followed by Teller of Colorado.
Teller spoke in support of the reso-
iution presented by a majority OF the
committee. He said when the Mantle
had taken the same position now taken
by Spooner. He had, he said come to
recognize this question as one OF con-
stitutionaI construction. but he felt
that the Senate was under obligation
TO the people TO make such a decision
as would accord with the facts pre-
sented. In conclusion, Teller declared
his intention TO stand in this case by
the decision reached by the Senate in
the Mantle case in 1893
Allen of Nebraska maintained that
in view of precedents, which he cited,
the fact was established that after the
Legislature had been in session and
had failed TO elect, the Governor had
no right to appoint. He held that
there was no power in the Governor to
an original term. that power lying
wholly in the Legislature.
Turner of Washington followed in an
extended and carefully prepared speech
in favor of seating Corbett He said
he would vote for Corbett's admission.
although ne regretted that the appli-
cant for admission was not in his opin-
ion more nearly right in his political
views.
Turley of Tennessee, member of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
said that the views he held would COM
pei him TO support the majority of the
committee against the seating OF Cor
bett. He held that it was illegal on
the part of the Governor to fill a va
cancy at the beginning of a new term
after the Legislature had had full op-
portunity 10 fill the vacancy and had
failed to do so.
Early in the session an attempt was

tiorari. returnable within twenty days,
for the hearing of the contempt case
against Judge John D. Works, a for

Works was an attorney for the San

Torrance and Hughes of the Superior
Court Of San Diego County took as 4
reflection upon their character. 1t
charged that each was directly inter-
ested IN the suit of the water company

In 1915 seven Americans were killed
and about sixty Were wounded While
they We're being detained in the Brit

brought on by a clamor for ra:i3ns
which was resisted by the prison guard.
The United States demanded satisfac-
ton and suitable reparation, and the
British Government complied by an in
demnity for the support of the fami-
lies of those killed and wounded.
There are quite a number of recent
cases, the latest being that of the Ger

outraces committed by Chinese on Ger

German Government acquired as in

The principle of money indemnity for
the killing of foreigners has been rec
ognized in several recent cases in the
United States. One of these was the
killing of Italians at New Orleans by
mob. In that case, while the United
States die not admit the responsibility
of the Federal Government for the act
Of a mob, yet indemnity was paid out
of the Federal Treasury as matter
of international comfy and equity.
Similar action was taken in indemnify
ing China for her citizens killed at Rock
Springs. In the case of the Virginius,
large money indemnity was paid. Dc
mands by the United States are now
pending against Turkey for the burn
during the Armenian outbreak. There
are many individual claims against
Spain. Including the Ruiz case and tha.
of DR.. Delgado, now pending.
President Buchanan adopted the pro-
cedure of reprisal in 1859. This Is
measure Just short of war. Mexico was
charged at that time with asserting to

gress for authority to send a military
force to secure indemnity, as diplomatic
negotiations had failed to bring re-
dress from Mexico. This course was
adopted by Congress, and the prepara-
iians for the military reprisal soon
brought about satisfactory adjust

ALL NEWS MADE PUBLIC.
The Administration Withholding
Nothing From the People.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-H. II. Kohlsaat,
who is very close to President Mckin-
ley, publishes the following in the Chi
cago Evening Post" to-day
1T can be stated positively that
neither the President nor Secretary
Long is ir possession of a single fact
or report in regard to the Maine disas-
ter that they have not made public.
Again while they cannot confirm nor
deny the sensations stories daily pub
lished throughout the country as to the
progress of the court Of inquiry, they
know that none of the evidence nor
conclusions of the court will he made
public in advance OF the report. Every
official connected with the inquiry into
the cause of the disaster to the Maine,
from CAPTAIN Sampson down to the
divers ana linemen. is under oath Of
secrecy. For the time being the divers
are under naval discipline. When above
water each is attended by petty otli-
Ger of tha court of inquiry. The Name
itself is sacredly guarded from unofi-
cial approach
These facts account for the equa-
nimity with which the American peo-
pie read the daily sensations from Ha-
vana and the stock jobbing forebodings
of war from New York and Washing
ton.
This much is absolutely true: Pres
ident Mckinley knows nothing abolt
the wreck of the Maine or the test;-
mony as to its cause that he has not
made public. He will not withhold any
information when he gets it. He has
not come to any conclusion as to wheth-
er the disaster was accidental or de-
signed, or whether it was caused by an
| internal or external explosion. When
he receives the result of the court of
inquiry he will know the facts, which
he viii make public, with his conclu-
sions and policy"
