ADMINISTRATION
Senator Foraker Makes
Explanation.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Senate
listened further to-day to discussion of
the policy of expansion. Turner Of
Washington delivered a carefully pre-
pared speech on the Vest resolution.
The speech was for the most part a
constitutional argument, in which Tur-
ner took issue with Senator Plat and
Senator Foraker upon their recent ut
terances.
At the conclusion Of Turner's address
Foraker took some sharp exceptions to
statements made in the speech, espe-
cially those referring to him person
ally. He explained at length the ma
ture of his statements, declaring that
he had spoken only for himself and
had had no intention or desire to pose
as the representatives of the admins
tration.
The Nicaragua canal bill was under
consideration nearly three hours. AZ

He had Just come down into the office
Of the Golden Eagle from Mr.. Grants
headquarters, where for three-quarters of
an hour he had been in red hot caucus
with twenty-three others Of the Grant
faction. That caucus was the crucial test
of the Grant strength. and, thanks to such
a combination of unClean circumstances as
probably no other candidate to the United
States Senate has ever faced, he will be
able to control his strength for an in
definite period, and by the decision of to-
deadlock is practically assured.

Grants forces have been on the brink of

his meager bunch of votes would have
been snapped ere this If it could have been
decided into whose outspread toga the
votes should fall. Yesterday the defec-
ton was so near at hand that Bulla had
credited himself with seven Grant scalps,

CHAIRMAN COSPER
GETS CAUGHT
Continued from First Page.

Charles Lamberson, the chairman of
the Republican Committee of Tulare
County, came to the rooms of Mr..
Green and Mr.. Grant in the Golden
Eagle Hotel and requested a private
interview. That interview he secured.
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Henderson were
in consultation for quite time. Mr..
Lamberson informed Mr.. Green that
his friend, Assemblyman Cosper, had
told him that he (Cosper) had been
offered a $4,000 gift to vote for Colonel
Burns, and Cosper told him that he did
not feel as though he could vote for
Burns, but If he voted for Grant he
thought he should receive like con-
sideration.
Mr. Lamberson told his story, and 1t
is related that Mr.. Green in q rather
forcible way informed Mr.. Henderson
that he (Green) was not bribing any
legislators to vote for any man for
Senator, and then Mr.. Lamberson,
without further suggesting anything,
withdrew.
On Sunday last Assemblyman Cosper
stated that he believed that it was his
friend Mr.. Lamberson who had put this
story in circulation, for he knew posi-
lively of one man he had told 1t to.
But when Mr.. CoSper was interviewed
by a reporter of The Call on Sunday
last and asked as to the truth of the
Mr.. Lamberson of telling it. In fact he
denied absolutely that he had ever
heard of it until the reporter detailed
it to him.
Mr.. Cosper must have known Of the
story at that time for a short time
thereafter he accused Mr.. Lamberson
of telling it. The Call reporter never
mentioned on Sunday the name of Mr..
Lamberson to him. In fact, the re-
porter did not know that Lamberson
had ever made any appeal to Mr.. Green
in behalf Of Mr. Cosper and therefore
never used his name in the Sunday in
terview with Cosper. Thus 1t would
seem that when Mr. Cosper informed
The Call representative on Sunday that
he was entirely ignorant of the story
afioat that a man had gone to Mr.
Green and claimed that he (Cosper)
had been offered $4,000 to vote for Burns
and that If he voted for Grant he
thought he ought to receive similar
consideration he forgot Charles Lam
berson and the story he was telling to
that effect.

CANAL RIGHTS
ARE CONSIDERED
Maritime People Before
the Committee.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Mari
time Canal Company. representing the
old concession for building the Mica
ragua canal, had a hearing to-day be-
fore the Commerce Committee of the
House. The Maritime Company was
represented by it's president, Hiram
Hitchcock; the president of the con-
struction company, ]. W. Miller, and
the solicitor of the company, A. T.
Mason. Professor Haupt, one of the
Nicaragua Canal Commission, was
present to discuss engineering fea-
lures involved, and Hon. Warner Mil
Ter, former president Of the Maritime
Canal Company, was also present.
President Hitchcock took up the or
ganization of the Cragin-Grace Syndi-
cate and stated that his understanding
was that, owing to discouragements,
the syndicate had dissolved prior to the
time when the contract for the cences-
sion was secured. He declared that
the last concession was in violation of
the rights and interests of the Maritime
Company and of the United States Gov
eminent
Stewart asked Hitchcock if the COM
pany had gone into this plan with a
view of unloading it on the Govern
ment.
Hitchcock answered positively in the
negative. There had never been such
a purpose, he said. The finances of the
company and the amount of cash it had
actually spent was inquired into mi
nutely by members of the committee;
also the relations between the Mari
time Company and the construction
company. The latter had spent some
thing over $4,000,000 and the Maritime
Company something over $1,000 900, out
side Of certain stock and bond trans
fers.
Hitchcock said If the Government
took up the work he believed the COM
as were outstanding, except that held
by Nicaragua and Costa Rica-
What do you think of the Panama
canal in it's effect on your canal?'
Hitchcock was asked.
at am told by eminent engineers who
have examined the subject that it will
cost $4O0, 900, 900 to complete the Panama
canal" he said, land when it is COM
pleted 1t will be imperative, for the
reason that it will be impossible in
certain seasons to control the summit
level and operate the locks.
Professor Haupt said the essential
point was to secure immediate action
under existing concessions, in order to
avoid dangerous complications which
would postpone and possibly defeat the
entire canal project. He said the
Panama canal could be completed if
enough money were furnished. But he
said it made a route $50 miles longer
between the northern terminals and
the amount of canal work was double
that of the Nicaraguan route.
Mason, attorney for the company,
gave the legal phases, arguing that the
present concession was in full force.

