Senator Vest denied the oft-repeated
story of the Hampton Roads COLI
ference between President Lincoln and
the delegates of the confederacy when
it was alleged that Lincoln said if he
might write the word union" they
might fill in any other terms. Senator
Vest said that John H. Reagan, the
last surviving member of the con-
federate cabinet, had denied the
story and he himself, the last sur
| viving member of the confederate
| senate, could assert that it was not
true. He asserted that Lincoln told
/ the delegates nothing but uncon.

| The details of that conference were
given him by Alexander H. Stephens.

Cecil Rhodes a Hero of Romance

Cecil Rhodes was scarcely laid to
rest in his beloved south African hills
before announcement sprang up on
every side of works of fiction based
upon his romantic career. Anthony
Hopes The God in the Car, published
some time before the death of Mr..
Rhodes, undoubtedly has reference to
the colossus OF south Africa but it in
no sense purports to be the story of
his career, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. The wonderfully dramatic
story of the most remarkable man
the British nation has produced in d
generation must appeal strongly to
every dabbler in fiction, but to portray
it is task for a genius of che first
class, and one which can scarcely be
accomplished until the mistg of de-
Ginning years have thrown their haze
OF romance around he rugged. vet
kindly character. In those DAYS per
haps we shall have a great novel on a
great subject, but now-let us keen
our shillings for a better investment
than Rhodes romance.

Washington, May THE discussion
o. the Philippines bill in the senate
took a sensational turn again. Sena-
tor McComas Of Maryland, referring
to the alleged cruelties Of American
soldiers in the Philippines, told of
some cruelties which occurred on both
sides during the civil war Neither
side, he held, was responsible for
these occurrences. as neither side ap-
proved of them. War, he said. was
necessarily cruel. He suggested that

Washington, May 8.-The discussion
OF the philippine bill in the senate,
while it scarcely abated in bitterness.
took on an amusing phase. In a
breezy speech Senator Dolliver of
Iowa made such a good-natured and
yet such sarcastic arraignment of
Senator Carmack Of Tennessee that
the senators and occupants of the
galleries were convulsed with LAUGH
ter. While seemingly considerable
temper was aroused by the debate,
good-feeling was shown by the active
participants in the war of words
Dolliver and Carmack-who cordially
shook hands and laughed over the
encounter. Senator Burton of Kansas
concluded his speech. He referred, as
instances of atrocious cruelty, to the
battles of Wounded Knee, the Noun
tain Meadow massacre and the mas
sacre of union soldiers at Fort Pillow
and contended that the action OF
American troops in the Philippines
was, in most instances, entirely with

Washington, May 10-A lively de-
bate took place in the senate upon
the amendment to the army appropria-
ton bill offered by Senator Bailey of
Texas providing that no part of the
appropriations made by the measure
should be used in defraying the ex-
penses of the special embassy to the
coronation of King Edward. Senator
Bailey cOntended that the United
States should not send a special en-
bassadOr to the coronation of Enc
lands king or the coronation Of any
other ruler when a country thus
hOnored did not extend a like cour-
tesy to the United States on the in
auguratiOn Of president. After con-
siderable discussion the amendment
was withdrawn and the bill passed.
Subsequently Senator Bailey offered a
resolution which will be considered
later covering the point made in his
amendment.

Washington, May 9.-An effort was
made in the senate to fix the time for
a vote on the Philippine bill but it
was unsuccessful. The minority said
many senators still desired to speak
and it would not be proper to deter
mine at this time upon the vote.
Senator Teller occupied considerable
time in opposition to the measure. He
contended that the Filipinos were cap
fishing a government equal to some
European governments.
Opposition in the house to the bill
for the admission of Oklahoma, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico collapsed at
the last minute and the bill was
passed without division. The real
test came on an amendment offered
by Mr. Overstreet of Indiana to join
New Mexico and Arizona and admit
them as the state of MOnteZuma. II
was beaten 20 to 106. All opposition
then ceased. The closing scenes OF
the debate were accompanied by a
| dramatic incident which narrowly es,

of Arizona, who has been fighting for
the admission of his territory for a
| dozen years, had just made vigor-
Gus speech against the Overstreet
amendment, when he was seized with
a rush of blood to his head. He later
rallied and was removed to hotel
The bill provides that the constitu-
tional convention of New Mexico is
empowered to designate the name
by which the new state shall enter
the union and in the case of Okla
homa the convention by irrevocable
ordinance shall consent that con
gress may at any further time attach
