FORAKER CRITIcIsEs

Foraker observed that the testimony
amounted to a great deal, for the Pres
ident tells us It is conclusive. But
il does not remove the objection 1 have
held from the beginning of this pro-
ceeding," said the Senator. What I
have been trying to contend for is to
secure a hearing of the men charged
with these serious crimes. This testi-
mony has been taken as the other was,
behind closed doors. without anybody
representing the men,
THAT is the reason i shall not de-
sist" continued Foraker, ''notwith-
standing what the President has said
as to the character of il, from press
ing for an investigation Of the subject
where the men who are charged with
the crimes Of murder. perjury and con-
spiracy can be heard, to the end that
IL they can establish any facts in their
favor they may have an opportunity to
do so"
Later Foraker went to the clerks
desk and unwrapped the package and
took from the cigar box for a thor
Ough inspection the bullets and shells
the President had sent.

GUILT ESTABLISHED

1.-The finding Of this ammunition in
itself" says the message, establishes
the guilt Of the soldiers and would be
conclusive If the soldiers were neither
heard nor seen by Brownsville resi-
dents upon the night in question"
The evidence Of fourteen reputable
witnesses is submitted These saw the
attack in its various features and sub
mitted sworn statements. Twenty
other witnesses saw minor phases Of
the affair and made statements accord
ingly. From all this the President
gathers the information that twenty
negro soldiers committed the outrage
and that some OF the shots were fired
into the town from the fort.
The shooting was done at mid
night" says the message. After the
first volley the soldiers advanced upon
the town, firing into residences. Few
Of the soldiers in the fort therefore
could have been ignorant Of the affair.
Indeed, from this additional evidence,
il is probable that bit few Of the sol
diers dismissed could have missed see
ing the attack. ] have gone carefully
over each issue OF law and fact that
has been raised. I am now satisfied
that the effect OF my order was to bar
these men from all civil employment
under the Government, and therefore
that part Of the order which consisted
of declaration TO this effect was lack
ing in validity and / have directed that
such portion be revoked"

pEFENp PREsIpENT

Senators Mallory. Clay and Spooner
spoke in defense of the Presidents ac-
ton. Clay aroused Tillman to several
Interruptions by his severe comments
on the South Carolina Senator's speech.
but the debate caused no sensational
remarks or scenes. Senator Spooner
will continue his speech tomorrow.
In his message the President declares
that the negro troops at Brownsville
committed the following crimes: Muir
der of Frank Nature, an assault on
Lieutenant of Police Dominguez, as
sault on Mr.. and Mrs Hale Odin and
son. shooting into houses containing
women and children.
MY evidence" says the message
proves beyond the possibility of
doubt that some individuals among the
colored troops ! have dismissed com
mitted these outrages. and that others
had knowledge of the deed and shield
ed the guilty from the law.
The President dismisses as ridiculous
the charge that the Brownsville cit
liens committed the outrage with
view Of throwing odium on the negroes
and obtaining their dismissal That
the criminals were soldiers was shown
by the fact that reputable whites saw
their uniforms heard their voices, rec
ognized them as negroes; the fact, that
Springfield rifles were used, no weapons
Of that kind being in the hands Of the
civilians, and an examination Of the
shells and cartridges showing that they
could not have been fired from Krag-
Jorgensen or Winchester rifles.

A recent report concerning railways
In China says, according to the New
York Herald: THE construction of the
railway between Laoki and Yunnanfu
(thc great enterprise to which all we'll
wishers of Yuannan look forward as
one of the means of permitting this
province to take her proper place in
the markets of the WORLDLY has been
perseveringly pushed forward in the
face of great difficulties, both climatic
and economic. The vile climate of the
Namati valley has levied q heavy toll
on those who have dared 20 open up its
primeval jungles and gullles. The death
rate among the coolies imported from
various parts of the empire and put to
work in this dreaded valley may, with
out exaggeration, be estimated at
1000, or 20 per cent of the total num-
Der employed on that parti cular section
of the line. The company las made
praiseworthy efforts to counteract the
evils of the climate in this valley.
Instead of attempting to carry on
the work in the Namati valley all the
year through, the work is suspended
almost entirely during +ha summer
rains, and the coolies are moved I'D to
the works on the high and healthier
plateau. This measure, wni,e it econ
omizes the life of that most important
individual in the building of any rail-
way-namely, the coolie-lnust consid-
erably delay the completion Cf the line,
and we must, therefore, wait until
1910 at least for that great desidera-
tum, the linking up Of Yunnanfu with
Haliphong.
''The year under review marks an
important epoch In the history of
French railway enterprise in Indo-
China. On Christmas day the first To-
connective reached Laokai, on the Ton
king Yunnan border, and it is hoped
that the coming spring will see the
commencement of a through railway
service between Haliphong and Lao

natures utterly failed.
Voltaire reached submits that no
philosopher of his time even aspired
to attain to. 1t was an age where
friendship Of royalty and the patron
age of nobility counted for everything
in the line of material success. Vol
taire, without fawning; in fact, on the
contrary, openly disregarding this
class, was nevertheless treated by them
with most remarkable consideration.
The great Frederick Of Prussia sent
for Voltaire to come from France to be
his guest, and treated him with the
consideration he would have extended
to royal guests.
And yet while Voltaire had reached
this high position, his youth had been
one of constant trial. He had tried
almost every occupation and had
failed most miserably at every one he
tried.
After each failure he began again
with undaunted courage. Even his i'm
prisonment did not deter him. He
started life anew after his years in the
Bastile with an assurance worthy OF
its reward.

The origin of the use of mahogany
is said to have been as follows: A
West Indian trader brought home sew
eral logs of mahogany as ballast for his
ship. The traders brother, a London
physician, happened to be building a
house. and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal, the doctor gave
orders to his workmen accordingly, but
their tools were not able to make an i'm
preston on the hard wood. The doctor
ordered fresh tools to be made, and at
length succeeded in finding implements
which would cut the timber. Delighted
with his discovery he ordered bureau
to be made, and SO beautiful was it
that it attracted general attention.
