WORK OF THE SENATE,

Washington, March 23.-The senate
agreed to the conference asked for by the
house on the diplomatic and consular
bill. Pettigrew's resolution coming over
from yesterday requesting the president
If not incompatible with public interest
to send to the senate an itemized state
ment of the expenses of the Philippine
commission together with the amounts
paid to each commissioner was agreed to-.
The conference report on the Puerto
Rico appropriation bill was then called
up by Mr.. Allison. Tilman, who voted
for the bill as it passed the senate and as
q member of the committee on appropria- :
tons voted favorably to report it, vigor-
ously opposed the conference report. He
expressed his regret that the senate con-
ferees had yielded to the contention Of the
house conferees, particularly in agreeing
to enlarge the purpose Of the measure by
providing for aid and relief Of the peo-
pie" of Puerto Rico.
The debate was participated in by Sen.
ators Spooner Gallnger and Tillman.
They took a wide range covering the
southern race question, Hawaii and the
Philippines. Spooner took Tillman to
task for his use Of the words and express
sions which made the colloquy quite in
teresting.

Revolutionists Won.

New York, March 23.-The reports OF
the Colombian government to the effect
that the rebellion has been crushed are
contradicted by the cable and mail ad-
vices received in this city by DR.. A.. Diaz
Guerre, which tell Of insurgent victories
at several places. The serious state OF
affairs in Colombia is further demon
strated by the order sent out by the min
lister of war at Bogota to- all reserve
army officers to report Immediately for
duty. One of these, General Manuel Mar
vaez, has just arrived here from London
on the steamer Kaiserin Maria Theresa.
He is the minister of Colombia to Lon
don. DR.. Guerra's information is to the
effect that the .revolutionists have de-
feated the government forces in battles
at Cerro Liber and Villa Vicencia. In
the fight at the last named place Is gov
ernment officers were captured. The
rebels are still sanguine of eventual suc-
cess and say the war will not end before

Steuuenberg Says the Ar
rests Were Right
In The WARDNER AFFAIR
Says That He Told General Merriam
to Take Necessary Steps to Main
tain Order-The Use of the Bull
Pen Spirited Controversy.

Washington. March 90 Governo,
/ steunenberg continued his testimony in
! the Occur d'Alene Investigation TODAY
belng cross-examined by F. c. Robert
son, attorney for those prosecuting the
! charges. The governor stated that il
any arrests We're made prior to the issu.
ance of his proclamatio it was with his
authorization and approval and because
i OF his general authority as chief execu-
tive OF the state before General Merriam
, went to the scene of disorder The gov
ernor had talk with him and told him
! to take such steps as were necessary ia
maintain order
When further questioned as to iust
who was responsible for the arrests,
Steunenberg said:
Il assume the responsibility for every
arrest in Shoshone county by General
Merriam or any one else"
He was asked if he assumed this re-
sponsihility in the case of man brought
from Montana, and amounting, 1t was
alleged, to "kidnaping."
Steunanberg answered that If It
amour ed to that he assumed the re-
sponsibility for it.
Chairman Hull at this point stated
that he had received a letter from Adju-
tant General Corbin. saying the war de-
partment was not in possession OF the
official rolls of prisoners.
The governor went on to testify that
he assumed responsibility for any arrests
made by deputies outside the state. al
though he did not claim authority be-
yond the state. He did not know that his
deputies made these arrests. but if they
did he was the responsible official
Mr.. Robertson asked il the regular
prison in which the federal prisoners
were confined was not at Moscow. Idaho.
The governor did not know Of this.
The use Of the stockade. or bull-pen. was
not the result of any specific orders. but
was due to the requirements of the oc-
casion.
A spirited controversy among members
of the committee occurred when Mr..
Cheney. an attorney for the defense. in
terposed an objection to one of Robert
sons questions.
Sulzer interposed vigorous protest
against objections from private counsel
He asserted that it had become apparent
that a majority of the committee.
through an attorney, was trying to shift
the responsibility. He declared this was
an Outrage on the minority"
Hull replied that he resented the insin-
uation that the majority represented one
side or the other. and he denied that the
majority had taken any such attitude as
that suggested by Sulzer.

CDEBEL SUSPECTS ARE
Placed ON TRIAL

Goebel. Brown asked for dismissal of
the defendant on the ground that the
warrant was defective in not stating that
the crime was committed in Franklin
county and did not show the offense to
have been committed in Kentucky. Judge
Moore overruled the objection to the form
of the warrant.
Warden Lillard of the Frankfort penf-
tentiary was the first witness sworn. He
testified he was with Goebel when the lat
ter was shot. He walked ahead of
Goebel and was just entering the state
house when the shot was fired. He look
ed toward the executive building and
saw the second window of the corner
room was slightly raised. This was the
office OF the secretary of state He
thought the shot had been fired from this
room. There were several other shots,
but he said they did not come from the
same place. The first shot was evidently
from rifle. while the others seemed
to be from pistols.

Demonstrations Lately
Gen. French is Having
a Hard Fight.

London, March %, 2:15 p. m.-Colonel
Pluner apparently has retired to Croco
dile Pools and Mafeking seems farther
off than ever from relief. This news was
contained in dispatch from Bulwayo
dated March 10 and published in second
edition of the Times. These advices add
that the base hospital has been brought
back to Gaberones though the cores
pondent further says it is thought the
object of the Boer demonstration of
March Is and 16 was to cover the remov-
al of siege guns from Mafeking.

