principles we have founded and
maintained the most enlightened, most
! humane and best government the
world has ever seen. We denoUnce,
therefore, the abandonment Of this
principle by the Mckinley administra-
ton, and the substitution in its stead
of a monarchical system of govern
ment by force.
eve expressly declare our opposition
to the Mckinley policy Of establishing
colonial dependencies as adJuncts to
our republic. We denounce that pol
icy as revolutionary, destructive Of the
fundamental principles of free
government, and an abandonment of
that splendid system upon which was
founded our free institutions. We will
fight 20 the last ditch every attempt
to establish a military system which
necessarily leads to compulsory mill
tary service as an obligation of citi-
zenship, and will strenUOusly oppose
the maintenance of a large standing
army, unnecessarily, with all of its at
tendant burdens OF oppressive taxa
ton. We denOunce the attitude which
the Mckinley administration has as
sumed toward the gigantic aggrega-
tons Of capital commonly known as
trusts"
The other resolutions favor legisla-
ton equalizing the tax laws, upon
basis Of constitutional uniformity, and
revision of the laws relating to trans
portatiOn rates and license fees of
quasi-public corporations. Opposition
is expressed to the joint resolution
amending the constitution vesting con-
troll Of the public schools in the hands
of the state superintendent, also to the
Joint resolution for the general
banking law. The present caucus law
is condemned, and a revision favored
resulting il the direct method of nom
nations.

HORsE TRANsPORTs.

SAN FRANCISCO December 81
The big horse transport Westminster
sailed again for Manila yesterday, aft
er her machinery had received the nee
essary repairs. Captain Barneson re-
ports that she is in first-class condition
and that the accident was not at all
serious, The Westminster is one of
the largest of the fleet of horse trans
ports and was fitted out at a great eX-
pense. She is chartered for six montHs
and will probably make one more TRIP
to Manila after her present one.
The horse transport Aztec is taking
on cargo now and viii be ready for her
horses about Thursday or Friday 1t is
expected that she will sail before the
end of the week.
The Zealandia is being put in good
shape, but nobody seems to know for
what reason, She has full crew aboard
and even the employees of the stew
ards department have not been dis
charged.

HENRY B. HYDE AFIRE.
Puts Into Valparaiso With Cargo of
Coal Burning.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2S.-
Norfolk, Va, coal does not seem to be
a very safe cargo. Tuesday the ship
Kennebec caught fire while discharg-
ing at Mare Island, While yesterday the
Merchants Exchange received word
that the Henry B. Hyde put into Val
paraiso with her cargo on fire. Both
vessels have Norfolk coal aboard. The
owners of the Kennebec did not like
the cargo, and Is per cent reinsurance
was paid on her before she reached this
port. The Hyde is one of the fleet pur-
chased by the California Shipping Com
pany from Flint & Co., and her new
owners were expecting her to reach Ho-
nolulu early next month. Captain Nc
LeOd was to have left for the islands
on the Mariposa to take charge of the
vessel, but when the news came that
she had put into Valparaiso in distress
he decided to remain in San Francisco
for another month. The chances are
that the Hyde will have to discharge
her cargo, and in that event it will be
couple of months before she reaches
Honolulu.

TRANSPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO December 2S.-A
fleet of transports arrived at Manila
yesterday. The Duke of Fife and st.
Paul, which left here November 81; the
Indiana, which sailed two days later,
and the Ohio, which sailed November
"a, all got in at the same time. This
will give Otis two more regiments with
which to follow up the Filipinos.
The transport Sheridan is going to
Seattle to load as soon as she is coaled
and the Valencia, which arrived from
Manila a few days ago, may go back
with commissariat stores. The Aztec
went to Harrison street wharf yester-
day to take on her load of horses. She
will probably sail Saturday.

BIG CARGO OF Hay.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2S.-
Fodder is so scarce in Hawaii that $45
a ton is being offered for hay. The reg
ular vessels plying between here and
the islands cannot carry enough of the
feed to supply the demand, and in con-
sequence every vessel that can be pro-
cured is being loaded and sent down.
The Northern Light has been taken out
of the lumber trade in order to carry
hay. 1t will be piled up ten feet high
on her deck, and it will be housed in, IN
order to save it from the salt water.

