Washington. April 12-The feature
OF today's proceedings In the house OF
Representatives was the speech made
by Mr.. Cochran OF New York. who
under an agreement made on the pre-
vious day was given an hour TO elu-
cidate the subject OF general debate"
on appropriation bills In view OF
the announcement that Mr.. Cochran
would speak the galleries were
crowded and a very large proportion
OF the members of the house were in
attendance.

jects covering the widest possible
latitude were being Illuminated.
launched o. into a defense OF the
Hepburn rate bill and the high posi-
ton taken by the house, not only in
the exceptional character OF the leg
islation. but in the dignified way In
which the bill passed the lower branch
of congress. In this connection he
ridiculed the constitutional debates In
the senate.
"A constitutional lawyer. how are
re to distinguish him? Net by the
number of decisions of courts prov.
ing his contentious but by the won
der and awe Of his associates: at
the multiplicity Of his quotations; the
strangeness of his phrases; the awful
ness Of his men and the mystery of
his meaning" Cloud applause.l
These constitutional lawyers he
said, "had spread their wings and TAX
en- fight far beyond the view of or
binary citizens. If a railroad did not
like the action Of the commission all
it need do was to ignore the order:
all 1t need do is to stand pat" he
exclaimed.

Party Of New York Teachers Visit This
Historic Spot.

The Guayandottes, an organization
OF New York teachers, arrived here
yesterday en- route to Roanoke Island
where they will spend an annual va
cation. They left the metropolis Sat-
urday afternoon by the Old Dominion
line for Norfolk, where they spent the

They numbered about so and occu-
pied two coaches. Awaiting them here
was the Norfolk and Southern steamer
Neuse on which they continued To

today and probably tomorrow, visiting

asked Mr.. Bacon, and Mr.. Foraker de-
MED that such was his purpose. The
only question that a court could decide
would be as to whether a given rate was
just and reasonable. He declared that
"A greater cheat and humbug," could
not be conceived than the review sug-
gested ii the bill.
Mr. Foraker did not believe in a fat
mileage rate as suggested by Mr.. TILL
man. In case of such legislation, he
feared the result would be a serious
matter for the strawberry growers of
South Carolina and the peach growers
of Georgia.
Mr.. TIlman declared that although
a pe~ach-grower himself he was willing
to take the chances on a fat rate. He
believed it to be in accordance with the
declaration of Independence. He said
there would be no danger Of competi-
ton in southern peaches because he
said 1.-The peaches OF Georgia are done
and gone and ate up before the Della
ware peaches get into the, market.
"Ill stand and die by the proposition
that it is all wrong to charge the
same rate on peaches from Delaware
to New York that is charged on them
from South Carolina to New York." he
added.
Mr.. Foraker said that the manu-
featuring industries of the west and
also of the south were very prosperous,
and MI. Tillman responded that this
was true of the south despite the dis
examinations of the tariff and of rail-
road rates.
1t looked for a time as the debate
was going to drift into discussion on
the tariff. Mr.. Aldrich declared that
no one gets more material advantage
from the tariff system than the cotton
manufacturers of the south. 1.-THE
senator from South Carolina may not
know it." he declared, "'but the man
ufacturers do
Mr.. Tfllman declared that the pot
terry manufacturers of East Liverpool
Ohio, were being deprived Of the adj
vantages the tariff gives them by the
discrimination Of the railroads.
Mr.. Foraker admitted that there was
some discrimination there, but said
that the condition might be worse.
"Well. they're squealing," responded
Mr.. Tillman.
IF the senator had been there dur
ing the Cleveland ADMINISTRATION, IRE
torted Mr.. Foraker, ''he would have
heard them squealing long and loud"
The senate adjourned until tomor-
row.

A Vigorous Legal Warfare Will be

was authorized tonight by Dowie him
self and by the lawyers who repre-
sem him.
Attorney P. c. Haley, Of Eddy,
Haley and Wetton, who represent
Dowie and his ~counsellors, tonight
said:
eve have. advanced, and will ad-
vance, only one condition: complete
restoration of power, temporal as we'll
as ecclesiastical. and a demand for
an absolute retraction of the SANDER
Gus statements made by General Over
seer w. Glenn Voliva and his follow
ers against the moral character of
Dowie.
1--WE are preparing a bill in chanc-
cry, petitioning the courts to set
aside the transfer of the property at
Zion City made between General
Overseer Voliva and Deacon Alexan-
der Granger because the instrument
was absolutely void. Dowie revoked
Voliva's power Of attorney two days
before the illegal transfer was made"
Dowie has secured an order from
the postal authorities directing that
all mail address tx Dowie be deliver
ed to him in Chicago. This. it is said,
will checkmate the general order
sent out by Voliva ordering that no
moneys be RENTED to Dowie, here
after.
To a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press Dowie today emphati-
cally denied the truth of a report to
the effect that he had agreed secretly
with a commission of Mormon mis-
sionaries, to turn over to the Mormon
church Zion and all of it's vast hold
ings. The only possible basis for this
story, he explained, vas that some
months ago, a cOterie Of Mormon mis-
siOnaries appeared in the streets Of
Zion and distributed pamphlets ex-
pounding the doctrines of MOrmonism
| According to the statements of DOwie
and his ~counsellors, these men were
elected from the city.

"NEED OF PARTIES"


Prosperity De,ands ON Principles. Not Men
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ.
Shaw was the principal speaker at kepub-
lican meeting in Springfield, Mo-. Aug. 10th.
Secretary Shaw laid special emphasis on
the need of parties, and stated lhat IN this
country national prosperity uePenus on
principles and not on men. Inc lntesrily
and patriotism of the candldates were
largely the same in either party, he said,
and the country largely prospered or IAN
guished according to the principles on
winch the candidates stood.
There had never been time when dlsas-
ter did not follow DemOcratlc RUE, the
secretary said This had not been the IN;
ttention of the Democrats. but nad resulted
from their incorrect economic theories.
A tariff for revenue only coulS nor IN
clude any protection and was merely
synonym for free trade
The dtferential tariff. was especially
praised by Mr. Shaw, as it gave opportunity
TOR development for home industries. he
made the assertion that as much money
was paid out in wages in the nlted States
as in all the rest of the world put together,
and that this caused the great number OF
immigrants to come annually 20 tnls coun-
try. Since this is true, he said, immigration
ought to be encouraged.
Reciprocity was criticised by the speaker,
who said it simply meant that the tariff
must be lowered to let in foreign goods, and
free trade would then result.
Speaking of "boodle," Sec. Shaw said

and have found that the men in congress
compare favorably with those that want to
get in.
