WATCHING THE REVOLUTION.

ments of Fiibuster.
Washington, June IL. - Secrecy no
longer surrounds the movements of the
United States cruiser Marblehead,
which has sailed north from Panama.
At the request OF the State department,
the Marblehead sailed for San Jose,
Guatemala, to investigate the move
ments of the American steamer Empire,
Which is reported to have landed re-
cruits from San Francisco and arms and
ammunition for the use of the revolu-
tionists against President Cabrera.
Disquieting dispatches reached the
State department today from Guatema-
la regarding the revolution. The men,
bers OF the present administration are
active in parts OF the republic, but 1t is
impossible to discover the exact cause
of the movement and the directing
force.
Both the Salvadorean and Mexican
borders have been lending support to
the revolution, and it is the desire oil
this government that the Marblehead
shall find out exactly what the situation
is and have care that there be no par
ticipation in the revolution by Ameri-
cans which may involve the United
States in an international dispute.
The Empire coaled at Corinto, Mica
ragua, before sailing for San Jose, ac-
cording to dispatches from Panama.

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
Ambassador Cheng Discourses Be-
fore Cleveland Business Men.

Cleveland, June 8.--Sir Cheng Tung
LANG Cheng, the Chinese ambassador
at Washington, was guest OF honor
and the principal speaker at dinner
given by the local chamber of commerce
today. He paid an eloquent tribute to
the memory of the late Secretary John
Hay. He dwelt at length on the in
creasing opportunities for American
commerce in China. He said in part:
"China and the United States seem
to be admirably situated for close COM
mercial relations. With chain of
insular possessions extending across the
Pacific, the United States has lite trad
ing posts at the very gate of China.
Even now the cotton mills of the South
depend upon the China market for the
disposal of their products; for China
takes from the United States more
than half of its total exports of cotton
manufactures. Even now the mills of
the Northwest find China good custo-
mer for their -four.
"The commerce between the two
countries has steadily grown to its
present proportions in spite of all dis
couragements and restrictions. With
better understanding of each others
needs and conditions there is every rea.
son to believe that the growth will be
much more rapid in the future"

'COLylLLE GRAFT
SMELLS FOULLf
Senate Passes Bill Allowing Indians
To Be Robbed
Lawyers Secure Provision "''o' ""
Give Them $4,000 Without
Earning IT. Washington oena'o' :
vo,sa In Affirmative - President
Nav Use Veto Power.

Washington, June 12.--The senate
Yesterday placed its seal OF approval on
the Colville graft, which was slipped
into the Indian appropriation bill con-
ference report, whereby these Indians
will be robbed OF 10 per cent Oh .ne
~ 500 900 appropriated for them tof
surrendering the north hall OF the''
reservation, the said 10 per cent TO DC
distributed among 10 attorneys VINO
claim to have procured this appropria'
ton. For bold, unalloyed graft This
legislation has no equal and what IF
equally surprising, it received the VoteS
OF both Washington senators.
This graft was so foul smelling that
no attempt was made to pay part OF the
Indian money to these lawyers while
the bill was being regularly considered
bv either the house or the senate, put
the provision was slipped in by the
conference committee contrary to the
ru les OF parliamentary procedure. Tne
offensive amendment does not directly
authorize the payment of $4,000 to
these LAWYERS, but requires the court OF
claims to determine how much they
are respectively entitled to, no one law
yer to receive more than $l5 900.
Vigorous attacks were made ON this
amendment on two grounds. First
The contract originally made with the
Colvilles under which the attorneys
were to receive $3.50, 900 il they secored
an appropriation of $1,50O,OO expired
in 1904, and nothing had been accom-
plished in the meantime. Today,
when the appropriation is made, there
is no contract in force, Secretary Hitch
cock having refused to renew it because
he believed the scheme a graft. There.
fore it is contended that the lawyers
had nothing on which to base a claim
for pay.
But, what was more important, II
was shown by Mr.. Clay that these law.
ysrs had in fact rendered the Colvills
Indians no service; had done nothing
to earn the $3.50, 600, and were not en-
titled ON any theory to one cent OF the
Colv lie money, but, as soon as con
gress authorized the payment OF tbs
Colville claim, the lawyers rushed il
and attempted to collect a fee they hae
not earned.
So nauseous has become this evident
graft that an attempt will be made tt
defeat this provision when the Indian
bill comes up for final approval in the
house, but if the house concurs it il
not improbable that the president will
veto the bill and send it back for re
construction.
