DELEGATE WILCOX
SCORES TRIUMPH.
House Committee Confirms His
Right to a Seat.
THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.
The Case Not Considered In Its Tech
Meal Aspect, bat Rather ON
Broad General Grounds.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Delegate Will
cox Of Hawaii today scored a distinct
triumph IN securing unanimous vote
of House committee on elections No l.,
confirming his right to seat in the
House Of Representatives and holding
that the charges filed against him were
not sufficient to warrant his removal
Chairman Tayler was authorized to
make the report to that effect, which
will be submitted in about week.
After the meeting Mr.. Tayler ex-
planned the general considerations
which had influenced the decision Of the
committee. The case was not consid-
cred 50 much in it's technical aspects
but rather on broad grounds, all the
circumstances, conditions and sur
roundings applicable to Hawaii as one
Of our new insular possessions being
taken into consideration.
As a delegate from new Territory
II was not felt that Wilcox should be
met with the same strict construction
required in sustaining the right of
representative IN Congress to his seat.
as the delegate has only limited pow
ers and is little more than an agent. AS
TO the charges OF treason the letters
placed In evidence were written prior
to the organic act making Hawaii a
Territory and there was no disposition
to go into these prior Issues. What
ever may have been the technical irreg-
ularity Of the election, there was the
saving fact that a perfect machinery of
election was established, ballot box
was regularly provided, practically
every one participated in the voting and
the will of the people was expressed.
And on broad political grounds"
said Mr.. Tayler. 1--WE felt that the peo-
pie of these insular possessions should
understand that they We're not to be
met by mere technical objections which
would deprive them Of representation.

House Proceedings.

washington, Feb. 15.--This was priv
ate bill day in the House under the
rules. but Mr.. Cannon chairman of the
appropriations committee desired to
proceed with the consideration Of the
sundry civil appropriation bill and
moved that the House 60 into commit
tee Of the whole for that purpose, The
motion was contested by the friends
of private claims as this would be the
last opportunity the House would have
in this Congress OF considering such
bills. In anticipation OF a contest over
the right of way Mr.. Underwood (Ala-
bama), the Democratic whip, sent out
notices yesterday to all the Democrats
to be In their seats today and there
was an unusually full attendance on
that side of the House. When Mr.. Can
non saw the drift he called across the
aisle to Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader: you're trying TO loot the
treasury again"
On a rising vote Mr., Cannons mo-
ton was defeated, 62 to "a, whereupon
the chairman of the appropriations
committee demanded the ayes ana noes
and the clerk called the roll. The mo-
ton was lost, 1915 to l2S. Just before
the vote was announced Mr.. Cannon
changed his vote from aye TO no In
order to be In a position to move re-
consideration Of the vote. Immediately
upon the announcement Of the vote he
entered his motion to reconsider Mr.,
Richardson made the point OF order
that the motion was dilatory.
The House, by vote of 100 to 1OS
adopted Mr.. Richardson's motion to go
into committee Of the whole to consider
private bills.

Herr Babers Statements About IL
Denied IN the Reichstag.

Berlin. Feb. l5.-During the debate on
the third reading Of the China bill in
the reichstag today the minister OF
war. Gen. Won Gossler, replying TO Herr
Bebel's attacks on the conduct OF the
troops In China and Field MarShal
Count Won Waldersee's methods Of war
fare, said Herr Bebel's statements were
without foundation. When Herr Bebel
asserted that Prusslan sergeant major
could have better conducted the cam
paign than Field Marshal Won Walder-
see he displayed extraordinary ignor-
ance OF the circumstances and coun-
Try They ought to be grateful TO Field
Marshal Won waldersee that, with his
devotion to duty and high intelligence,
he had accepted the position entrusted
10 him by the emperor and had estab-
iished a certain amount OF order In
China. The troops also deserved
well OF their country. There
existed In China factory Of lies. Field
Marshal Won Waldersee had reported
that the conduct Of the war at the
commencement was more cruel than
II would have been In Europe because
OF the atrocities OF the Chinese, but
since his arrival he had endeavored TO
check the cruelty and protect peaceable
people.
Gen. Won Gossler continued:
only n few serious offences have
been committed BY the troops and the
guilty men have invariably been pun
ished.
The English and French reports have
acknowledged the correct behavior OF
the Germon troops. II is difficult TO un-
derstand how q German deputy could
