IN CONGRESS-.
Senator Hoar Makes Harangue Against
Imperialism and Expansion.

Washington, April Ex-senator Hoar
on imperialism. An address of $4,000
words had been prepared by him, but
owing to an attack Of grip he spoke
only for three hours. The speech con-
tanned a brilliant eulogy of Aguinaldo,
whom he likened to Dom Paul, to Kos
suth, Joubert, Nathan Hale and other
leaders in what he said was the cause of
freedom. The speech was tremendous
strain on Mr.. Hoar, but the more i'm
portant passages were delivered with
force and vigor. The speech was an
oratorical effort that abounded in rhe-
torical figures, and was rich with cita-
tions from history. In statecraft he
likened Aguinaldo to the best men ever
produced in Asia, the race which hand
ed down the Scriptures Of the Old and
New Testaments, the poetry of David,
the wisdom Of Solomon and the pro-
found philosophy.,of P..ul. One of the
most effective parts of the address was
his fancied roll-call of some Of the dis
tinguished statesmen of the United
States on the question of the retention
of the Philippines. He began with
George Washington and closed with
William Mckinley, each in a sentence
giving the reason for his vote. Every
vote was in the negative, except that
of Aaron Burr, who voted "yes," and
said:
"You are repeating my buccaneering
expedition down the Mississippi I am
to be vindicated at last"
When the name of William McKin-
ley was called he replied:
There has been a cloud before my
vision for a moment, but see clearly
now; I go back to what I said two
years ago: 'Forcible annexation Is
criminal aggression; governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed, not of some of them,
but all of them I will stand with the
fathers of the republic. I will stand
with the founders of the Republican
party. No."
The effect was dramatic. AS Mr.. Hoar
pronounced his peroration the stiffness
in the chamber was intense. Applause
swept over the galleries, but it was
hushed quickly by the president pro
tenn.
When the senate convened to-day Mr..
Hale reported from the committee on
naval affairs a joint resolution author
izing the secretary of the navy to have
struck bronze medals for distribution
among certain officers and men Of the
North Atlantic squadron, commemorate
ing the naval engagements between the
forces of Spain and the United States
in the waters of the West Indies and of
the Cuban coast. 1t appropriates $4,000
and was adopted.
HOUSE.
Washington, April 1S.-The house to-
day resumed consideration of the naval
appropriation bill. A general debate

The AIR LINE ASSURED.
The Railroad From Kansas City to Ell Paso
By Wsy of New Mexico,

A Denver dispatch has it that the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf extension
to FL Paso by way of Roswell is an as
sured fact. The line begins with the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf. This road
operates from Weatherford, Okla, to
Memphis, Tenn. This through line is
formed from the Little Rock & Mem
phis, an extension recently completed
from Little Rock to Wister, the original
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf, running
from Wister to Oklahoma, and a second
extension recently made from Oklaho-
ma to Weatherford. The Choctaw, Ok
lahoma & Gulf has been seeking con-
nection with the Colorado & Southern
for some time, and arrangements have
been completed whereby the two lines
will be connected by an extension from
Weatherford to Amarillo, on the Colo
rado & Southern.
From Amarillo west the new line is to
be over the new extension of the Pecos
Valley, from Amarillo to Roswell. From
Roswell to Ell Paso the Hagerman in
terests have already authorized the con-
struction of the little over 100 miles
needed to reach the latter point, where
there is connection with the South
ern Pacific for southern California, and
with the Mexican Central railway for
Mexico points. In all there Is but a lit
tie over 300 miles of this new line still
to be built
This will make line from Kansas
City to reach the northern boundary of
Mexico, and make connections to
southern California. A line between
those two points is now nearly finished,
and the remaining links are already un-
der construction, or authorized. Cir
cumstances have developed an air line
between Memphis, Tenn, and Ell Paso,
Tex, that will have trains running over
it in year or more. This line will be of
great advantage to Colorado and New
Mexico, putting them in connection
with territory which has heretofore
been hard to reach. The connection is
through the Colorado & Southern and
the Pecos valley road, and through the
officials of the Colorado & Southern
comes the assurance that the scheme is
one which has had the serious consid-
Grafton of the officials of the various
lines interested. The Colorado & South
ern, as connection, has been consult
ed by roads which contemplate extern
sions which will result in the formation
of new transcontinental line.
The southeastern states have always
been closed more or less effectually to
Denver as buying or selling markets be-
cause of roundabout railroad routes.
From Amarillo to Memphis the new line
is almost straight. There could be no
more direct route for connection with
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and
northern Alabama and Mississippi. The
states west of the Mississippi through
which the line runs are of value to Col
Grade. To the markets of this country.
by the new line. Colorado and New
Mexico will have practically the same,
If not better access, than the eastern
states.
The movements of the Frisco line for
connection with the Colorado &
Southern at Acme will also be Of advan-
tage to Colorado and New Mexico. but
the connection Is not so close as the one
formed by the Choctaw, Oklahoma &

