THE MINORITY REPORT.
MIR. Richardson Cries Imperialism and
Arbitrary Power.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13-Representative
Richardson, Of Tennessee, presented to the
House the minority report on the Philip
pines tariff bill, signed by all the Demo-
Gratis Of the ways and means committee ex-
cept Mr.. Robertson, of Louisiana. The re-
port says, in part:
THE measure is but another step in the
well-marked line of imperialism. 1t is en-
acting policy of pure colonialism, and the
worst form of that policy We are opposed
to our government attempting to hold ter
Titories as colonies and treating the in
habitants thereof as subjects and imposing
upon them a government of force. This Is
the method OF the empire instead Of that OF
the republic. We oppose the whole policy
of the majority in dealing with the Philip
pine archipelago. We believe that, instead
of the effort they are making 10 set up and
hold permanent colonies there. we should
long since have inaugurated a policy assur-
ing 10 the people of those islands stable
government and their ultimate independ-
ence. But. even If there is TO be adj
mitted change in our institutions and our
form Of government and a wide departure
from the old landmark of political truth
that all governments instituted among men
derive their just powers from the consent
of the goyerned-and II il be admitted that
we are TO embark upon the dangerous and
desperate policy of colony-holding and SUBJ
ject governing, TO none of which do we
agree even then we could not give our as
sent 10 the passage OF the pending measure.

TREATY WILL BE RATIFIED.

The discussion OF the new Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty in the Senate, as far as it has
progressed. shows a decided weight of
argument in favor of ratifying the treaty.
There can be no doubt that it makes every
reasonable concession in favor of the
United States building and controlling an
isthmian canal. and that it is a complete
surrender by Great Britain Of her long
standing contention under the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. The abrogation of that
treaty, which is done in express terms by
the present treaty, means a great deal.
That treaty declared that neither the
United States nor England will ever OBJ
tain or maintain for itself any exclusive
control over the said ship canal" The
present treaty gives the United States ex-
elusive control. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty
provided that neither the United States
nor Great Britain will ever erect or MAIN
tain any Notifications commanding said
canal or in the vicinity thereof" The Hay
Pauncefote treaty OF last year continued
this provision by declaring that mo forth
fications shall be erected commanding the
ent treaty does not prohibit nor mention
Notifications. On the contrary, by requir-
ing the United States to maintain the neu-
trality of the canal and to see that in time
of war "a vessel of war of one belligerent
shall not depart from the canal within
twenty-four hours from the departure of
vessel of war OF the other belligerent''
it virtually comedies to the United States
the right TO erect Notifications at both
ends of the canal. Otherwise, how could
the foregoing provision be enforced? The
fact that in the present treaty England
consented TO striking out the provision
against fortifying the canal which was
contained in the Clayton Bulwer treaty
and also in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of
1900 is very significant II is almost eouiva-
lent to saying that the United States may
erect Notifications If 1t wishes to or If
it deems them necessary to maintaining
the neutrality of the canal and enforcing
the twenty-four hours departure provision.
The arguments on this and other lines leave
doubt that the present treaty will be
ratified.

MRS. LYNCH TESTIFIES.
BaiIin Lynch's Divorced Wife Says He
Did Not Tell the Truth.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Mrs Margaret
Lynch, wife OF ex-Bailin James ]. Lynch.
the confessed jury briber. was the star
witness in the early session OF the trial
OF Alexander Sullivan, charged with al
legged conspiracy to keep Lynch from be-
ing tried for his crime. She gave the
lie direct TO much of her husbands testi-
mony, on which the State had largely
based the case Mrs Lynch has been
separated from her husband for some time
To-day Mrs. Lynch denied emphatically
that Alexander Sullivan's name was men
toned either by her husband or by George
p. Murray on the night when Murray Is
said 10 have called on Lynch TO ask him
10 accompany him 10 Sullivan's house.
Lynch testified some time ago that Muir
ray said he came at Sullivan's behest. and
that Sullivan wanted 10 send Lynch 10
Canada in order TO avoid being tried for
Jury bribing. Mrs. Lynch further testi-
fed, I'm contradiction 10 Lynch. that Lynch

