Mr.. Berry, were met by the objection
that they were aiding those who were
in arms against the United States, and
were responsible for the loss Of life
among our soldiers. He regarded this
position as absolutely unwarranted.
The Bevcridge resolution has been en-
dorsed by the administration leaders,
yet 1t conferred an authority and O.
power upon this country as absolute as
was possessed by the Car of Russia.
THE CONSTITUTION VIOLATED.
What is Imperialism, Mr.. Berry
asked. If 1t be not the assertion of such
power as is asserted by the rcsolu-
tons of Mr.. Beveridge? He declared
his unalterable opposition to such a
declaration. and believed the people of
the United States would not approve
so plain violation of the Constitu.
ton.
TRUSTEES OF THE LORD.
Mr.. Berry did not admit that the
American people were the trustees Of
the Lord in the appointed work of
civilizing the Philippines. He said that
when men asserted that they were the
trustees OF the Lord he wanted some
more substantial proof of the assertion
than their own word. and such trus-
teeship ultimately would destroy the
founda lions of the government. He
argued In favor OF the Bacon resolu-
ton, and said IL that were adopted to-
day. not another gun would be fired
in the Philippine revolution, and all the
material advantages sought by Mr..
Reveridge would be gained

been fired and not drop of our SOL
diers' blood would have been shed. He
said that, in his opinion, the President
had issued that proclamation unwill-
ingly; that he had been forced into
that position he now occupied by
scheming politicians. The wrong could
be repaired by the adoption of the
Bacon resolutions

the Police Court against persons who fail

first report delinquents to the precinct

Of warrants. The offenders against the

The effect is said to have been most
salutary. as the delinquents this year

The President Has a Conference With
Rear Admiral Walker.


Rear Admiral Walker. President Of the
Isthmian Canal Commission. called at the
White House today TO say good-by to the
President before leaving Washington to
look over the proposed route OF the canal.
Admiral Walker stated that the Commits
sion hoped to leave New York for Greytown
on the Isthmus on Saturday. and that they
would at once begin work going over the
proposed routes of the canal. The Presi-
dent is greatly interested in the proposed
canal and Admiral Walker spent some time
in talking over the plans Of the Commits
sion with him.
General Ernst and other officers Of the
Commission visited Paris last summer and
obtained valuable data in regard to the
proposed French canal which will be OF
great assistance to them in their work.
Admiral Walker said that they would in
spect several routes and verify the work
done by the old Nicaragua Canal Commits
sion. He thought that the work would re-
Quire three or four months and that they
would then be ready 70 make formal re-
port 10 fne President of the most praetiea-

LONDON. Jan. 2.-Despatches we're re-
ceived at the War Omce last night bring
ing a confirmation Of the report OF General
French's success at CoIesberg. Details Of
the operations by the British forces are
also reported. A statement is made from
the War once this morning that the Eng
lish position cuts off the line Of retreat Of
some thousands Of Beers, who with two
guns are reported 10 be returning to No
walls Pont.
Additional details Of General French's
engagement as received et the War Office
are as follows:
The British suns opened Immediately
upon the extreme right Of the Beers who
quickly replied. We were near enough TO
see that the Beers were using British if
teen-pounder field pieces. An inspection
of their shells shows that they were man
ufactured in the Royal Laboratory at
Woolwich. The aim Of the Beers was poor
and after three hours all their guns were
out Of action.
''Meauvhfe the cavalry and horse art.l-
lery worked around TO the north OF the
Boer position and poured in heavy emf
lading shell fire. The Beers became dis
organized and we're soon in full flight. Our
loss was three killed and seven wounded.
We viii march into Colesberg tomorrow" ."
The public as well as the government are
inclined to consider the success Of General
FreLyh as only a forerunner Of a more
general advance upon the Beers within a
very brief period Il is argued by military
experts that the generals in South Africa
are alive to the necessity OF keeping the
TrarsvaaI forces at other work than that
OF constructing fortifcations
