 Many of the senators had placed great interest in the character of the rebel leaders and the strength of the constitutionalast movement. The ques- ton Of the United States recognizing the belligerency of the constitutional ists was dwelt upon. the general opin- diplomatic move on the part of the United States had not arrived.

BECKER ACCUSES vALLoN.
Intends to Run Down the Murderers of
 Rosenthal.

Ossining, N. Y, Feb. 25.-As soon as Charles Becker gets out of prison and he seemed confident today of his ultimate releaSe-he will devote all his energies, he says. to running down the men who are responsible for the mur- der of Herman Rosenthal. The former New York police lieutenant, who was granted a new trial yesterday for the Rosenthal murder, declared today that he could furnish the information that would bring the real culprits to jus tice.
 After I have done that" said Becker, "I shall be willing to go back to the police department, if they want me. If they do not. I will enter some other line of work.
 My case, at its present status, proves beyond all doubt that you can't get away with frameup. The light is bound to sift through sooner or later.
 '''rhe four gunmen are terribly down. hearted today because they, too, were not granted a new trial I feel sorry for them. They thought their case was tied up with mine. It was hard when they were told the truth.
 ance policies from the district attorney for swearing away my life may yet be arrested for the murder of Rosenthal. l think Harry Vallon is the man who fired the fatal shot That's the reason he got drunk before the killing. He wanted to get his nerve up for the deed. He needed courage to pull the trigger of his revolver"

WILL BE PUNISHED.
Mexicans Who Hanged American citi- zen to Be Ferreted out-Assurances Given to U. s. Consul.

Laredo, Tex. Feb. 25.-Assurances that the men responsible for the exc eution of Clemente Vergara, the Amer ican citizen hanged by Mexican feder- als near Hidalgo, Mexico, would be punished. have been given United States Consul Garret at Neuvo Laredo by Colonel Alvarez, commanding the NeuVo Laredo garrison. Just what steps are being taken was not made known, but it is understood the federal officer assured Consul Garret that in- vestigation of the case would be thor ough.
 Colonel Alvarez is relative of Gen. eral Alvarez. federal commander at Piedras Negras, whose order that Yer gara should be released came after the hanging. At that time General Alvarez was ignorant of the execution, it is state. General Alvarez also had order ed the arresting officer to report to Piedras Negras to explain Vergara' s detention and the alleged assault on the American.
 Fergara leaves widow and three children
 Consul Garret, with J. Hill, Yer gaTa's Drotner-in-law, expects to visit the scene of the execution early to- morrow.
 Vergara was 9, citizen of Webb county, Tex, where he engaged in the ranchiag business. He ued an island in the Rio Grande, opposite his ranch GC r aiaIOX, rex, dS pasture TOT his l horses. Vergara complained that Mex ica,n federals were stealing his horses and 8 small detachment of Texas rangers were sent to his ranch. On Feb. 13 Mexicans appeared on the island and called on Vergara to come over, saying they would pay him for the horses. The rangers advised against compliance with the request but the ranchman decided to go. When Vergara reached the island according to reports. he was knocked back of the head by a soldier and made unconscious. He was then carried into the interior of Mexico.
 Representations in behalf of Vergara were made to the federal connandant at Neuvo Laredo and to General Maass at Monterey. The ranchman's release 1 was promised and apprehension for his safety was ailayed until his long ab- sence caused additional inquiries to be made. Information was given out by the Mexican authorities that Vergara's release already had been ordered Yesterday reports were brought tc l Consul Garret that vergara had beer hanged by the Mexicans. either on the l night of his capture or the morning
 after, and the consul despatched ar
 ernissary to TIidalgo to learn the facts l The report confirming the hanging was 1 brought here today.

'Pestiferous
 InterferenCe''
NoRals-cLAPP RESOLUTION so
 cHARAcTERIzED
TABLED IN THE SENATE
Called for information With Reference
 to Separation of New Haven and B. & NJ. R. R.-PIsa by Senator Ledge.

Washington, Feb. 25.-In response to , arguments that the Norris Clapp reso- iution calling upon the attorney gen eraI TOT information regarding the governments agreement with the New York New Haven and Hartford Raii- road company for it's separation from the Boston and Maine was a reflection on Attorney General McReynolds and an unJ nJustlted interference with the re- organization, the senate today killed the resolution by laying it on the ta- oie. Senator Norris himself accepted the action as final and will not again seek to bring the resolution to the att tention of the senate
 Tabled by Vote of 8 ts g.
 The resolution would have called the senate if he had entered into any agreement with the New Haven which would give past officials or fiscal agents immunity from prosecution O. bar suits for recovery to the stock holders for the dissipation of New Haven funds. Senator Clapp proposed an amendment asking the attorney general to lay before the senate the full text Of any agreement with the Now Haven concerning the Boston and Maine.
 It was Senator Reed, democrat. who cut short debate on the resolution by moving to lay it on the table His motion was sustained by a vote of S3 [. 23. Senators divided irrespective Of party.
 A "Pestiferous" Interference. Senator Reed declared the resolution was an inference that the attorney general was not to be trusted to carry on the negotiations for a new manage ment of the Boston and Maine, in lieu Of court proceedings to compel the separation of the Boston and Maine from the New Haven by virtue of the Sherman antitrust law
 Senator Reed concurred In the sue- geStlon of Senator Lodge that the res olution would be -pestiferous'' inter- ference with the reorganization of the Boston and Maine.
 Lodge Pleads for New England.
 Senator Lodge appealed to the sen 1 ate not to meddie in the affairs of an executive department and to pay some need to the wishes of the people of New England in regard to the question which affected them so vitally.
 This resolution will injure the re- organization" he said because the Boston and Maine will find itself un- ! g. ~ 70 oorrSW money except at eaisex- | orbitant rate if it's affairs are to be | dragged over by the senate every day | or so. The Boston and Maine is a fine property. With good trustees, it will be dlvidend-paying property within two or three years, but it must bor- row S25,000.000 before July l. The Qu1cKer the reorgan1zatlon IS enected 1 the easier it will be to borrow the money and the quicker the people of 1 New England will get improved sex- l vice from this line"
 Norris Produces Telegram. r. Senator Norris questioned the stAxe-
 ment that the resolution was opposed by the people of New England. He ! put into the record a telegram de- scrioing a mass meeting of 1,eo0 busi- | ness men in Faneuil Hall yesterday.
