SAMOAN TREATY RATIFIED.
STRONG PROTEST. WAS ENTERED
BY SENATOR BACON.

He Held That 1t Was Contrary to the
Spirit of Our Institutions to At
tempt to Govern Any People
AGAINST Their Wishes-United
states Has Recognized Samoan
Government in Many Ways-Money
and riIImRn on the Same Line.
Washington, jan 16-The Senate to-day
ratified the Samoan treaty without divi-
sion. The ratification occurred in execu-
tive session, and after two hours debate
which was participated in by q number of
senators, principally in behalf of the
treaty, by Messrs Davis, Foraker and
Spooner and In opposition by Senators Ba-
con. Money and Tillman.
Senator Bacon made the leading speech
In opposition. He based his objection on
the general ground that 1T was contrary
to the spirit of our institutions to at
tempt to govern any people in opposition
to their wishes. He said that he was not
opposed to the new convention because
of any Partially felt for the old tripartite
agreement which IL supplants. on the
contrary, the old treaty was almost IL
not quite, as repugnant to him as the new
and he wanted TO get rid of 1t. There was
tO hOubi VI Nuc ltNGHNlOn TO annex ana
exercise sovereignty i'm place of the pro-
tectorate which was the distinguishing
feature of the tripartite agreement of 1890.
10 this proposed change of policy he OBJ
Jected most strenuously.
He compared the provisions of the two
agreements at some length, showing that
the old one made express provisions for
the approval by the Samoan government
of changes and guaranteed the independ-
ence of the Samoan government whereas
the impending instrument annuls all SOW
ereignty of the Samoan government and
partitions the islands between the United
States and Germany.
He eontended that IL was not true that
the old arrangement was simply to be
continued under a division Of authority.
and asserted that the declaration that the
Samoan people were savages was untena-
BILE.
The United States had in many ways.
he said, recognized the Samoan govern
ment, guaranteeing its independence and
making treaty of amity and friendship
with its government.
I'VE don't" he continued. make treat
les of friendship with savages."
This country had sent consul generals
there and done other acts not usual with
savages, and the consent of the natives
should therefore be obtained
In conclusion, Mr.. Bacon said he was
willing that the United States should ac-
qulre the island OF Tutuila with its Pago-
Page harbor, If that could be done In the
proper manner and without violating all
of our principles in securing control of It,
Senators Money and Tillman spoke In
practically the same line.
The friends Of the treaty repudiated the
assertion that the old treaty provisions
were annulled. They claimed that this
country. by the new arrangements re-
tains all the old advantages and avoids the
complications liable to grow out of the
tripartite agreement. They urged that
the opportunity could not be lost, both TO .
get out Of an awkward predcament ana
to control in our own right the harbor of
PagO-PagO.

washington. Jan. Ex-senator Morgan
rr,sqntel 10 the Senate to-day the unan-
,D7ou- report of the Senate Committee on
1nter-oaelnic Canals in favor of his bill
proydiug for the immediate construction

tbe appropriation of a sufficient sum of
money to carry through the great work.
The bin authorizes the President to &C

ro2 belonging 10 those countries as may

such depth and capacity as viii be suffi-
cent for The movements of ships of the
greatest tonnage and draft now I'm use,

When the President has secured full
control over this territory he shall direct
the Secretary of War TO have excavated
and constructed such canal and water
wav. and such safe and commodious har
b9rs at the termin of said canal, and
such Qualifications for defense as will be
required for the convenience and safety
of all vessels desiring the use of said ca
nal
Il is provided that in the construction of
the canal the San Juan river and Lake

be available shall be used. The bill au-
thorizes the President to guarantee to
Costa Rica and Nicaragua the use of the
canal and harbors upon such terms as
may he agreed upon for all vessels owned
by said states or by citizens thereof.
There is nothing said in the bill about
the Clayton Bulwer treaty and that doc

This prompt action by the Senate Com
mittee insuring as it probably does, ca
nal legislation at this session, is a decided
triumph for the Senator from Alabama.

suit
There is little difference between the
Senate bill of Mr.. Morgan and the bill Of
Mr. Hepburn which the House Commit

LEGISLATION on LYNcuINGs.
senator CulIOm Introduced a Petit
tion From the Negroes.

ton From the Negroes.
Washington, Jan. t6.-In the Senate to-
day Mr.. Cullom of Illinois presented pc
ttion, handsomely bound. and signed by
800 negroes, asking for stfch legislation
as will protect colored men of this coun-
try from the barbarous practice of lynch
ing and burning colored men,
Mr.. Hoar, chairman of the judiciary
Committee, said he believed every senator
would be glad 10 have such measures
adopted as would suppress this wrong do
ing and enable the officials to enforce the
laws. No senator he thought would dis
agree to that. He directed attention to
the fact that the state laws take cogniz-
zance of the crimes referred to In the pc
ttion. BY what constitutional method the
United States\ could take action in this
question was a>dldicult inquiry.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections said there
was no federal law under which the vio-
lator of even the suffrage laws could be
punished.
MIR. Spooner of WIsconsin-"There Is
such federal legislation
Mr.. Chandler-"There Is not now such
legislation. Congress has no constitutional
power TO punish such crimes"
Mr.. Cullom thought that inasmuch as
1t involved new legislation the petition
should go to the Committee on Judiciary.
This subject" Mr.. Cullom said,
Seems to call for investigation. These
people realize they are being badly treat
ed. Such treatment is without authority
of law and it ought to be stopped IL pos
sible."
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina: What
is the immediate cause of this petitlon2
Does It come from Chicago"
Mr.. Cullom replied that the petition
came from Chicago, but that it was sign
ed by people of many states.
Mr. Spooner called attention to sections
of the revised statutes which provided
penalties for violations OF federal cleo
tion laws.
Mr. Chandler said he stood corrected.
The petition was referred to the Com
mittee on judiciary.

DEPARTMENT NOT NOTIFIED.
HAS No knowledge OF Danish
Agent in This CouutrX

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE arrival at
New York of an accredited agent of the
Danish government charged with the sale
to the United States of the Danish West
Indian Islands, has not been notified to
the state department as yet except through
newspapers.
There is visible reluctance to discuss the
subject, leading to an intimation that a
free discussion al this moment might very
seriously prejudice any attempt the ad-
hinistration may have in contemplation
10 secure the assent of Congress to the
acquisition of the islands
1t is not admitted that the matter has
progressed to the point that a determine
ton has been reached to adopt the pro-
Ject, for such an admission might lead
TO disagreeabe inquiries from other ma
tons, but there is reason to believe that
the administration has given much
thought to the advisabiity of buying the
islands Then the presence in the United
States of an authorized agent of the Dam
ish government if he correctly represents
himself, is undoubtedly significant.
