Senator Morgan.

The Democracy OF Alabama are TO be
heartily congratulated On their good sense
and patriotism in according to the Hon.
John I. Morgan, senior Senator from that
State, the ringing endorserlen at the pri-
maries which guarantees his reelection
at the next session of the Legislature. In
honoring General Morgan the Alabama
Democrats honor themselves. 1t is not
too much to say that for craftsmanship,
greatness as constitutional and an in
ternational lawyer, and for that courage
OF his convictions which sometimes causes
man to ignore party in the presence OF
a higher duty to country. he towers above
not only his brother Democrats in the
Senate, but all others within it.
Neither party nor nation could well af-
ford to lose Senator Morgan's services in
his present capacity. He is man of re-
nown in every civilized land under the
sun. His ability, experience. and achieve
ments as an arbitrator of grave interna-
tional questions and as a constructive
statesman in the formulation of govern
mental systems for new American terri
tory, and his frank straightforwardness as
an advocate or opponent OF proposed leg
isiation in Congress, have combined 10
render him one of the foremost figures in
the higher political life of the generation.
Indeed, he is one Of the very few men now
in the Senate who would have been at all
conspicuous in that body if he had been a
member of it in the great days of Webster,
Clay, Calhoun, Seward, and Cass.
We are not always in exact agreement
with the views and expressions OF Senator
Morgan; but that is mere incident It |
does not in the least detract from the sin
cere admiration We feel, and always have |
felt, for the sturdy old Roman, who be- |
iieves in and fearlessiy eXpounds the I
sound. brave Jelfersonian doctrine of ma
tional expansion under the Constitution. !
II his fellow citizens of Alabama realize, |
as We do. that in his person they are rep /
resented by not only one Of the greatest |
sons their Commonwealth has ever pro- |
duced. but one of the greatest ever born |
to any State, they viii know that, in dis /
coantenancing untimely and regrettable |
opposition to his reelection they have |
done wise. a manly, and thoroughly |
patriotic thing. and one for which the |
whole country will applaud them

CLAIMs OF AMERICANS.
Reports OF Alleged iii Treatment in
the rrnnsyaai.

i8t irhnsNaai.
The President yesterday transmitted t.
Congress the correspondence between the
officials Of the State Department. in regard
to the treatment of American residents in
the South African Republic from January /,
1889. to the present time. The only COM
plant within the meaning of the House
resolution calling for this information
which has been flied directly with the
State Department, according TO Mr.. Hay, is
that of e. l.. Brown. en- July 10. 1893, who
preferred a claim on that date against the
South African Republic for SSl2, 2S4, be-
cause of an alleged Illegal refusal to renew
a mining lease
Among the correspondence transmitted
is letter from Consul Macrum to AS
sistant Secretary Hill stating that DR..
II. A. Soeser Of Johannesburg. called at
the consulate and complained that he could
not get a certificate to practice medicine.
as the authorities would not take his New
York license under consideration. The
authorities refused to consider the case.
4 cablegram from Macrum to Secretary
Hay, dated August 81, 1899, stated that
American citizens had protested against
Article LXXIN of the Boer constitution,
which provides that all inhabitants may
be pressed into service to assist in main
tanning the Republic. To this Mr.. Adee,
Acting Secretary. on August %, 1899. re-
piled authorizing Macrum to protest to
the Boer Government against the impress
ment OF American citizens in case it be-
came necessary. against any civilized pow
err unless the citizens exercised political
obligations toward the Government i'm
pressing them. Mr.. Macrum, under date
of August %. forwarded a publication of
that date from COmmandant General Jou-
bert to all commandments, field comets,
etc. which forbids them to interfere W.
the privileges of aliens or to impress them
into service in case of war.
letter from Macrum is accompanied
by an affidavit of Nelson Thompson in
which Thompson says he was born in
Spokane March S, 1866. He claims to have
been arrested by mounted police on Octo-
Der So 1897. without any warrant. He
says he was tried for highway robbery
after being imprisoned six months, and
was sentenced to hard labor for eighteen
months. After serving seven months he
was released by order OF the executive
council He asks damages to the amount
of 5000.
Macrum made complaint to the auth orl-
ties of the South African Republic which
brought a reply stating in substance that
Captain Nelson" alias Thompson. and
his friends were known as bandits and
the authorities did not feel justified in
paying damages. The charges are denied
by Thompson, who referred Macrum to the
principal men in BulawayO.
The complaint from Joseph ]. Gezzam
says an attempt was made to force him into
the service of the South African Republic.
The Government made an investigation
and attributed Gazzam's trouble to the
OF field cornet, who tried to
enlist him.

as a sacrifice to the offended gods of in
ternational relations.
But there are some mistakes which are
a little worse than crimes, and this was
one of them. 1t was simply one more in
stance of the faculty which Chicago shows
for getting into trouble with both feet at
once. II is almost incredible that anyone
should not have seen instantaneously the
amazing blunder Of inviting the represent
alive OF Spain in this country TO come and
help celebrate the very recent defeat of
his own nation. and the slaughter of his
eountrymen. The thing is so preposterous
that it ought TO be evident to any boy big
enough to indulge in a rough and tumble
tight with another boy But If the average
clerk in Chicago is really not capable of
seeing the absurdity of proposition of
this kind, some responsible person should
have been entrusted with the task of pre-
pairing the list of invited guests, especially
those chosen from diplomatic circles. 1t
looks as if somebody besides the cleril lad

DISAGREE WITH GATES.
Other MnSnntcs- Say the Steel Bust
ness Is Good.

NEW YORK. April 17.-If John w.
Gates, Chairman of the American Steel
and Wire Company, continues to think the
steel business in this country is in a bad
way. his opinion may get lonesome for
lack Of company. In spite of all Mr. Gates
said On Monday, and in the face of the
closing OF twelve out of thirty-one mills
controlled by his company, all the other
steel and iron magnates here refused to be
persuaded that there was anything the
matter with the business. An officer of
one OF the largest steel companies in this
country said:
THE American Steel and Wire Company
has been holding its products. and especial
ly rods and billets. for some time at such
price that nobody could afford to buy them
The result has been that the companys
stool; has piled up In their mills all over
the country. The closing of these mills will
not be followed by reduction in the price
of raw material il that was the idea. The
condition OF the steel trade today is just
as good as it has been for months. and that
is better than it ever was before in the
history OF the world
