POWER Is ANGRY
Montreal Thinks He Will Tell Who
Is Back of Him. ... -


Montreal, Aug. 19.-Peter Power and
Lawyer Lamb left here last night for New
York. Great influence was brought to
bear upon Power to have him remain
away from New York. He was in receipt
of many letters, including one from his
mother, and another from his brother and
others from influential friends behind
him. Notwithstanding these admonitions,
Lamb induced his client to return.
Power is very angry at the evidence
given by many persons during his abb
sence. Both Power and Lamb assert that
they were dragged into the Northern Pa
cifc case by wealthy men to serve their
own purpose. Power, 1t is said, has
determined to return and make a full
breast of his connection with the whole
affair. IA. %t nA " FL

looked for concerning the identity of the
men behind Powers suit against the
Northern Pacific to prevent the retire
ment of its preferred stock and to hamper
the merger that resulted in the formation
of the Northern Securities company.

Recurring to the remarkable prediction of
the cabinet officer to the impossibility
of inducing congress to make, any changes
whatsoever in the tariff schedules, am con-
strained to believe that he has mistaken his
viewpoint He seems to look upon congress
as the master of the American people, where
as, have been accustomed to consider con-
gress as the representative or servant or the
American people.
The voters of the United States advise
themselves and draw their own conclusions,
and my observation is that, when they make
known their wishes to those whom they have
selected to represent them in congress-, diff
culties disappear and action begins.
What have said of members Of congress
is Just as true and pertinent of every depart
ment of the government, and you can de-
pend on it, if the people want duty taken
off, and say so, it will be taken off. 1 be-
lieve the Iowa platform is a conservative
statement Of the republican position. 1t is
lucid, it is strong, and 1t is right; and
cannot but think that the attempt to dis
credit the whole or any part of it Is most
unwise. -
CThe tariff resolutions adopted by the Iowa
republican convention were as follows: we
stand by the historic policy Of the republican
party In giving protection to home industries.
and point for its ample vindication to the
extraordinary rapdity with which our ma
tional resources have been developed and our
| industrial and financial independence secured
| We favor such changes in the tar1t, from
time to time, as become advisable through the
| progress of our industries and their changing
| relations to the commerce of the world. we
| 1ndorse the policy Of reciprocity as the nat
| ural complement Of protection and urge It's
development as necessary to the realization
| or ON. highest commercial possibilities"

both SENATOR'S
10 BIZ PUNISHED
Committee on Privileges Dis
cuSSOS the Episode
Details and Degree Of Tie Punishment
Undecided Matter Left to
Subcommittee

Washington, Feb. 27.-Again yester-
day afternoon the galleries of the SEN
ate were thronged with spectators,
when that body convened. All were
anticipating a reopening OF the discus
sion Of the controversy respecting the
rights Of Senators McLa,irin and Till
man, of South Carolina, who came to
blows last Saturday in the chamber,
to participate in the proceedings Of the
body while under the ban of contempt.
Mr.. Burrows, Of Michigan, chairman Of,
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, was recognized. He said that
the committee was in the midst of the
consideration OF a very important
question, a decision upon which had
not been reached. By instruction of
the committee he therefore moved that
the senate adjourn. Without objection
the motion was carried and the senate
adjourned.
The committee on privileges contin-
ued its consideration of the Tillman-
McLaurin episode yesterday afternoon,
but reached no conclusion beyond de-
Gliding to refer the entire matter to
subcommittee and to meet again to-
morrow to consider any recOmmenda-
tion made by the subcommittee. The
session lasted three hours. and after
the Democratic members took their de-
parture the Republicans continued the
sitting. The meeting Of the full COM
mittee was devoted to Il general ex-
change OF views. No vote was taken
on any proposition; indeed, no propo-
sition was made by either the ma
jority or the minority. There was en-
tire agreement on the one point that
both the South Carolina senators
should be punished, but there was dis
agreement on the details of punish
ment, as well as on the degree Of it.
The senators had before them full re-
ports Of the speeches Of both the sena-
tors, making careful comparisons of
their language.
A half-dozen different suggestions
were made as to modes Of punishment,
including suspension and censure by
the senate, and censure, with the add
ed requirement Of further apologies
from the offenders. There also was q
continued discussion Of the relative
punishment of the two men. Most oi
the Republican members Of the com
mittee hold that to Senator Tillmar
should be awarded a more severe form
OF rebuke than to Senator McLaurin
while the Democrats do not generally
concede there should be discrimina
tion.
When the committee adjourned it,
members professed to be hopeful tha
unanimous agreement would b.
reached. The Subcommittee appoint
ed is composed Of Senators Burrows
Hoar and Foraker, Republicans, ant
Senators Pettius and Bailey, Demo
Gratis. This subcommittee will NEE
and make an effort to frame a resolu
ton for the action of full committee
which will meet again tomorrow.