Duluth, Mimi, March 23.-Chairman
Towne of the national committee of the

following call for a national convention:
Pursuant to resolution of the national
committee of the silver republican party
at It's meeting in the city of Chicago on
the 29th day of Nov, 1899, national con-
vention of said party is hereby called to
meet in the Coates Opera house, Kansas

day of July, 1900, for the purpose of plac-
ing in nomination candidates for presi-
dent and vice. president of the United
States and for the transaction of such
other business as may be properly
brought before said convention. A cor
dial invitation to attend or to be repre-
sented at this convention is hereby ex-
tended to all electors in the United States,
who, in 1896 left the republican party
and opposed it's platform and the ticket
because of the abandonment by that
party of it's traditional policy of bimetal-
ism, and also to all present members of
that organization who by it's adoption of
the gold standard, by it's retirement OF
greenbacks, by it's surrender to the banks
of the government function of issuing
money and it's other numerous acts of
recreancy of principles and traditions of
the best days of the republican party,
have been convinced that the party Of
Lincoln no longer exists and who are pre-
pared to recognize duties of patriotism
as superior to all party obligations. In
structions and suggestions will immedi-
ately be sent to various state and terri
torial organizations respecting the meth
cd Of selecting delegates to the national
convention"

NO CONSPIRACY
BETWEEN THE STATES
IN SOUTH AFRICA

New York, March 23-''In behalf OF
President Steyn, want to make it Clear
said Philip Louter Vessels, the Free
State envoy to America, to a World re-
porter, that there was no conspiracy be-
tween the Transvaal, the Free State and
the Cape Dutch against England as is
intimated in Capetown cable to to-day's
World.''
The dispatch referred to was cabled
from Capetown and read: "The real OBJ
jective point of the Boer delegation
Messrs. Fischer, Vessels and Wolmarens
which recently left Delagoa bay, is

thority that these gentlemen took
with them all the secret incrimi-
mating documents from Pretoria, thus
making it difficult for England to impli-
cate President Stepn and the Afrikander-
bund party in Cape Colony in conspir-
acy against Great Britain"
The Mr.. Vessels interviewed by the

Illus II. Vessels. mentioned in the cable.

ders, for Sir Alfred distinctly told Mr..
Molteno, member of the Cape parlia-
ment, that Englands ultimate purpose
was to annihilate the Afrikanders. This,
can prove. That policy was determin-
ed upon when the Afrikander element out
voted the English party in the Cape Col
ony.
II was at Bloemfontein during the me-
gotiations between the Free State and Sir
Alfred and I know that neither the
Transvaal nor the Free State expected
then that friendly relations between Eng
lish and the republics would be broken.
We thought Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir Al.

nection with the outlanders franchise.

pose of bringing it about, in pursuance
of the English policy to wipe out the Az

COLONIAL REBELS
WILL BE TREATED
WITHOUT HARSHNESS

New York. March 23.-Following is the
full text of Winston Churchills Lady
smith dispatch on treatment of colonial
rebels, as cabled to the World:
what shall Britain do now with those
she calls rebels? Has become a very i'm
portant question. They may be divid-
ed into four yclasses-the ringleaders,
those taken in arms, those who make
voluntary surrender otherwise than on
the field of battle and those who creep
back to their farms without going
through any formality.
"The persons coming under the first
two categories, those who have melted a
district to rise or have plundered the
farms of loyal farmers or have commit
ted dishonorable acts of war, may be held
to deserve severe treatment, whether sur
rendering or taken in arms, for insurrec-
tion has led to all kinds of misery and
destruction. Moreover, it may seem most
desirable to distinguish between this
class and the other. But those who wish
to make their peace, whether formally or
not, may be sternly directed to remain
on their farms, working at their ordinary
business until the queens pleasure shall
be made known to them.
This policy, I understand, is practi-
cally adopted in Cape Colonay, but in
Natal, where there is great loyalist ma
jority, who feel very bitterly toward their
neighbors, who have assisted to bring
evils upon the land, more severe treat
ment is apparently desired.
II cannot help thinking that this would
be mistake, because for one surrend-
efing rebel handcuffed and put in Jail
10 desperate men will resolve to fight to
the bitter end with the Boers
The British can bring about speedy and
permanent peace. A proclamation tend
ing to encourage desertions from the re.
publican armies similar to that issued by
Lord Roberts might be effective here.
Many Natal Dutch farmers are anxious
ly watching the treatment those who sur.
render receive, unmoved alike by loyal
passion or impractical sentiment.
The British government must estab-
iish uniform system of treating the un.
fortunate. misguided people and plead
for q system in which mercy already
treads close upon the heels of justice.
The British have by no means a mono

says: It is reported that the mail ship
Orinoco. flying the Venezuelan flag, has
left here with an armed guard and with
Venezuelan troops. The destination of
the troops is unknown. The Venezuelan
gunboat General Crespo. which arrived
here on Tuesday, brought $50 soldiers on
their way to Bolivar. Twenty OF the SOL

steamship left the gunboat followed.
