DRIFT OF OPINION.

Senator Elkins is son ewhat
right when he says President Roose-
velt's message to congress on Cuban
reciprocity is applying the water
cure to congress"
The friction between the civil
and military governments in the Phil
ippines is still smoudering, though
the home administration has ordered
them To get together.
a billion-dollar congress start
led the country a few years ago; a
two billion congress now seems prob
able. In the former case "A democratic
victory was the result. What will the
harvest be this year?
These breakfasts at Hanna's
house, attended by the president and
his hackers, look very much like an
attempt upon the part of Hanna to
tie up Mr. Roosevelt as he attempted
to lasso the labor leaders.
President Roosevelt has given
congress another sand-bagging on
Cuban reciprocity, but the last week
does not offer any new inducement
over what he said in his former mes
sage. Republican congressman are
not generally mulish. and hate to get
out of touch with the pie-counter.
This congress i, nearing adj
journment,and, like the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, has done nothing to lower the
tariff on trust productions, which Mr.
Hanna says keep on letting well
enough alone" This may be, well
enough for the foreigners who can
buy the trust articles cheaper than
we can. but, then, republican rule
comes high, if we mast have it.

Mr.. John w. Gates testified that his
trust supplies two-thirds Of all nails

1t may be that the farmers and la
borers of this country are proud of
this trust, and contribute willingly to
swell its profits to unheard of figures.
1t may be that they envy the foreign
ers who get our trust goods cheap
and have no home trust to match
ours. 1t may be that they Still think
of our steel trust as an infant that
could not get along without its tariff
pap. 1t may be that they will vote to
increase tariff duties and TO add more
millions TO the steel trusts profits

SENATE NOT APPEASED
TILLMAN AND MLAURIN MUST MAKE
MORE AMPLE AMENDS.
Exact Nature of Their Punishment (
Not Determined-NO Haste VIII
Be Made I'm Settling 1t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The topic of
chief interest in senatorial circles to-day
and in fact everywhere in official Wash
ington, was the fight in the Senate yester-
day between Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin. of South Carolina. There have
been a number OF conferences among sena-
the dignity of the Senate and to manifest
it's sentiment with reference to the two SEN
ators who violated its traditions. While 10
plan of procedure has been agreed on, il is
learned that there will be very deliberate
action and it is said TO be more than likely
that it will be not less than thirty days be-
fore the South Carolina senators are re-
stored TO their full power as senators, this
deliberation on their case being in the ma
ture of punishment since they will not be
allowed to address the Senate or vote until
no longer in contempt of the Senate.
Senator Burrows is chairman OF the
committee on privileges and elections, and
tonight he said that. in advance of any
meeting of the committee. he could not say
what would be done, but he added that the
matter is of such serious import that IL
must receive careful consideration. 1t will
be a day two before the committee
meets 10 take uD the resolution referred
to IL by the Senate.
1t is understood the conferences among
senator's have shown the existence of a
considerable sentiment that the apologies
made by the South Carolina senators are
not deemed sufficient and that the com
mittee require other and more ample
apologies TO be submitted 10 IL i'm writing
with the assurance that such apologies will
be made to the Senate before a report will
be made TO the effect that the senators
have sufficiently purged themselves OF the
contempt of which the Senate has ad-
judged them guilty.
The whole matter. as stated in Senate
debate yesterday, is without precedent. and
the Senate is now 10 make a precedent In
the matter OF punishment and in requiring
sufficient apology. The conferences to-day
developed the fact that the senators re-
gard the matter with all the seriousness
with which they dealt with II yesterday
and that they intend 10 lake such action
will prevent. if possible. similar episodes
occurring in the future.
Neither Senator Tillman nor Senator Nc
Laurin was disposed TO enter into any dis
cussion to-day regarding the happenings
in the Senate yesterday. Senator Tillman.
however did say. in reply 20 questions as
ments in the case, that nothing has Oc-
Cured. $50 far as my own purposes are
concerned / am simply awaiting develop
ments and will act I'm accordance with my
judgment as they unfold themselves"
Mr. McLaurin declined TO make any
statement whatever.

