Says It's n Trivial Affair.

Washington, May 27-Referring to sem
sational accounts of the personal differ
ence last night between Senators Hawley
Senator Hawley said today he had be-
come incensed over the finance commit
tees attitude toward analine dyes and
had expressed himself in pretty hot words
towards Senator Aldrich. He had how
ever, afterwards talked the matter over
with the Rhode Island senator and con-
siders that they are as good friends az
they ever were.
Senator Hawley says the matter was'
very trivial, and he deprecates the pub
locations concerning it.

At the Queens Jubilee.

Washington. May 27.-The. president
has still under consideration the question
of representa- ton of the United States at
the queens jubilee next month. He has
already provided for the representation. of
the army by Maj. Gen. Miles and of the
navy by Admiral Miller, and the ques-
ton that remains to be settled is whether
or not special civilian ambassador shall
be appointed in addition or whether Am.
bassador Hay, with the aid of a set of
special credentials, shall be allowed TO act
for this government. The precedents of
the department and the inclination of
officials are in favor of the latter course,
but it appears that most of the great
powers of the world will send special am
bassadors to do extraordinary honor to
her majesty, so it may be that rather
than stand apart in. this matter and APP
pear to be lacking in consideration, the
president will conform to the general
rule. In this case the name he has under
consideration is that of Whitelaw Reid
of New York. although it is said at the
state department that no proffer of the
honor to Mr.. Reid has yet been made.

searching a box car last night for tramps
and in his hand he carried revolver.
The car was arranged with hunks for
the use of repairmen and had been for
a few nights out of use and the resort
of tramps. In climbing into the car the
pistol was accidentally discharged, the
ball striking Tom Jones, young colored

on learning of the death of Tom Jones,
surrendered and gave $500 bond pending

REPUBLICAN WARNING.
Western Republicans Ont of Gear
Must He Readjusted.

Chicago, May 2T.-Tne national repub-
lican league has served notice that dele--
cations to the national republican league,
convention in Detroit in July must. be
in accord with the party platform. The:
executive committee of the league met
at the Auditorium today to make ar
rangements for the coming convention
The conditions of the league in the west
ern states, where the party vote was:
nearly wiped out last fall, was brought
up through the presence Of John A..
Devices of Denver. who said he repre-
scented the republicans who voted for Me-
Kinley, and he wanted to know what the
convention proposed to do in the way of
recognizing the republicans who stood
by their party in the silver states. He
discaimed being place hunter, but he
thought the league should recognize the
leaders in Colorado who had not deserted
the organization last fall. He suggested
that the league be recognized In that
state. The executive committee delegated
President Woodmansee and Secretary
Bowling to the duty of appointing a pro-
visional organization in Colorado and any
other states in which it might appear
that the old organization Is no longer IN
control Of republicans in accord with the
party.
The basis of representation to the con-
vention was made. four to each congress
sional district and ten to the state af
large.
President Woodmansee of CINCINNATI
presided over the meeting.

