Suffolk. Va, April 2.-Knowing the
feeling against Thomas Early, VINO con-
fessed attempted assault upon sixteen
year-old Pearl Perry at Ryland, North
Carolina, not wishing to lose time by
waiting for formal requisition papers
and fearing to take the responsibility
of releasing him from Virginia, Sheriff
Baker this morning talked with Cover
nor Montague by telephone and got au-
thority to accompany the prisoner 20 the
North Carolina line.
Deputy Sheriff Robinson had come
here from Edenton to bring the accused
and he insisted upon having him. Ac-
cordingly Baker and Robinson removed
Early from the Portsmouth, Va, jail
this afternoon and left for Edenton at
o clock from Norfolk No trouble was
expected on that route.
Deputy Robinson this morning indi-
Gated to the enraged people near the
scene Of assault that Early would be
brought by Ryland, and the officers
hoped that the ruse would insure quiet
removal by another course and that the
rapist would he landed in Edenton prison
safe.
Early has made subsequent confess
sion, in which he gave details and de-
clared he could not tell why the crime
was done He escaped the mob that
night by going south to Center Hill and
then doubling towards Virginia, where he
was taken yesterday.

has charge of the situation, says will be
sufficient to protect Early from lynch
ers.
The sheriff said tonight there may be
an effort at lynching. There was no
demonstration to speak of en- route from
Norfolk to Edenton, since the train did
not go near the scene of the crime
Early will be tried tomorrow. Superior

heard a speech which had so fired his
fancy, so appealed to his imagination and
had had so little effect upon his judg-
ment as that of Mr.. Bailey. He said that
if a merchant deceived his customers by
foisting upon them a fraud he believed
that man ought to be reached by law. 1t
was perfectly evident that no industry
with a good article could compete sue
cessfully with a spurious substitute with
which the people were deceived.
Mr. Depew referring to an allusion
made by Mr.. Bailey, said that the Ameri-
can girl had been put in wrong posi-
tion before the people of the United
States.
Il forgot for the moment" interjected
Mr.. Bailey. "a recent occurrence in the
life of the Senator from New York, Or I
should not have made the allusion."
Oaughter).
"And but for that occurrence" retort-
ed Mr.. Depew, laughing as he spoke. II
should have left a younger man to come
to the defense of the American girl. 1t
was the Senator's youth and beauty (great
laughter) which astonished me when he
made that remark. II he had been
soured and disappointed in love, or if
the sex had treated him in some way
that would lead him to remark about it
like that, l should understand him. But
no one can meet the Senator, no one can
see him socially, or in his grave and
digniHed position: no one can see his
photograph on Pennsylvania Avenue
without recognizing that his geniality,
his happiness, his eloquence, have come
because the American girl has admired
him and loved him." (Long continued
laughter)
"And he never ought to have gone
back on her today by saying she is a
fraudulent specimen of living oleomar-
garine." (Laughter).
Mr. Bailey and Mr.. Spooner became in
volved in a colluquy as to some legal
phases of the bill. "Will the Senator
from Wisconsin say" inquired Mr..
Bailey, that the object of this bill is to
raise reyenue?" sE>N
Il say that the object of this bill is to
raise revenue" replied Mr.. Spooner. I'm
other words, / say that in the exercise
of the discretion which the Constitution
gives us, we select this article as an OBJ
ject of taxation"
But is It (the raising of revenue) the,
paramount object?" inquired Mr.. Stew
art (Nevada.)
1T is the primary object" replied Mr..
Spooner
But not the paramount object" per-
sisted the Nevada Senator.
The Senate at 450 went into executive
session and at $40 adjourned.

the consolidation of the existing commits
sions in charge of the several national
parks.
Mr. Parker On. j., raised a point of
order against this provision, insisting that
this subject was properly under the juris-
diction of the Military Affairs Commit

provision applying to the appropriations
for national park commissions and it was
adopted:
mo portion Of the foregoing sums for
national military parks shall be used dur
ing the fiscal year 1868 for the payment of
more than one commission for service in

CARE OF CONFEDERATE GRAVES.
Bryan Thinks If Would be Unwise to Make it
Campaign Issue
(By the Associated Press.)


