TRYING TO BREAK JAM

he concluded. Senator Morgan continued
his' remarks in opposition to the treaty in
Its present shape.
Quay's FcellnRs Hurt.
The most interesting event of the day
transpired before the beginning of the
routine proceedings, when Senator Quay
rose to a question of personal privilege.
He sent to the desk and had read an art!- ;
cle from a New York paper of this morn- '
lng accusing him of violating a pledge
which, the paper stated, be had made In 1
the Republican caucus Wednesday, to sup
port the treaty to the exclusion of every
other subject. He said such was not the
case, but on the contrary, he had protested
to the last In a caucus against any action
looking to the displacement of the state
hood bill. He called upon other Senators
to testify to this effect, and several did
so, among them Senator Foraker, who said
he was quite sure that Senator Quay made
no such pledges. Senator Lodge stated
that he had not heard him make any such
remark.
Senator Nelson expressed the opinion
that a pledge was at least Implied.
Senator Hoar thought that the proceed
ings of the caucus should not be revealed,
not even In an executive session.
Senator Burton expressed the opinion
that there should be a committee on pub
lication, and having taken the floor for
that purpose went on with his statehood
speech.
After Senator Morgan had spoken for nn
hour or more he gavj way to Quay, but
before the latter had well begun Senator
Carmack moved that Morgan be allowed
to discuss the canal question In open
session. In support of the motion ho.
said that the question was of general
Importanco and that the country should
be placed In possession of the detalla.
Move for Open Debate.
The motion brought on a general de
bate. In which the rules of the Senate,
the advisability of a closure, the neceeolty
of maintaining In the Senate a forum of
free speech nnd many other kindred topics
were discussed. Among those who spoke
were: Spooner,. Teller, Depew, Hale and
Bacon, most of whom opposed Carmack s
motion for open doors, on the ground
that It was not expedient to air our re
lations with other countries before the
world at large. The speakers differed
widely, however, as to the expediency of
the policy of delay which It waa freely
charged was now being pursued In con
nection with the Panama treaty on the
one hand and the statehood bill on the
other. Some of the Senators avowed
themselves advocates of a rule of closure.
Others expressed the conviction that the
prolongation of the present situation
would lead to the speedy adoption of such
a rule.
Speaking In thin vein. Senator Hale ex
pressed the conviction that the present
situation In which friends of the state
hood bill had Joined with opponents of
the treaty, was due to a previous under
standing between them and between Sen
ator Quay and Senator Morgan. Morgan
replied earnestly denying that there had
been such combination, to which Hale
replied that he had been led to believe
that such was the case. To this Morgan
replied very tartly that, if Hale chose to
believe what waa not true, he would In
jure only himself.
Quay Uu to Do His Own nendlnsc.
At this point Quay rose and. expressing
impatience with the Interruption, asked
leave to proceed with his speech. No one
objected and the course of. the contro
versy waa shifted without putting Car-
mack's motion to a vote. Quay's , speech
consisted of a long report on the isthmian
canal question. This reading he aeked
the clerk at the desk to perform, but ob
jection was made, and the matter was
submitted to a vote. The reeult was ad
verse to Quay's request; the vote standing
20 to 34. He then began the reading of
the document himself and continued for
two hours or-more. At 5:30 In accordance
with a decision of the steering committee,
Senator Cullom moved a recess until 11
o'clock tomorrow and the motion pre
vailed.

The three brothers. John. Judson and
Asa. and their sister. Abby. formed a
unique quartet-
Belles of 40 or 50 years ago sanir their

the three brothers and the sister had set

All the members of the family. 16 In
number, were musicians, and most of
them sang. The three brothers and sister
began concert work In a very small way.
and soon worked their way Into National
prominence.
For their fidelity to principle they had
to undergo Indignity, and at times they
had to face personal danger. With Gar- I
rison. Phillips. Douglass. Plllsbury. Park-

witn song as their weapon.

Thomas Hood, wife of the English poet;
William nnd Mar- Howltt, loved and ad
mired the singers for their Individuality
and fearless Independence.
The Hutchlnsons were persons of more
than ordinary mental capacity, exceeding
ly sympathetic and enthusiastic. In dress
and personal appearance the men were In
clined to plcturesqueness and oddity.
Their songs were of the home, the
mountains, valleys and rivers. All these
they Invested with a charm peculiarly
their own.
Mr. Hutchinson's voice is still sweet and
tuneful, and when warmed to his subject
It rings out with wonderful power. He Is
a forcible speaker, with an Irresistlbla
fund of humor. His powers of mimicry
have assisted greatly in pleasing and Im
pressing an audience. In his long musical
career he has given 11.000 concerts.

Parasites- Cause All Ilnlr Troubles.
Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp

The Importance of this discovery by Pro

Hamburg, Germany, can not be over
estimated. It explains why ordinary hair
preparations, even of the most expensiva
character, fall to cure dandruff; becauso
they do not. and they can not kill the
dandruff germ. The only hair prepara

the dandruff parasites that burrow up tha