He had not intended by that proposi-
tion TO embarrass the Administration in
any way, and he would seek TO secure his
end by the introduction of bill AUTHOR
izing the appointment of such minister,
and its consideration through the usual
channels
Turning then to the matter under discus
sion, Mr.. Smith vigorously expressed him
self in favor of great foreign policy. The
Democracy had always opposed every
movement intended for the advancement
of the country, he said, and was opposing
now the responsibility resulting from the
Spanish war For himself he would hold
the Philippines and make out OF them
whatever it was possible to make. He
was glad that Porto Rico was coming in,
and he regretted that Congress had ever
declared itself bound by any distinct line
of action regarding Cuba.
Regarding the South African war, Mr..
Smith said he. believed the Beers were
right in the struggle. but warmly expressed
the hope that the agitation would not
result in action by the President. the effect
of which might be to imperil the peace
and prosperity of the country.
Mr.. II. C. Smith of Michigan said that
he believed If the United States were going
to tie up with any power it ought not to
engage with the decaying British Empire,
but with the growing, strong German En-
pire.

The largest canvas. "The Highway OF the

waste of open sea in showery weather, as
one may see it somewhere in the course of
any voyage. 1t is aptly named. The
painter has centred a silvery glitter of
light on the middle distance. thus giving
variety. relief. and clear relation in the
perspective OF grey metallic waves. The
color is that peculiar green-grey. the most
charming color known TO the sea, and Il
tone and color only present when the sky
is overcast or in rainy weather. The only

which add to ones interest in the scene,

seurs. who know how difficult is this ap-
parently simple problem. This picture will
remain in the mind of the visitor as the
great picture Of the collection. while the

other.

PICTURES OF SEA LIFE.
Edward Moran's Exhibition Mt the
Washingtob Artists Gallery.

Washington Artists Gallery.
The private view OF the paintings by
Edward Moran which was given at the
Society of Washington Artists Gallery
Yesterday was we'll attended. The Cab
met and the Diplomatic Corps were well
represented, and the opinion was generally
expressed that this is quite the most
notable series of historic pictures yet
painted in this country. The nineteen i'm
portant paintings are appropriately
mounted ard draped.
The exhibition will be open to the public
daily from 10 to 10 this week and next.
Mr.. Moran is the eldest Of the little group
of great American marine painters. Like
Innis. the work of his ripest years is the
best. and while entirely different in his
manner from that of Richards. Harrison
and Rehn, his work is not less individual
and true than theirs. This group of lead
ers must be thought of together only a
rash person whose personal taste was
stronger than his judgment woulI make
comparisons.
The Moran exhibition is composed OF
nineteen pictures in all, thirteen oil which
are the historical series illustrating the
marine history of this country. The SIX
additional pictures are most excellent
paintings, which are introduced to ac-
commodate the collection to the galleries
and round out the decorative effect. Inc
canyases are all large and vividly inter-
esting. There Is unusual variety in these
pictures. considering that they are by one

