THE MANUFACTURERS, CLUB.
What Senators Teller and Cannon
Say of It's Resolutions.

What Senator'S Teller and Cannon
Say of It's Resolutions.
A Star reporter this morning interviewed
Senator'S Teller ard Cannon on the action
of the Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia
lest night in repudiating the idea that the
club was for the free coinage of silver and
in repudiating the conference here OF GER
tain manufacturers and Senators as repre-
senting the views of the club. -t
Senator Teller said: II am not surprised
at the action of the club. 1 never thought
that the club was for silver. OF the gentle
men who came Eere some were for free
coinage, some for bimetallism and some for
the gold standard. I know, however, that
eventually the manufacturers will have
more interest in the free coinage of silver
than my own state or any other class of
men,"
Why do you say SOP
Because the present monetary system is
acting as an automatic tariff to keep our
manufactured articles out of other coun-
tries. The manufacturers will find, after a
little, that they can't compete with oriental
countries, with the system as it is, and that
they will also be driven out of their own
markets."
Senator Cannon said: 'I was surprised at
that portion of the resolutions which con-
tains the assumption that the manufa ctu-
rers are the only persons who do not bar
gain for legislation in their own behalf
My experience has been that they are the
most persistent lobbyists who come to
Washington. As far the west is con-
6erned, we are not selfish on this question
We are now producing more gold than sill
YER. If this Asiatic wave should continue,
We would be benefited more than any other
people. If the manufacturers wait to see
an international agreement, they win die
by inches. The monarchial countries will
never consent to it. -

Some Action by This Government
Will Soon BE Called For.
While it canIot be learned that the Uni
ted States has actually joined with Great
Britain in representations to France re-
spect.ng the setting aside by the latter of
the treaties of commerce and aniity that
have existed between them and the Hova
government of Madagascar it is believed
that the matter is rapidly assuming
phase that will soon call for some action
by our government Like Great Britain,
the United States has treaty with the
Hova government that guarantees to our
citizens privileges equal to those accorded
thing that no greater duties shall be i'm
posed on goods imported into Madagascar
from the United States than from any
other country. 1t is the purpose of the
French government to remove this equality
and reserve special privileges for French
merchants. AS the trade of the United
States with Madagascar is really of large
Importance, this is matter that concerns
our exporters very deeply.
The government of France has notified
our State Department that by virtue of its
assumption of control over the foreign re-
lations of Madagascar these treaties shall
fall. If France has annexed Madagascar
or made 1t French colony, then our gov
ernment, it is admitted, must admit her
right to abrogate the treaties in this fash
ion, but it is not certain that the present
anomalous status of the French on the
island can be regarded as sufficient to war
rant the assumption of any such right, and
it may be that before out government Will
admit 1t there must be a much more ex-
plicit definition of the exact scope of
French authority in Madagascar and a
clear assumption of the responsibility for
the government of the island.

The officials of the Navy Department are
now considering the assignment to the
command of a ship of Captain Allan V.
Reed, at present commandant of the Ports
mouth, N. H, navy yard, whose promotion
to the grade of commodore is subject to a
years probationary trial. BY virtue OF
his position at the head of the list of cap
tains he is entitled to the command of
one of the finest ships in the navy, and
it is therefore possible that he may be
assigned to the Oregon or the Massachu-
setts, battle ships Of the class Of the In

motion to the grade of commodore is that
he shall prove his efficiency In the COM

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS
How to Get the Marlboro Railway Into
the District.
Senator Gorman's Amendmcnt-The
EcktngtOn's Effort to Use Conn
pressed Air Motors.

Senator German today introduced a bill
in the Senate proposing certain amend
ments to the charter Of the Washington and
Marlboro Railroad Company. The amend
ments are in the form Of a new section to
take the place of the second paragraph Of
the charter, and outlines a new route into
the District and the city. This route begins
on the southeast boundary line OF the Dis
trict, where the line Of the railway shall
enter the District from the state of Mary
land, and will run thence by the Suitland
road, Bowen road and Branch avenue, or
by such other practicable route as the Com
missioners may approve, to connect with
Pennsylvania avenue extended; thence by
that avenue to and across the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad on Railroad
avenue, thence along that avenue to Naylor
road to the AnacOstia river.
The read is to be carried across the
river by steel or iron truss bridge, built
by the company on masonry piers that
are to rest parallel with the direction Of
the current. The plans of The bridge are
to be approved. In writing, by the Secre-
tary OF War. II at any time 1t shall be
determined by the Secretary that draw
spaI in such bridge is needed by the inter-
ests of navigation. then the company shall
place such span over the river channel
in the bridge, or the bridge shall be other
wise altered in accordance with plans ap-
proved by the Secretary. When the tracks
are once on this side of the river they shall
be carried across the Baltimore and Po-
tomac railroad at such height and in such
manner as not to interfere with the use
of the latter tracks, and shall then go to
18th street east, thence north on 18th
street to Florida avenre, thence to 18th
street west.
When the proposed extension of Penn
sylvania avenue shall have been completed
to the Bowen road, then the route Of the
washington and Marlboro road may be ex-
tended from the intersection of Branch
avenue to the Bowen road by Pennsylvania
avenue, and by such further practicable
route as may be approved by the Comm:s-
sioners to the boundary lire of the District
at or near the Suitland road. But such ex-
tension shall be made within one year after
the opening Of Pennsylvania avenue
There is another branch provided along
The presentation of the amendment by
Senator German practically makes The
proposed Marlboro road direct competi-
tor with the East Washington Heights
road for the privilege of connecting the
territory near Overlook Inn with the city,
although this road Sacks primarily to con-
meet Marlboro and that vicinity with
Washington.
The bill Incorporating the East Wash
ington Heights Company has been ordered
to favorable report by the Senate COM
by the Senate at any time. The Wash
ington and Mariboro's road already has a
charter, but cannot well get into the city

Right to His Seat.
SUNlRY civil BILL IN TEE HOUSE
The Silver Men and Manufacturers
Conference Referred To.
70 INCREASE FOR DUFFIELD

The Senate, after blief attention to rou-
tine business today, proceeded to the con-
sideratIon of the Du Pont election case, and
Mr.. George (Miss.) was recognized for
speech in opposition to the claims OF Mr..
Du Pcnt for a seat in the Senate from Del
aware.
1t was mainly legal argument on the
question at issue.
Mr.. George ccntended that the rigid sep
aration of the three branches Of govern
ment-legisIative, executive and judicial
was the dictum of Montesque. but that
Madison and other American statesmen
did not accept it. He showed that in many
states governors acted as surrogates or
judges, and in some the upper branch
of the legislature was made a judicial body.
From this Mr.. George argued that Gov.
sena tor in the state senate. 1t is on this
point that the claim of Mr.. Du Pont hinges
Other Services Cited.
In support of his position Mr.. George
Icited the service of Mr. Justice Brewer on
the Venezuela commission; that of Senator
Morgan and Justice Harlan on the Bering
sea court Of arbitration, and that Of Sena-
tors Allison and Jones on the international
monetary conference. as instances of the
interchangeability of legislative, executive
and judicial functions.
Speaking of Mr.. Mitchelis presentation
Of the case Mr.. George declared that Mr..
Mitchells speech had been excellent in all
respects but one; it was entirely devoid of
reasoning. He said he hoped
to convince even the Senator from Oregon
OF the falsity Of his position before con-
cluding. He said in reply to a question that
he considered that Mr.. Watson held the
office of governor by virtue Of his posi-
ton as speaker of the senate.
