Urges Investigation of the DISCHARGE
Of Negro Troops--Criticises Presi-
dent for Exceeding COnstitu-
tiOnaI Authority Many
Empty Seats In House.

Washington, Dec Ex-senator Foraker
occupied the attention Of the Senate to-
day in criticism of the basis of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's action in discharging the
negro troops on account of the Browns
vile affairs. He began with the broad
declaration that the President miscon.
ceived his constitutional power when he
discharged the troops and also mlscon-
tcelVed the testimony on which his action
was based
Mr.. Foraker said the President's con-
stitutional power was simply to COM
mand the army and navy as commander
in-chief' while to Congress the constitu-
ton gave the power to raise armies and
make rules and regulations for their
government Inc regulations prescribed
mat no man could be summarily dis
charged without the right to he tried and
the articles Of war, he urged. prescribe
mlnutely how these trials are to be con-
Quoted. He contended after reading from,
the articles of war that it was ,ncon-
ceivable the President should be absolute
ny without restraint
When Mr. Foraker concluded his re-
marks on the negro troops resolution he
received unanimous consent to modify the
~ ~ nv" uIreCts Lhe COM
mlttee on military affairs to investigate
the circumstances leading up to the dis
charge of the negro troops.
lie was answered briefly bv Senator
Lodge. Senator Scott supported .,e
demand Of the Ohio senator for n fu,l

fore the Senate for action at its next

ENGINE ON MAIN STREET
bennington Suspends Business Ia
Watch Unusual sight.

Bennington, Dec 21.-There was a gen.
eral suspension of business on Main
street to-day when the locomotive be-
longing to the contracting outfit which is
building the new eletrc road from North
Adams to Bennington steamed through
the thoroushfare. Attached to the locomo-
tive was a long fiat car crowded with men
and boys who rejoiced in the opportunity
TO secure al free ride.
The track of the Bennington g. Hoosich
Valley line which runs through the Main
street was badly frozen and the progress
of the little locomotive was slow. Stops
were frequent but the numerous photo
Rraphers who lined the route like swal-
lows on a fence were on this account
given frequent opportunities for snap
shots.
| The locomotive was taken to the Cooper
mill switch ana thence on tho new
electric road where it will be used in
hauling gravel for ballast.
