STEuNENBERG A WITNESS.
Governor of Idaho Tells of the Occur
d'AIene Troubles.

After presenting testimony almost I'M
interruptedly for five weeks the prosecu-
ton in the Occur d'Alene investigation
closed it's case in Washington Thursday
and the defense began the presentation
of its side. Gov. Steuenberg of Idaho
was the first witness.
The Governor said he had been i'll prior
to the Occur d'Alene excitement, and be-
ing unable to go in person, he sent a
representative, Bartlett Sinclair, to the
seat of disorder. On April 30 Sinclair
telegraphed urging that the President be
advised to rush troops from the nearest
available post. He also telegraphed that
he had thoroughly investigated the need
of martial law: that nine-tenths of the
citizens favored martial law; that the
local administration of the law was a
farce, and amounted to maladministra-
ton; that people We're afraid to testify,
and that masked men were proving
about the town terrifying people.
The Governor said he had sent dis
patch to the President calling for Fed
eral aid, as the Idaho troops were absent
in the Philippines. He then related in
detail the steps taken to carry out the
proclamation.

LOUD POSTAL BILL DEFEATED.
Receives Death Blow in House on Mo-
ton to Recommit.

Receives Death Blow in House on Mo-
ton to Recommit.
The national House for the second time
declared either that it believes the pas
sage of the Loud bill to amend the law
regulating second class mail matter will
not result in the saving of $2O,OOO,OOO
and upward annually, or that the saving,
if made, would be at the expense of the
enlightenment and information of the
people by means of the publications that
now find admission to the mails at the
rate of / cent a pound.
The bill has three times been before
the House; once, in the Fifty fourth Con
gress, it was passed; in the Fifty-hfth
Congress, and again Thursday, it was
defeated After adjournment, Mr.. Loud,
chairman Of the committee on postoffices
and post roads, said it was three times
and out as far as he is concerned. If
it be brought before the House again it
must be by some one else.
The House spent four hours in its con-
sideration. Mr.. Moon (Dem., TENN
made the principal speech against it,
and Mr.. Moody (Rep., Mass the clos
ing speech in it's favor. Two hours were
spent in amending the bin. But a mo-
ton to recommit prevailed by a vote Of
14S to SO, a much larger vote against
the measure than even its opponents had
expected.

ARE ALREADY CITIZENS.
This Is Senator Morgan's View of In
habitants of Porto Rico.


habitants of Porto Rico.
Senator Morgan, Alabama, spoke in thu
Senate the other day, dealing with some
Of the constitutional phases of the Porte
Rican Government and tariff bill. Ht
maintained that as the treaty Of Paris
was the supreme law of the land, it was
impossible for the United States to aban
don either Porto Rico or the Philippines
He held also that the constitution ex
tended, to a certain extent, at least, over
the acquired territory, and that the in
habitants of Porto Rico were citizens OF
the United States.
Comparing our authority in Cuba and
in Porto Rico, Senator Morgan declared
that resistance to American authority IN
Cuba would be as much rebellion as it is
in the Philippines. The national power
must continue to exist in all of the isl
ands until Congress should legislate in
their regard.
'"The world he declared, must be
amused at our discussion of the question
as to whether the Philippines are part
of the United States, while we are vot-
ing arms, supplies and money to suppress
the instruction of one of the many tribes
in those islands"
Senator Morgan said the question pre-
sented to the United States was four
fold:
!. Shall Congress provide civil gov
eminent for the island of Porto Rico?
2. Shall we leave the island to its pres
ent form Of government?
3. Shall we abandon it and recognize
its independence?
4. Shall we suffer it to float out among
nations as derelict, to be picked up or
captured?
Referring to Cuba, Senator Morgan
said: 1.-THE Paris treaty requires us to
occupy the island. We cannot abandon
Cuba without disgrace and without vio-
lating new pledged faith to Spain. Nor
can we abandon Porto Rico or the Phil
ippines without inviting anarchy and in
ternecine war"
The abandonment Of the islands being
impossible, as Senator Morgan construed
the treaty of Paris. it was necessary for
Congress to provide schemes of govern
ment for them. The President would
govern the islands until Congress should
otherwise provide. Inasmuch as the con-
stitution operates on all officers of the
United States to restrain them from
abuse Of control, naturally the consti-
tuition extends over Porto Rico and the
Philippines, so far, at least, as relates to
and regulates the duties of United States
officials in those islands.
Discussing the citizenship of the in
habitants of Porto Rico, Senator Nor
gan said:
1.-THE history of the country is conclu-
sive upon us in this matter. The inhab-
itants of Porto Rico ought to be given as
full citizenship as any native inhabitants
of country annexed heretofore. We have
not barred from citizenship any native
inhabitant of any territory annexed.
Those who have not chosen to retain
their former alliance have become citi-
zens Of the United States without regard
to race or any other condition. l be-
lieve if Porto Rico is foreign territory
we cannot pass laws to be enforced
there"
Concerning the tax laws of Porto Rico.
Senator Morgan maintained that Con-
gress should provide laws that should be
uniform throughout the United States
and Porto Rico

The Democratic Outlook

Since the last Presidential trial Of
strength there have been three fall cleo
tons in various States and in all Of
them an evident loss of ground for the
Bryanites. The States that have left
their column are Kansas, Washington,
South Dakota and Wyoming. Maryland
went Democratic last year, but on q
platform written by Mr.. German and
making no mention of free coinage.
Some suggest that the Democrats might
try Germans idea in the national fight
this year. 1t could only be done with
some other candidate, for Bryan and
silver are synonymous. TO drop Bryan
would cost the Democrats all the trans
Mississippi States that remain to them
and the gain in the Eastern or border
States would be predetermined. An cleo
ton practically on the German plan
was held in New York in 1898 and the
Republicans carried the State, with a
plurality for Roosevelt over Van Wyck
Of 17,7S6. The Republicans won in
New York decisively again last year
on the vote for Legislature. Though
party lines We're much broken in Ohio
last fall, the Republican plurality was
larger than usual and the Democratic
aggregate vote one of the smallest COM
paratiyely in the history of the State.
AS far as the facts of the political sit
uation are revealed the Democrats can
make nothing either with Bryan or
without him. So they are disposed to
let matters drift, knowing at least that
another defeat will lessen his superb
cial popularity. representing now, as al
ways, a great deal more noise than
votes. The Republican party holds the
vantage ground of having redeemed it's
pledges and also of having conducted
the nation through series of unexpect-
ed and serious emergencies. 1t has mo-
mentous work on hand connected with
the country's expansion, and it would
not be businesslike to turn it over to
new hands and hostile party, bent on
destroying what has been done rather
than lettering it. Possibly the Demo-
cratic national convention of 1900, like
that of 1896, may be seized with sud
den impulse and do something extraor-
binary; but no matter what ticket or
sensation is ground out at Kansas City
the electoral table gives the Democrats
no encouragement whateyer.-St. Louis

Too Much smoke for Him.

An Iowa turkey roasted on the top of
chimney, cut off the escape of the
smoke and gas and came near asphyx-
iating the occupants of the house. Mr..
Bryan has been spreading his wings
over the stacks of the New England
mills, but the volume of smoke emerg-
ing from the furnace fires is too great
to enable him even to approach the per-
