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

dent tor the appointment ft a commission

wnen sucn a plan shall be agreed upon
by tho delegates of the countries, herein
specifically named with those 'of the
"United States, the President shall report
the same to Congress and, upon Its ap
proval by Congress, the President Khali
use the good offices of the United tSates
to secure lis adoption by other govern'
menta. '
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.
Hepburn was the first of the House con
ferees to yield, and soon afterward the
other members came over, and the work
of creating the new executive department
was completed, so far as the conferees
were ablo to accomplish it.

Klc Bill Through Legislature.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Feb. 7. An inno
cent appearing bill Introduced In tho Wyo
ming Legislature January 31 is now cred
ited with having for Its purpose the sav
ing ot the life of Tom Horn, convicted of
the murder of Willie Nickel!, and who Is
now under sentence of death. The bill
abolished capital punishment and becomes
operative against all sentences of death
already pronounced and not executed at
tho passage of the act. The bill changes
the punishment for crimes now punisha
ble by death to life imprisonment, , but
seems to apply only to crimes to be com
mitted in the future. It is claimed by
some that should It para Horn could be
released from prison on habeas corpus
proceedings, but the life imprisonment
clause Is not retroactive, as Is the clause
abolishing capital punishment and there
would be no law under which Horn could
be held. The bill Is In the hands of the
Judiciary committee, the chairman t
woicn was one oi jiorn s attorneys at live
time of his trial.

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.

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
