WASHINGTON, February 21.-The
answer of the State Department to the
House resolution calling for informa-
ton regarding certain charges made
by late Consul Macrum. was trans
mitted to the House to-day by the
President. 1t is signed by Secretary
Hay and after reciting the resolution
says:
Answering the first part of the res
olution: The department. of State has
been in regular communication by
mail and telegraph with Charles E.
Macrum, late consul of the United
States at Pretoria, South African Re-
public, since his entrance upon the
duties of the office. Communications
made to him have been answered and
the execution of instructions sent has
been reported by him. His dispatches
to the department, forwarded through
the consulate at Lourenso Marques,
have, during that time, been regularly
received. The only instance of COM
plant in respect to the transit OF the
mails for Lourenso Marques and Pre-
toria, was in November last. when a
stoppage OF the mails oc-
Cured at Cape Town against which
Mr.. Maerum and the consul at Lour-
enso Marques protested.
Arrangements We're made. for n
prompt delivery of the consular mails
10 the United States consul general at
Cape Town, by whomsthe mail for Mr..
Hollis and Mr.. Macrum was forwarded
to Lourenseo Marques. The delay last
cd but a few days. and has not re-
Cured so far as the department is adj
vised. After tLat tine the department
mail for Lou enso Marques and Pre-
toria was sent by a neutral route,
which it appears was known and open
TO Mr.. Macrum and Mr.. Hollis as early
as November 10Th, last. NO. obstacle,
therefore, is here known to have ex-
isteo since then to Mr.. Macrum's I'M
hampered correspondence with the de-
partment of state. At no time while
at his post did Mr.. Macrum report to
the department any instance OF viola
ton by opening or otherwise OF his Of
fetal mail by the British censor at
Durham or by any person or persons
whatsoever there or elsewhere. Neith-
er has he so reported since he left
Pretoria, although having the amplest
opportunity to do so by mail while on
the way home and in person when he
reported to the department upon his
return.
Answering the second part of the
aforesaid resolution the undersigned,
Secretar State, has the honor to
say ffaS there is no truth in the charge
that a secret alliance exists between
the Republic of the United States and
the Empire of Great Britain; that no
form of secret alliance is possible I'M
der the Constitution of the United
States inasmuch as treaties require the
advice and consent of the Senate; and
finally that no secret alliance, con-
vention, arrangement, or understand
ing exists between the United States
and any other nation"

HEPBURN rs PUSHING IT.
His Nicaragunn Canal Bill May Soon
Be Passed By Congress.
Says it Makes No Material Difference
Whether the Treaty is Ratified or
Net.

NEW YORK, February 21.-A spe-
says: 1t is possible that the Hepburn
N~icaraguan canal bill may be passed
by the House of Representatives, and
may even become a law. before the
Senate acts on the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. Representative Hepburn is
determined to press the bill at every
opportunity.
1t is expected that the committee
On rules will report Mr.. Hepburn,s
resolution favorably, though it is pos
sible that ONE change may be made
in the date that he has fixed for the
consideration of the bill. Nj. Hep
burn and many other OF the advocates
Of the canal bill in both houses of
Congress are in favor. of passing the
pending bill containing the authorize
ton of the fertilization of the canal,
without regard to the action of the
Senate on the pending treaty.
In speaking of this subject, Mr..
Hepburn said it would make no ma
terial difference whether the treaty
was ratified or ont. If it should be
agreed to by the Senate, and it should
be determined that the President had
no power under the treaty % fortify
the canal, he need not act under the
authority given him to erect fortifica-
lions. He thought it would be well
for Congress to give the President all
the authority that he could possibly
want.

Notifications, Admiral Dewey. Gin
Washington last night said:1
"Fortifications? Why, of course
not,nAs l understand it, the canal is
to be and should be, a neutralized
commercial pathway between the two
great oceans. To fortify it would
simply result in making it a battle
ground in case of war. Fortifcations
would be enormously expensive and
ought not to be erected. Our fleets
will be a sufficient guarantee of the
neutrality and safety of the canal in
time of war as we'll as in peace"

A Witness Tells the Congressional
Committee Of the Bull PEN, and

WASHINGTON, February 21.-The
investigation of the mining troubles
and the conduct of the United States
forces In idaho last Summer contin-
ued to-day before the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs. Frederick c.
Robertson resumed his narrative be-
gun yesterday giving the legal pro-
ceedlngs he adopted in behalf of the
imprisoned miners, and the difficulties
he claims to have encountered from the
military authorities, State officials and
the Courts. He said he vas refused
permission to be present at the inquest
of those killed during the outbreak
and was unable to communicate with
the accused miners as. to their rights,
although representatives of the min
ing company were present. He pro-
tested to the attorney general that the
miners were being denied the right OF
counsel. Throughout these proceed
ings, the witness said the military
authorities were in control of affairs
and the United States soldiers guarded
the imprisoned men, bringing them 10
and from the court.
The witness said General Merriam
was in charge of the bull pen" These
were improvised quarters as no prison
was available and consisted Of old
buildings and box cars surrounded by
a wire fence. Mr.. Robertson expressed
the opinion that the United States
forces should have been used to pre-
serve order and uphold the civil auth
critics but in fact, he declared, they
superseded the civil authorities and in
some instances, which were detailed,
arrested men in no way connected with
the outbreak. He said there were no
warrants and none of the usual forms
of law, but when a man was wanted
he was stopped on the street and sent
to the bull pen" This was done by
deputies" who acted under the State
officials and the military authorities.
The witness will proceed with his
statement tomorrow.
Messrs. Morrison and Furuseth, OF
of the American Federation of Labor,
were present during the hearing to-day
and President Gompers is expected to
attend when he arrives.
