OF private ownership. and not under the
control of the British government, and
have not the character OF military or
naval transports. Chalmette was not .
military camp or post, nor il base OF
military supplies. as the terms are de-
fined by standard military authorities
nor in any sense, save such as would
make Touring mill or packing house
a base of military supplies. If -four or
canned meat were shipped from either
through series of months to any bellig-
erent power Chalmette was simply a
shipping station for the loading and
shipping of mules. Physically. the sta
ton consisted OF half of set of build
ings which did not differ from the other
half of the same set, which was not
hired by the British authorities, the
buildings of this unhired half being con-
tinued in their former use"
Mr.. Hay next addresses himself to the
law in the matter. and says our duty in
such transactions has been laid down
again and again. He quotes from the
declaration of Thomas Jefferson, then
Secretary OF State, at the time of the
hcstil!ties between England and France
Our citizens have always been free to
make, vend, ana export arms. To sup
press their callings because a war exists
in foreign and distant countries in which
we have no concern, would hardly be
expected"

Hamilton. President Pierce. Chief JUS

cited.

The President understands and insists
that the second rule of article 6sdoes
not prevent the open sale of Ards or
other military supplies, etc 81.
In conclusion Mr.. Hay says: pThe
President regards it as evident, in view
OF the quotations given above. that
what was asked for by Mr.. Pearson was
the reversal OF the consistent policy OF
the United States since the formation
of our Government. The right of our
citizens to sell horses and mules. and TO
ship them from New Orleans to any
other port is as undoubted as their right
to ship -four and meat, whether for the
use of civilians or soldiers of the coun-
try of either belligerent. There is no
shadow OF excuse for the claim tina:
there has been any violation of the du-
ties and obligations OF neutrality on the
part of this nation"

provisions. They were not only inef-
fectual, in his opinion. but the pre-
sumption established that the Presi-
dent was always in the discharge of his
official duties was unconstitutional, be-
ing a physical impossibility.
The bill was approved by Mr.. Will
liams Dem, M!ss.). who said he saw
in it nothing either unconstitutional or
undemocratic. IL made uniform
throughout the United States the pun
ishment for the crime, and gave the
Federal courts jurisdiction to try per-
sons charged with its violation. Meth
er of these he had any reluctance to
see done.
Mr.. Grow. the venerable ex-Speaker
of the House. briefly supported the bill.
The assassination of the President, he
said, was the greatest crime possible,
and ought to be stamped upon the stat
ute book. 1t was not only the taking
of human life. but 1t was blow at
the very existence of the Republic it
self.

Objection to the bill as reported by
the committee was expressed by MT.
Crumpacker (Rcp.. Ind, for the rea-
son that it imposed such limitations
and restrictions about the commission
of the crime as to seriously embarrass,

Representative Graham (Rep., Pa
favored an amendment to protect the
President at all times. whether engaged
in the performance Of his official du
ties or not He would, however. sup
port the bill in case that amendment
was not adopted. He advocated drastic
measures for the suppression of an
archy.
The bill was further discussed briefly
by Messrs McDermott Dem. n. j.,

Officials Unable to Ac-
count for Publicity of
Documents.
SEARCH WITHOUT RESULT
Attempt to Find the Person Who Gave
to Senator CulbeTsou Papers in Ar
mold Case Not at All Successful
Further Investigation.

The investigation begun at the War
Department for the purpose of To-
eating the channel through which
Senator Culberson obtained the official
papers in the case of Lieutenant Arnold
vas continued yesterday by Secretary
Root. The President and the Secretary
of War discussed the matter, and today
decision will be reached as TO the adj
visibility OF making all the papers pub
lie.
II is declared by the War Department
officials that Senator CuIberson has made
public only those papers that appear
damaging to Lieutenant Arnold, and
that If he has other papers in the case
he must have purposely withheld them.
In view of this it may be determined to
give to the public the complete record
OF the matter.
1t is explained that Senator Culber-
son has tried to make out case against
Lieutenant Arnold, based on charges by
q private soldier, and partial investi-
CATION by Capt Parker W. West, whose
report, it is claimed, was incomplete
and not conclusive.
Investigation Started.
The Judge Advocate General and Sec
rotary Root, after receiving the charges
ana Captain Vests report. agreed that
it was only fair TO Lieutenant Arnold
that an officer make a thorough investi-
cation before deciding upon court
martial. Col. Enoch Crowder, of the
Judge Advocate Generals department,
was directed 10 conduct the inquiry.
Tie record in the case. it is claimed,
slows the basis for this action, and
Senator Culberson is charged with ignor-
ing this, and presenting in the Senate
only those portions of the record as re-
fected upon Lieutenant Arnold.
According to the War Department Of
ficials, however, Senator Culberson's ac-
tion is OF far less Importance 10 the
army than the now admitted existence
of a leak in the War Department. The
frequency with which certain Senators
have shown knowledge of matters I'M
der confidential adyisement has FOR some
time been commented on. Information
Of a secret nature has been known al
the Capitol almost before the ink was
dry on the document. The contents OF
reports believed TO be in trustworthy
hands have become public in some I'M
known manner.
Report of Gardener.
Not before the Culberson incident,
though, was anyone in the Senate de-
Iiberately offered a document copied YER
batim from the official files without the
authority for doing so. When General
Miles revealed the existence of the
Gardener charges. which had been re-
ferred to Governor Taft, he did so in
an official paper to the Secretary of
War, but the Arnold case is said to be
totally different, inasmuch as the papers
were supplied surreptitiously. So far
the investigation has resulted in no

There are good reasons for believing that
the movement is due TO manipulation by

the estimated gain which was based on the
