DOINGS OF CONGRESS,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 3O.-The
Senate committee on finance yesterday
decided to report back to the Senate
the Wilson repeal bill with the recon-
mendation that the Voorhees, bill
already on the Senate calendar
be substituted for it. The
committee also resolved to set aside the
national bank circulation bill which is
now unfinished business in the Senate
in favor of the Voorhees, bill and to
press the latter measure as rapidly
as the temper of the Senate will
admit The difference between the
House bill and the Voorhees, bill is
found in the attachment to the latter
of a paragraph declaring that it is the
policy of the United States to use both
gold and silver as money metals and to
preserve parity.
In the Senate Mr.. Teller, Of Colorado,
objected to immediate consideration Of
the repeal BILL and it went over until
to-day. The Stewart resolu-
ton inquiripg into the condi-
ton of the Treasury was
then taken up for consideration.
The resolution was referred to the
finance committee and Mr.. Gordon, of
Georgia, addressed the Senate in advO-
cacy of the unconditional repeal of the
Onorndn ACT. lie Q6CldfoQ Jndt ne
could not vote for any measure that in
volved delay and that he was therefore
opposed to the subject reported to-day.
After little routine business in the
House Mr.. Catchings, of Mississippi,
called up the report of the committee
on rules reporting the rules to govern
the House of the Fifty-third Congress
which the House proceeded to consider
under general debate.
WAsHINGToN, D. c., Aug. BIN
the Senate, Mr.. Wolcott, Of Colorado,
spoke in favor Of silver coinage. Mr..
Gallery, Of Louisiana, replied to Mr..
Wolcott. The House resolution on the
death of Representative Mutchler, of
Pennsylvania, was laid on the table and
remarks of tribute were made. In the
House the free coinage men succeeded
in having bills relating to coinage
reported at any time by the committee
on coinage. Under this rule the COM
mittee on coinage can report a silver
bill at any time and force It's considera-
ton by the House, and the committee
on banking and currency will enjoy the
same facilities. On motion of Mr.. Kill
gore, an amendment was adopted Civ
ing the committee on ways and means
jurisdiction over all measures purport-
ing to raise revenue.

THE DIVORCE WAS LEGAL.
Important Ruling in the Duket Case al
Ashland

ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. 3O.-James S
Duket, arrested week ago for living
with his wife, was discharged by Judge
Calkins Yesterday. The case has b eeG
important as it is the first to test the
constitutionalitv of a legal divorce il
Wisconsin by other means than judicial
process. Duket married Mrs. French,
wife of Murderer French, who was at
the time serving a life sentence
at Waupun. The sentence was
suspended and a new trial
ordered by the supreme court, two
weeks after the marriage Of Mr.. Duket
and Mrs. French and the murderer is
now in Ashland Jail awaiting a new
trial. Duket's marriage was claimed to
be illegal because the life sentence OF
French was technically invalid and
hence Mrs French's divorce not legal.
The state and United States constitu-
tionalitY of the divorce was questioned.

Effort to Prevent Outside Bond Com
panies Operating in Wisconsin.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 2.-Assistant At
torney- Clancy, who has been
at work examining the methods of work
of the so-called bond companies says
that he believes he will be able to find
way to prevent their operating in
Wisconsin. He said he had not yet had
time to make a thorough investigation,
but would give formal opinion as soon
as possible. He also said that under
the plan of work sent out by the COM
panies and the copy of the bond to be
sold by them he did not think there
were many persons in Wisconsin fools
enough to be gulled into buying them.
Miss Edith Garthwait has mysterious
ly disappeared from her home in Sun
Prairie and has been traced to Chicago.
No cause is assigned for the disappear
ance Of the young lady.
The supreme court when it meets
Tuesday will call the January calendar
and listen to arguments in the following
cases: Nos. l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Z, s, 9, 10, Il,
"a, %, 26, 81, %, 20, II, los, 119, 1913.
The first thirteen cases come
from the ninth circuit, the
next six. from the tenth circuit,
the remainder up to % from the elev-
enth circuit, No. II from the seven
| teenth, 108 from the third circuit, 119
from the fifth and 1913 from the sixth.
Among the cases of general interest to
be heard are the following: State ex
rel. Lappley VS.. District Board, involv-
ing the right of town board to dissolve
school district when the state superin-
tendent declares that a school in that
neighborhood is necessary. A number
of German Democratic Catholics who
have parish school near by refuse to
contribute to the maintenance of a
school for several Protestant Republican
families in the towns of Springfield,
Cross Plains and Berry, Dane Coun-
| ty. The Kuehn and Baetz treas
ury cases will be heard on the
question whether the supreme court
meant to exempt these treasurers from
liability under the former decision in
the Harshaw and McFetridge cases.
1t will be remembered that the court
said that the cases might have been
differently decided were it not for the
statute passed in 1878 and made to take
effect after the term of Kuehn had ex-
pired. This is thought by the attorneys
for the treasurers now defending to
leave them not liable for interest re-
ceived by them on public funds depos-
| tied in the banks,

the report relates to the elder Brandt
