sions to-day, but both were largely exc
cutive, considering the coming report to
the president.
DR.. d. o. Salmon, chief of the bureau
OF animal industry; agricultural de-
partment, appeared before the commas
sion at its afternoon session. DIR. DON
ner led in questioning the witness DR..
Salmon explained the system of meat
inspection conducted by the depart
ment. The agricultural department
had recommended that none but in
spected meat be purchased for the army
during the war with Spain. He under
stood that orders had been issued that
such course should be followed, ex-
cept In emergency. Inspectors OF the
department, he said, have access to all
parts of the packing houses No re-
ports ever had been made that meat at
those places was treated chemically.
The witness declined to answer several
questions in regard to acids said to have
been used in preserving beef, saying
that he was not chemist, and did not
consider himself an expert in such mat

country from such an institution. Wha

quired.
we are already told" he continued
that the expansionists desire to par
ticlpate IN the Partition Of China wher
that snail come and the indications were
that this country was to go on and &C
quire still other territory which in the
nature of things would have to be
denied"
AT this point colloquy occurred
which was participated in by Mr.. Mason
OF Illinois, Mr.. Teller of Colorado and
| Mr. White.
Mr.. Mason inquired if territory whose
inhabitants had to be forced into sub
mission dld not always require an I'M
| mense force to keep the people in sSb-
| lection. Mr.. White did not desire evil
IDENTIFY to commit himself to Mr.. Mason's
position, but Mr.. Teller rose and pointed
out that the people of New Mexico, Ari-
iona and California had been forced at
| the point of guns into submission and
that their consent primarily had not
been secured.
Yes" replied Mr.. Mason, but that
| country was acquired by treaty"
1T is by treaty that we propose to ac-
quire the Philippines retorted Mr..
Teller.
Mr.. Mason-By treaty with people
who have no more right to cede the ter
ritory than the devil had to offer to
the Savior all the land in sight of the
mountain height. He did not possess
even tax title to it,
Mr.. Teller said that the government
could ratlty the treaty and then turn
the islands over to whomever it pleased
within an hour. He called attention 10
the fact that the treaty gave to con-
gress full power to deal with the matter.
Mr.. White, after adverting to some of
the remarks made by Mr.. Teller GIN
tended that it was the duty of this
country to make declaration of inten-
ton with respect to the Philippines.
Congress possessed the authority to
make such a declaration in advance of
it's action on the treaty and it would be
proper to make it.
Il say said Mr. White, that if all
the declarations We have heard regard
ing the holding Of the islands are IN
good faith and if the Philippines and
Cuba are to be treated alike, the record
ought to show It,"
In conclusion, MIR. White said: TT
is in the hope that we may preserve
forever stainless in it's purity and I'M
conquerable in it's integrity the repub-
lie of our fathers that l register here
my protest against what | conceive to
be disastrous innovation"

ton of Mr.. Davis, chairman of the COM

Carson, New. Jan. 23.--To-day's lesis-
lative session developed a lively scrim-
mage over the senatorial rivalry of
Senator Stewart and Congressman
Newlands. A petition was presented in
the assembly from some of the citizens
of Lyon county denouncing Stewart
and asking the assemblymen to vote for
Newlands. Speaker Allen ruled the pc
tition out of order. An appeal was
taken from the decision of the chair.
IA voting aye and IA voting no, one alb
sentee. Although this was regarded as
a test vote, Senator Stewart predicts
his election ON the first ballot. New
lands supporters say that if he is not
elected at least Stewart can never win,
The other candidates are hoping for a
deadlock The senatorial vote will be
taken Tomorrow

Quay Is Still Short.

Sacramento. Cal, Jan. 23.-The sena.
torial situation remains unchanged
But one ballot was taken to-day, which
resulted the same as the one taken or
Saturday.
When the work of the special COM
mittee on investigation into the sena-
torial scandal was resumed to-day,
[ Dan Cole, coiner of the San Francisco
I mint, testified that he had received $500
! from Milton J. Green, Grants political
manager, which had been turned over
to Assemblyman Jilson to be used by
Jilson in his political canvass. Assem-
i blyrnan Belshaw testified that Assem-
/ blyman Dale had told him that $4,000
had been offered for second choice
, votes for Bulla. Dale afterward prac-
tfcally changed this to the story that
$4,000 had been offered to win votes from
Grant. Dale was wanted as a witness,
but sent word that he was too i'll to
appear before the committee.
e. E. Preston testified that he had
been told by Police Commissioner
Gunst of San Francisco that Dan NJ
Burns had put $4,000 into the sena-
torial fight. Gunst testified that he re-
membered the conversation had with
Preston, but had said nothing about
$4,000. He stated that he had told
Preston that Burns had given $4,000
or $4,000 to the republican campaign
committee.
William Herrin, attorney for the
Southern Pacific company, testified
that the Southern Pacific company had
nothing to do with the senatorial fight.
Individual members of the company
had made personal subscriptions to the
regular campaign fund, but that the
company mad subscribed nothing and
took no particular interest in the cam
paign. No passes had been given 1egis-
lators to influence votes for the United
States senator by himself and he had
every reason to believe that none had
been given by the company.
Mayor Frank Mclaughlin, chairman
of the republican state central commit
tee, testified that he could not tell the
exact amount that Dan Burns had sub
scribed to the campaign fund.- but it
was a generous subscription. 1t had
been subscribed for the benefit of the
whole ticket and had been so expended.
1t was not used in the legislative fight
alone.
Daniel M. Burns was called to the
stand. He stated that he had not been
a candidate for the United States sena-
torship until the day after Christmas.
He had subscribed money to the regu-
lar campaign fund; but had assisted
no assemblyman or senator to make his
canvass.
y. S. Grant, jr., took the stand after
Burns He admitted having Milton j.
Green as a sort of political manager.
He had supplied Green with money to
be expended in a legitimate way to Sc
cure the election of a republican legis-
lature. Green made no accounting to
him, but would do SO when the cam
pa1gn was over. He admitted having
advanced money to Speaker Wright.
The examination of witnesses goes on
Tomorrow.

