WARMERS BITTER TONE
A Speech in Which the Administra-
tion Is Vigorously Scored.
Former New York Congressman De-
claims Against the Protection Af-
forded Captain Carter, Eagan. and
Alser-Criticises the Appointment
of ''Sons of SOmebOdiesn to ONCE.

New York, July 5.-Former Representa-
tive John De Witt. Warner addressed the
members OF the Brooklyn Democratic Club
last night, and bitterly araigned President
Mckinley, for protecting Captain Carter,
the alleged army embezzler. and for har-
boring General Eagan and Secretary Al
ger. He said in part: !.
'Infamy after infamy has been offered
us by the Hanna syndicate which trans
acts business in the name Of Mckinley,
till the question has become one OF limit,
net to its enffrontery, bat to our endurance.
Driven by popular impulse into a war
for humanity which long since ended, how
has it upheld the honor of the army thus
brought into prominence? We had a
prominent officer convicted by court mar
tial of embezzlement OF Government funds,
but for year now the Presidential toga
has protected him from punishment and
continued him as the intolerable associate
Of officers and gentlemen.
Then came Eagan, the tool OF his big
gers, If not of his betters, sentenced to dis
missai for blackguardism, but by the Pres
ident's order rewarded instead of punish
ed. Then, first OF all and last Of all, we
have the Secretary OF War; apparently
chosen on his record for getting to Wash
ington and sticking there thirty-fve years
ago, when he was wanted at the front. and
vindicating in office nothing SO well as his
adhesiveness, filling his department with
the jobs Of his friends, until the air is
crowded by the ghosts Of those who died
that contractors might profit, and the
breezes SO foul with scandal that with
| Carter. Eagan. and Alger the United States
has become the only nation that France
| can still look in the face
How have the results of the war been
handled? Six weary months ago. Mr.. Nc
kiEley tore our own Declaration of Inde-
pendenee to shreds and flung them in the
face of friendly people, fighting for free
dom. who had welcomed us as allies. only,
after victory, to be ordered to accept us
as new masters"
Mr.. Warner said that 1t was pitiful to
see the sons Of somebodies'' made officers
over competent men in the service, and
the flower of our youth Ole as a result OF
| their Incompetence
Mr. Warmers speech received marked
attention, owing to his prominence In the
DeRnocratic fight against Bryan in 1896 Mr..

Clash Between the Golf Club and thu
Hotel prOprietOrs.

Cape May N. j.. July 5.-A social war is
being waged at this resort between the
Cape May Golf Club and the hotel pro-
prietors. The trouble originated over the
refusal of the club to permit the guests
at the hotels the use of the links during
their stay at the resort. Members of the
club used to extend the courtesy to some
of the visitors, but the number Of appli-
cants for the favor increased so rapidly
that the club put stop to it entirely.
In retaliation the hotel proprietors re-
solved 10 refuse the cottagers admittance
TO the balls and other entertainments for
which the resort is noted. The Stockton
Hotel. the Lafayette, and Congress Hall
are houses around which much Of the So
cial life revolves during the season. Pro-
prietors OF these hotels say that unless
their guests are given the privileges OF US
ing the links. every cottager will be COM
PEELED to pay an admittanee fee for himself
and every member Of his family to social
affairs at the hotel. t-'W ise-''-
1t is believed that the members OF the
club will give in. as, should they SO de-
SIRE the hotel men could prevent them
from participating in the social events OF
the summer.
