NOT LIKELY TO
BE REINSTATED
Senate Committee Votes Down Bills
for Re-Enistment Of Discharged
Negro Soldiers.

Washington, April 1.-The five Dem.
ocratic members of the Senate com
mittee on military affairs yesterday
succeeded in defeating both the War.
ner and Foraker bills for restoration
to duty of negro soldiers of the
TWenty-fifth Infantry, who were dis
charged without honor because of the
affray at Brownsville, Texas. The
success of the minority was accom-
plished by voting as a unit against
the divided majority. The effect will
be to cause both bills to be reported
adversely. A majority vote OF the
nate would enact one OF the bills
.owever, and Senator Warner is hope
full that his measure will yet become
law.
The essential point of differences
between the two bills is that the War
ner measure provides that the presi
dent may reinstate any soldier upo1
becoming satisfied that he is innocent
Of the charge against him, while the
Foraker bill compels the reinstate
ment Of such soldiers if they make
oath of their innocence
When the committee met Sena
tor Warner moved to report his bill
favorably whereupon Senator Foraker
moved to substitute his bill. The lat
ter motion was defeated the five Dem
ocrats, Messrs. Taiiferro, Oyerman
Frazier and McCreary, Joined with
Messrs. Warren, Lodge. Warner ani
Dupont in opposing it. A vote was
then taken on the Warner bill, and i
was voted down, the five Democrats
joining with Senators Scott, Foraker
and Bulkeley in opposition.

granted by Judge McFie that the mat
ters discussed might be taken into full
consideration by him. One of the
points raised was whether the COM

case had been taken into court.
Judge McFie took the matter under
advisement.

cIares Ecclesiastical Court.

preferred against Chancellor Day of
Syracuse University by Reverend

mont, were ruled out of court by Bish-
op David H. Moore at the opening of

direct attack upon free speech and
free press. The decision was greeted
with cheers and long continued ap-

contained five counts and were to the
effect that he had defarmed President

PoPULisTS GATHER IN
CONVENTION At ST. LOUIS

St. Louis, April Humorous dele.
gates to the Populist convention ar
rived last night and today and it be-
came evident from the expression of
the late arrivals there is small chance
of the convention taking stand
against prohibition. Some opposition
has developed to Jacob 8. Coxey as
temporary chairman on the ground
that there are Populists whose record
for party loyalty Is better, but SO far
Coxey has the strongest following.
The Nebraska delegation which Is. in.
structed for Bryan had not arrived up
Ito noon. There is strong feeling
against Nebraska for endorsing Bryan
and the delegates may not be seated.
