martial.
Col. Picquart-Gen. PeIieux can speak
for himself.
Gen. Peilieux (rising from his seat

a strange thing for man to come here

PROF. ALGER CRITICISED.
"Spontaneous Combustion" Theory
Declared to Be Foolish

Naval Constructor Hichborn. the high
est authority in the Navy. who has al
ready made a positive statement scout
ing the accident theory of the Maine
catastrophe. is highly incensed that the
statement made by Prof Alger. the tor
pedo expert. yesterday, should be ac-
cepted by any person as the official opin-
ion of the department.
He says he will not allow such fool
ish theory as the spontaneous combus-
ton to obtain a foothold in any mind
if he can prevent 1t. He points out that
the Maine was lying at anchor in Ha-
vana harbor. with everything tending to
make spontaneous combustion impossi-
BILE. In addition TO this, he says that
the forward coal bunkers were nearly
empty. according to everything that he
can learn of the affair. IL there were
any coal whatever In the forward bunk
ers. he said. ii was anthracite.
Prof. Alger. says Constructor Hichborn
takes the most plausible explanation,
rather than any unpleasant one
the constructor holds that there is
no plausibility, and not even "a shadow
of a possibility in the spontaneous COM
bustion theory.

OLD SOLDIERS RESOLVE.
Pledge Their Loyalty To Old Glory
and Ask Prompt Investigation.


Encampment No. Ill. Union Veterans
Legion, met last night and took action
on the Maine disaster. The following
resolutions were passed
Whereas we have heard with pro-
found sorrow of the terrible shock to
this country, caused by the horrfyng
disaster to the battleship Maine, and We
as veterans of the late war who have
on every occasion upheld the honor of
our flag and participated in the terrible
struggle for the preservation of this Tn
ion, and with vivid remembrance OF
the mental and physical sufferings en-
dured by us a people during those
years from 1861 to 1865; therefore.
BE il resolved, That the sympathes
of this encampment are hereby extend
ed to the people Of America In this great
national loss.
Resolved, That our deepest and most
heartfelt sympathy Is hereby extended
to the families and relatives of those who
lost their lives by this sad catastrophe.
and commend them to the Creator Of the
universe. who alone can fathom this I'M
fortunate affair. and whose mysterious
ways are past our comprehension.
Resolved, That We deplore the dis
aster and hope that full and complete
investigation. now indicated and directed
by the proper authority, may show ii to
have been an accident for which no one
was culpable. We who remain of the
veterans of the late war are loath TO be-
lieve that the dire calamity could have
been one of purpose and premeditation,
but should such prove to be the fact,
then we again pledge our fealty and 10y
atty to our Government and Old Glory,
and trust that no. consideration will re-
strain the forcible and prompt resent
ment of such treacherous. cowardly and
horrible methods.

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
Surg. Gen. wyman Favors the CAT
fery Bill

The hearing on national quarantine
was continued this morning before the
House Committee on Interstate Com
merce.
Surgeon General Wyman was the
first witness before he committee. He
opposed the SpoOner bill and urged the
adoption Of the Caffery bill.
Quarantine regulations, he said, prop
erly belong to the Treasury Depart
ment. which should have control of ev
erything pertaining to commerce.
1t is difficult to conceive of any
emergency arising in regard to quaran-
tine that could not be handled by the
Marine Hospital Service"
DR.. Wyman also pointed out many
good features in the Hepburn bill. He
said that effective work in an epidemic
cannot be carried on without general
regulations and authoritative heads to
put them into force"
The witness cited two cases in which
the Federal Government had set aside
the State quarantine regulations.

The Missouri delegation in Congress
made record to be proud ola re-
cord on which Missouri will poll a
Democratic majority of 10000 when
ever the issues are joined.
On the question of seizing Hawaii
by joint resolution, the Democrats of
the Missouri delegation in Senate and
House went on record voting against
Imperialism. There can be no ques-
tion that they were right. The SUI
preme Court of the United States has
already passed on the policy of colonial
Imperialism and declared it unconsti-
tutional. 1t said:
There is certainly no power given
by the Constitution to the Federal gov
ernment to establish or maintain COLI
onies bordering on the United States
or at distance. TO be ruled and gov
erned at its own pleasure, nor to en-
large its territorial limits in any way.

NUMBER II.

That power is plainly given; and if a
new State is admitted, it needs no fur
ther legislation by Congress, because
the Constitution itself defines the rela-
tive rights and powers. and duties of
the State, and the citizens of the State,
and the Federal government. But no
power is given to acquire a Territory
to be held and governed permanently
in that character (Dred Scott VS.
Sanford, 19 Howard, 446.)
In opposing a bond issue. in demand
ing the coinage of silver and the issue
of treasury notes instead of bonds, in
attempting to force the plutocracy to
pay an income tax for war purposes,
and in every other way, our Missouri
delegation both in Senate and House
did the State infinite credit.
Stand by them! They have done all
men could do for the State and the