PHILIPPINE TARIFF Bill
1T WILL BE VOTED ON IN THE SEN
ATE THIS AFTERNOON.
Prince Henry Probably VIII BE Pres
ent-Status of Irrigation and Sub
sidy Measures-Lower House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-In accordance
with the agreement heretofore reached, the
Senate will begin voting at o'clock to-
morrow on the Philippine tariff bill. All
the time of the days session previous to
that hour Will be devoted TO brief speeches
for and against the bill. the time to be di-
vided between the supporters and the op-
ponents of the bill. The opinion has been
advanced that yesterdays episode between
Senators Tillman and McLaurln might have
the effect Of causing a postponement of the
time for taking the vote in order to permit
senators TO speak who have desired TO do
so. but there is no probability of any
change of programme. The Senate regards
a unanimous consent agreement very
sacredly and never allows anything to in
terfere with it.
According TO the present programme
Prince Henry will be a witness of part of
the ceremony of taking the vote on the
Philippine bill. and he will be allowed TO
observe it either from the floor of the SEN
ate or from the gallery. as he may prefer
Probably all the members Of the Senate will
be presented TO him. but it is not intended
that his presence shall interfere i'm any way
with the prosecution of business of the
Senate.
The irrigation bill now holds the place of
vantage the Senate calendar, next to
the Philippine bill, and probably will re-
ceive the attention of the Senate after the
Philippine bill Is out OF the way There is
however. some impatience on the part of
the friends of the ship subsidy bill over the
present arrangement, and If the irrigation
bill should consume a great deal of time
there may be an effort 10 displace it. All
will depend on the action of the Repub-
lican steering committee
The bill making appropriations for Con-
gress and the different departments of the
government will be reported 10 the Senate
during the week and probably will be taken
up for action the next day after IL is re-
ported.
On Thursday the Senate will unite with
the House in the ceremonies in honor of
the memory OF President Mckinley.

Spencer Eddy Says Macedonians
Wanted Money to Aid Revolt.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Spencer Eddy,
first secretary of the United States lega-
ton at Constantinople, who had charge of
the negotiations for the release of Miss
Ellen NJ Stone and Nine. Tsilka, arrived
here to-day on the Kronprinz Wilhelm.
In an interview he said the brigands cap
tured an American rather than any other
missionary, because they believed the
Americans had the most money, and would
be likely to pay the ransom.
Did the brigands want the money for
themselves" Mr. Eddy was asked
mo, they did not, and that is where the
people in America don't understand this
case. 1t is entirely political matter, and
all the people in Macedonia are in sympa-
thy with the kidnapping. for they believe it
is a step toward freeing Macedonia from
Turkish rule, the same as Bulgaria has
BEEN and the money they demanded
(S100, ,000) was intended for the Macedonian
cause.
'Tf we had been dealing with the profess
sional brigands who wanted money pure
and simple instead of the political ones
Miss Stone would have been released long
ago. 1t is very likely that this capture
was deliberated upon for a long time, and
the victims selected were considered best
TO serve the cause, when compared with
those of other natonalitieS"
do the Macedonians have any feeling of
enmity towards the missionaries?'
No, they are rather friendly TO them
than other wise. They desired to attract the
attention of the world to their cause and
incidentally to get some much-needed
money. | have every reason TO believe they
have given Miss Stone and her companion
in captivity the very best of treatment
When Nine. Tsilka's baby was born she
received the kindest of treatment, from all
learn.
Il have had five letters from Miss Stone
written
read them, and they were Masterpieces i'm
cleverness and diplomacy. Miss Stone is
very coura geOus woman"
Won't Turkey attempt TO punish the
ringleaders?"
Turkey will have a problem on her
hands II she does, for the Macedonians
have risen UP one man in their deter
mination TO be freed from Turkey. and this
KIDNAPPING of the two American mission
aries may be called chapter one i'm their

News Received at Boston.

