FORAKER PAYS FOR 1T.
Senator Puts Up the Money for
Brownsville Investigation.

Washington, March 15.-That Senator
Foraker is gathering evidence at his
own expense in defense of former negro
soldiers who We're discharged from the
army for alleged completely in the
shooting up of Brownsville, Tex, was
disclosed today in a sharp clash between
members of the senate committee on
military affairs which is investigating
the Brownsville affray.
Senator Overman, Foster and Warner
had piled number of witnesses with
questions as to whom they had talked
with before coming to Washington to
testify. These witnesses confessed that
they had been interviewed by a man
named Ferguson as to what they knew
concerning the Brownsville affair and
the senators named then displayed an
active interest in Ferguson's mission
and as to whether he was a white man
or a negro.
During the inquiry Senator Foraker
sat silent until the question seemed to
raise some doubt as to whether a wit
ness was telling the truth concerning
his acquaintance with Ferguson and
the senator interrupted, saying:
Ferguson went down to Fort Sam
Houston a my expense. [ sent him
down there to talk With several per-
sons and find out what they knew. If
an yone suspects that the manner OF
handling of witnesses is not as it
should be, I would like to take the
stand and make an explanation"
Assurance was given by Senator
Foraker that Ferguson had no connec-
ton with the constitutional league and
Senator Overman asked laugfingly:
Wen, is he a niger or a white
MANI"
II don't know think he is a
nulatto," replied Senator Foraker. He
then withdrew the remarks for the
same reason he said. that he was in
doubt and did not want to give offense-
It insisted :. that former Governor
Black of New York, who was engaged
by the constitutional league to defend
these negro soldiers. should conduct the
examination added Mr.. Foraker.
You did not want him and that is
the way I came to be designated. AS
to Ferguson, I want ii understood now
for all time that 1 employed him my
self and 1 did 1t at my own expense
The incident was passed over after
an exchange of compliments between
Senator Foraker and the senators TAX
ing the opposite side of the case.

CLOSE WITH CHEERS.
Complete Confidence Seems Restored
in the Stock Market.

New York, March 15.-The market
had another setback when the prelim-
mary figures on the currency movement
of the week appeared. indicating
weak bank tomorrow. The same deter
mined support appeared in the market
as on previous setbacks and prices rose
again to a level higher than before.
The rise in Union Pacific in the last
hour revived rumors of a change of con-
troll of that property from Hartman to
Morgan interests. At Mr.. Harrimans
office the rumor was treated as too alb
surd for denial and at the office of ]. P.
Morgan & Co. it was said that no foun-
dation existed for the story.
The market continued very active and
buoya1t during the final hour. Conf
deuce seemed completely restored by
the absence of any failures. Wild cheer
ing followed the closing of business on
the exchange.

Chicago, March 15.-A dispatch to

Governor Cummins, when asked for
A statement of his views with respect
to railroad legislation, said that there
was no danger that the Iowa leg1s-
lature would do injustice to any prop

ssThere is no danger that the Iowa
legislature will pass any laws unjust to
railway or any other kind of prop
erty." he said mo legislation is pro-
posed that will reduce the earnings of
railways below the point of absolute
safety to those who have their money
invested in stocks and bonds.
THE men who hope to make for
tunes out of the manipulation of base

These are the men who have made leg
islation necessary and they are now
endeavcring to use natural business

indefensible methods.

Events have moved so rapidly. changes
of such momentous nature have taken
place, our political and Industrial and
social life has developed so far beyond

what it was that he did for his coun-

of his remarkable career. This is all
the harder because the approximately