TURKEY Is STUBBORN,
The Sublime Porte Increases Tariff Duties
to Raise Revenue.

Constantinople, April 1S.-The porte
to-day replied to the third collective
note Of the powers on the subject Of the
increase Of per cent in duties. The
note announced the intention of the
government to adhere to plan for in
creasing the duties on account of the
bad condition of the Turkish finances.
The ambassadors have decided to ad-
dress another note to the porte, again
stating their objections to such an in
crease without a previous understand
ing with the powers. The tenacity of
the porte threatens to have serious re-
suits.
TURKEY MUST PAY UP.
Washington, April 1S.-The diplomat
ic relations of the United States and
Turkey are in critical condition. The
porte had promised to pay indemnity
claims of Americans growing out Of the
destruction of eight buildings of the
Euphrates college at Harpoot, in Ar
menia, belonging to American mission
aries. The claims amount to $4,000,
and although the promise to pay was
made in 1898, and it has been repeated
several times since then, not cent has
been paid yet Secretary Hay may give
the Turkish minister at Washington his
passports, and the United States may
send squadron to Constantinoplc to
collect the claim.

Washington, April 1S.-A brief tele-
gram received at the war department
to-day announces the departure Of the
members of the Philippine commission
from San Francisco on the Hancock. In
asmuch as the vacancy Of first secre-
tary Of the commission has not yet been
filled, the impression is that Secretary
Root and other officials of the commits
sion decided to make an appointment
from among the American residents in
the Philippines.

FINLEY WILL GO BACK.
He Will Believe the Democrats From the
Ouandary In Which They Are.

Frankfort, KY, April 16.-lt Is De-
lieved here that there will be trouble in
securing extradition from Indianapolis
of ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley
who yesterday was indicted by the
grand jury in connection with the mur-
der of Goebel. Governor Mount of In
DIANA has refused to recognize the re-
QUESTION from Governor Beckham, and
Governor Taylor will not be asked to
make a requisition by the Franklin
county officials, because that would be
recognition of the contestee, who had
the adverse decision from the state
court.
GOLDEN TESTIFIES.
Frankfort, KY, April 1S.-The taking
of testimony in the Colson trial COM
menced this morning in the circuit
court. The first witness introduced by
the commonwealth was B. B. Golden.
Golden testified at length as to his
whereabouts after arriving in this city
up to the time of the shooting of Goe-
bel.
FINLEY READY TO GO BACK.
Indianapolis, Ind, April 18.-Charles
Finley, ex-secretary of state of Ken
lucky, who has been in this city several
weeks, and who has been notified that
an indictment has been returned
against him and other Kentucky Re-
publicans, was called upon to-day by
Kentucky Republicans who are in the
city. II intend to return to Kentucky
and face the indictment against me"
he said to-day. "My mind has not been
changed by the news of my Indictment;
I have all along intended to go back to
my state. I cannot say just when /
shall go, but probably not until my trial
on the indictment, for am not willing
to go back and be thrown into jail.
When the time for the trial comes,
however, shall go to Kentucky and de-
fend myself against the unjust charges
they have brought against me-" Finley
said further that he had no doubt that
he would have been thrown into jail
like Powers and Davis II it hadn't been
that simply by chance private interests
had brought him into Indiana. As to
his belief as to whether Beckham would
make another attempt to remove him
from indianapolis by requisition, Fin.
lev ,nolitely declined to talk.

BUTLER IS CENSURED
Leading British Generals Adversely
Criticized In Dispatch From
Lord Roberts.
LONDON PAPERS OUTSPOKEN
The Beers While Making New Trenches
At Warrenton Are Fired Upon By the
British-No Further News From
Wepener.