and it stiH believes he is a mischievous
agitator. but unless he has done something
worse than trying TO get increase of
wages for workingmen in Porto Rico COM
mensurate with the change of money
standard he does not deserve any punish
ment To constitute criminal conspiracy
there must be cooperation to destroy life
or property or to deprive some person of his
natural or legal rights. a movement for an
increase of wages is not such a conspiracy
unless it involves a destruction of life
or property or interference with freedom
of trade, of which there is no charge in
the present case. Porto Rico is now a
part Of the United States and it cannot
and ought not to be expected that the
old Spanish standard Of wages will pre-
vail there for any great length of time
Neither ought Spanish law to prevail there
nor Spanish standards of industrial rights
The dispatch announcing the conviction Of
Ig.esias says: 1.-The local Federation of
the Workmen of Porto Rico, which is now
part Of the American Federation Of Labor,
under the presidency of Samuel Gompers,
has been ordered dissolved, as it has been
adtudged illegal because of this conspir-
acy." II is surprising 10 learn that the
principles of American law and Justice
are as yet so little established in Porto
Rico that labor organization which would
be perfectly legal in the United States
should be held there a conspiracy because
it seeks by peaceable means to bring about
an increase of wages for workingmen.
Such law and such judgments cannot be
defended for a moment. From an Ameri-
can point of view the charge against
Iglesias is frivolous and his Imprisonment
under such a conviction would be an out
rage that should not be permitted by the
United States government. Either Porto
Rican law needs amending or the Porto
Rican court has made monstrous de-
cision.

RoBIxsoN,s BID FOR NoToRIETY.

Representative Robinson, of the Fort
Wayne district. presented two measures in
the House yesterday relative to the extra
dition of alleged fugitives from justice by
the Governors of the States in which they
sojourn or reside. One of these measures
asks for an investigation to ascertain
whether or not the Governor of any State
is justified in refusing to issue extraditiOn
papers in response to a request from the
Governor of another State. while the other
provides that in case a Governor refuses
TO recognize extradition papers they may
be executed by a United States marshal.
Mr.. Robinson can scarcely be so ignor-
ant regarding the action of Governors
throughout the country in regard to requi-
sitions as he claims to be, since such re-
fusal is matter of frequent occurrence.
If the Governor of one State can compel
the Governor of another 10 give up
alleged fugitive from justice on demand,
why go to the trouble Of sending requi-
sition? Governor Matthews, if the Jour
nal is not mistaken, once refused to honor
the requisition Of a Governor for an al
of fine abilities. refused to extradite a man
who, in defending himself against Kuklux,
killed one of his assailants, his refusal be-
ing based upon the ground that If the man
should be returned he would be executed
without fair trial. If Mr.. Robinson had
looked up the matter he would have dis
covered that Governor Hill, OF New York.
refused for two years to issue extradi-
tion papers upon the request Of the Gov
ernor of Connecticut. If he had studied the
matter he would have discovered that
Chief Justice fancy gave an opinion. in
case carried to the Supreme Court, that
there is no power to compel Governor to
issue requisition papers.
The second measure Of Mr.. Robinson is
probably one Of the most remarkable ever
inspired by ignorant and reckless dema-
gogy. 1t is that when the Governor Of a
State shall refuse TO recognize requisition
papers they may be executed by a United
States marshall There was a Democratic
maxim from the time Of Jefferson until the
close of the Cleveland regime which read:
IAN indestructible Union of sovereign
States" In earlier days the Democratic
party was the champion of state rights,
often placing the State before the Union.
But Mr.. Robinson was a Greenbacker or a
Populist when there was a Democracy
which was jealous Of the rights OF the
State 1t is, indeed, new and very fresh
Democracy that would confer upon the
Governor of one State the authority to re-
quire a United States marshal to invade
another State to seize alleged fugitive
from justice and take him away without
the sanction of it's executive. Doubtless
Mr.. Robinson does not know ii, but in his
extreme eagerness TO attract attention to
himself he invokes the destruction of state
authority and places a deputy United
States marshal over the sovereignty of a

THEIR ROUGH RIDER HATS.
A Roosevelt Fashion That Prevails
Among COngressmen.

