| cupy the soldiers graves, not only in
this country but in foreign climes.
They would detract your attention
from the fact that the expenses of this
government are almost double what
they were at the beginning of this ad-
ministration. They would have you
overlook the fact that we have an
army of almost 100000 soldiers. They
would further keep from you, and in
the background, the fact that trusts
have increased almost two-fold, under
tho protection, as is charged, of the
republican administration. And when
we ask them the question as to what
their future policy is-what they pro-
pose to do with the archipelago islands,
with Porto Rico and Cuba, they de-
cline to answer the questions. When
we say to them, or charge upon them,
that their policy is an imperialist-
tic policy, and ask them as our
representatives, how they intend
to vote upon this question,
/ they are silent as the grave, and
attempt to dispose of the question
with wave of the hand or turn it in
to laughter by some story.
MIR. Steck Observes an Apathy.
l have observed an apathy, especial
ly amongst the republicans, or with
the republicans of this district, in this
campaign, such as have never known
before. And have heard expressions
on all hands with reference to the re-
fusal Of our servants to answer these
questions, in certainly not commend
able manner to them. They appear
to be sulking, they refuse to pull in
the harness, they refuse to have
! these questions disposed of in that
manner, and they don't propose, and
neither do l think that the people of
this country or of this state or dis:
trict propose to have these questions
oyershadowed by the dollar mark dur.
ing this campaign.

YOU farmers say to that question:
Prosperity now, as compared to what
period? To the panicky years OF
1913 and "a? If so upon what
product of the farm? Is it on
wheat? No. Is it on oats, or corn, or
potatoes or rye? No. Is it on pork, or
cattle? l again answer, no. And when
I answer no am corroborated by the
markets of those years, in comparison
with 1900. You will find these state,

TRADE IN THE ORIENT.
Senate Is Considering Feasibility of
Investigation.

Washington, May 31.-When the SEN
ate convened today Mr.. Gallinger from
the committee on commerce reported an
amendment to the sundry CIVIL Dill
authorizing a committee to investigate
trade conditions in the Orient The
amendment is the same offered by Mr..
Gallinger in the senate on Tuesday.
AS to the amendment which he offered
to provide for a commission to investi-
gate the trade and commerce of China
and Japan and which had been objected
to by Mr.. Allison he felt he had not
been treated fairly. However, he said
he did not desire to- stand in the way
of the st. Louis fair proposition and
therefore withdrew his motion to re-
consider the vote by which it was
adopted.
Mr.. Morgan gave notice that when the
bill was reported from the committee Of
the whole to the senate he would de-
mand a separate vote upon the propo-
sition to vote $5, 900 to the Louisiana
purchase exposition.
Mr.. Gallinger offered an amendment
appropriating $4,000 to pay the salaries
and expenses of a commission of five
persons to investigate and report upon
the trade of China, Japan and other
countries.
Mr.. Allison, in charge Of the bill said
that as he had been lectured by Mr..
Gallinger he felt it his duty to say that
in only two or three instances
had new legislation been ad-
oeo 10 the penolhg Dill. he SaIo ne
would not make a point of order
against Mr.. Gallinger's amendment, but
would reserve the right to make such a
point later.
Mr.. Platt (Conn.) protested against
the creation of further commissions
and against the making of further ap-
propriations for further expositions. He
declared that certain promoters made a
business of organizing expositions and
using the local feeling aroused to work
upon congress for an appropriation.
The senate has agreed to a confer
ence on the naval appropriation bill and
Messrs. Hale, Perkins and Tillman were
named as conferees. The points in dis
agreement are the provision for armor
plate, ocean surveys and the course of
instruction at the naval academy.
Senator Gallinger in the senate today
/ withdrew his motion to reconsider the
vote by which the Louisiana purchase
exposition appropriation was passed.

PhiladelphiasG. A. r. Enters a
Protest.
Objects to Confederate M0nu-
ments in National Cemeteries.

Philadelphia, May 3L-During the
ceremonies incident to the decorating
of the graves of the Union and Con-
federate dead in the national cemetery
at Germantown, a suburb, yesterday, 1t
developed that in certain Grand Army
circles opposition has appeared to the
erection of monument to the Confed-
crate dead ia that cemetery by the
Daughters of the Confederacy. Col
Thomas G. Sample, of Pittsburg, past
commander of the G. A. R., during his
Oration In connection with the cere-.
monies under the auspices Of Ellis Post
No. 6, said: I'VE have buried all our
sectional feeling. We forget all sec
tionalism at the close of the war. Yet
while / have no objection to or BROTH
ers IN the south raising monuments TO
their generals. 1 raise my voice in pro-
test against their erecting any monu-
ment to any one who fought against
the flag in any national cemetery in the
country"
Colonel Sample said after his grafton
that he spoke only in general way
that he had not known until he reached
Germantown that there was any local
feeling on the subject. 1t then devel-
oped that the Ellis Post had adopted
resolutions protesting against the erec-
ton of the monument, laid the matter
before the Grand Army association.
composed of posts in this city and vi
cinity. which also adopted resolutions
against the proposed memorial.
The plan to raise a monument to Con-
federate dead took shape more than a
year ago Col. w H. Knauss of Ohio,
a lner1ber of the G. A r., brought to
the attention of the Daughters of the
| Confederacy that there are in the Gem
| eteties of the north the graves of thou
sands of Confederate soldiers, many of
| them unknown. The organization took
up the matter and began to collect
| funds, principally in the south, for the
| purpose OF raising monuments over
| these graves. In this city the General
| Dabney H. Maury chapter undertook
the work and hoped in the beginning to
have the monument ready to be un-
yelled Yesterday.
| Whether the project will be dropped
now that opposition to it has developed,
remains for the general society Of the
| Daughters of the Confederacy to de-
termine. Mrs. Halsey has sent a re-
port on the subject to Mrs. Norman
" Randolph of Richmond, who is the
chairman for the general work. This

NJ A Fischer, one of the Boer envoys
when he was shown the Associated
Press bulletin from London announcing
the Impending surrender of Pretoria
The bulletin was read to him, in COM
pany with the others Of the Transvaal
republic representatives after their at
tendance at a concert last night Mr..
Fischer declared at the time of their
departure from Pretoria, three months
ago, there were twof plans of action
which had been determined upon in the
event of the approach of the British at
Pretoria One was TO concentrate all
the Boer forces inside the city and
leave the rest of the country open to
the British until the fall of the city.
The other was to evacuate Pretoria af-
ter a slight show of resistance to enable
supplies to be collected and then the
army was to scatter into the mountains
and enter upon a guerrilla warfare,
which would last until the last man
was killed.
Mr.. Fischer acknowledged that if
President Kruger should tell the men
of his army to lay down their arms
and surrender in a body they would do
so, but he claimed this never would be
done by the president.
When asked as to their plans in the
event of the surrender of the republic
and the capture of President Kruger
Mr.. Vessels and Mr. Fischer said that
they would keep on in their work in this
country until they were officially re-