London, April 18, a. m.-The govern
ment published dispatch from Lord
Roberts pronouncing censure upon Sir
Redvers Butler and Sir Charles Warren,
two of his most important subordinate
commanders. This dispatch, written
February 13, has been in the hands of
the war office for five weeks. Just why
it is published now, in the middle of the
campaign, is not understood, unless 1t
is expected that Butler and Warren will
ask to be relieved of their commands.
The revelation of their incapacity must
tend to undermine the confidence of the
troops in their leadership. Lord Rob-
erts' long wait and the Boer activity
have seriously disturbed public equa-
nimity. He is still 300 miles from Pre-
toria. No one doubts the ultimate sue
cess of the British arms, but, behind the
British army that crushes the Boer
armies an army of occupation will have
to be installed. From various sources
hints come of more men than those al
ready provided for will have to be sent
out
SEVERE CENSURE.
London, April 1S, 1:55 p. m.-Roberts'
criticisms of Generals Butler and War
rem and Colonel Thorneycroft continue
topics of acute interest. All afternoon
papers comment at length on the stric-
lures of the British commander in chief,
taking the same lines as the morning
papers. The papers are praising Rob-
erts for frankness, and are speculating
upon what the publication of the dis
patches at the present moment por-
tends. Some of them maintain that
there is nothing left for Butler but to
resign. The st. James Gazette Is partic-
ularly scathing. Referring to Buffers
report, it says: "Never in the history of
armies did it happen that generals
scribbled confessions of failure and de-
feat, of useless deaths of men and of
discredit to the flag, in the manner
the forced jocularity of the funny man
and the slangy chatter Of horsey wom-
end and the gable of the smoking room
late in the evening"" The Globe de-
clares that "a more pitiable record of
indecision and planned confusion in ex-
ecution we have seldom read" and adds
that what little reputation Butler had
left had been reported so far in to-day's
South African cables.
BOERS BOMBARDED.
A dispatch received last night from
Warrenton, dated Tuesday, says: 1--WE
are finding the Beers busy making new
trenches. We exploded lyddite shells
and followed up these with Maxims. The
enemy's ambulance was afterward OBJ
served on the spot" From Wepener
nothing later than Roberts message Of
yesterday has been heard. Presumably
neither side gained any particular ad-
vantage at any point in the theater of
war since the last official dispatch was
received.

ic ticket was headed by w. w. Heard,

Governor Foster to succeed Senator
Caffery. The cleo ion was the first held
under the new legislation which prac-
tically disfranchises the negroes. The

CAPITOL NEARLY COMPLETED.
Comparatively Little More Work on the
 Territorial Building.

Despite the hindrances in the way of it's completion the capitol is nearly finished. In fact several of the rooms, notably the executive office. are ready for use at once, had the $i30,00O building been formally ac cepted by the board of commissioners. and were the territorial officers in Il hurry to get in their new home.
 Practically all of the exterior work is completed The roofing was finished last week, and all that remains is the placing on the top of the dome the zine statue of Justice, which will arrive this week from Ohio.
 The wood floors are all laid, and oa the first floor the tiIing in the rotunda is all down and partially so in the cor riders. The kasomining Is all com pieted. and the painting of the wood work is ended on the first floor and partly finished on he secOnd The molding in the top of he rotunda is Il difficult piece of work and will be fin ished in a few days.
 The clustering, kalsomining and painting throughout the building is particularly good, and in fact all the work is noticeable for excellence and the evidence of close attention to details. The wood is especially fine and was gathered from five states and terri tories: Texas, Oregon. Arkansas, Ari- zona and California. The oak is all quarter sawed. and shows especially well in the baustrades 10 be placed around the rolunda.
 According to Contractor Thos. Lowell the greatest obstacle which he has had t. overcome has been scarcity of ma terial and of good mechanics, especially stone masOns.

PRESIDENT URGED TO ACT.

Said He May Again Recommend Free
Trade With Porto Rico.
Z MINNEAPOLIS, March 22.-A Journal
special from Washington says:
Il am in q position to state that a
number Of the leading members Of the
senate have advised the president to
recommend again publicly free trade
with Porto Rico. They say an opportu.
nifty will offer when he transmits to
congress hisreport that he has approved
the $2,O00,000 appropriation bill. This
bill has relieved the temporary necessi-
ties of the island and therefore no rea-
son exists why tariff should be levied.
"Such message, in tho opinion of
many senators, would meet the senti-
ment of the country and save the Re-
publican party. The president, while
not promising, is understood to have
agreed to take the suggestion under ad-
visement for few days. y ,-.f-
