WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 81, 1904

AFTER THREE hours of spectacular
debate in the House yesterday, particl-
mated in by Mr.. Dalzell, Of Pennsyl'
vania and Mr.. Bourke Cochran, OF New
York the latter offered resolution de-
handing that the charge made against
him by Mr. Dalzell, of accepting money
for speeches in the campaign OF 1896,
be investigated by committee OF the
House. He said the adoption OF his
resolution would be the means of show
ing whether, in 1896, the presidency
was purchased, or whether it was won
in honorable conflict. The resolution
came as the climax of day OF oratory.
1t also took the republicans of the House
by surprise, and only the ingenuity OF
the Speaker prevented an immediate
vote upon the proposition. Speaker
Cannon. who had listened to the debate
with evident regret that 1t should nave
taken a course so incorporate, suggested
to the House that before going any fur
ther in the matter it take a night S
sleep. Mr.. Cochran insisted upon his
resolution as one of the highest privl-
lege, whereupon the Speaker declared
that he could not determine the char
acter of its privilege until he had con-
suited the precedents. SO the matter
went over until today, when the House
declined TO consider the resolutions

Russia and Turkey. -

Vienna, April 27.-The CONSTANT
nople correspondent of Zeitung declares
that diplomatic circles in the Turkish
capital believe that Russia secretly favor
ed a Turkish-Bulgarian agreement as she
feared that withoutsuch an agreement in
her way Austria would conclude a direct
alliance with Turkey. Russia, continues
the writer, is now seeking to embarrass
the Porte in the suppression of the
Armenian troubles, and is demanding
the payment of the war indemnity due
her by Abdul Hamid. This latter move
is considered an effort to pave the way
for a secret Russo-Turkish military con-
vention by which Austrian designs would
be thwarted and the Dardanelles would
be opened to the Russian fleet in the
Black Sea.

Mr.. ID. ROCKEFELLER, as one OF the
highest types of Christian philanthro-
pist, is rejected by Rev. DR.. Russell H..
Conwell, pastor of Grace Baptist Temple,
Philadelphia In an interview yesterday
DIR. Conwell gave as his opinion that
the vastness of Mr. ROckefeller's wealth
prevented him from being certain that
his benefactions were applied where
they would do the most good, and that
because of this and other reasons he had
not, up to the present, accomplished as
much benefit as might reasonably be ex-
pected, considering the amount of his
gifts. Now Mr.. Rockefeller will have
to give many more millions before he
attains Mr.. Conwel's standard of a
Christian.

more apparent

AS HAS been the belief of the Gazette
and other papers for many years, Sena-
tor Hale, chairman or the Senate naval
committee has expressed his belief that
the day of big battleships has passed and
a radical change in the policy of naval
construction was necessary. All the ma
lions of the earth that have expended
millions on modern warships now find
themselves at the mercy of miners, and
submarines and torpedo boats. The war
now in progress betwee Russia and ia
pan has proven this cOnclusively. The
United States has number of the most
improved battleships. For long time
it was supposed they were practically in
vulnerable. The history of the past few
months has dispelled the. dream.

"THE BEST time to stop a strike Is a
long time before you begin it, which is
true if it is Irish," said Terrence v.
Powderlv, former general master work
man of the Knights of Labor, at the
annual banquet of the Shoe and Leather
Association Of Chicago in the Audi
forum Hotel last night. "The labor
leader who has the interest OF his men
at heart will fight the strike to the last
ditch" continued Mr.. Powderly, "for
of all the costly, cumbrous, wasteful,
cruel methods of settling difficulty In
labor matters the strike and lockout are
the worst" That the words of Mr..
Powderly are logical is patent to all -
the interested and the spectator alike
It calls to mind an observation made to
q representative of the Gazette by an
official of the international Typograph-
ical Union in this city last June. His
deductions were substantially as repeated
by Mr.. Powderly last night, and as time
goes on their wisdom becomes more and
more apparent.
