Washington, Feb. 5.-During the de-
bate in the senate yesterday ON the bill

made calculated to reduce TO Il mini
mum confidence in human judgment.
The bill was passed and simply in
creases the pay of United States
judges % per cent. During the debate
Monday the case of Judge NOyes, Of
Alaska. was brought up as an argu-
ment against increasing the pay of the
iurists. This judge was found guilty
of contempt of court and heavily
mulct2d in a fine, while the United
States judge at San Francisco gave
him Il severe heart-tO-heart talk in
giving his decision. Yesterday Hans

Judge NOyes.
Hansbrough Defends Judge Noyes.
He declared that Judge Noyes was
one of the leading lawyers of Mime
sofa. He had been appointed to his
position on the recommendation of the
late Senator Davis and others, who
had the utmost confidence in him.
HansbrOugh expressed his personal
the only charge for which Judge NOyes
had been brought before the circuit
court of appeals in San Francisco was
contempt OF court.
Tillman, citing the proceedings be
fore the San Francisco court. declared
that either the judges of that court
Were unworthy OF their places or Judge
Noyes and his associates in the con-
tempt proceedings were
Hoar Inclined To BE NIercifuI
Hear. stating that he knew little of
the merits of the case, told the senate
what information had come TO him as
chairman of the Judiciary committee.
He said that the late Senator Davis.
of Minnesota. who knew Judge NoycS
thoroughly, had held him in the high
est regard, and he felt that the judg
ment cf Davis. as 4 profound lawyer
and man of distinguished ability and
sterling integrity. was worthy Of high
consideration. He concluded 10y con
occurring that when these senators
who applied harsh names to Judge
NOyes became familiar with all the
facts of the case they would withdraw
the terms they had applied to him.
TilIman To Read the Record.
Tillman desired to have printed in
the record the decision of the circuit
court OF appeals of san Francisco in
the contempt ease against NoyeS, but
this WAS barred on an objection. Then
I Will read IL TO the senate in the

How to Negotiate.
London. Feb. J.-The British reply
to the Dutch premier. who made peace
proposals relative to South Africa, was
read in parliament yesterday. is dated
Jan. -. and iS as follows. as TO its
material portions:
Sir: You were good enough to lay
before me. Jan. -. Il communication
from the Netherlands government in
which it was proposed that, with the
object of bringing the war TO an end,
his majeSty'S government might grant
4 safe conduct to the Boer delegates
now in Holland, for the purpose of en-
abling them to confer with the Boer
leaders i'm South Africa. 1t is suggest
ed that. after 4 conference. the dele
gates might return to Europe with
power to conclude a treaty of peace
with this country"
LmsdOwne says he infers that the
Netherlands is making the proposition
on its own responsibility and has no
authority from the Beers. He then
says that while entirely appreciative
of the motives of the Netherlands gov
ernment his majesty's government
feels that it must adhere to the posi-
tion adopted and publicly announced
by them some months after the COM
lllelCelutlI OI nOSliillieS ~ lic bOtiS
that it is not their intention to accept
the Intervention of any foreign power
in the South African war.
should the Boer delegates them
selves desire to lay request for a safe
conduct before his majesty's govern
ment there is no reason why they
should not do so. 1 may,
therefore. point out that it is not at
present clear to his majesty's govern
ment that the delegates retain any in
fiuence over the representatives of the
Beers in South Africa. or have any
voice in their councils. They are
stated by the Netherlands government
to have no such letters of credence or
instruction of later date than March,
1900.
Mis- majesty's government, on the
other hand, understood that all the
powers of government including those
of negotiation. were now completely
vested in Mr.. Steyn. for the Beers of
the Orange River Colony, and Mr.
Schalk- Burger for those of the Trans
yaal. If this is so. it is evident that
the quickest and most satisfactory
means of arranging settlement would
be by direct communication between

COMES AS SURPRISE TO cORBIN
That Statement of Lee as to Our Chief
Horse Expert.


Horse Expert.
Washington. Feb. J.-<Adjutaut Cen
cral Corbin was questioned yesterday
i'm regard TO Colonel Lees statement in
parliament about having been offered
the services of the chief horse expert
of the United States army in securing
horses in this country for South Africa
and said that this was the first that he
(COrbin) had heard of it What he
did know as Il fact was that there had
been no correspondence on the part OF
the adjutant generals office with Col.
Lee or any one else to warrant the
statement that the United States had
assisted the British operations in South
Africa by the shipment Of horses or
any other way.
Moreover. General CorDin said, he
did not Know what was meant by the
expression ''chief hOHse expert" there
being no such office i'm the United
States military service. 1t is suggest
ed that Colonel Lee referred to one OF
the large army contractors who supply
the United States cavalry with mounts.
The horse scandal in the British
army is that the sellers of horses pur-
chased in Hungary for the army made
a clear profit of about half the amount
paid for the horses. which fact. whetil-
er the result of rascality or inefficiency,
culated to cause the army TO lose every
shred of confidence of the British peo-
pie which it now possesses,
