WaShinuton Notes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Representa-
tive Morrow of California, chairman of
the subcommittee OF the house committee
on foreign affairs, intends to call the sub.
committee together at the earliest oppor,
tunity. He says his views of Samoan
affairs are positive and have been made
known through the resolution introduced
by him in the house last session. Tie
statu quo at the time representatives of
the United States, Germany and England
met, he says, must be restored and this
would necessitate the replacement of King
Malietoa in the position from which he
has so u~njustly been removed by German
agents sent to Marshall's island. This
step, Morrow insisted, must be prelimi
nary to any further negotiations on the
subject.
The house committee on territories met
to consider the bill for the admission Of
Utah. Only eight of the fourteen mem

endorsed on it. in compliance with a
motion by Allison and adopted 10y the

heres to its amendments and requests a
conference. This is an unusual but not
an unprecedented course to pursue, and
Is adopted for the purpose of e%xpediting

turned over to the Connecticut Mutual
property worth $500, 900. When asked
if he knew what course the officers of the
insurance company would pursue, he said:

Moore stated that his troubles dated
back to 1880. In 1879" said he, "a
law was passed prohibiting foreign cor
porations from bringing suit in a federal
court. That destroyed my business for

lost in stock speculation. 1t is obvious
that his irregularities with the company
have existed for years. Yet nothing has
been done oil the part of the company
until the LIST of January this year.

in the way of private legislation will be
regarded with more interest during the

that there are two precedcnts at least for
the course. The last divorce granted by

Mary r. Pell was granted a divorce from
her husband, Morris Pcll, on the ground
