TELLER NETTLEs sPOONER.

Teller referred to the influences be-
hind the bill. which he said were those
not only Of the sugar trust, but those
OF the executive officers.
Spooner declared that none of the
Senators had surrendered their inde-
pendence, and he did not consider such
3 charge as courteous TO fellow Sen
ators.
I resent" he said, the motion that
the executive can follow a bill into the
executive who violated his own Office
by invading other departments of the
government.
He added. however, that he. with
others, had resented the propaganda of
year ago in the interest of reciprocity
4 did not, he said, like to receive
communications from officers of the
United States serving in Cuba instruct
ing US as to our duty
Spooner also discussed the effect of
the adoption by Cuba of the Platt
amendment as part of the Cuban
constitution. and said il should remain
there forever for Cuba's own protec
ton, both as against foreign foes az I'd
against insurrection. He conteHied
that the Platt measure in no wise
derogated from Cuba's independence.
He expressed the opinion that the
United States owned the Isle 81 Pines.
The Cubans also thought ttley owned
it, he said. but we had noe opened a
bank account with the Goddess of Lib
erty when we freed Cube, and could
not afford to haggle like a shopkeeper
over matters with that republic.

OBJECTS TO TREf4TY METHOD.

Senator Hoar said lle did not, how
ever, believe in the IJ9licy of treaties af-
fecting the tariff, and contended that
direct legislation WAS easier of accom-
plishment than NE exchange of treat
les. Hoar also Ssid that because Of his
opposition to tbs method he had found
it difficult TO Secure his own assent to
support the /bilI. He objected to the
claim. that PROMISES had been made to
Cuba -anCI confessed that he had not
looked with favor upon the statement
made by the President in his message
to the 9fiect that failure to. pass the
bill w9yIld amount almost to a breach
of faYth. Still. he added. he did not in
tend 20 let this objection interfere with
his support of the bill ---
Bailey took exception to the state
mont made by Spooner to the effect
that he Bailey had been Influenced
toward protection because Of his inter-
pest in the cattle business of his State.
4 disclaim any sympathy with any
bill and disavow any opposition to any
bill affecting any interest of my own
State, because of sentiment in that
State favorable to protection he said
Bailey explained his position on all
matters relating to tariff and said that
he favored tariff for revenue only.
Spocner disavowed any intention of
impugning the motives of Bailey.
THREAT FROM DEMOCRACY.
|. Bailey then discussed the constitu-
tional questions involved in the bills
maintaining that the. House had the
exclusive right to originate revenue Leg
islation and had no power over
treaties,
Bailey discussed at some length the
attitude of the Democratic Senators to-
ward the reciprccity provision of the
Mckinley law and the fact that the
party had divided on this and other
matters.
But" he said. turning toward the
Republican side of the chamber, you
Will hereafter get no Senator's votes
for the White House on this side Of
the chamber. You will have to take
care Of yourselves in the future"
This statement was accepted as a di-
rect reference TO the decision of the
Democratic caucus to stand as a unit
on all measures agreed upon by a two
thirds vote of the caucus, and aroused
quick interest.
''Why?" asked Aldrich, and he asked
the question two or three times before
Bailey could reach the end of his SEN
tence. While the query was being put
and reiterated Bailey was proceeding
to say that when the reason was suf-
fcient and when House measures were
good they would get all the Democratic
votes Then he made reply TO AL
drich's request for an explanation Of
the reasons for the statement just
made The first thought evidently was
that a sententious reply only was nee
essary.
The Senator knows why" he said
Then, after a moments thought he
repeated, The Senator knows" and
added: In some way or another the

ROBUST MANLINESS

Is Threatened, Students Think, by
CO-EducatiOn.
Charleston, S. c., June 23.-The stu
dents of the College of Charleston. one
of the Oldest and most conservative
colleges in the country, are greatly ex-
cited over a recent proposition to ad-
nit women students to the class rooms
of the institution. A petition to this
end was submitted to the trustees at
their annual meeting last week. To-
day the students of the college held a
mass meeting on the campus and pro-
tested earnestly against co-educatiol.
In the resolutions adopted, the stu
dents say they believe co-education
would inevitably tend to alter that
spirit and tone of robust manliness of
the student body, which we believe to
be of even greater Importance than
scholarship"
This action has excited widespread
comment, owing to the fact that many
of the most prominent women of
Charleston have enlisted in the effort
TO convert the old college into a CO.
educational institution.

THE LAME AND THE HALT

Met in n Desperate Fight in an Old
Folks Home.
Charleston, S. c., June % .-The novel
and revolving sight of a fight almost
to the death was witnessed at the Old
Folks Home here to-day. The partic-
ipants in the strange encounter were
James Mackey and Edward Penny
two negro inmates of the place. Both
of Mackey's legs have been amputated
near the trunk, while Penny's feet are
deformed and he is paralyzed on one
side.
A dispute arose between the men and
Mackey advanced upon his adversary.
Penny saw that his assailant, who was
formerly a powerful negro, meant Sc
rious injury to him, and he prepared
to defend himself. He used his crutch,
beating Mackey over the head and
shoulders, but the latter kept up his
attack.
Possessing himself of a short heavy
stick he kept crawling closer and
closer to Penny. He finally got in
striking distance and dealt Penny a
blow which rendered him senseless.
When the attendants finally reached
the scene both men were bleeding, and
it was feared that Penny was fatally
hurt. He finally revived, however.

AsseVerntiOns of Intentions In the

Washington, June 23.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day some consideration was
given to affairs in the Postoffice De-
partment, but 1t is understood that no
definite action was taken. The inves-
tigation, it was stated again to-day,
would be pressed until no trace of fur
ther suspicion attached to the depart
ment.
While absolute confirmation of the
statement is withheld, it is reasonably
certain that Holmes Conrad. former

been selected by the Department of
Justice to assist the district attorney
in the prosecution of the postoflce
