well and told him (Powers) that
he wanted to get away from the
State house. He got a leave of
absence from Republican Assist
ant Adjutant General Nixon and
left.
He said be could not remember
that he ever heard Powers say
that he intended to harm any one.
Dick Coombs, the alleged assass-
sin, was brought to Frankfort, he
SAID, by William Culton, one OF
the defendants.
Golden said he told Judge
Fleming, of Winchester, that he
intended to tell about the affair.
While he was in Winchester he
said he was stopped by two men,
DR. Foster and William Steele,
who grabbed him by the arms
and cursed him for exposing the
Republl an party. Golden re
piled that he had not exposed the
party. GOV Brown asked him If
he made habit of saying any>
thing, to which the witness re
sponded: "Not when am on
equal terms with them"
Golden was then excused for
for few minutes owing to illness.
The witness, resuming, said that
when he heard on his way to
! Louisville with Powers, that
Gov GoebeI had been shot he told
Powers what had happened and
Powers said that it was dirty
shame aud outrage. When asked
about the man who was given the
key the morning Goebel was kill
ed, Golden said he did not know
his lame but coald recognize him
anywhere. He said he saw him
here Saturday.

Conference Report Adopted by

CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH
MADE BY SENATOR TILL
MAN.
Declares Republicans Couldn' t
Make Paris Treaty Law Till
They Bought Some Mems
Votes for 1t.

'''h) a'oII5u Ine COuIer-
ence report on the Puerto Rican
relief bill by vote of 35 to IS,
practically a strict party align
ment. No Democrat voted for
the report. But Mr.. Stewart of
Nevada voted with the Repub-
licans.
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina,
who voted for the bill as it passed
the senate, and as member of
the committee on appropriations
voted tavorably to report it,
vigorously opposed the conference
report. He particularly regretted
that the senate conferees had
yielded to enlarge the purpose of
the measure by providing "for
the aid and relief of the people"
Of Puerto Rico.
Gas long as you continue to
feed these people down there"
declared Mr.. TilIman, "you may
feed them. So long as the freed L,
mems bureau was maintained in
the south the colored race there
amounted to nothing. That S
characteristic of tho race"
In response to an inquiry from
Mr.. Spooner, Mr., Tillmau said
"l'm in favor of free trade with
Puerto Rico, | don't believe in
protecting one part of the United
States against another. That s
my position. l."
Responding to an inquiry as ts
whether he favored free trade
with the Filipinos, Mr.. Tillman
said:
"lf we are to continue to hold
the Philippines, | am in favor Of
free trade with those islands.
There is an old legal axiom a man
cannot take advantage of his
wrong. Those who voted to bring
into this country those islands with
t cir cheap contract, peon and
Malay labor were told of t2e re-
suits that would follow the rati-
hcatlon of the treaty. And YOU
could not get the votes necessary
to make that treaty law until YOU
had bought some men to vote for
1t. If it is now proposed to send
a horde of carpetbaggers over
there backed by the bayone:s of
soldiers, so long as | have a voice
| shall protest"
He charged that the recent
speech of Mr. Beveridge had IN
fused new life into the revolution
because it Indicated the hypocrisy
and double dealing which, he said,
the United States had resorted tC
IN the treatment of the Filiplnos.
Addressing the Republican side be
said, "the people will teach you
next November that trade and tn,
flag and liberty and the constitu
tion 60 together" "
4 Further along Mr.. Tillman saiC
he had asked before and wouIC
like to know now whether the
president was in favor of free
trade with Puerto Rico.

M. Foraker replied that his
position has been SEE forth fully
in the report in the Puerto Ric..n
government bill. The committee

of Puerto Rico could stand direct

Mr.. Tillman said President Nc
kinley was one of the most lovnbe
meh in public life, but lacked
back bono. MIR. Gallinger declared
that the legislation pending in the
interest of the Puerto Ricans was
right and just and generous, AMI
he was satisfied that on sober
second thought the people who
were now opposing it would hearts
ly approve of it. He said 1t was
also familiar cry that the trusts
were controlling the Republican
administration.
''rhe trust which is suffering.
continued Mr.. GaIIinger, "the
trust which we are expressing by
this legislation, is composed of
some gentleman at tho Arlington
hotel in this city, a trust headed
by the British vice consul at San
Juan That trust is suffering
considerably. Those gentlemen
bought up the sugar under the
full Dingley rates, and if they can
get it into this country free of
duty they will make the full
hundred per cent. of the tariff; {;
but if we succeed in putting a
tariff duty of Is per cent of the
DinSley rate on that sugar the
trusts profits will he cut down by
that much and the people of Puerto
Rico will benefit to that extent. "
In the course of the debate Mr.
Tillman said:

Mr. Spooner and Mr. Tillman
became involved in a heated c)n
trOversy over the terms used by
the South Carolina senator in
characterizing the work of the
Republican senator's. The dis
cusrion finally developed some re-
marks that Mr. TilIman had made
few weeks ago, in which he
justified ballot box stuffing and
the employment of the shotgun
policy against the negroes of the
south.
"We did all these things" de
clared Mr. Tillman, "and | have
no apology to make for it here or
any where else. -
