The National tribune., 1900-12-20

In executive session the two amend
ments were reportsd.
The time was spent in debate on the
treaty. Senator Culberson proposed to
Disregard England altogether in the mat
ter. He thought the treaty should be
laid aside Ind tlhel Hepburn Canal bill
recalling that England had on three occa-
sions appreciated The United States to Sc
cure the abrogation of the Clayton-Bul-
wer Treaty, but on each occasion the
United States bag. declined the overture.
There was no reat;on to ruthlessly destroy
the friendliness of Great Britain.
The House discussed the War Revenue
deduction bill in committee of the whole.
SATURDAY. DEC. II.
In the Senate on Saturday there was n
flibustering effort to prevent the setting
of time for voting on the treaty by
those who desired to speak against the
subsidy bill, they fearing that, if the
treaty was disposed of and the shipping
bill taken again under consideration, the
lack of speeches would open the way for
Il vote. But an understanding was reached
by which an agreement might be made
that the treaty should be voted upon he
fore the holiday adjournment on Dec. 81.
1t was also decided that the shipping bill
should go over without vote until after
the holidays
Several treaty amendments were intro
duced by individuals.
The House passed the War Revenue
Reduction bill. The opposition tried to re-
commit the bill with instructions to re-
port back measure reducing the revenue
at least SI0,000,00O, and including an in
come tax provision so drawn as to escape
an adverse Supreme Court decision. The
motion failed, 131 to 155. Thereupon the
bill was passed without the concurrence
of the minority, who refrained from vot-
ing.
PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL.
The House then went back into COM
mittee of the whole to consider the Pen
sion Appropriation bill. Mr. Barney, of
Wisconsin, stated that there was no new
legislation in the bill; that it was an exact
copy of the bill for the current year. both
as to language and amount; that. it car
ried S145, go. The bill was passed
without debate or amendment in - min
utes.
MONDAY, DEC. IL.
In the Senate it was agreed to vote on
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty on Dec. 20.
In the House the Bromwcll bill was
taken up, and defeated by vote of 105 to
81. (This matter is treated more fully on

ASK for EYans.s Removal

We. the members of L. p. Case Post,
No. 372, Department of Michigan. Grand
Army of the Republic, believe that the
old soldiers contributed very materially to
the result in the recent election, and We
believe also that justice demands that we
have a change in the administration of
the Pension Bureau. We therefore ask
that n man be put at the head of the Pen
sion Bureau instead of III. Clay Evans
who is able and willing to give fair and
reasonable construction to all pension
laws. We believe that there are very
few, if any, old soldiers who are. not en-
titled to receive pension, while very
many who are receiving something should
have an increase. And we request sol
diers throughout the country, through their
Posts, to bring this matter mp and M Ike
it so strong that the President will be
compelled to give us a better mani. p.

On Friday, it is understood, Republi-
can Senators especially Interested had a
conference with the President and Mr..
Hay, in which the latter were advised
that the canal treaty could not be rati-
fed without some further amendments,
he being made acquainted with what had
been introduced. Mr.. Mckinley was I'M
willing to Withdraw the treaty. The Pres
ident, it is said, promised to submit the
treaty to the British Government, no mat
ter what changes were made. A meeting
of the Foreign Relations Committee was
then held, and two amendments were de-
cided upon for report favorably. Both
originated with Senator Foraker. One
provides for the supersession Of the Clay
ton-Bulwer convention. The other reads:
''rhe high contracting parties will i'm
mediately upon the exchange of the rati-
fications Of this convention bring it TO the
notice Of the other Powers and invite
them to adhere to It."
This included the striking out Of the
article requiring the assent Of other Pow

AN APPLICATION FOR MANDAMUs
ARGUED IN THE SUPREME COURT.

An application was made yesterday by Isaac NJ

or mandamus commanding the Democratic Gen
eral Committee forthwith to restore Michael j.
Cohey TO membership in the committee. 1t
contended by counsel that the defendant denied
charged that the relator was expelled unlawfully
The Primary Election law, Mr.. Kapper argued
was now controlling in the election to political
committees. and IL this an Office and rested
on an election, the remedy for a mans undesired
presence in committee with the people at the
next primary election, and not with his fellows
the committee 1t absurd to say that the
people had no interest in the expulsion of the
Der of the General Committee of a political party
The only expression in the act regarding the dep
clause which provided that If he failed to pay his
dues he might be excluded.
Charles J. Patterson said 1t charged by the
relator that he expelled. and If any ground
existed for expelling him. the petition did not say
1t was unlawful On December complaint
made by voters in the district, and one more of
the members, charging hostility to the party 1t
was found by the Investigating Committee that the
relator was guilty and had violated the rules OF
the committee, and after due notice he eX-
PEELED. In the McKane case the Court of Appeals
had held that, while every individual member of
to the dictates of conscience, his fellow members
were at liberty to say whether or not his presence
among them was promotive of the interests of the
party. Decision was reserved.
