WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
senate committee on foreign re
lations was in session today. The
only question before it was the leg
islative affirm alton of the Monroe
doctrine and the discussion pro-
ceeded upon the basis of resolu-
ton Senator Davis had prepared
under the instructions of the COM
mittee at meeting held last Satur-
day. The terms of the resolution
are known only to the members of
the committee and the prospects
now are that if the committee
agrees to report it, the wording will
not be known until it shall be
brought into the senate. 1t has
been found difficult to so phrase
the document as to suit the ideas
of all or even majority of the
committee. This fact accounts for
the length of time given the SUBJ
ject and also for the careful man.
ncr in which it's text and even its
outlines are regarded.
The committee adjourned at
40 p. M, after voting to report
the Davis resolution, with few
verbal notifications. 1t is under
stood that the resolution will be
presented to the senate on Mon
day.

A mummy head, reputed to be that of
Oliver Cromwell, is cared for as sa-
cred trust by Mr.. Horace Wilkinson
at the country house near Sevenoaks,
in Kent, England, which is his home.
It descended to him from his father, Mr..
william Arthur Wilkinson, who at one
time sat in the house of commons for
Lambeth. He likewise had received it
from his father, Mr.. Josiah Henry VIII
kinson, the grandfather, of course, Of
Mr.. Horace Wilkinson.
Documents dealing with the relic
have accumulated beside it, and in par
ticular Mr.. Josiah Henry Wilkinson left
in manuscript what may be called a
statement of the case for it, as Crom-
wells head.
Tradition runs that on a stormy night
about 25 years after the heads of Crom-
well, Ireton and Bradshaw had been
set on Westminster hall, that of Crom-
well was blown down. 1t was picked
up by sentinel, who was on his rounds
below, placed under his cloak and by
him carried to his home. Naturally
there would be hue and cry as to what
had become of so notable thing.
The sentinel had taken it, perhaps, to
sell for money, perhaps simply that
he might have such property, perhaps
on the impulse of the moment-that is
q detail. But the hue and cry would
have placed him in difficult position,
and therefore he hid the mummy in
the chimney of his house, only reveal
ing its presence there to his wife and
daughter on his deathbed. By this
time the mystery of the disappearance
was more or less forgotten, and the
wife and daughter were able to sell it
to Cambridgeshire family named Rus
sell.
This family was intimately connect
ed with the Cromwells by marriage,
and so naturally desired to preserve
so important part of the remains of
the lord protector. 1t continued in

THE CROMWELL HEAD.

In the possession of Mr.. Horace Wilkinson.
of Sevenoaks. Kent, England.
the possession of the Russells for long
years, the last to own it being one Sam
uel Russell.
With him, however, the head fell on
evil days, and was exhibited at so much
of charge in the vicinity of Glare
market. James Cox, the proprietor
of q museum, coveted the head for his
place, and offered Samuel Russell C 100
for il. Russell refused the offer, but
later was indebted to Cox for a loan
amounting TO that sum. In considers
ton of the loan and further amount
he eventually handed over the heir
loom for Cox's museum-perhaPs in the
year 1850.
Thus there was forced sale of what
was worth selling and worth buying
only because it was believed TO be Crom-
wells head. Butt thist was hardly
greater indignity for the head than
to be often exhibited by Russell while
as the tale goes-that worthy was
drunk. When Cox retired from his
museum, just off Bond street, he in
turn sold the trophy, there being this
time three buyers. They were gentle
men of democratic views, and the peri
cd was early in the French revolution,
but the head was still kept Ell show.
The price they gave for it was e23o,
and it is ominously added that they
oil died sudden deaths. The last sur
vivor of the three was friend of Mr..
Josiah Henry Wilkinson, and the grand
father of the present owner bought it
from his dead friends daughter, TO
whom it was left. This would have
been 1912, and the head was then in the
strong oaken box in which it is still
kept. Indeed, the box, like its con-
tents, came from the Russells, and both
are now inclosed in a second case of
polished wood. An oil painting which
Mr.. Horace Wilkinson bought some
yeras ago at a sale in Sydenham gives
a very good representation of the head.
The artist is one Cranch, and on the
back of thep icture is inscribed as 'the
Cromwell head"

Baseball in the Far West.
lFrom the Quincy, H., Herald. ]

From the Quincy, H., Herald.l
The glass-armed toy soldiers Of
this town were fed to the pigs yes
terday by the cadaverous Indian
grave robbers from Omaha. The
flabby, one-1unged Reubens who
represent the Gem city in the reck-
less rush for the baseball pennant
had their shins toasted by the
basilisk-eyed cattle drivers from
the west. They stood around
with gaping eyeballs like hen on
a hot nail, and suffered the grizzly
yaps of Omaha to run the bases
until their necks were long with
thirst. Hickey had more errors
than Coins Financial school, and
led the rheumatic procession to the
morgue. The Quinceys were full
Of straw and scrap iron. They
couldn't hit a brick wagon with a
pickaxe, and ran bases like pall-bear
ers at funeral. II three-base hits
were growing on the back of every
mans neck they couldn't reach
'em with a feather buster. 1t looked
as if the amalgamated union of
South American hoodoos was in
session for work in the thirty
third degree. The geezers stood
about and whistled for help, and
were so weak they couldn't lift a
glass of beer if it had been all
foam. Everything was yellow,
rocky and whangbasted, like a
stigtossel full of backgammon.
The game was whiskered and FROST
bitten. The Omahogs were bad
enough, but the Quincy Brown
sox had their fins sewed up until
they couldn't hold crazy quilt
unless it was tied around their
necks.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Queer Proceedings Where a Mans Fam
 fly Was Accidentally Drowned

Queer Proceedings Where Mans Fam
 fly Was Accidentally Drowned
 DENVER, Nov. 2O.-Intense indigna- tion has been aroused over the arrest of Andrew J. Spute, grocer, on the charge of murdering his wife and five children, all of whom were drowned by capsizing i'll boat i'll Smiths lake Oct. %. Four eyewitnesses of the drowning assert that it was purely accidental, and Spute's friends claim that the ar rest is either subterfuge of the insur- ance company to avoid the payment of a $1o,000 accident policy on the life of Mrs SpuJe or an attempt by local de- tective agency to blackmail the hus- band. It is alleged that Spute is vic- tim of conspiracy between a lawyer and a detective agency.
 Miss Nellie Davis Spute's alleged par amour, who was arrested with him, was released on bond
