2 THE SUNDAY OREGOyiAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 8, 1903. OFF ON A NEW TACK Statehood Debate Has Turned to Mormonism. IS POLYGAMY STILL PRACTICED? Opponrata of DM Say It la In Mexico, jLnd Demand n Xevr Revelation Friends of Jfevr States Rcnerr Chnrse of Obstruction. The- statehood bill a sain yesterday cl&Iraed the crester hre of the Sen ate's attention. Kean continued, but did not conclude, his speech, and ton-aid the clore of the day there was a reneral debate on the allegation ot the oppofltlon to the bill that It does not contain mifflclent safeguard against polygamy. A larre number of bills to -which there was no opposition were parsed. WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. At the open ing of the Senate today, Galllnger pre sented a partial report of the conferees on tho bill increasing pensions to ex-soldiers who have lost limbs. He stated that the House changed the rates materially. In creasing yome of the pensions allowed un der the act of 1S00. The report was adopt ed and further conference ordered. Morgan again called up his resolution requiring the Secretary ot the Navy to forward papers concerning the move ments and corresjiondence of naval offi cers in Colombian waters during the past year. Hale's motion to refer to the com mittee on naval affair prevailed by a strict patty vote, 31 to IS. The resolution was therefore referred, and when Morgan complained that It would not bevacted upon by the committee. Hale replied that It would not be favorably reported in its present form with his consent. The Senate then passed tho following bills: Authorizing the promotion of Ma jor William Crawford Gorgas, surgeon in the United States Array: for the relief of Captain Joseph M. Simma, of the United States revenue service, and for the re lief of the owners of the brig Oliver Frances; granting pensions of $75 a month each for widows of Generals Slegel and Negley; for the protection of National preserves and National parks of the United States. This bill is one of the came kind as was passed the other day, and relates to parks and reservations. Kean then resumed his remarks in op position to the omnibus statehood bill. He read from a book of travel by a German author to show that polygamy now exists in the Mormon Church In the Republic of Mexico, and the fact was commented on by Beveridge, Spooner and Depew, as going to show; that the contention that polygamy had been abolished is not well founded. Spooner asked Rawlins whether the revelation for abolition had covered Mex ico. Rawlins referred him to the docu ments, saying he did not care to put any construction upon them, but Hoar re marked that "possibly the revelator had not been able to speak Spanish." Raw lins added later that as he recalled Presi dent Snow's proclamation forbidding polygamy it had covered tho Mormons throughout the world. Depew read the proclamation to show that polygamy had only been "suspended" and not prohibited. He thought another revelation from the Mormon Church should be forthcoming. "If tho Senator wants an authoritative statement in the Senate, he may have all his doubts removed next session, when tho next Senator from Utah takes his seat," remarked Bacon. "That," replied Depew. "is the only argument that I have heard for the ad. mission of a Mormon to the Senate. Teller expressed the opinion, notwith standing the declaration of the book quoted, that polygamy does not exist among Mormons In Mexico. He did not (believe the people or priests of that coun itry would tolerate that practice. He added it was his conviction that the ques tion of polygamy is entirely foreign to the EUbject of statehood. Ho went on to say that the question was a mere bugaboo, 'which had been brought in only for tho purpose of delay. Spooner took Issue with the last state ment, and urged the importance, of the subject. With him it was not a trifling matter, nor a mere question of delay, and, when "we are told here that the Mormon Church controls elections In a state -now tn the Union, I think we must admit that that state was never prepared for admis sion." He meant to refer to the matter In the future, he said, and he hoped that he would not be charged with filibuster ing. Replying. Teller contended that the few mormons in Arizona would not be capable Of controlling elections there. So email a consideration should not, he contended, stand In tho way of a promise made In the treaty of Guadalupe, to admit as states the territory acquired from Mex ico. Spooner said that, so long as the bill had been pending. Teller was the first to break silence on tho Democratic side of the chamber. Replying, Teller said the reason why" the Democrats had not spoken was found .In the fact that they did not want to as sist in the delay which ho believed had been preconcerted, prearranged and studi ously followed, by what he believed to bo the minority In the Senate. The Senate then went Into executive ses lon, and at 1:50 adjourned. TO CREATE FIXED RATIO. Amendment to Philippine. Currency Bill for Relief of Silver XoUona. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Senator Patter eon today Introduced an amendment to the Philippine currency bill to carry Into effect the recommendation of the Presi dent tor the appointment ft a commission to devise a plan for a commercial ex change ratio between gold and sliver coins.