Chattanooga, Tenn, April 2.-Hon. r.
I. Hood of this city, president of the
Bryan Club, today received a letter from
Hon. w. ]. Bryan in response to an in
quiry for an opinion on the proposed
campaign issue.
In his letter Mr.. Bryan says:
Il am afraid that so long as l live
will be accused of having ambition; how
ever, the fact~that l am editing a paper
and exposing the re-Organizers ought to
convince people that l am not planning
for personal preferment. While l believe
that the Democratic party would quite
generally be in favor of the taking care
OF Confederate graves along with the
graves of Union soldiers, l am satisfied
that If it were put forth as a campaign
issue it would arouse a bitterness which
might delay reforms far more important
to the Southern people. The care of the
Confederate graves is patriotic duty
and one that the Southern people would
not be willing to have entirely turned
over to the Federal authorities and there
are certain great reforms which are of
great pecNniary value to the people of
the South and which might be lost sight
of in condition that long ago ought to
have been forgotten"

DEPEW AND BAILEY IN DEBATE.
Wit on the Subject of the American Girl Sets
Senators to Laughing.
(By the Associated Press J

Washington, April 2.-Discussion of the
Oleomargarine Bill in the Senate today
was enlivened by two or three bright col
loquies between. Senator'S. Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas, concluded his speech in opposition
to the measure. He. was followed by Mr..
Depew, of New York, who in the course
of his remarks. matched his wit with that
of Mr. Bailey on the subject of the Ameri-
can girl. The salles of the two Senator'S
were greeted with shouts of laughter
Bills were passed providing that ses-
sions of the United States District Court
shall be held at Winston, N. c., on the
second Monday of July and January of
each year, authorizing the construction of
a traffic bridge across the Savannah River
from the mainland within the corporate
limits of Savannah to Hutchnson's Island
in Chatham county, Georgia; to extend the
time for presentation of claims to reim-
burse the Governors of States and Terri
tories for expenses incurred by them in
aiding the United States to raise and or
ganize an army in the War with Spain
to January LIST, 1908, and seventy-one pri-
yate pension bills.
Consideration then was resumed of the
Oleomargarine Bill.
Mr.. Bailey conceded the right of Con-
gress to enact the proposed bill as
revenue measure and every Senator who
supported the measure to raise revenue
was entirely within his conscience and
his oath of office but if any Senator should
vote for it to suppress the oleomargarine
industry he would do violence to his
sense of duty and to his obligations of
Office
He declared that the purpose of the
bill was not to raise revenue.
He maintained that the proposed bill
contained palpable and even wicked vio-
lation of the Constitution in the placing
of tax upon the article manufactured
and sold within a State.
Mr.. Bailey sharply arraigned the cream
cries and cheese factories of the country,
the former of which he said, was the
real hacker of the legislation proposed.
He could understand. he said, the Re-
publican policy of protection of industries,
but this new policy TO legislate for the
destruction of industries was entirely in
comprehensive to him.

among competing manufacturers.

Montague vetoes the Bill.
CBv the Associated P,ess.l }


Richmond, Va. April 2.-Tonight Gov
ernor Montague sent a message to the
General Assembly vetoing the Congress
sional Apportionment Bill. The Governor
cites the act of Congress of January
18th, 1901. and the article of the Vir-
ginia Constitution regarding Congress
sional e-apportionment, and says:
Thus it is manifest that the object
of apportionment is the equalization Of
population ard the compactness of area
of the several districts, and unless these
fundamental requirements are met, the
apportionment is without lawful sanction.
In my judgment, the bill under consid-
GRAFTON fails to meet either of these
requirements.
The Governor then points specifically
where, in his opinion, this failure comes
in, and says that as Virginia is not en-
titled to an increase of representation in
Congress, the failure to make an appor-
tionment will not disturb her represe1-
taton.
