The Senate Committee on Commerce
has taken action somewhat similar to
that of the River and Harbor Committee
of the House which has decided there
shall be no bill this year. The Senate
committee met yesterday morning and
knocked out all but one of the twenty
odd amendments to the sundry civil bill
which appropriate money for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors. The only eX
ception was one Oregon case where the
work was under the continuing contract
system, and the department had submit
ted estimates as to the cost of the same.
No amendments of this sort will he put
on the bill this year.

A Bit of Perjury Mixed with 1t Destroys Ite
Value in Court.
Mrs. Kate schuchhart OF Jersey City Is suing
her husband. George Schuchhart. for q divorce.
and there was a hearing in the case yesterday
in Chancery Chambers in Jersey City.
Mrs. Schuchhart asserts that her husband
treated her with great cruelty and she testified
that at one time he poured a basin Of water over
her. dragged her around by the hair and then.
holding a knife uplifted over her head. swore
that he would feed her on blood.
Yes, your Honor" she said to Vice-Chancel-
lor Stevens. he told me that he would give me
blood for breakfast, blood for dinner and blood
for supper"
On ros s-examination- sfte admitted that her
husband had objected to her taking trips with
a man named John Cotton, but she said her
daughter. who has since been married to Cot
ton. was always with them. She said that her
daughter and Cotton were married fourteen
months ago. but on being closely pressed ad-
mitted that the marriage took place only two
months ago.
This woman has deliberately perjured her
self.' said Yice-Chancellor Stevens severely. as
the plaintiff, stepped down, from the witness
stand. 50 she has discredited herself"
Mrs. Schuchhart's face flushed crimson. The
defendant denied his wife's allegations. and
the Vice Chancellor reserved decision.

WE CAN'T Bur sorERE1eNr1.

Senator Hoar Says So, and Opposes the
SEQ 100000 Item of the Treaty.
Boston. Nov. 30.-Two communicationsfrom
Senator Hoar appeared to-day. One was writ
ten to the Worcester Gazette as follows:
I'VE have not 80 far any news which is abso-
lutely Trustworthy OF what they are doing in
Paris. but II the report be true that 1t Is pro-
posed to buy OF Spain the sovereignty Of the
Philippine Islands and to pay 500, 900 for it
I do not believe that such q treaty will be
agreed to. and l do not believe it ought to be
agreed to.
Spain has very little sovereignty in the
Philippines to sell just now. and l do not think
the people OF the United States are In the mar
ket to buy sovereignty Just now, or that the
Constitution has conferred upon anybody the
right to buy any such commodity. The Con-
%stitution was framed upon the theory that SOW
eFssl FRs p Is pHs q 81 Fa tRe Ha aFtiSle States have con-
purchases in their behalf. We have acquired
territory. either vacant or so ~sparsely settled
1t and no germ OF a national life. We have
also, in one recent case, acquired q territory
%hs : the RRT nf hsitbgs germ n f q nst h9 Q life had mad
millions Of inhabitants"
The other letter was sent to the Christian
The, bane, the danger. the. pollution of our
public life is not party corruption, not the reck-
less desire for empire, not selflshness or the
but want Of faith in God and man, hopelessness
and despair, hatred and uncharitableness.. 1t
is in these DISCUSSES that Satan presents him
these which take from the. forces of the re-
public men who ought to do her the noblest
service. II, is these which SO often baf1led the
best hopes OF the patriot and the best work OF
the statesman"

FEW VOLUNTEERS TO GO TO CUBA
Six Regiments of Regulars to BE Sent to
the Philippines.

the
WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-The administration
has decided to send as few volunteers as pos
sible to Cuba in the near future. the hope being
that Congress will promptly act on the Presi-
dents forthcoming recommendation for a
large increase Of the regular army. I:!gesr>
able legislation is passed very soon. 1t VII: be
possible to muster out some Of the volunteer
regiments originally destined for garrison duty
in Cuba. and it will also be possible to order
home q number of volunteer organizations
from Manila. Preparations have already been
made to send some additional regiments Of
regular tro OPS to the Philippines. but it is
uncertain whether the volunteer regiments
will be Withdrawn upon the arrival Of the
regulars or not. That depends to some extent
on the situation among the Filipino in;
surgents at the time and the progress toward
increasing the size OF the regular armyi The
in the near future are the Third, Fourth, Fifth.
Seventh. Thirteenth and Twentieth Regiments
of Infantry. Orders have been sent to Depot
Quartermaster Long at San Francisco to pre-
pare full field equipments for 5000 men. How
soon the regiments will leave San Francisco is
uncertain, but 1t will probably be soon after the
signing OF the treaty OF peace.
