And PrOIOng the Debate Over the Browns
 vile Affray
Suspicion by the Republicans That New Amend ment Injected Yesterday Was Intended to Produce Embarrassment.

Washington Jan. 1.-The legal phrase Of President Roosevelrs dis charge Of the negro troops was again injected into the controversy in the senate today by notice of an amend ment to the Foraker compromise reso- lution which MT. Blackburn said he should support.
 MT. Foraker who had concluded his argument. at once declared his oppo- sition to the amendment. He discussed the power of the executive, holding that the affray al Brownsville ought to be investigated. simply as t0 the facts and the question of the presidents . power determined later. The consider alton of the resolution was deferred until Monday.
 The republican leaders accept the Blackburn amendment as a political move and most of them express an opinion that it is the result of dem ocratic conference. Mr. Blackburn de- nies this but says with apperent con fidence that it will have practically the unanimous support of the demo- cratic senators.
 The republicans arc trying to get a unanimous agreement to lay the amendment on the table. but some ol the republicans express a disinclna- tion to pursue that course because of the fear that it would be construed as a reflection on the president.
 There is talk of a caucus if later developments make it advisable.
 Eulogies on the life and character Of the late Wm. Pate. of Tennessee. were delivered after which the senate ad- jOurned as a mark of respect to his memory.

Taaw was suffering from when he shot
White. The witness said that he be-
lieved Thaw suffered from some sort
Of insanity, but there were not enough
facts in the Hypothetical question for
him to yet determine definitely the
particular form. The cross eXamina-

If the members of the board of super
yisors aroused the greatest interest in
the proceedings of that body. When
it was announced last night that the
grand jury would probably remain in
session all night, it was conceded that
extraordinary results may be looked
for.
The Bulletin last night published an
extra" declaring that plot involving
the granting Of valuable street railway
privileges was laid bare today.
1t is charged that s450,Ooo was paid
to high officials to permit the con-
version of the street railway system
into electric lines and the bulk of this
money was retained by "a mysterious
man." and that small sums were par
celed out to permit granting the re-
quired franchises. Another story is
that rival telephone companies each
paid large sums of money. one to shut
off competition and the other to secure
the right of competing for public pat
ronage. Another charge is that cor
ruption fund of $4,000 was raised by
prize fight promoters to secure a mo-
nopoly of fight permits. The supervis-
ors were directly concerned with all of
these legislative acts.

a new theory regarding the cause of

whose afterpart was destroyed by the
explosion Of magazine March u,
resulting in considerable loss of life.
He says that at the time of the ex-

wireless currents were passing, and he
believed that the vessels isolation in

Furious Attack on Roosevelt.

Charleston, S. c., March ia fur
ious philippe was launched against
President Roosevelt here last night by
Colonel George B. NJ. Harvey, editor
of the North American Review, in an
address at banquet of the Sons of
st. Patrick Colonel Harvey is at the
head OF all the Harper publications.
In biting terms the speaker accused
the president of trampling upon the
American constitution. Of humiliating
and deriding 1t and of seeking utterly
to doom the rights of the states he
even limited that the supreme court Of
the United States was being packed
by President Roosevelt in his efforts
to override constitutional checks.
In his speech, which was remarkable
for its direct accusation and vitrolic
sarcasm, Colonel Harvey denounced
the president as insincere, as preach
ing one thing and practicing another
and as a demagogue, in that he stirred
up the people to wrath against the cor
porations for his own political aggran-
diZement.
Dire disaster was predicted by the
sneaker as a result of the attitude of
President Roosevelt and the radical ele-
ment in his party. He cited historical
precedent and described the manner in
which the Jacksonians had aroused the
people against organized wealth and
told of the disastrous aftermath which
came in the panic and sufferinss of the
Van Buren, administration.
Colonel Harvey said in part:
cone overpowering question now
confronts the American people. Shall
they rule themselves or shall they be
ruled? Shall their sovereignty con-
tinue to be popular however made
quate, or become paternal. however
beneficial? Shall it be a government OF
the peoplesor by the people, govern
ment based upon principle or a govern
ment relying upon expediency?
"The results that have ensued from
the plan of the founders of the repub-
lic even to the excessive prosperity Of
which happily We are now able to COM
plain, would seem to prove the wisdom
of the conclusion reached by those old
er statesmen, and yet we are told by
those now in executive authority that
the time has come when the great body
of citizens, convinced of the essential
inadeduacy of that original policy to
meet the requirements of new condi-
tions, demand that the pendulum be
swung back and that the federal gov
ernment be vested with plenary power.
Secretary Root marked the tendency
and President Roosevelt not only ac-
cepts, but reaches eagerly for the re-
sponsibility."
