STEVENS BLAMES i
REP. DIVERSIFIED
POSTOFFTCE REPORT OMITTED
IMPORTANT FACTS.
Chairman of Postoffice Committee
Prints Letter to Department Asking

Which Would Exonerate Members
Facts Were Suppressed. " "-s.-. p.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March 15.-Represen-
tative F. G. Stevens, of st. Paul, at the
request of T h o ur n a ], has made
the following statement, explaining IN
brief form the cause leading up TO the
violent state of feeling in the house OF
representatives following the brlsIoW
report last week.
According to Mr.. Stevens, the blame
for what. has happened in reality rests
more with Chairman Overstreet,' or
the postoffice committee, than with
anyone else, and 1t is probably just as
we'll that that fact was not known at
the time the members OF the mouse
were so enraged last. week.
It was a very serious mistake or
Judgment which Mr.. Overstreet made
and his colleagues will not be quick to
forget it. Mr.. Stevens says:
AS first understood by the house, it
seemed as tho without any previous ne
cessity or request, the Bristow report had
thrust upon the public various dealings Of
members Of congress with the postoffice
department, thru the medium of Beavers,
convicted In the public mind Of serious
violations Of the law, The following classes
of members were in. the report mixed to-
gether without separation or explanation,
and this, together with the coupling Of
their names with that Of Beavers: explains
last weeks violent outburst of indignation.
First, those whom the report by Its terms
completely exonerated. g s 49, =, s. ,,.s
Second, those whom the report mentions,
but does not show facts either:of exonera-
ton or blame. ','-@-@@' rs ~
Third those who seem to have violated
some regulation Of the postoffice depart
ment. in obtaining allowances for clerk
hire or rent. But the facts were sup
pressed which tended to exonerate the
members, while those which implicated
them were made public. y. :1,s. -; =
On Friday last, Chairman Overstreet
for the first time, printed d. letter from
himself to the postoffice department, re-
questing such facts as were represented in
the report, except those, which would tend
to, exonerate the members. The depart
ment of it's own accord forwarded all in:
: formation contained in the report under
four different calls. from Chairman Over
street. - ="
i Since this has been known, much Of the
former Indignation has been transferred
to Chairman Overstreet, except that the
members feel that the report of the de.
partment should have forwarded all ths
facts and correspondence connected Will
any case, instead of allowing partial ane
garbled reports to be made public. .

SO, AFRICA NEEDS
100000. LAB0RERS
Chinese Contract Labor Will Be
Introduced Under Strict
..'... Laws,

Special to The Journal. +, ~. y
New York, March 15.-Bishop
Joseph G. Hartzell, missionary bishop
for Africa of the Methodist Episcopal
church, has just.returnedz to New Y ork
from his seventh Episcopal tour OF
Methodist missions in Africa. s.
The trip covered nine months, and
involved a, complete circing of1that
continent. The p1sfop has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the CONNER
cial and political conditions in South
Africa, considered from the missionary
AS England and the world had no con-
ception OF the South African war when
it began, 80 the commercial, political and
racial difficulties succeeding that war
were not realized. The result has been,
a great disappointment to, the over.
sanguine. The key to the situation is to
secure sufficient labor to work the mines,
build the railroads. develop other internal
improvements and advance farming.
There is need Of 100000 more laborers
in all South Africa to-day than can be
had, and the demand has been so sudden
and the lack has led to SO many embar-
easements in every line Of activity that
the wisest men Of the colonies and the
imperial government Of England have
been and are still greatly perplexed.
The battle is fought over the question
of securing Indian or Chinese labor, as
the expense of white labor is too great,
and, in fact the number of whites needed
cannot be had. a To meet. this pressing
exigency Chinese labor will be introduced
under strict laws; contracts not to run
more than three years. when the laborer
| is to be returned to. his home.
In time the labor for Africa will be
all found among the natives But it will
take time. The native is a conservative
fellow and does not. change his ideas OF
the desirability Of work except as his
needs multiply, and that is a slow process.
And there is very vague idea of the
number Of native Africans. Millions upon
millions everywhere is the popular idea
The fact is that, as whole, Africa is
the most thinly populated continent on the
earth-only thirteen to the square mile.
The harmonizingt Of the Dutch and Eng
lish races goes slowly. The victory just
won in Cape, Colony under the leadership
Of DR.. Jameson, the nearest to the pol1ti-
cal successor to Mr.. Rhodes that has yet
| appeared, is a good omen. i,sss =

Washington, March 15.-Secretary
Taft told the house committee on In
sular affairs yesterday. that he, had
received a telegram from General
Wade stating that General Wood had
advised that, on account of the anti
slavery proclamation, the Moros of
the Rio del Mfndanao district had
risen; that this armed force had been
met and defeated with no American
loss but with considerable loss to the
Moros. ..
II am disappointed at this news, -
remarked Secretary Taft, because I
supposed that the Moros Of that dis
trict were in a condition where that
sort of thing was not possible" .
= ! The secretary, in answer to Repre-
sentative Patterson Of Tennessee, said
that, in his opinion, the executive ac-
ton already taken had put an end to
the Bates agreement, but congress
sional action, would make assurance
doubly sure ........- sd
The secretary denied absolutely that
the treaty recognized either slavery or
;polygany. He said g So = ~-,s',,s

OF slavery; neither has slavery been de-
stroyed by force of arms by the United
States, but the slave trade has, been sup
pressed just as far as it has been pos

Previous to the hearing Chairman
Cooper, read to the committee the fol-
lowing cablegram sent by Secretary
Taft, March 2, abrogating the Bates
treaty between the United States and
the sultan Of Sulu and his dattos:,
BY order Of the president you are di-
rected to notify sultan of Sulu and the
dattos who signed the so-called Bates
treaty Of Aug. 20, 1899, which was modus
vivendi and mere executive agreement

suffering and myself many sleepless
nights. ~
"My babe was born seemingly fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old swelling appeared on the
back Of her head, and in course Of time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size of
dime to that Of dollar. I used all
kinds Of remedies that !, could think Of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and I feared it would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
father came on visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
:To please him did SO, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has q nice head Of hair, her
skin is as fair as lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
