ously. I asked him his business and
he gave me his name as G. E. Will
liams and said he wanted a loan of
$4,000. He. did not look like man
who could make a loan of that amount
and / asked him for collateral. He
said something about all insurance
policy and that it would mature III
from one to five years. I was then
convinced the man was a crank and
decided to dismiss him at once, not
for moment thinking there was any
harm in him. / told him he would
have to see the cashier and directed
him out into the banking department.
At the same moment I called the col
ored messenger, William Crump, to
see that the man was quickly taken
out Of the building. As l turned to
continue my work at the desk there
was a terrific explosion and I thought
the building was coming down. The
man had not time to reach the cash
ier, the explosion came so soon."
Details as to what actually happen

President Rushton differ, as no one
can be found who saw the man drop

Cashier McLear was sitting at his
desk at the time and his body was

regiment
because. of this report and expe-
rience, the general staff recommend
ed and the Department decided it to
be wise to return to the former policy
of equal foreign service of all the reg
-iments of the mobile army.
s'The present assignment of the
other colored regiments to the Phil
ippines is merely for an equal distri-
button of foreign service. They have
npt been there for four years. It now
becomes fair to them and to other
regiments that they be assigned to the
Philippines in due order.
3 Foreign service, it should be stat
ed, increses the pay of the men 20
per cent and counts double time for
retirement. It,was pointed out at the
Department therefore that the idea
that these orders were prejudicial to
the colored troops .or we're made Oh
account of the Brownsville affair, was
utterly absurd"

work After Holiday Recess.
Soon after the Senate met Senator
Foraker's resolution providing for
ali inquiry by the Senate into the
discharge Of the negro troops Of the
Twenty.ffth Infantry on account Of
the Brownsville, Texas, episode, was
laid before the Senate and Senator
Culbersot made an address on the
subject. He said that he would have
kept quiet but for the fact that great
injustice had been done the people of
Brownsville.
Mr.. Cuiberson said that the con-
duct Of the negro soldiers had been
very irritating to the Brownsville
people and especially SO to the wotn-
EN-. He related that on August 4,
last, the day before the "shooting
up" of the town, criminal assault
had been committed by one Of the
soldiers OH the wife Of reputable
citizen and said that no arrests had
been made for the crime. Mr.. Cul-
berson defended Captain Mcdonald;
of the Texas Rengers, to whom Mr..
Foraker had referred because Of
Major Blocksom reference to him
as tian who was $50 brave that
he would not hesitate to charge hell
with bucket of waters Mr.. Cul=
berson also said that he knew Major
Biocksom to be a. gentleman.
Defends the President.
In defending President Roosevelt
for his dismissal of the troops, Mr.
Culberson said the fact that the
troops were negroes had nothing
to do with their discharge, Confu-
sion as to the legal question involved
was, he said, resposible for the state-
ment that the President had no all
thority to make the discharge. The
Presidents constitutional authority
and the authority given him by the
articles of war clearly covered the
case and made his action legal, he
declared, He contended that dis
charges for criminal offenses are COW
cred in the articles of war as are also
discharges made to effect punishment.
Mr. Culberson said that there was
a distinction between a discharge
without honor" In the former case
the President could exercise his dis
cretion as he had done in the instance
only he made as the result of a court
martial. He instanced several cases
to sustain his position.
Negro Soldiers Motive.
TO establish the motive actuating
the negro soldiers in creating the all