ANGLO-FRENCH RELATIONS.
Clear Understanding With England De-
sired by the Government,

Paris, Jan. 23.-M. d'Estournels Con-
slant. republican, former counsellor Of
the French embassy at London. in the
chamber of deputies to-day raised the
question of Anglo-French relations. He
reviewed the Fashoda question, pro-
nounced himself in opposition to the
colonial megatomania criticised the
policy of the government and asked If
they were at the beginning or the end
of difficulties with Great Britain, with
which country he urged a cordial I'M
derstanding.
Denis, radical republican, and Cochin
spoke on the subject in a concilatory
strain, urging friendly negotiations for
peaceful settlement OF the dispute
with Great Britain. Former Premier
Ribot made speech criticising many
OF Great Rritain's pretensions, espe-
c1ally in regard to Egypt and NADIA
gascar, but at the same time upholding
che necessity of an understanding be-
tween France and Great Britain. In so
doing he pointed out that the dreibund
has been weakened by the Franco
Italian approachment and the Russian
Austrian entente. France he added.
only desired the peace Of Europe, and
to that end Frenchmen ought to forget
their internal discussions and think
more of France.
The minister of foreign affairs. NJ
Delcasse, ascending the tribune said
his policy has been directed toward
conserving the permanent general in
terests of France. He recalled the role
of France during the Disappointment
can war, and said the appeal addressed
to France by zone of the two nations
with which he had equally cordial re-
lations," was all to the honor of France,
and the government could not refuse
it's assistance, knowing chat it would
not be misunderstood by our friends in
America"
The result. he added, was "a moral
advantage for France which no one
failed to understand" Referring to the
cars disarmament proposals, the min
lister said Frances whole sympathies
supported them, for two reasons-the
good of humanity and respect for the
nation with which her friendship was
never more complete than now
The foreign minister said in conclu-
sion: Trance is always ready to ne
gotiate, being conscious of her rights.
Great changes are preparing through
out the world and therefore it is neces-
sary to walk prudently. To complete
our task in a dignified manner, the full
support of the chamber is necessary"
The house then adjourned.

Spotted Hawks counsel. Chief anonp
the contended errors was the failure of

Justice Hunt, writing the opinion In

Which he had not paid the taxes, hut

AN ADROlT DODGER.
The Charge Brought Against Quay by the
Men Who Are Fighting Him.

Men Who Are Fighting Him.
| Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. GA statement
was issued tonight by the steering
| committee of the anti-Quay organiza-
| ton, in part, as follows:
I'VE. the undersigned, a committee
| representing and acting for and by au-
thority of the anti-Quay republican
| members of the legislature. hereby, en-
ter our protest against the unwarrant-
ed and unusual attempted interference
of the chief executive of our state with
the members of the legislature for the
purpose of influencing their votes for
the election of NJ. s. Quay to the United
States senate.
we regard the open letter of Cover
nor Stone. published by the press this
morning, as an improper interference
by the executive branch of the govern
lnent with the rights and duties of the
legislative department of the common
wealth."
The statement then recites the alleged
efforts of Senator Quay to evade trial
on the conspiracy charges against him
and, continuing, says:
While the proceedings were to be ar
gued IN the supreme court on the It'll
of January. Mr.. Quay attempted to
force caucus on the Sd day of January,
eight hours after the organization of the
legislature. This monstrous PROPOSE
ton wiped aside all precedents, and we
declined to vote for M. S. Quay until
he had been acquitted of the criminal
charges which he had adroitly lodged.
Notwithstanding the above. the COVER
nor of this commonwealth brushes aside
the court and jury and all the criminal
charges in the cases. and upon the
naked statement of d. T. Watson, the
paid attorney of M. s. Quay, declares
Mr.. Quay innocent and the victim of
persecution.
The governor urges the election of
Mr.. Quay on the score of party regu-
larity, while he, as well as others, know,
that Mr.. Quay cannot be elected by the
republican party. and that Mr.. QUAY
and his lieutenants are soliciting demo-
cratic votes as the only means of re-
electing him to the United States senate.
For these reasons we do most en-
phaically dissent from the sentiments
expressed in the open letter of the gov
ernor. believing that nine-tenths of the
people of the state agree with us and
indorse our action"
