TlLLMAN BRINGS
UP THE cRUM CASE
House Starts Annual Fight on the
Civil Service Commission.

Washington: The Senate held only
a short session Thursday and ad-
1ourned until Monday. MIR. Tillman
brought the case of William d. Crum,
the colored man nominated for collec.
tor at Charleston, s. c., into promi-
hence by asking for report from the
committee on judiciary as to the stat.
us of recess appointments. He asked
Mr.. Plat of Connecticut, acting chair
men of the committee on judiciary, for
an explanation.
Responding, Mr.. Plat said that the
resolution had failed to receive con-
sideration during the past session be-
cause of the illness of Chairman Hoar,
and he promised to bring the matter
up at the next meeting of the COM
mittee..
HAS the committe power to refuse
to make report when under instruc-
lions from the Senate to do so?" Mr..
Tillman asked, whereupon Mr.. Spoon
er inquired of the South Carolina SEN
ator whether the resolution carried a
time limit, to which the senator re.
piled in the negative. He added the
conviction that it would be possible
20 str the matter up occasionally in
the Senate even though no report
should be made"
Mr.. Plat also said that he did not
feel called upon to answer a hypo-
thetical question as to the powers of
the committee. He could only prom
ise at this time to ask the committee
to consider the resolution and If it
should take action and that action
should not suit the purposes of the
senator, of course, could follow any
line of action which might commend
Itself to him.
Replying, MIR. Tillman said that he
did not intend to make any factious
opposition to the Crum nomination
for the purpose of thwarting the will
Of the President, but he felt called on
TO antagonize confirmation until the
committee report could be received.
The annual fight on the civil SER
vice commission was begun in the
House Thursday, during consideration
Of the legislative appropriation bill.
The opposition came from Messrs.
Bartlett of Georgia Hepburn of Iowa
and Grosvenor of Ohio. Mr.. Hepburn
moved to strike out the entire appro-
priation for the commission and it's
force of clerks, at the same time de-
nouncing the civil service as not hav-
ing improved since the days of the
spoils system, but, on the contrary, as
growing less and less efficient.
The discussion brought out some
semi-humorous comment on the late
presidential election. 1t related to the
lack of votes which were cast for
Judge Parker. Mr.. Williams of Mis-
sippi and Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio par.
ticipated in this feature of the de-
bate.
The session lasted five hours and
fifteen minutes.

In certain quarters the opinion Is
entertained that the Russians opened
the seacotks OF the submerged YES.
se.s, to lessen their exposure to the
Japanese fire. The recent cessation
OF mine clearing was taken as eyi
donce that the feet did not intend to
make sortio.
There was no sign of life on Rus
sian ships during the bombardment
and from this fact it is concluded that
the bluejaclIets took refuge on land
or that they arc engaged in the land
delenses.

slble for the Russians to overcome

squadron to Togo's feet unless, at

should pass the Dardanelles.

Washington: Minister Newell noti-

appropriation of $4,000 by The Meth.
erlands government for the purchase
of the site for the Carnegie palace
of peace. 1t was explained that the
delay, which had become embarras-
sing to Mr.. Hay, resulted from the
inability Of the council of The Hague
to cooperate with the government in
setting aside part of the public lands
for the site, on account of a law pas
sed in 1876. 1t is expected that the
actual work of building the peace
palace soon will begin.

That They Are Forgeries.

Cleveland, Ohio: Two notes. one
for 100000 and one for $250,O00
which have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the failure OF the Oberlin
bank and the Chadwick case. bear
the signature of Andrew Carnegie"
The note for $250,0O0 reads as fol-
lows: January 7, 19O4.-One year af-
ter date promise to pay to c. l..
Chadwick or order $250,000, with in.
terest at per cent.
(Slgned) ANDREW CARNEGIE"
This note is Endorsed on the back.
&c. l.. Chadwick" This note was
found in the Oberlin bank. and is
now in the possession of the United
States government authorities
The note for 100000 is supposed to
be in the safety deposit box of Presi-
dent Beckwith of the Oberlin bank,
which is locked. Mr.. Carnegie has
denied all knowledge of Mrs. Chad
wick. United States District Attorney
Sullivan said Monday afternoon that
he had seen the note for $25O.0 bear
ing the name Of Anderw Carnegie and
given to the Oberlin bank as Sc
curity for loans. 81 have no means
Of knowing whether the signature is
genuine" he added That will have
to be determined later"
All the secrets of the Chadwick
mystery revolve around the two Car
negie notes, and now that they are
in the possession of the officials it
need only be a matter of hours when
the true facts will be known. Mr..
Carnegie's denial that he signed the
notes in question, and that the sigma
ture on them must have been forged,
makes Mrs. Chadwick liable to ar
rest, and it is the belief here that
she will soon be taken into custody.
Not guilty" pleaded both President
Beckwith and Cashier Spear Of the
Citizens national bank of Obelin when
arraigned before United States Com

want no bail. Let them send me
where they will" said Beckwith few
moments later when approached by
a representative of the Bankers Sc
curity company. Bail was fixed at
$4,000 for each man, which they
gave.
carnegie's Emphatic Denial.
New York: Mr.. Carnegie declares
omphatlcally that he never signed
any paper for Mrs. Chadwick and
that if his name appears on such
notes it is a forgery. He declares
he never knew the woman at all.
President Beckwith of the suspend
ed Oberlin bank, who is now out on
bail in the Chadwick matter, has
confessed that he and Cashier Spear
Endorsed the notes in favor of Mrs.
Chadwick, signed with Andrew Car
negies names. The three notes aggre-
gate $1,250.OOO.
President Beckwith discussed his
predicament at great length Monday
afternoon, but the only point of ma
terial interest divulged was the eXis-
tence of three notes bearing Car
negie's name, instead of two. These
had all been Endorsed by him and
Cashier Spear and the third note, he
declared, should now be in Mrs.
Chadwick's possession, though she
had promised never to try to negO-
tiate it.
