In the Senate on Monday quite
an exciting scene was precipitat-
ed by a discussion of this sub
ject. Senator Platt, of Connect
icut, endeavored to defend the
administration.
Mr.. Daniel, replying to Mr..
Platt, expressed surprise at the
statements made by the Connect
icut Senator. 1t was the first
time, he said, that he had ever
heard the doctrine of the abSolu-
tism of the President of the
United States asserted on the
Senate floor. "Such a doctrine"
said he, ''shOuld not go unchal-
lenged here. The President of
the United States is given certain
specific powers under the Consti-
tuition. Beyond this his eXecu-
tive duty is to see that the laws
are faithfully executed"
sis it not simply the blossom
ing of the imperialistic tree?"
suggested Mr.. Tillman.
at is not the blOssoming of
the tree" continued Mr.. Daniel.
sit is far beyond that. 1t is the
perfection and the rotting of the
fruit. 1t will fall to the ground
of its own weight. In falling 1
trust, it will do something to re-
mind the people of the country
of the fearful preciplce on the
brink of which they are stand
ing"
Mr.. Daniel declared that no
person, be he Bey or Sultan, has
power to override definite and
recognized authority and law.
If, he maintained, in defiance of
law the President had authorized
the payment of additional sala-
ries to the army officers in Cuba,
it was an exhibition of such alb
solutism, as never had been
known in this country, and the
defense of the action by the Sen,
atOr from Connecticut was extra
Ordinery.

The Vista of Two Years.

Two years ago today Spain declared
That a state of war existed between
that kingdom and the United States.
Two years ago today, with no dreams
Of imperialism and united as in the
days of Washington, we had taken
Up arms not only to free a struggling
patton from tyranny, but to vindicate
bur honor as nation.
What have these two years brought
forth? Victory and mourning-the re-
turn of great heroes and the disbaud-
ing of armies, but not the content that
should follow peace.
On opposite sides of the world we
have acquired islands and coaling sta
tions and the care of brown peoples.
On these islands we have seen our flag
welcomed, our soldiers hailed as deliy-
erers and our country blessed as pro
hector.
We have seen the patience of these
Peoples and their faith in our honesty
gradually worn beyond endurance by
The degeneracy of the party in power.
We have seen them-already naked
aud starving-burdened with addi-
tional taxes.
We have seen established in the is
lands we assume to own a system of
tyranny and Injustice such as Spain
never dreamed Of
We have seen the dawn of imperial
1sm-the dream of government by the
few and for the few-the lust for colo
hies-the overriding of pledges, and a
financial rapacity on the part of the
administration such as would do credit
TO the old Carthaginian kings.
Was the war worth all this? Should
it not have left something nobler in its
wake than chicanery, injustice, and
AegaIized robbery? These are questions

PORTO RICO BECOMES THE
REPUBLICAN NEMESIS.
Again the Island Policy Theat-
ems to Split the Party, and
This Time the Trouble Is
Most Serious.

WASHINGTON, A pril 49," l
have ravished my conscience over
this Porto Rican business to the
limit no more ravish ment."
Representative Loud, of Cali
fornia, one of the Republican
leaders in the House, addressed
these words to the Insular Affairs
Committee today.
Disguised with his party's sub
servience to the bosses that had
decreed the enactment into law OF
the Porto Rican bill in all of its
obnoxious features, he spoke his
feelings in manner calling for
for the use of dasheS in transfer
ring them to paper.
The Senate today passed a res
olutiOn granting the President au-
thOrity to continue military Off
GERS in the performance of civil
duties beyond the date of May l.,
as asked in the message sent to
Congress yesterday.
There is trouble brewing again
over Porto Rico, as a result of the
Presidents request for authority
to prolong military rule in the is
land, that is likely to make past
Republican differences over the
same subject tame i'll comparison.
If the House stands by its In
sular Affairs Committee, which
proposes to attach some amend
mentS to the resolution which was
passed by the Senate today, there
is a pretty row in prospect. Mr..
Loud simply expressed a very
prevalent sentiment among House
Republicans.
The House InSular Affairs Com
mittee proposes, by way of amend
ment to the Senate resolution, to
place around the granting of
franchises the safeguards that,
according to growing suspicion,
were purpOsely omitted from the
civil government measure drawn
in the Senate.
The railroading of the Porto
Rico resolution through the Senate
was opposed by Senator Tillman,
who said:
"NOw, is it the purpose in hav-
ing this joint resolution passed
so hurriedly to have the military
government there continue for
the great pageant that is to come
off on the first of May, when the
Inauguration of our new govern
ment down there takes place?
"YOu have all read in the
papers that we are going to have