Washington Letter In Baltimore American.
Since the advent of President Roosevelt
in the White House it has been noticed in
Washington that public men have affected
the wearing Of that kind Of SLOUGH hat
made popular by Colonel Roosevelt and
known as the Rough Rider hat. When Con-
gress assembled on Monday last the House
cloakroom on the Republican side looked as
If whole regiment of Rough Riders had
hung their hats there. After the House adj
journed there was considerable confusion
among the members, who tried to find their
own particular SLOUGH hat. There were so
many OF them, and they all looked so near
~ alike, that many took the wrong hat.
Naturally each one, not being able to find
his own selected the best one left.
General Dick of Ohio who has worn one
of these hats for a long time, was among
the last to go after his headgear, and found
only two left on the hooks, neither of which
was the one he had left there in the morn
ing. He was obliged TO take one of these or
go bareheaded. on Tuesday there was a
general roundup of hats and members and
General Dick found that Representative
Cushman. of Washington, had taken off his
hat. When he called the attention of the
Washington State representative to the
fact Mr.. Cushman laughed and said: well,
that explains a mystery which has both
cred me for the last twenty-four hours"
Then he explained: "As soon as 1 put on

Market DemoraIized.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The local copper
market is demoralized. The Metals Selling
Company reduced prices / cent TO Ia cents
to-day. The street looks for a further re-
duction. 1t is said the company has been
making contracts for great deal of copper
at prices even lower than covered by to-
days reduction. Everybody seems 20 be at
sea regarding the future of the market.
Reports current that the reduction was
made as a move in the copper stock war
were denied by parties who are on the in
side. The decline was evidently made to
try to get prices down to a free selling
level, or in other words, to a commercial
basis. The local prices are now as follows:
Lake, 15ss615ss cents; electrolytic, 15G1514
cents; casting, 10 cents The London cop
per market fell off 10 shillings to-day thus
making a new low record for recent years
Spot and futures were quoted at $50.

COPPER KINGS AT WAR
ANOTHER DROP IN THE PRICE OF
RIO TINTO COMPANY SHARES.
In timation that Rockefeller VIII BE
Defeated If He Throws Down
the Gauntlet to ROthschiId.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The directors of the
Rio Tinto Company have been meeting here
daily. though quite Informally, since the
copper crisis became acute. 1t was said
after to-days meeting that whatever set
Element may be arrived at now lies entire
ly with the Amalgamated Copper Company.
The Rio Tinto Company has made all the
propositions which it intends to make, but
so far has received no indication of the ac-
ton the Amalgamated Copper Company
proposes to take A feeling prevails that
the conditions will not be altered at pres
ent.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that If Mr.
Rockefeller has really thrown down the
gauntlet to the Rothschilds, which the pa
per thinks improbable, there can be little
doubt of the Rothschilds' victory. The Pail
Mall Gazette adds: THE Rio Tinto Com
pany is in a position to regard with
equanimity a further drop of 20 shillings
per ton, but not so the Standard Oil Com
pany, who have to consider the possibility
of general smash of the American mar

Rio Tintos fell q at the opening to-day,
but subsequently regained this and slightly
improved on last nights price. The copper
market is still governed by mysterious in
fluence, the genesis of which even the deal
ers are unable to fathom. II is said TO be
remarkable that, in spite of the selling
pressure, coupled with the gloomy reports
from New York, the price Of the standard
grade has only shrunk shillings per ton.
The first change in the price to-day was
when 1,200 tons were sold at 952 for all
dates up to Feb. 2S, and at ESQ to e51.15 for
the three months. The heaviest selling was
from fresh quarter. 1t excited curiosity,
but explanation was forthcoming. II is
believed in many quarters that the most
important London houses consider the pres
ent prices to be justified by the great ex-
pansion and consumption of recent years,
and that consequently, thew are willing to
lay in considerable stocks II the neghbor-
hood of $50 which they would not have at
so. Thus the market is sustained by quiet
absorption of the most tempting offers.

estate claimed by the friars on the pay
ment OF fair indemnity, to be awarded by

The recognition of the friars' property

out OF a perplexing situation.
