from Turkish
waters, leaving the cruiser Marblehead
to look out for the affairs of the mis-
sionarfes. Cablegrams received at the
navy department this morning reported
the departure of the flagship San Fran
cisco from Piraeus, Greece, and the
cruiser Minneapolis from Tarento, Italy,
both bound for Naples. The Minneap-
oils, to which Admiral Selfridge will
change his flag, will go to Cronstadt, on
the North sea. The admiral and some of
his officers may attend the coronation of
Gar Nicholas and the czarlna, as
representing the United States navy.
The quietude that has existed in Arme-
mia for some months past is understood
to be the reason why the vessels have
been permitted to leave the Syrian coast.
1t Is not likely, however, that they will
return to America at present, but will re-
main on the European station ready for
any emergency that may arise inTurkey.
No plans for their future have been made
by the navy department