House Proceedings,

Washington, May 27.-There was an
attempt to bring forward the Cuban
question in the house today as soon as
the journal had been read. Mr.. Lewis
(dem.) of Washington shouted "A ques-
ton of privilege" and sent to the clerk s
desk resolution for the recognition of
the belligerency of the Cubans.
1.-The gentleman should state his ques-
ton" Mr.. Dingley interposed.
This MIR. Lewis began to do, saying
that the senate had recently passed such
a resolution and that the house should
take it up.
Mr.. Dingley made the point that this
was not privileged question, but Speak
err Reed said nothing, and Mr., Lewis pro-
ceeded with a parliamentary argument.
He commended that any question dealing
with the foreign relations of the govern
ment was the highest privilege. In sup
port of this position Mr.. Lewis quoted
Fox in the British parliament, Henry
Clay in 1929 on the question of recogni-
ton of the Spanish republic, and reso-
luton relating to Hawaii which Mr..
Dingley had attempted to call up in the
second session of the Fifty-third con-
gress and against which Mr.. McCreary
of Kentucky had attempted to make a
point of order. 1t had been then re-
ported, he said, that the present speaker
said question of foreign relations was
always a privileged question.
The speaker permitted the resolution to
be read. It follows:
Whereas, The United States senate
assembled has duly, by proper form of
resolution, declared for state of neu.
trality, according to the island of Cuba
all rights as a belligerent as against
Spain: and
"Whereas, 1t is asserted that such
right of recognition exists only with the
executive of the United States; therefore
be it
Resolved, by the house of representa-.
tives, That. as a foreign policy of the
United States, it is the rightful au.
thority of the senate and house of rep
resentatives in adopting a foreign policy
of the United States to recognize, as con.
gress. the belligerency of, and declare the
attitude of neutrality of the United
States to, the island of Cuba or any
other government or country when, in
the sense of the house, such course is
demanded by existing conditions"
The resolution having been read, Mr.
Reed promptly declared it out of order.
such a resolution can be introduced
in the regular course and can be referred
to a committee" he said.
Does the speaker hold that the reso
Dc IcleTTeu W
that is yet to be appointed?" Mr.. Lewis
inquired.
Certainly" Mr.. Reed replied, tersely
From this ruling Mr.. Lewis appealed
and MIR. Dingley's motion to table the
appeal was carried. 81 to 81.
Messrs. Cooper of Wisconsin, Linney OF
North Carolina. Mahoney of New York
OF the republicans, and Berry of Ken
lucky, Meyer of Louisiana, Mcclellan OF
New York. Settle of Kentucky and Other
democrats refrained from voting.
On roll call the speaker was sus
tanned, ~ to 81; present and not voting
II, and he announced mo quorum"
Immediately Mr.. Dingley moved to ad
Journ, and. with several democrats
shouting for recommittment, the motion
was carried by party vote, and, al
iZ:oo p. M, the house adjourned to Mon

HAVEMEYER ACQUITTED.
Judge Bradley Virtually Threw the
Case Out of Court.


Washington, May 90 Certainly, | am
satisfied with the verdict" said Henry
o. Havemeyer to an Associated Press re-
porter few minutes after the jury had
returned verdict of not guilty this after
noon.
"The verdict" he continued, fought to
be satisfactory to every decent man in
this and every other country"
That was the only expression he would
make on the result of his trial, which
has been in progress for three days.
The verdict was thee culmination of n
long legal battle which began three years
ago, when Mr.. Havemeyer declined as a
witness before the senate sugar investi-
eating committee to furnish the commit
tee data as to the political contributions
made by the company of which he is pres.
ident, to the local and state campaigns of
1892 and 1893. Broker Chapman, around
whom the preliminary battle waged, was
found guilty and is now serving 30-day
sentence in the district jail.
The conclusion of the trial was abrupt.
The defense produced no witnesses. When
the government rested its case teIday
the defense moved that the court instruct
the jury to order an acquittal on six
grounds, the principal one of which was
that the committee did not have jurisdic-
ton and that the question asked was not
pertinent.
This morning the district attorney made
a valiant attempt to induce the presid-
ing judge to override the notion but the
court, after taking IN hour and half
to weigh the arguments, sustained the
motion. In rendering his decision, which
was very lengthy and consumed over an
hour in its delivery, Judge Bradley de-
clined to rule on the main question as to
the jurisdiction of the same committee.
He said the questions involved in that
proposition were Of such grave Importance
that he would not rule ON that point
without further and more careful exami-
nation. But he held it as unnecessary to
rule on the main contention. Practically
he sustained the motion on the single
ground that the question calling for data
to state and local contributions demand
ed information not within the knowledge
of the witness, which he had testified he
had no personal knowledge of, and which,
il given at all, must have been procured
from books and of which the books them
selves were the best testimony.
Although the verdict of mot gnilty''
was given by the jury, ii was verdict
returned under the courts directions and
amounts practically to the judges throw
ing the case out of court.
The case of John Il. Searls, the secre-
tary of the sugar trust, who was indicted
with Mr.. Havemeyer for recusancy, will
be called tomorrow. District Attorney
Davis says the Searles case can not be
dismissed on the same ground, because
Mr.. Searles declined to answer q ques-
ton of which he presumably had knowl-
edge.

