call, debate being held not to be busi-
ness. After Mr. La Toilette had been
twice recognized by the chair an old
ruling, invoked a number OF years ago
at the suggestion of former Senator
David b. Hill of New York, to the
effect that a senator cannot speak
more than twice on a subject In one
legislative day, unless other business
intervenes, was brought up. As the
senate will continue the currency dis
cussion under the legislative date of
May 20 Mr.. La Toilette realized that
he could not get the floor again II he
surrendered Ii. As a result he gave
an unprecedented exhibition of endur-
ance. His exploit is all the more re-
markable for the reason that his own
party was wholly without sympathy
for HIS effort, and he had but few sup

Night Long to Be Remembered.
The night was one that will long
be remembered by senators. The heat
In the chamber was oppressive and
the attempts TO maintain a quorum
prevented the fifty odd senators now
In the city from getting rest Finally
the sergeant-at-arms was directed to
keep these senators at the capitol,
which was an almost impossible task.
AS soon as some of them were
brought in they would answer to their
names and depart for their homes.
The Republican leaders were particu.
larly anxious that Senators Stone and
Gore should not be permitted to get
an undisturbed nights rest and they
were routed out of bed by the deputy
sergeants-at-arms of the senate They
were brought into the chamber half
dressed, but they did not remain long
enough for their dishabille to be gen.
orally noticed.
Throughout the day and night Sen
ator La Toilette sustained himself on
q punch of egg and milk and on one
occasion during a roll call he ate a
sandwich. He husbanded his strength
by sitting on the arm of his chair
as he talked and for the most part
his speech was delivered In a ccnver'
sational and dispassionate tone.

issue with me and was as vigorous
partisan as if he had been employed by
Senator Fulton of Oregon to secure the
rejection of Bristol. At that hearing
Senator Kittredge was non-committal,
but / left the committee meeting thol-
ouehly convinced that the cards had
been stacked against Bristol and my
self by Senator Fulton in the selec-
tion of the ub-committee and that
neither Senator Kittredge nor Senator
Foraker had any intention of deciding
the case upon its merits.
When Senator Knox first saw the
Bristol letter he informed the presi-
dent that it did not seem susceptible
of any explanation consistent with
Bristol's integrity. AS soon, however,
as Senator Knox read the affidavits of
the other parties to the transaction he
said to me:
Read in the light of Bristol s prior
conversations with the party to whom
this letter was written, the letter not
only fails to impugn the honesty of
Bristol but on the contrary it is one of
the strongest proofs of his honest char
acter and integrity and | authorize you
to tell the president that | say so and
that / am ready to do everything in
my power to assist in undoing the in
Justice which was done to Bristol by
withdrawing his name from the sell
ate.
Thereafter Senator Knox appeared
before the aforesaid foul lawyer mem,
bers of the cabinet with me and made
an argument in Bristol's behalf.
Bristol's name was not returned to
| the senate to give him an opportunity
to close up the prosecutions which he
| had begun put for the purpose of doing
simple justice to an honest man who
had been unjustly accused.

Senator Fulton of Oregon led in the
opposition to Bristol and it was because
of this that Heney went to Oregon and
took the stump against Fulton. Full.

Bristol, but his repentance came toe

for denomination in the Oregon primary

Heney is the man who was chosen by

STALWARTS JARRED
Heney Hands Them a Bitter
Dose, Hard to
Take

Sioux Falls Press, 30: Mr. E. G.
Kennedy, manager of the Kittredge
campaign. was considerably Jared by
the straightforward statement by
Francis J. Heney, the famous foe of
graft in San Francisco, California and
Oregon, published in the Press Thurs
day morning, and so Kennedy sent a
telegram to Heney.
I'm his comprehensive statement to
the Press, Mr. Heney declared emphati-
cally that the charge on which Senator
Kittredge prevented the confirmation of
w. c. Bristol as United States attor-
ney to prosecute the Oregon land
thieves, was inspired by malice in the
interest of the land fraud crimi mails. =
Heney's reputation as an unsullied
character. valient representative of
the people, and a relentless enemy .of
graft, is nation wide, and so MIR. Ken
nedy was worried by Mr. Heney's en-
dorsement of everything the Press has
said about Kittredge's relations with
Bristol Accordingly he dispatched
the following telegram to Mr. Heney I:
Sioux Falls, s. d, May %, 1908.
''Is letter over your signature to edi-
tor of Sioux Falls Press May 20. 1908,

tic: Il personally investigated the

est of land fraud criminals and was ut
terly without any merit.
-"E. G. Kennedy,

Mr.. Heney was out of San Francisco
when the telegram from Kennedy ar
rived, but he returned there yesterday
and Immediately dispatched the follow.

APPEALS TO THE POWERS
Greece Asks That Warships Be Sent
to Sanaos.

Constantinople, June 1.-According
to an official telegram received here
from Athens mail steamer with $50
women and children refugees from the
island of Samos has arrived at Syra,
one of the islands of the Cyclades
group, and reports tie continuation of
serious situation on Samos. The
refugees say that a battalion of Turk
ish troops recently arrived at Vathy,
capital of the island, and at once COM
menced to fire indiscriminately. Many
people were killed or wounded. The
story of the refugees is discredited
here
The Greek government is urging the
three powers under whose protection
Samos has been since 1S32-France,
Great Britain and Russia-to send
warships to the island.
The porte is anxious for a settle
ment of the trouble with the least
possible bloodshed and has instructed
its officials there to act with the great
est moderation. There is little sym
pathy here for the Samians, who are
thought to have brought on the
troubles by their own folly.

Thomas r. Ryan and Others Said to
Have Assisted Bryan.

New York, June 1.-According to a
report printed here Thomas f. Ryan
contributed $4,000 to a fund to sup
port a campaign in Nebraska in the
fall of 1904, having for its principal
object the election of William ]. Bry-

stated in this report that Mr. Ryan

and that Mr. Sheehan gave other
checks for that amount to T. s. Allen,
who was then chairman of the Dem
ocratic state central committee of Ne
braska and who is said to have been
in New York at that time. II is as
serted that the donors of this fund
expected that Mr. Bryan would, after
this contribution, give an unqualified
support TO the candidacy of Alton b.
Parker, the Democratic candidate for
president, and that Mr.. Bryan would
"let up In his attacks on the financiers
who were backing the campaign"
