WASHINGTON. March mo little excitement

that fact. IL spread rapidly, and anxious in

II Is matter OF deep regret among Mr.

ballads sung by different peoples which are
so nearly alike in the story upon which
they are based as to indicate a common
origin. Mr., KrehDiel's remarks were illus

different languages the various forms OF one

A Mistake OF Senator Gray which Was

WASHINGTON March 1.-The report OF the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on tho
Hawaiian Investigation. as made to the
Senate last Monday. has been the cause OF i'll.
feeling between Democratic members OF the
committee. The report as submitted by Senator
Morgan was the report Of the full committee.
In fact the committe at its last meeting
decided that there should be no minority

Democrats on the committee. however. re-

Wiltse. Senator Gray wrote a dissenting re-
port. to which Senators Butler. Turpie. and
Daniel agreed.
The trouble has arlsen over the changing OF
the Introductory paragraph Of the report. 1t
is said that Senator Gray prepared and the
other Democratic Senators. with the eXcep-
ton OF MIR. Morgan. signed a report, the open
ing sentence OF which read; " The under
the report. as submitted to the senate. the
first clause read: The undersigned, the
minority report: Views of the mi1oritv"
Senators Butler and Turpie itoOk exception to
being placed in a false position, as they had
not signed a minority report. but only differed
from Senator Morgans report on certain
points When they discovered the error they
imms diAtely went to Senator Gray. who re-
quested the official stenogTapheT to change
the heading so as TO read: " Additional Vows
submitted by the members OF the committee"
and to su bstttute the word members for tho
minority" in the opening paragraph. While
the difference between the words used, and
the intention OF the report as signed is small
the effect has bsen to give to the country the
impression that minority report was made
which is not the case Much OF the adverse

TARIFF TALK IN THE SENATE

WASHINGTON. March IA tariff debate WAS

Mr.. Dolph tRep., Or started the debate.
He said that If Democratic Senators would.
instead OF cutting on appropriations for neces-
sary public buildings undertake to provide
the necessary revenue for the Government.
they would be better employed. 1.-THE Demo
cratic caucus. which had been so prolonged at
the expense Of the business Of the Senate. had
agreed that the Wilson bill should DO Iban-
dOned and that the existing Tariff Law should
not be disturbed. there would be revenue
enough to support the Government and to
provide for all necessary public works.
