Discussion Of the Brownsville Matter
POSTPONED.

Discussion Of the Brownsville Matter
Postponed.
At the suggestion of Senator Kean the
ton of the Brownsville resolution until next
Monday.
Senator Beveridge today notified the re-
no circumstances would he be bound to
vote against Senator Blackburn s0amend-
ment to Senator Foraker's Brownsville
resolution disclaiming any intention to deny
the Presidents right to discharge the negro
troops on account OF the Brownsville riot.
The notification was given Immediately
after the senator reached the Capitol from
the White House. but he declared that in
taking his position he had done so because
of his own views and not because OF any
thing the President had said. After the
Senate met Senator Beveridge was en-
gagged In conversation with Senator Warner
of Missouri. who announced himself In
hearty accord with the Indiana senator's
views From that time on conferences were
frequent on the republican side of the
Senate chamber, and other senators took
position in favor of the Blackburn pro-
vision.
From the first the leaders have felt the
necessity of securing unanimous action. and
there Is some disturbance over the pros
pective break in their ranks. There has
been no cessation in the EFFORT to bring
about harmony, and there was renewed
talk today of conference OF republican
senators to secure that result. Mr.. Bev-
eridge however announced himself as OPP
posed to a conference. and fntimated that
even II one should be held he would not
be bound by It, The plan of the opponents
OF the Blackburn amendment on the re-
publican side is to amend the Blackburn
provision so as to require an investigation
into the entire race question. and then to
lay the whole matter on the table.

changed the Jamaican coast line was COM
municated to the officials of the govern
ment at an early hour today.
Secretary Metcalf of the navy was one
of the first of those advised of the press
dispatches regarding the disaster. Arrange
ments had already been made by which the
Secretary should receive the first official re-
ports expected from Rear Admiral Evans at
Guantanamo. Secretary Metcalf remained
up until late hour last night in the hope
of receiving some '--.cial report.
The news of the tidal wave, following
closely upon the heels OF the cumulative de-
tails of the earthquake and fire. caused the
most profound interest in official circles
Naval officials were stirred. Assistant Sec
re sary Newberry promptly made arrange
ments to be kept fully advised as further
details were received.
The American vice consul at Kingston

eft is a rather remarkable and somewhat

In discussing the matter with a Star re-
porter. ''Sfr Alfred Is remarkable man"
he continued, "and he Is one Of the sort to
take of his coat and pitch in for hard

He owns most of the Island Of Jamaica

He formed and controls the hotel COM

and the Myrtlebank, which was destroyed
at Kingston, on the south side. 1t has been
one of his ambitions to make Jamaica
great winter resort for rich Americans, and
he has done much in that line in the past
few years. He is interested in a lot Of
plantations in the island. and one Of his
hobbies is cotton farming in the British
possessions, so as to make the English
spinners Independent of the American CROP
Among other things he Is the president
Of the Liverpool chamber of commerce and
Of the British Cotton Growers Associa-

throughout the West Indies and has spent
an immense amount of money in fostering
cotton growing on British soil and trans
porting it free in his own ships. The OBJ
ject of his present visit to Jamaica was
to show lot of people interested in Brit

island. and there were in his party a lot
of prominent members Of the British Cot
ton Growers Association.
''Sir Alfred is tireless worker and a
great organizer, and he has the money and
the men at hand to help put things right

he will want to. Many of his interests are

"a CONFEDERATE REPUBLIC. y
States Rights Speech Delivered by
Sere Tor Whyte.

Senator Whyte of Maryland addressed
the Senate today on his resolution opposing
further extension of the federal powers
beyond those enumerated in the Constitu-
ton, except in the manner provided by that
instrument.
The position was taken by Mr.. Whyte
that the government Is In the nature OF
"confederated republic. established by the
people of the states and not by the ag-
gregated people of the United States"
In this connection he combatted the ideas
advanced recently by "a great and hon
ored lawyer, holding high place in the
government, that we are urging forward in
development of business and social life
which tends more and more to the obiit-
Grafton of state lines and the decrease of
state powers"
Mr.. Whyte regarded this as the revival
of 1.-THE centralizing and aristocratic scheme
Of Alexander Hamilton" which the trainers
of the Constitution rejected.
