WHY NOT MAKE
THEM DISGORGE?
CMr. Bryan's Commoner)



Testifying before the insurance
committee at New York. September
20. John A. Mccall. president of the
New York Life Insurance company.
said that sums aggregating S235.OO
had been paid TO Andrew Hamilton.
Mr. Mccall said that AR. Hamilton's
account is not subject to audit. He
said that he was sure the S235,0O
would be paid by Mr.. Hamilton on de-
mand of the company, adding; "If it
isn't. I'm responsible and III pay it.''
Neither Mr. Mccall nor Mr.. Hamil-
ton has shown the disposition or abili-
ty TO account for the expenditure Of
this considerable sum Of money. Mr.
Hamilton is visiting in foreign lands.
and does not appear to be at all con
eerned as to the necessity for the re-
payment OF this money Mr.. Mccall
IS. of course. responsible and mas
much as he said "In pay it, this is the
time TO make good.
Of course, nobody expects Hamilton
or Mccall or any Of that ink to volun-
tarily return the money taken from the
but it win occur to a
great many people that there should
be sufficient power in New Yorks leg
al machinery TO force these piunder-
ers 10 dissorge their El-gotten gains.

IMPORTANT WORK.

The house of representatives today
completed consideration of the army
appropriation bill and will vote on it
tomorrow. A vigorous attack was
made on the army transport service
by Humphrey and offered an amend
ment abolishing it. The house fixed
Friday, February II, as the date for
holding appropriate exercises in Stat
uary hall accepting the statue of Fran
ces E. Willard. A bill was passed ex-
tending the extradition laws of the
United States to the Philippines.
Consideration of the statehood bill
was continued in the senate today and
Stone spoke for two hours in opposition
to it. The bill for the remuneration Of
American fur sealers who sufferd losses
because of their suppression, was also
debated at some length, but no action
was taken.

Tuesday, January IL

In the senate today Hepburn con-
cluded his speech on the joint state
hood bill and Stone gave notice of a
speech tomorrow on his resolution for
an investigation of charges of corrup-
ton in the campaigns of 1895 and
1904. Lodge presented the conference
report on the Philippines bond and
railroad bill, and explained the house
amendments.
Senator Mitchell appeared on the
floor OF the senate and defended him
self in regard t" the indictment in con-
nection with the Oregon land frauds.
He called his accusers liars and per-
jurers and will demand an investiga-
ton. Many of his colleagues crowded
around him to welcome him.
Another obstacle has arisen in the
way of the klamath irrigation project.
Chairman Mondell, of Wyoming, of the
house committee on irrigatiaon is fight
ing the bill. He says he is not in
favor of expending single cent of the
reclamation fund in either California
or Oregon until both states "pass a
decent set of water laws" He would
take more of the reclamation fund for
use in his own state regardless OF
amount contributed.

The statehood bill and the fur seal
indemnity bill again divided the atten-
tion of the senate today, and both went
over without action. Fulton spoke in
support OF the indemnity bill, and Nc
Creary and Bate in opposition to the
statehood measure.
Immediately after the senate was
called to order President Pro TEN Frye
laid before it telegram from the gov
ernor of New Mexico, transmitting a
memorial adopted by the legislature of
that territory protesting against the
union of New Mexico and Arizona in
one state, and urging the admission Of
New Mexico as state according to
present boundaries.
The house passed the army appro-
priation bill. The Indian appropria-
tion bill was considered for the re-
mainder of the day, but was not con-
cluded when the house adjourned until
tomorrow.

Great Strike at 81. Petersburg Is
Involving Thousands.
WORK ON WARSHIPS IS STOPPED
About 90, 900 lronworkers and 6o,-
600 Cotton Mill Operatives
May Join In Strike.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 20,-The strike
situation is becoming very grave. To-
night there are $4,000 men out ON
strike, and the movement Ia spreading
to the big cotton mills, which employ
over 90, 900 operatives. Meetings have
been called for tomorrow, at which So-
cial Democratic leaders will use their
utmsot cndeavors TO convert the strike
into vast political demonstration,
which at the present crisis might have
most serious developments. The au-
thorities are adopting every precaution
to avoid an outbreak, but the Social
Democrats are spurrins on the strikers,
and there Is great danger OF u collision
with the troops, which would be al
most sure TO bo followed by red flag
demonstrations, accompanied by great
bloodshcd Tie community IL full Of
sensational rumors aud rioting is gem
orally expected.
in conjunction with :ae Epiphany
celebration, which viii occur tomrrow,
the meetings of strikers will make the
day IL critical one for the police. Thus
far, however, the strike has preserved
Il purely economic aspect, The great
industrial quarter Of st, Petersburg
presents the appearance Of an armed
camp. The idle factories are surround
ed by cordons Of police and patrols of
infantry march about the mow.covered
plains.
The strikers are led by priest
named Gopon, who is idolized by the
workmcn and who represents them in
negotiations with the employers.
This is the first great strike in North
ern Russia. Hitherto the workmen
have been unorganiEed, and previous
strikes in st, Petersburg have not in
volved more than 10000 men, The
strike leaders claim to have funds
enough to hold out for month, but
this is doubted, and the lack OF money
and the privations of winter and per-
haps government interference are ex-
pected to make the strike short and
