Tyler Monument Delayed Year.

Richmond, Nov. 17.-Althuugh Con-
gress at the last session took steps to
honor the memory OF President John
Tyler by authorizing the erection of a
monument over bis grave in Holly
wood cemetery, Richmond, Va. at
least another year must elapse before
this plan can be carried out.
It appears that the act, which was
passed March last simply directed the
erection OF suitable monument, not
to exceed in cost the sum Of $4,000
But the secretary OF war who is charged
with the execution Of the act, has dis
covered that Congress omitted an APP
preparation so that he will be obliged
at the approaching session to call at.
tention to this omission aud request a
direct appropriation.

BOOSTS FOR STUAH
Democrats in The Southwest Say
Their Man Cannot be Beaifn
For Governor.

Bristol. Va, Nov. lit is cMimed
here by friends OF Henry G. Stuat that
he will certainly be candidalt for
governor and that he cannot de-
feated, especially 10 view Of the ST emu
Gus 6glt and sacrifice he made the
Ninth District last year when be nade
the race for Congress against ConHress-
man G. L. Slemp, going up agaiH st a
republican majority Of 400 TO 1900
and strong political machine ami yet
coming within 200 votes Of \ elns
elected.
Mr. Stuart's remarkable camphign
il yet fresh in the minds OF the ddm
Gratis OF the state and it will neyei be
forgotten in the Ninth district wbich
was the battle ground "f the most ex
citing congressional contest in the his
tory OF tue state. Both sides were vel
equipped with money and it was spent
| like water.
Mr.. Stuart accepted the nomination
and made the race for Congress nNer
most trying circumstances and az a
time when his friends say it was a Vfry
great sacrifice and greater one I'll Ian
many thought. He travelled and
poke night and day for about i've
months and made campaign that re-
quired physical endurance Of tho high
est order.
1t seems to be the consensus OF on To-
ion among great many democtfts
here that Mr.. Stuart should be rew5td

Finance Committer Reports II Adversely
and II Goes TO the Calendar.

WASHINGTON. Aug 10 Tho Under
wood hill for the revision Of tho cotton
schedule of the tariff law was adversely
reported to the Senate from the Senate
Finance Committee this morning The
next tariff fight in the Senate will revolve
around this measure. and the contes,
promises to be "A spirited one.
Immediately upon the adverse report
being received senator Smoot of Utah
asked unanimous consent that the hill
be made the unfinished business of the
Senate Senator Ov"rman of North Caro-
linn, who has been fighting TO put of con
Eidsration of the cotton bill until next
winter, AZ once objected Senator Hey
burn made the point of order that a re-
quest tor unanimous consent was not the
proper course of procedure, and this point
was sustained by tn" Chair. The bill then
went to the Senate calendar.
The Republican progressives intend to
offer as amendments TO the cotton bill
other measures relating to various other
schedules. Mr.. La Toilette has in course
of preparation a cotton bill of his own
which he will offer. Mr., Cummins will
offer an amendment revising the duties
in the iron and steel schedule, and MIR.
Bristow of Kansas has n sugar bill and an
other for the revision of the duties on lead
and zinc. All Of these will he urged as
amendments to the cotton bill There
would he no other opportunity to offer
them unless the House should rcpOrt
other tariff legislation, which is now con
sidored unlikely.
The debate on the cotton bill NAV con-
sumo two or three weeks. but the general
impression ON both sides of the Capitol
Is in favor of an adjournment by Aug. 10

OPPOSES PEACE TREATIES.
senator Bacon Says They Take From the
Senate Powers Conferred Upon II.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 10.-Senator Bacon
OF Georgia. who Is one of the chief OBJ
jectors to the arbitration treaties with
Great Britain. and France. recently ne
gotiated. expressed doubt to-day on leav-
ing the city to attend the funeral OF
Senator Frye. as TO whether the treaties
would be ratified at the extra session of
Congress. He contends that the treaties
take away from the Senate the power
conferred upon it in the Constitution;
that they deny 1t the right TO say whether
or not each international question shall
be submitted to arbitration.
The most important thing in any dis
pute. Senator Bacon holds. is the decision
as to whether or not it should be arbi.
trated. and he contends that the Senate
should retain this power In it's own hands.
He pointed out that no man could tell
what difficulties would arise within the
next decade or the next century involving
the relations OF the United States and
foreign countries.
1T might he dispute involving the
Monroe Doctrine" he said. at might
be dispute involving repudiated bonds
Of some Of the States Of the Union In
all OF these cases the Senate should have
the power to say whether we should
arbitrate. Why take this power from
the hands Of the Senate? Is the Senate
to be distrusted when questions come
up affecting vital interests and national
honor? Are we to deliver into the hands
of high commission a decision which
the Constitution says shall only he rem
dered by two-thirds majority Of the
Senate in ratifying a treaty? I am op-
posed to the Senate surrenderng its right
to say what questions are justiciable.
though am not opposed To the principle
Of arbitration and believe that course
should be followed in the overwhelming
majority Of disputes"
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations will meet again on Saturday
morning to resume consideration of the
treaties. Chairman Cullom declines to
make any prediction as to the outcome.
