COULD NOT FoREsEE THE RUsE.
Gov. Tyler Makes n Statement as to
the Iynchfng at EmpOria.


Richmond, Va, March 26.-Gov. Tyler
makes a statement tonight regarding his
action in withdrawing the troops from
Emporia, where the double lynching oc-
Cured Saturday morning.
After declaring that the criticisms that
have been leveled against him is unjust,
giving some of the kilograms sent to him
by Maj. Cutchins, in charge of the mill
tary. and citing the law, he says among
other things:
Maj. Cutchns had his opinion that
trouble would follow. had my fears and
suspicious, but the civil authorities diff
fered with us, and they were the parties
responsible and their people the ones di-
rectly affected. | sent a telegram to Mai.
Cutchins which it was intended that he
should show to the sheriff, and in II I
warned the sheriff that the sole RESPONSE
bility was on him. When l did this | felt
sure he would realize his responsibility
and if he felt there was risk in sending
the troops away that he would counter
mand his order and that then during the
day | could send more troops.
How could / have foreseen that It was
all a ruse 10 get the soldiers away? They
must have deceived the Judge, who. IL
seemed to me- was faithfully trying TO do
his lutN. NO, IL uiluGI inc iEuillStiittS
/ had declared martial law. and other good
lives had been sacrificed, / would have been
very much more criticised and justly,
than for the course / pursued had no
inHmation that the sheriff was intoXlcaJ-
ed or that he was other than competent
officer. Law and order, of course, must
be preserved, but it must be done in an or
derby and lawful manner"
The Governor contends that he acted
entirely within the law, and in conclu-
sion bestows the highest praise upon Maj.
Cutchins and the men under him.

HOUSE DEBATING ARMY BILL.
THE INCREASED APPROPRIATION
MEETS OPPOSITION.

Measure Carries Sill 600, 364-Jett of
Illinois Opposed the RAND Promo
ton and Retirement of Army OH
cers-Cox of Tennessee, Does Not
Believe the Army VIII Ever Get
Back to the Old Peace Footing of
$4,000 Men.
Washington, March 26.-The House to-
day entered upon the consideration of the
army appropriation bill carrying $111,-
SOC. 1854, but the. debate was without excit-
ing incident, being confined to the discus
sion of army matters.
Chairman Hull, in charge of the bill,
explained its provisions.
Mr.. Jett of Illinois criticised the policy
of rushing officers through the high grades
of the army just prior to retirement.
Mr.. Mcclellan of New York discussed
the subject of army reorganization; Mr..
Cox of Tennessee and Mr.. Ridgeley of
Kansas opposed generally a permanent
increase of the army as prejudlcial to the
best interests of the country, and Mr..
briggs of New York favored an increase
in the artillery and cavalry branches of
the service and reduction of the infan-
try arm Mr.. Meyer of Louisiana discuss
ed the Philippines policy, opposing the re-
tention of the Islands.
Mr. HUI said the estimates had been
$127.7l2,13S. The last appropriation bill
carried about $4,000 600, and there was
deficiency of about $47, 100000. Mr.. Huh
said he did not think there would be any
considerable deficiency in any Of the items
in the present bill.
Deficit Inevitable.
Mr.. Jett believed a deficit inevitable.
He pointed out MAT under the law there
could be but threeS major generals and six
brigadier generals. He read a list or
three major generals and twenty-seven
brigadIer generals, who had been pro-
noted and retired almost Immediately
during the last three years. In some cases
an officer was promoted 10 the grade of
brigadier general one day and retired tho
next.
Mr.. Parker of New Jersey suggested
that nearly every one of these officers
had served in the Civil War and forty
years service should entitle them 10 re-
tlrement as brigadier generals.
Mr. Jet replied that those officers had
cast in their fortunes with the army. For
a generation of profound peace they had
the emoluments of their positions, and he
believed that it was bad policy to pro-
mote them simply for the purpose of re-
tlrlnB tnem at a Hibhti imam ltldS
TO which they attained when the time
came for them to retire on account of
age.
Tendency Toward Miiitarism.
Mr. Ridgeley denounced the tendency
toward militarism and said that within
three years the standing army had been
Increased threefold and its cost to the
people four-fold.
Mr.. Cox announced that IL he had his
way not a dollar should be devoted to
sub1ugate the Filipinos. He predicted that
not in tho memory of man now living
would the army ever get back to fits olde
peace footing of 5000. When he came 10
Congress the appropriation for the army
were 100000 Last year they were $l2O,-
100000.
After further discussion the House, at

WANTS TO KEEP ALIENS OUT
GOLD FIELDS OF ALASKA TO BE
KEPT FOR AMERICANS.

Amendment Proposed to Check the
InrOads of FOreiGners-Spany OF
Them Have Been Getting in Their
Claims Ahead of American Citi-
zens-Amendment Adopted Provid-
ing for "a License Fee for All Kinds
of Business.
Washington, March 26-The Alaskan
civil code bill was under consideration
during the greater part of the session of
the Senate to-day.
An amendment was agreed to fixing
license upon almost every kind of trade
and commerce in the district of Alaska,
the licenses ranging from $40 to $500 per
annum.
The measure had not been disposed of
at the conclusion of the session.
When the Alaskan bill was taken up.
Mr. Perkins proposed long amendment
which was agreed to, providing licenses
with such assessments as itinerant ply
sicians, $50 jewellers, $25; breweries, $3.50;
bottling works, 5000; drug stores $50;
banks. $3.50, etc.
1t was developed that since a license
system of regulating the liquor traffic
had been adopted by Congress for Alas
ka there was only about one-fourth the
number of saloons in the district that had
been in existence, while Alaska was I'M
der prohibition law, and liquor SNUG
Cling had practically ceased.
Mr.. Hansbrough proposed an amend
ment prohibiting aliens from locating,
holding or conveying mining claims IN
Alaska; making any title to such claim
acquired through an alien Illegal, and
making 1t the duty of courts to consider
citizenship of the locator in mining claim
proceedings. This, he explained, was es-
pecially caused by the advantage, Lap
landers having reindeer had gained in
reaching the Cape Nome district ahead of
Americans.
Senator Stewards Views.
Mr.. Stewart, in charge of the bill. sup
ported the amendment. He referred to the
distinctions made against the American
miner in the Klondike. 1t was proposed
now, he said, to permit Canadians, Lap
landers, Chinese and japanese, 10 locate
mining claims in American territory as
American citizens might do.
They call this free mining" he said,
''but it is mining entirely too free to suit
the average American citizen who finds
himself denied like privileges everywhere
else
Mr.. Carter said the amendment was in
the interest of American miners who
were entitled 10 locate claims on Ameri-
can soil He ridiculed the idea that a
party of Laplanders piloted to this conn
try by DIR. Sheldon Jackson, with whom
Congress, ''in a fit of temporary aberra-
ton of mind" had made an arrangement
to relieve some starving whalers should
be allowed to pre-empt the best mining
claims in Alaska, even before they had
indicated their desire to become Ameri-
can citizens.
Mr.. Morgan offered a substitute for this
amendment which he thought likely TO
meet all objections. 1t extends rights and
privileges of gold mining in Alaska to
subjects of Great Britain and Russia on
equal terms with those granted by those
governments to our citizens in the portion
of said governments bordering on the
Arctic ocean or Boring sea.
Without acting on these amendment,
the Senate at $40 p. m. adjourned.
