Borah Makes Speech.
Washington, April 20.—The Browns-
ville affair, was again a subject of in
'tcrest in the senate today, when Sena-
tor Borah (Idaho) took the ground that
negro soldiers of the 25th infantry

in the Texas town August 1 :!-14. 1906.
Mr. Borah analyzed the testimony ta-
ken in this case and declared that no
reasonable man could read it ami fail
to be convinced that the negro soldiers
"shot up" the town. He scouted the
suggestion of a conspiracy among the
citizens of Brownsville to create a
state of riot in tbeir own town and
wound and kill their own citizens in
order to secure the removal of the
negro troops.
The speech was Mr. Borah's first in
the senate and received marked atten-
tion from senators on both sides of the
ehamper and from visitors who crowd-
ed the galleries.

tion during the day to the hill devot-

bonic plague continues to be report-

months: and,
"Whereas, it. is alleged that this
great advance in the price of paper is
made possible by the duty of six dol-
lars per ton on print paper, Inina the
same rule of duty for the last eighteen
years and in the last three tariff laws;
and,
“Whereas, ll is claimed and assert
cd that the price ,,f print paper Is In
no wise affected sir the tariff, that the
increase in- the price of recent da e
has not beaut excessive and is not the
result either of tariff import duty or
of any combination or io!,splra". in
restraint of trade or otherwise; but is
the result wholly of the Increase nf
cost of raw materials and the increase
in the wages paid for labor and the
shortening (,f the hours of labor per
day; and,
"Whereas. On Mar !l. Ban;, itid
meat was entered in the circuit' court

to, reports that It has obtained no evi-
dence sufficient io justify ihe institu-
tion;-;-.of legal proceedings, either civil

called paper combination or iru.-.;. the
complaint refused to furnish legal

binaiion of paper manufacture-, in the
United States have purchas* d the out
put of all the paper mills in Canada,
in excess of home consutnplion which

iIterance of a conspiracy in restraint,

and
“Whereas, it is alleged that lie great,

on (Inane? could conduct such an in-
vestigation on its own account under
the general power given it at each ses-
smn of congress. The resolution giv-
ing this power to tip* senate committee:
provides for sessions of the committee,
during recess. It is regarded as doubt-
ful. how MW. if tip* committee could j
inquire into the private affairs of na-
tional banks if these, institutions
should resist, unless a law is passed
providing for such an ins estigation. A*'
tile same time it is mu believed that
any bank would resist inquiry on tin*
part of an authorized committee of
either house of congress.
From a political point of view f’hlsj
is one of the most important matters!
before congress. From tip* hist week'
the session fher, has been piessure
from the Democratic .members of the
senate, led by Mr. Culberson, for ac-
tion of tills character. Senator Aid-
rich contested action until tin* curren-
cy idil was out of the way. but at tip'
same tilth* gave notice that In* was ;
much interested as the IVmoeiats in
having sui'h an Investigation.