United States. Mr.. Butler referred to the
three speeches which have been delivered
in opposition to the resolution, and said
that they have been devoted to part of
the question that is not at issue-that is,
whether the negro is as intelligent and as
capable Of self-government as the white
man The questions which, he argued, are
at issue are:
First. Is section OF the proposed
amendment unconstitutional-in conflict
with the Fifteenth Amendment
Second. II the Supreme Court should
hold that section is unconstitutional,
would it also hold that the balance of the
amendment (which makes complete
and constitutional scheme Of limiting SUI
frage) should stand as a part Of the or
ganic Law of the State?'
He then referred to the section known
as the grandfather clause" and said: 1T
provides that a citizen who could vote on
or before January /. 1851. or whose father
or grandfathers were then allowed 70 vote
shall be exempt from the provisions OF
section 4 and permitted to vote. even
though unable to read and write. and
therefore not possessing the qualifications
required OF other voters. Now does this
nrovision operate equally impartally. and
uniformly upon both races and upon those
formerly free or formerly bOndI III il does
not, then clearly 1t is unconstitutional and
must fall"
After discussing the question from n
constitutional and legal point of view. Mr.
Butler said: The voters of North Caro-
lima are intelligent enough to know that
there is not only grave but certain dan
ger to 60, eco of the white voters in this
amendment. known as the grandfather
amendment but they also know that IL
81 adnptpi and section
; eliminated no power under heaven could
restore to those voters their ballot except
by again amending the Constitution.
Il regret to say it. and would not adj
yertise the fact il the threatened danger
of disfranchisement of this large number
of the sturdy yoemanry of the State did
not demand it. that North Carolina has
larger percentage OF flliterate whites than
any other State in the Union Therefore
the adoption OF such a DISTINGUISHING
scheme would result in disfranchising
more good, substantial men in my State
than in any other State in the Union
These illiterate white men are not like
the class of iliiterates who make up the
slums OF the great cities. but they are, as
a rule, sturdy and as worthy citizens as
North Carolina has within her borders.
..These go 600 illiterate white voters are
intelligent enough to know that when once
they are DISTINGUISHED they would have 10
vote TO help change the amendment and
help wipe out the wrong. They know tsat
the average politician only fea1s the p ople
50 long as they have vote. Mr.. PTeSt-
dent. this whole scheme is not only iraught
with danger, but 1t is unnecessary. IL puts
the south in a false and unenviable post
ton to attempt to deal with suffrage In this
uncandid manner.

MANY SPEECHES MADE.
The Poiygnmy Hearing Creates Much
Public Interest


very interesting hearing took place
yesterday before the House Judiciary Com
mit.ee on the pending bills and joint reso-
lutions providing for a constitutional
amendment to prohibit polygamy. The an
nouneement of the hearing drew to the
committee room a large number of ladies
and gentlemen.
Seventeen speeches were made. all Of the
same tenor. The Mormon Church was de-
nounced generally and polygamy in par
ticular. The impression made on members
of the committee was pronounced and it
is believed that one of the many joint reso-
lutions or bills to prohibit polygamy will
be promptly reported TO the House
DR.. John Eaton spoke briefly on the sub
ject of polygamy. after which he presented
the speakers to the committee.
The first TO address the committee was
Bishop Satterlee, of the diocese of Wash
ington. Family life. he said, was the root
of civilization. He hoped the movement to
amend the Constitution would be for
warded
DR.. ]. a. s. Hobart. representing the
Baptist Church. said he was familiar with
the sentiment Of the people on the subject.
and they rejoiced in the action of Congress
in the Roberts case.
DR.. Randolph H. McKim said this ques-
tion of eradicating polygamy was men,
ace to the American home. The Roberts
case had opened the eyes OF the world
PoiySamy. he said, was the backbone of
Mormonism.
DR.. A. B. Leonard, of New York, said
there was the deepest interest everywhere
in the question of polygamy. DR.. John
Dixon. Of New York, said IL the question
before the committee was only a moral
one Congress would not deal with it, and il
question Of character. it could not enter
into the qualification OF Congressman.
But it was a crime which, he saId had
violated its pledge.
At this point Chairman Ray spoke OF
the necessity for a uniform system of
marriage and divorce. and stated that 1t
was common for a man to have from two
TO four lawful wives in as many States.
DR.. T. S. Hamlin said that so far as
Mormonism as a religion was concerned.
he had no complaint to make against its
sggressions. But the attempt OF that
church TO foist on our civilization a sys-
TEN against which the civilized world is
arraigned could only be met by law. Dr.
s. H. Greene commended all that had been
said on the subject.
Mrs. James. OF the Woman's Home Board
of Mission of the Presbyterian Church.
said the Mormon Church changed fom
year to year. but not polygamy, which was
the cornerstone of Mormonism.
other speeches in the same vein wee
made by Mrs. S. d. La Fetra. former
Judge William NJ Springer. of Illinois: Miss