' AGREE OK COMMERCE BILL. Senators Stand Firm and House Con ferees Yield Their Point. on the Department of Commerce bill have reached an agreement. The contentions of the Senate in the most Important mat ters have been acceded to by the House conferees, which leave the Interstate Commerce Commission a separate organ ization. All reference to the. Interstate Commerce Commission is eliminated, and the statistical bureaus Xo be transferred are specified as being confined to the War Department, the Navy and the Depart ment ot Justice. Previous to the meeting of the confer ees. Senator Clay asked the Democratic members of the Senate to meet htm in conference in the Democratic cloakroom to discuss tho deadlock. He explained the situation to them, and all ot them ex pressed their willingness to stand with him in opposition to the report of the con ferees. In case the bureaus should be transferred to the new department. Sen ator Clay carried the information of this proceeding to the conference. Senator Nelson stood with htm in de manding that the commission be left as an Independent division of the Govern ment, while Senator Hanna took the po sition that he did not desire that the suc cess of tho bill should be imperiled by an amendment to accomplish a purpose which ho thought had been already ac complished. Senator Nelson suggested the provision specifically mentioning the sta tistical bureaus to be transferred.

ANSWERS "WITH AN ARMY Sultan of Turkey Forestalls Protests Against Misrule In Macedonia. PARIS. Feb. 7. Official advices have been received here confirming the report that the Sultan of Turkey has ordered the Immediate mobilization of S10.000 troops ror a military demonstration in Macedonia. Tho steps taken are regarded with appre hension by the French officials as being likely to Involve complications between Turkey and Russia and Austria. It is said that the Russian and Austrian governments have agreed on a firm note to the Sultan, which will be presented within the next few days. Insisting on administrative and official reforms in Macedonia. Although Franco will not be a party to the note, she wlH approve It. it is considered that the Sultan's mobil ization of such an army Is clearly an ef fort to forestall the presentation of this note. Tho mobilization of so manv troons is regarded here as unwise and dangerous, especially as It Is said that the soldiers who are to be brought into Macedonia from Asiatic Turkey are semi-barbarous levies, and are hostile to Christians, which will tend to Inaugurate another series of massacres. It is understood tne powers are exphanc- lng views as to the course to be pursued towards tho mobilization of Turkish troops. DEWET GROWS ANGRY.

PROTEST FROM DOMINICA. People Say United States Should Settle Claims in Courts. SANTO DOMINGO. Feb. 7.-A public meeting has been held under the auspices of the Dominican government to consider TOOK A STRAW VOTE. Interesting Experiment In a Restau rant. An advertising agent representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent Western trip, was dining one even ing in a Pittsburg restaurant." While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets, he began speculating as to how many ot ihe other traveling men in tho dining-room were also friends of tha popular remedy for Indigestion. He says: "I counted twenty-three men at tho tables, and In tho hotel office I took j the trouble to Interview them, and was surprised to learn that nine of tha twenty three made a practice of .taking one of two "of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. "One ot them told mo he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit tho road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely treo from indigestion, but he continued" their use, especially while traveling, on account of Irregularity in meals and because, like all traveling men, Iiq was often obliged to cat what he could get and not always what he wanted. "Another, who looked tho picture of health, said he never ato a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be cause ho could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of a sleep less night or any other trouble. "Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres sure on heart and . lungs, shortness of breath' and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tab lets regularly. "Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep sia. Tablets was the only safe .remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acid ity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use." After smoking, drinking or other ex cesses which weaken the digestive organs, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so effectually as Stu art's Tablets. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which every weak stomach Jacks, as well as nux, bydrastln and yellow parllla, and con be safely relied upon as a radical cure for every form of poor digestion.