to arrest and imprison any one at

GERMAN PRESS
MUCH ALARMED

, BERLIN, Jan. 19.-The news
, from Samoa has been received
, with forebodings.
The Lokal Anzeiger says: "All
this doubtless signifies an ap-
? probable quarrel, and with the
unceremonious course which the
, Americans have affected toward
: us it may easily take a serious
, turn. The Samoa co-dominion
? has always involved a lurking
? danger"
, The Vossische Zeitung says:
1.-THE situation will become even
graver when the American war
; ship arrives at Apia. 1t is said
; that the Washington Department
? of State has instructed the
, United States Consul General
, there, L. w. Osborn, not to- trust
? the German Consul. Evidently
, the United States, who are least
: interested in Samoa among the
three powers, do not mean to re-
; spect Germany's paramount in
, terests Germany will have to
, show firmness, all the more so as
? our position is made worse by
; the evident desire of England to
? help the United States, so as to
, retain the Iatter's friendship"

the Herald telegraphs: Unless
Germany promptly disavows the
action of her Consul at Apia
there is reason to believe that
joint note will be presented her
by the American and British
Governments requesting such
disavowal. 1t was expected,
when Freiherr Spreck Won Stur
burg, secretary of the German
Embassy, called upon Assistant
Secretary Hill at the State De
partment to-day, that he had
come authorized to make a sub
stantial disavowal of the German
Consul's act, but his call was, |
am told, merely one of inquiry.
ambassador Pauncefote also
called at the department, but the
officials are reticent in regard to
what passed between him and
Secretary Hay. l understand,
however, that the American and
British consular representatives
in Apia will continue to act to-
gether. | hear, on the authority
of a diplomatist here, that the
three powers are acting in har-
mony in Samoa, and that if the
German Consul has acted in the
manner indicated his action will
be promptly disavowed.
1t was learned to-day that
about a month ago, anticipating
trouble, Germany directed its
representatives here to request
the State Department to issue in
structions to the American Of
ficer in Apia to cooperate with
the German and British Consuls
in preserving the peace. The re-
quest was complied with. was
told at the German Embassy that
nothing had been received re-
garding matters in Samoa, but it
is denied positively that the Ger
man Government is endeavoring
to stir up trouble. | understand
that the German Government,
some months ago, agreed to the
removal of Herr Raffall, German
President of the Municipal Coun-
Gil of Apia, upon the representa-
ton of this Government, and last
November instructions were sent
to him from Berlin directing him
to leave Apia. How he happens
to be mixed up in the rebellion is
a question which the German
Government is expected to ex-
plain.
Before making any representa-
tons to the Berlin Government
Secretary Hay has cabled the
American Consul at Auckland in
structing him to communicate at
once with Consul General Os-
born at Apia and direct that Of
fcer to make a full statement Of
the situation, with such facts
bearing upon the course pursued
by the German Consul as he may
deem important.
Secretary Hay received a dis
patch to-day from Consul Gen
eral Osborn. 1t announced that
the decision of the Justice in
favor of Malietoa Tanua had
caused the adherents of Mataafa
to rise IN rebellion, and that the
formers forces had been defeat
ed. 1t is also stated that the
three Consuls had signed pro-
clamation recognizing the Ma
taafa party's provisional govern
ment pending instructions from
their Governments. This action
on the part of the American rep
resentative will be disavowed by
this Government. Protests have
been made by the British and
American Consuls at the action
of the German Consul in violat-
ing the Berlin act.
The dispatch also related to
the hostile attitude of the Ger
man Consul, and this information
caused great deal of apprehen-

SANTA FE SCHEME
Proposal Now To Get Share OF
Mexican Coast Trade.

Advices from San Francisco say
Santa Fe people have traffic arrange
ment with the Kosmos Steamship com
paoy, German organization. The
steamshi p company is to deliver to the
Santa Fe, at San Diego, products of
Mexico, Central America and South
America, destined to points in this
country especially those west of
Chicago and St. Louis. In return
the Santa F'e will deliver to it under
an agreed through rate, American pro-
ducts destined to Pacific ports and
various countries affected.
The arrangement strengthens the
Kosmos company as a competitor of the

trance of the Santa Fe into Mexico,
Central America and South American
fields of trade as competitor with the
