The Matter Brought Up in tho Senate
and Deferred TIL Next Monday.
Special Telegram TO ths Register.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The West
Virginia direct tax resolution came up
in the Senate to-day and it is likely i'm
mediate action would have been secured
on it had it not been for the objection
OF Senator Morrill,, of Vermont. Sena-
tor Morrill,, while not exactly opposed
TO the passage Of the resolution, thought
il ought to be referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, offered
an amendment to the resolution, adding
an additional section instructing the
Secretary OF the Treasury to accept the
terms agreed upon by the committee OF
the Virginia bond holders as 10 the
bonded debt OF Virginia. This amend
ment means that the United States
Government shall scale down her claims
against the State of Virginia about one
fourth. as have the other creditors OF
the State.
After short speeches by Senators
Faulkner, Kenna and Daniel, it was
finally agreed that the resolution should
go over until Monday next, at ? o'clock,
when it will probably pass with prac-
tical unanimity.
The pure food bill was taken up and
passed.

United States, in those waters and in

United States, in those waters and In
fur seal fisheries therein.
"This government has already been
advised in the course Of this correspond
ence that Great Britain repudiates all
obligations to indemnify the United
States for any invasion of its jurisdic-
tion or any injury done to It's sealing
property by the Canadian sealers. The
attempt to make a damage clause 10
one of the articles of the arbitration
agreement failed because Her Majesty's
government would not consent that the
question of its liability TO indemnify the
usual injuries done by the Canadian
sealers should be submitted.
"The President hopes that Her Majes-
ty's government will consent to renew
the arrangement of asst year with the
promptness which The eXigency de-
mands and TO agree to enforce it by re-
fusing all clearance to sealing vessels
for the prohibited waters, and recalling
from those waters all such vessels as
have already cleared.
This government will honorably
abide by the judgment Of the high
tribunal which has been agreed upon,
whether that judgment may be favor
able or unfavorable, and will not seek
TO avoid a just responsibility for any Of
its acts which by that judgment, are
found to be unlawful. But certainly
the United States cannot be expected
to suspend the defense, by such means
as are within its power, OF the property
and Jurisdiction, and all rights claimed
by IL, pending the arbitration. and TO
consent to receive them from that
tribunal II awarded, shorn OF much OF
their value by the acts of irresponsible
persons"
The Senate spent nearly three hours in
the consideration of the questions. The
subject came before 1t through the presen-
tation by the Wee President of the Presi-
dents message transmitting the corre-
spondence between the two governments.
The committee on foreign relations,
through its chairman, stated, in answer 10
a question, that it had not yet been able TO
fully consider the treaty and report TO the
Senate.
1t appeared from the discussion that a
large majority Of the Senators were OF the
opinion tnat the treaty should be amended
by the addition Of a clause providing FOR
the renewal of the modus vlvendl,
or that the resolution OF the
ratification, should be accompanied by a
direction to the President to withhold
exchange of ratifcations until Great Brit
ain consented to a renewal.
Senator Sherman called attention TO the
significant fact that Lord Salisbury had
in the correspondence repudiated any re-
sponsibility on the part Of his government
for the action of the poachers.
The Senator thought the United States
had gained in its contention through this
admission.
He urged strongly that when the treaty
was reported il should be ratified by the
Senate, taking the ground that by doing so
the United States would evidence to the
world its Willingness to arbitrate the ques-
tions involved.

to the farmer. The free wool bill he
said proposed free trade for the most
universal product Of the farm and con-
tinued protection for the manufacture
OF wool. 1t would certainly reduce the
price and destroy the wool industry.
Continuing, MIR. Dingley said: Every
evil prediction relating to the Mckinley
tariff has been disproved by the march OF
events. Every prediction of its benefits
has been made good. Protection is more
than justified The policy which has done
so much TO make this country the largest
agricultural, the largest manufacturing,
the largest mining and the most prosper
Gus country on the face of the earth, is
here to stay. Great applause.
Before the conclusion of Mr.. Dingley's
speech, the committee rose and the
House adjourned. The debate will be
resumed TOMORROW and continue for
five or six weeks, with occasional inter
ruptions Of two or three days for the
silver bill and appropriation bills.

Special Tslsordm TO th< REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March o.-It Is
no go for Mr.. Elkins. The prospect OF
running for Governor of West Virginia
this fall has no attractions for him.
Mr.. Elkins is keen politician, who can
see as far through mill stone rs the
next man.
He has not cultivated the habit OF
martyrdom for his friends nor for his
party, and he does not propose 10 90
into the losing Republican fight In
West Virginia this fall.
The Republican politicians who have
been here for several days consulting
and arguing with Mr.. Elkins, have
argued In vain.
He inquired narrowly into the poliu-
cal feeling and conditions In West Vir-
ginia. He got all the facts they were
prepared TO give him and from these he
drew his own conclusions.
Mr.. Elkins seems 10 have decided
that there was no chance for him 10
win in West Virginia this fall, unless
at cost that would make II q ruinous
victory, so three times he put away the
crown the politicians three times offer
ed him.
NAY, nay. gentlemen" lac said.
THAT crown is misft for me, besides
| fear it is but tin plated with FURNISHED
brass and hollow as soap bubble. I'll
have none OF II.
While some OF the politicians were
much cast down at Mr.. Elkins's refusal
TO run for Governor and put up some OF
the good Doodle OF which he has such
plenteous store. others OF them were
quite content. Among these was John
X. Thompson, who is ambitious 20 lead
the Republican hosts himself and who,
IL is understood, Is now likely TO be the
candidate. In view OF the understanding
that Thompson will be the Republican
candidate, the feeling among Democrats
here is that they will have to nominate
a farmer or prevail upon Congressman
Wilson to make the race.
MIR. Wilson has already announced
through the REGISTER that he Is not a
candidate, but those who believe him To
be the strongest man the Democrats
could nominate, are still hopeful that
he can be induced TO change his mind.

Two Nerih onters-IIon. f. j. Phelps
and Hon. b. B. Smaley, both of Burlng-
ton-are talked of for cabinet positions.
Mr. Phelps is set down by the guessers
for secretary of state or attorney general.
Mr.. Ezra II. Byington, son of former
pastor of the Shoreham Congregational
church and theological student in New
York city, wanted to vote at the late cleo
ton, but was refused permission to reg
lister. He was the Prohibition candidate
for alderman in the eighth ward of the
city.
Nermont's oldest voter at the late elec-
ton is said to have been Wells Goodwin
of Newbury, a Democrat, by the way.
He cast his first vote for James Monroe
in 1916 and has voted at every presiden-
tial election since. His age is 9S years.
Undoubtedly the oldest voter in Addison
county is Mr.. Ira Ward of New Haven,
who is 81.
