DOES NOT SATISFY FORAKER
Message Fails, He Says, to Meet What
He Is After.

After the message had been read
Foraker, saying he was not going TO
make a speech but few remarks"
observed that the testimony amounted
to a great deal--"For the president
tells us it is conclusive. But 1t does
not remove the objection 1 have had
from the beginning Of this proceeding.
What l have been trying to contend
for, and l hope l will be successful, is
to secure bearing for the men charged
with this serious crime. This testi-
mony has been taken as the other was,
behind closed doors, without anybody
representing the men. That Is the rea-
son 1 shall not desist, Notwithstanding
what the president has said as to the
character of it, from pressing for an
| Investigation Of the subject where
| especially the men who are charged
with the crimes of murder, perjury
and conspiracy can be heard
The speechmaking on the subject
then began and continued until $50
o'clock. Mallory, indorsing the action
Of the president, held that the presi-
| dent might have gone too far in pre-
| enting the re-enlistment of the soldiers
! involved, but otherwise he approved
the presidents order of discharge.
Clay followed, and the debate was Civ
Ell lively turn by Tillman's Interrupt
tons. Clay said the people of Georgia
heartily Endorsed the presidents ac-
ton. Bacon followed with what he
said was a precedent for the Browns
vile order in the discharge Of COM
pany of South Carolina National
Guardsmen by Tillman when he was
governor. This involved Tillman again
In the debate.
Spooner was in the midst of a con-
stitutional discussion of the authority
of the president in the case when adj
journment was taken. Spooner holds
that when the president exercises his
powers as commander-in-chie of the
army the senate has no jurisdiction tC
review his actions. He also contend
ed that congress has no power to legis
late specifically to restore the soldiers
discharged in the present case, declar
ing that review can only be had by
Impeachment proceedings. which mus
originate in the house of representa-
tiveS.

What does the senator mean by being
honest" asked Spooner.
when I confess my sins I know
every man hereis equally sinful; that's
all l mean
''The senator can confess for him
self and not for me. What does the
senator want?'
Tillman then explained that he had
arisen to state that he had not criti-
cised the whole regiment. He added
there were many good negroes. AS
this seemed to surprise Spooner, Till
man added that he had good negroes
working for him for thirty years, and
he believed there were millions Of good
ones. II do not hate the race" be

elected from Tillman the explanation:

discuss the race question, which he
said was entirely outside the present

CHICAGO SCHEME IS OPPOSED
Two Bodies That Fight Her Desire for
Lake Michigan Water.


Washington, Jan. 15.-Chicago's ap-
plfcation for permission to reverse the
current of the Calumet river in order
to provide the city with a system OF
sewerage met with opposition at
hearing before Secretary Taft. The
American Civic association and the
Lake Carriers association contend
that it would mean a substantial re-
duction in the level from the head or
Lake Michigan to the Gulf Of st. Law
renee. They believe the right to give
permit Is vested in congress only.
Supporters Of the proposal questioned
whether the federal government can
forbid the taking of water for domes-
tic and sanitary purposes.
The Chicago delegation made its ar
gument principally on the sanitary
benefit the Calumet scheme would be

engineer of the Chicago sanitary dis