ever been seen in any part of the

Charter Granted To the Company
And the ORGANIZATION Completed

1t will be remembered that last week
when A. E. Stlllweli, promoter of the
proposed Kansas City Mexico & Orient
railway company was in Ell Psso, he
and w. w. Sylvester, acting with Mr..
Stillwell in the organization of the
road, were interviewed. At that time
Mr.. Sylvester declined to say that the
road If built would enter Mexico at Ell
PasO, for the reason that both stock
subscribers and engineers had to be
conferred with before the road was in
corporated and the route outlined.
Word was received here today that
charter has been granted to the
company, and that the organization
has been completed. According to the
charter. the road from Kansas City
will traverse the state of Kansas in a
southwesterly direction, thence south
erly through Oklahoma and the
Indian territory, thence south westerly
through Texas to the Rio Grande, and
continue southwesterly through the
states of chihuahua, Sonora and
Sinaloa to the port of Topolobampo on
the Pacific coast.

NUMBERING STATIONS.
Santa Fe Adopts New System For
All Departments.

The Santa Fee railway has recently
adopted a new official list of station
mum bers to be used in the baggage
departments.
Heretofore the stations were num-
bered consecutively from mum Der l, as
they were added to the map. By this
system of mum bering the stations. No.
i might be in Kansas, No. 2 in Illinois,
and No. 3 in California, etc. The
system caused some confusion.
Having all stations mum bered by
the distance they are from Q given
point does away with this trouble and
saves annoyance. This is what has
been done.
Taking Chicago as starting place,
all the stations on the main line are
numbered according to the miles they
are from Chicago. On the branch lines
that are less than q hundred miles in
length, certain number of hundred
miles is assigned and the stations
are numbered with this number plus
the amount of miles the station is from
the junction point.
The station numbers used by the bag
gag department. and those used by the
auditor of the road as the official sta
sion numbers have heretofore been diff
ferent. It ia thought that this new set
Of mum bers will be adopted by the audi
ter so as to have q uniform set of num-

And we'll serve up q dainty dish of

But we don't want to do 1t like our

Vino went q cunning for a Boer in

The last we heard from Johnnie Bull
It was rather hard to tell
Whether he would take Pretoria or
broil his beef in-Well,
We tell you, Mr.. Turkey, Uncle
Sans demands are just,
And what he says has to be done, we'll
do it or we'll bust.
So stop your lying promises aud
come right down to facts
Or you, like Spain, will get 1t where
the chicken got the AK.
There are three things the Turk
can do: destroy, and rob, and kill.
But he makes an awful racket when he
has to foot the bill.

The devil will have Turkey till he has

NdCOSdri Railroad

In an editorial the BIsbee Orb says:
A rumor industriously circulated here
of late, to the effect that the Naoossri
and Gulf railroad project had been
abandoned, upon investigation has
proven absolutely baseless. AS rumors
often are within the domain of news, it
was published as q rumor. Subsequent
information has convinced the Orb that
the story OF the Copper Queens dispos-
81 Gifts concession from the Mexican
government not only has no foundation
10 fact but that very probably 1t may
have had birth In the too busy brain of
some vicious person who might, in
some way further personal schemes by
the effect of such talk.
The preparations for resumption of
railroad construction now under way at
the thriving burg OF Naco, and the COM
plete lack of the slightest atom of
truth at the bottom of the fool report,
con yinces the Orb that 1t has been
tricked into using windy nothingness
for news.
