showed a radical change for the bet

hlarher and better Mormonlsm. He de
nied that the protestants had made
good in any .of the charge against
fcmoot. After reviewing the charges
and tha ara-umenls to sustain them at
. lensrth. Hopkins concluded with tlie
declaration that he would be false to

- Beverldsre supplemented HopRlna'
speech by the statement that the
country should be Informed that Smoot
was not and never had been a polyga-
mlst.
Polygamy Under Church Ban.
Fulton asked Hopkins whether the
Mormon church had recoarnlzed the 20
polygamous marriages which the evi
dence shows had taken place since
the manifesto of 1SS0.
Hopkins said the church had not
recognized these marriages; that under
the laws of the Mormon .church today
such marriages were not permitted,
and that the parties contracting- them
Knew tney were violating both the
civil law and tho church law, and for
thnt reason all of these marriages had
been consummated In Canada.
Dubois aslced if Smoot had done any
thing to oring these persona to justice.
Hopklna held that there was no more
obligation on Smoot In this respect
than on anyone else. He maintained
that Smoot had. In his position in the
church, done more to stamp out polyg
amy than any other man "and yet you
propose to punish him for tills by ex
pelling; him from the Senate."
Dubois Asks Questions.
Dubois wanted to know where- and
wnen Smoot had ever publicly placed
himself on record, aa condemning po-
lyframy. Hopkins replied that Smoot
had 20 or 40. times stated his position
before the committee and that his
whole life and every fibre of his being
tv an a protest against polygamy. It
whs not necessary, he ' maintained, for
Smoot to s ha. Ice his fist In the face of
any man and announce his position.
nor wft9 It necessary for him to rise
st the table and denounce President
Smith, of the Mormon Church.
"The Senator himself, replied Hop-
kirns, "dare not etand up here on this
floor or any other place and say that
Tteed Smoot has not been a persistent
opponent of the practtee of polygnmy.'
Dubois demanded to have pointed
out In the committee testimony where
moot had stated his position. Hop
kins, however, took his seat and Cul-
lom was recoicnlxed to call up the lea-
ltMattve appropriation hill and no an
wpr was made to Dubois.

"There are few Americans In the Thll
lnnlnes In business now. exceot those en
gaged in the railroad work." said judge

Is rapidly beln? pushed forward, so that
it lias already given a great impetus to
general conditions. The nystem will con-
nect all the'prlnclpal island irom uum
on the north to visayans on uib suulh.
"With these linen finished, the proposed
agricultural bank established there -will
be nothing: wanting toward the prosperity
of the Philippines, and we of the 1'nited
States will find we drove a good bargain
when w took them over."