Az To SEMI Fisheries.

London, May 27.-In an editorial ON
Professor Darcy Thompson's report as to-
the Behring sea seal fisheries, the Times
says this morning:
The report may tend to increase sur
prise at the proposal of the United States
to revise the Paris award. Nothing short
of the most urgent necessity could render
such demand other than somewhat un-'
gracious on the part of friendly gov
ernment
AS matter of fact, both the Thomp
son and Jordan reports agree that our
knowledge of social life, on many i'm
portant points, is still very defective.
This ought to be decisive against an inn
mediate change of regulations. The bur
den of proof lies with America. Can
it be said she has made out her case2-

CRIMINAL ASSAULT
The Charge Against II Negro Arrest
ed mt AXtelI.


Hillsboro, Tex, May 26.-(Special.)-
Sheriff Bell arrested Will Hendricks near
Axtell, Texas, yesterday evening on a
charge of criminal assault on a white
lady at Mt. Calm. He brought him to
Hillsboro this morning and jailed him.
The following are the circumstances of
the assault:
Two young married ladies live with
their husbands in the western outskirts
of Mt. Calm. Monday evening. after
supper they took a walk and called a
few minutes on some friends in North
Mt. Calm. Their house is about 200
mesquite thicket or grove between
there and the town. When they started
to return home, little after o'clock, it
was getting dark, and when they were
within about fifty yards of their house
one of them remarked to the other that
she heard somebody following them. The
lady addressed did not hear any noise and
thought her friend was mistaken. She
did not realize it until negro rushed up
to her and tried TO trip her. The other
lady screamed and fled. The negro
grabbed the lady by the shoulder and a
terrific struggle ensued between them,
during which she was thrown to the
ground. She succeeded in rising again
and the negro got her partially down
when Mrs. l.. De Bolt. who lived near
there and whose attention had been at
tracted by the screams, ran out with q
lighted lantern. When the negro saw
the light he fled through the mesquite:
The news spread over the town like
wildfirc and in Il little while a posse of
over hundred was hunting the negro.
The lady gave them a description of him,
describing him as being bright mulatto
about feet inches high. The posse
learned that two strange negroes were
stopping at Frank Billington's, and
about II o'clock went to his house.
Hendricks, the negro under arrest, de-
clares he is innocent and says the reason
he ran away was afraid of being
whipped. He said he was run away
from Mt. Calm last fall and told if he
ever came back again he would be tarred
and feathered, and when the house was
entered Monday night he thought they
were coming to whip him. The other
negro, Sims Allen. and he were on their
way to Hubbard, he says, and stopped
over night at Frank Billington's.

the Cuban Resolution.

Washington, May 27.-The senate made
good progress on the tariff bill today, dis
posing of about ten pages. Several votes
were taken, the finance committee being
sutained in each case by maJorities vary
ing from 6 to 10. The drug schedule was
under discussion and the debate was
largely technical. Occasionally however,
it branched off to general phases of the
tariff, although at no time during the day
was there speech of more than i've
minutes duration.
Before taking up the tariff bill, the
final conference report on the sundry civil
bill was agreed to, including the provi-

Gnge interviewed.

Cincinnati, May 27.-Secretary of the
Treasury Lyman w. Gage and wife ar
rived here today and will remain until
Saturday. Secretary Gage is here with
cago on an outing. When asked about
the reported differences in the cabinet
over the Cuban question, Secretary Gage
said:
"That is all CANNON; there Is absolute
ly nothing in it. Such thing has never
been thought of, and there is not the least
probability of a disagreement among the
members of the cabinet on this subject"
What are the prospects for ttiee piss