BOSTON, Feb. 23.-Dr. Judson Smith, one
of the secretaries of the American board,
called at the residence of Mrs. Benjamin
Stone. mother of Ellen NJ. Stone. the mis-
sionary, in Chelsea, this afternoon, bring
ing a cablegram dated Salonika, Feb. g.
containing the word "safe," signed
Haskell"
DR.. Smith understands this dispatch to
indicate that Miss Stone, Madam Tsilka
and the latters baby have been delivered
into the hands of the American representa-
tives at Seres, Macedonia. The cablegram
is from Mr.. Edward B. Haskell, one of
the missionaries of the American board
stationed at Salonika.
Secretary Barton, of the American board,
has received the following cablegram con-
firmatory of the Associated Press dispatch
announcing the release of Miss Stone. 1t
was dated at Salonika and is unsigned:
Both Miss Stone and Madame Tsilka and
child released from confinement. In good
physical condition and good spirits"
Secretary Barton regards this news as
absolutely authentic, as the missionaries
of the board had been given instructions
TO send no cablegrams based mere re-
ports, but to wait until positive informa-
ton could be given.

MOVES TO BE DISMISSED
OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
KNOX IN ALASKA COURT CASE.
He Completely Demolishes the Posi-
tiOn Assumed by Judge NOyes and
Recommends His Dismissal.

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox has delivered to the President
his findings in the matter Of the charges
filed against Arthur II. Noyes, judge OF
the Second division of the United States
District Court for Alaska. The charges
allege incompetency and corruption, al
though. the attorney general says, the
charge of dishonesty was not pressed.
After reviewing the case at length the at
torney general concludes his report as fol-
lows:
Such was the end of this Nome litiga-
ton. out of which has sprung so much COM
plant. bitterness and public scandal After
review 1T remains that the actual conse-
quences OF these proceedings in the Alaska
District Court were to bring that court
into disrespect and to impair public conf
dence in its wise and impartial administra-
ton of justice. In view of the foregoing
and after the most careful consideration L
have concluded:
"First-That the appointment OF a re-
ceiver in the cases referred 10, without no.
tice to the defendants and the refusal
upon hearing, TO discharge the receiver
and the consequent dispossession OF the
defendants OF their property were not justi-
fled under the fact, the pleadings and the
principles of equity.
Second-That there is no justification
shown for the refusal by Judge Noyes to
settle a bill of exceptions at the instance of
the defendants and for the refusal to allow
them an appeal.
''Third-That after an appeal had been
allowed by the Circuit Court of Appeals
and the writ Of supersedeas had been
served upon Judge Noyes. the plaintiffs
and the receiver, Judge Noyes's attitude
toward the writ was one of hostility and
obstruction, which was totally inconsistent
with his judicial duty towards superior
court and toward the litigants seeking
action.
'Fourth-That Judge Noyes should forth
with be removed from Office"
The President will approve these findings
and promptly dismiss Judge Noyes from
office.

No One at Strumitza to Meet Them, as
1t Was Not Known Where
They Would BE Set Free.
PURELY A POLITICAL CRIME
SAYS SPENCER EDDY, OF THE CON-
STANTINOPLE LEGATION.
Macedonians Needed Money, and
Americans Had the MOst-His
Views of the Case.

CONSTANTINOPLE,F Feb. 23.-Miss Ellen
NJ. Stone, the American missionary, who,
with Mime. Tsilka., was captured by
brigands in the district Of Salonika on
Sept. 3 last, has been released, and arrived
at Strumitza, Macedonia, at o'clock this
morning.
Nobody was at Strumitza to meet Miss
Stone, as the brigands had given no indi-
cation where they proposed to release the
prisoners. Nine. Tsilka and her baby also
were released at the same time. They are
all well. Miss Stone Immediately made
herself known to the authorities of Stru-
mitza.
The first news of Miss Stones release was
contained in a telegram received by Mr.
Dickinson, the American consul general at
Constantinople, from the American vice
consul at Salonika. The telegram gives no
details OF the release.
As Strumitza is near the Salonika- Uskub
Railroad Miss Stone will proceed to Salon
ika without delay.
