SYMPATHY FOR p|ERS
Goes to the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations
BY THE VOTE 40 TO &c
ST. Louis Fair Amendment to
Sundry Civil Bill.

1
ton bill an amendment appropriating
go for the Louisiana purchase ex-
position to be held in ST Louis in 1903. on
condition that sl0010,oc0 in addition be
raised by the exposition authorities. The
amendment was offered BY Mr.. CockrelI
of Missouri and was adopted without de-
bate and without discussion. Because an
amendment offered by him subsequently
was stricken out on point of order, Mr..
Galhnger OF New Hampshire moved To re-
consider the ST Louis fair amendment.
and that motion now is pending. As it is
known that a considerable majority of the
senate favors the fair amendment IL
seems reasonable likely that the motion 70
reconsider will not be adopted Mr.
Bacon Of Georgia addressed the senate az
length on the Teller resolution expressing
sympathy for the Doors, after which the
resolution was referred 10 the commit
tee on foreign relations by vote OF 80 10
%. Mr.. Fairbanks OF Indiana endeavored
to secure consideration Of the bill pro-
viding for the extradtion of criminals
from the United States to Cuba but Mr.
Allison declined TO lay aside the apDro-
priation bill for that purpose. No ses-
SION of the senate viii bye held tomorrow.
When the senate convened today Mr.
Jones (Ark) reported house bill author
izing the commissioner of the general land
office to dispose Of the Choctax Indian
orphan lands in Mississippi and it was
passed,
Mr.. Hale (Naine) reported from the
committee on appropriations the last of
the general appropriation bills-the gen
| eral deficiency bill. He gave notice that
he would call it up at the earliest mo
ment.
Mr.. Pettgrews resolution calling on the
secretary Of the interior for informa ton
as to the leasing OF grazing lands in Okla
homa, offered yesterday, was agreed to.
| Another resolution offered by Mr.. Petit
grew calling on the secretary Of the in
| terror for all communications. reports and
charges he has received relative 10 the
management Of the Grow Creek Indian
reservation in South Dakota, also was
passed.
| The Teller resolution expressing sympa-
! thy for the Beers was then laid before the
! senate and Mr.. Bacon (Ga.) addressed the
senate. No senator could fail, he thought
| to sympathze with the Boers-such seaa-
| tors, at least. as were devoted 10 liberty
and free government. This was a case OF
| two weak republics enga sed in a struggle
! for life with the greatest empire in the
world; of pastoral home-loving people
| enga ged in a death struggle for the pro-
| lection of their homes, and their govern
ment; of 5000 or 5000 plain farmers in
| death struggle with an army of 90, 600
1 men. He could understand. however. why
| senators, though they might sympathize
with the Beers might not desire 10 com
nit the senate 20 a proposition that was
violative of international law. The pend
! ing resolution was, in his Ypinion. con-
! servative, proper and not in any way viO-
lative OF international law. Mr.. Bacon
then read an extract from memorial
presented to the house Of representa-
on January 49, 1870, relative to the war
then pending between Greece and Turkey
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bacon's speech
