PRESIDENTS ACT LEFT OUT

Washington, January Faction was
postponed on the Brownsville investi-
cation resolution in the Senate until the
conclusion of the speech of Senator Suth-
erland in the defense of Reed Smoot to
his seat in the Senate.
When Senator Sutherland completed his
speech on the Smoot resolution at 800
p. M, the Brownsville resolution was laid
before the Senate and Senator Mallory
Of Florida addressed the Senate on the
legal questions involved in the Presidents
discharging of the negro troops.
Mr.. Mallory offered a substitute for
the compromise Brownsville resolution
presented yesterday by Mr.. Foraker. The
resolution provides for an investigation
after resolving as follows:
THAT in the judgment of the Senate
the recent action of the President dis
charging without honor enlisted men of
Companies B, C and D of the Twenty
fifth infantry, was within the scope Of
his authority and power, and the proper
exercise thereof"
Language Equlvocal.
Mr.. Mallory said he could not support
the Foraker, resolution because its lam
guage as to the Presidents power was
eQuivocal.
Senator Teller opposed the idea ads
vanced in a recent speech by Senator
Lodge that the President 'inhcritet"
power from the king.
While willing to have an investigation
to secure the facts of the Brownsville af-
fray, Mr.. Teller said he could not support
any provision with any expression either
way as to the Presidents authority in the
matter. The Senate, he believed. should
not raise that question at any time.
Senator Bacon of Georgia supported the
Mallory substitute. He characterized the
agreement among the republicans on the
Foraker resolution as an illustration of
their "extreme dexterity In forming meas
ures for which they can all vote. although
some of them are directly opposed in SEN
timent as in the matter to which that res
olution relates"
The Foraker resolution he declared to
be equiVocal and ambiguous.
When Mr. Bacon remarked that If the
President was content with a compromise
In such language on which those who OPP
posed and supported him could unite, Mr..
Aldrich asked: did | understand the
senator to say that the question whether
the President Is content with the reso-
luton is the main question:"
Mr.. Bacon replied that he thought that
and said what the President must think
was far from the important feature
And" he added, IT think the senator
from Rhode Island had but one purpose
in his question, and it was for me to
emphasize what I had said to the CON
trary"
Replying to Mr.. Bacons argument Mr.
Foraker reviewed the history of the
Brownsville controversy in the Senate to
show that the question of the Presidents
power had been raised by the message
the President had sent TO the Senate on
December II last.

Mr.. Hoadley purposes using all the

Output will be increased sufficient to sup
ply the new blast furnace at Gadsden

later on two blast furnaces will be erect
Ell at Lewisburg, and that after they are
in course of construction steel plant
will he built there. AS soon as the COM
pany is ready for steel making Mr.. Hoad-
ley hopes to erect locomotive works at

Confederate Entertainments Blown Up
A Terrific Engagement in Which
Hcroism unexcelled Was Exhibited

Last night in recalling the historical
events of the Civil War friend OF Cap

1T was at Vicksburg Captain Kin

ton and won the admiration of his men.
A portion of the Cofcderate carthworks

the Yanks. The battery and the men
supporting it were blown up with the
earthwork. Many men were killed out

instant a dozen Federal batteries blazed

the elements of war were turned loose
on this section of the Confederate line.
In front was Osterhaus' division i'll line
for the assault 1t was critiCil mo-
ment. Captain Kinney with his company
was on the left of the chasm with Cap
tain Russell and his company on the
right. These two companies were rushed
to the rescue In an exhibition of gal
lantry which can never be excclled these
two companies met ani checked the on
slaught of this Federal division until
the Missouri brigade had been double
qllickcd to the defense and with other
commands rallied for the emergency.
Finally Osterllaus was beaten and driven
back although he outnumbered the de
tenders four to one
This friend. who was one of the Third
Louisiana, referring to this incident,
said
Il can recall to mind Captain William
Kinney as he was in that terrific engage
ment, holding i'll hand his 1rawn sword
and in the other his pistol. He was calm
and as serene as if he were attending a
party. With words OF encouragement
he held his men in line and cheered
them to the combat. He evlnced no fear
or apprehension whatever. His example
was inspiring. >
This is a tribute to worthy citizen
and to COME lerate soldier who was
loyal to the end.
During the siege Of Nicksburg Cap
tain Kinney exhibited the same courage
and undaun,ed energy which he demon
strated when ali the internal implemets
