WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The resolution
introduced yesterday by Hoar, calling
upon the president, if not in his judg
ment incompatible with the public in
terest, to communicate to the senate the
instructions he had given to our COM
missioners who negotiated the treaty of
peace, the correspondence which has
passed between him and the department
of state and commissioners, and the re-
ports made by the commissioners either
to him or the department of state, was
laid before the senate early in the ees-
sion today. After some debate on the
resolution, participated in by Davie,
Hoar, White and Allen, the senate went
into executive session, continuing the
debate. The resolution was finally
agreed to, and at 1925 the senate con-
vened in open session.
Caffrey then addressed the senate on
the joint resolution offered by Vest, de-
claring that under the constitution oi
the United States no power is given tc
acquire territory to be held and governed
permanently as colonies. Caffrey'l
speech was constitutional argument il
support of the declarations of the reso-
luton. He declared the resolution wen
to the root of the question of the powe
of the United States to establish a per
manent government in territories fa
distant from our own land. He pro
posed, he said, to institute an inqujr,
into the basic principles of the power o
this government.

through a straight wire, parallel with and held

ditional phenomena Of this class but the funda-
mental laws explaining them.
The son Of a blacksmith who had removed
from Yorkshire to London Faraday was ap-
prenticed TO a bookbindcr in 1900, when he was
oulv fourteen years old. While thus employed
he was in the habit Of reading some Of the
books that passed through his hands. Among
them was an encyclopedia in which he found
an article on electricity. He soon exhibited
fondnoss for science and when about twenty
years old attended lectures given in London by
Sir Humphrey Davy at that time professor
Of chemistry and manager Of the laboratory in
The ROYAL Institution. Having sought Sir Hum
nhrcv on one occasion. 10 ascertain if his notes
Of a lecture were correct the lad won a highly
useful friend. Not only did Davy give him
employment AT the institution, but h. afterward
took him abroad as an amanuensis during
period Of eighteen months. Moreover. he aided
and advised his disciple repeatedly after their
return In time, 10y his own Investigations and
discoveries Faraday won the admiration Of the
managers Of the Royal Institution 50 that he
was eventually made Days successor and
thus had at his own disposal the magnificent
equipment Of apparatus for which mat nome
Of science was celebrated.
Like Davy Faraday was at first interested
chiefly in chemistry, and it was as a devotee
of this branch Of learning that he was admitted
TO the Royal Society. His liquefaction OF chic
rine and other gases and his discovery Of ben
zoI or henzine, the basis OF aniline dyes. were
.anone his most important achievements at this
stage Of his career Upon the publication OF
Oersted's paper Faraday turned his attention
more exclusively to what proved TO be his great

The Poet Had Endured Il Lot. but
Gave Way Mt Last.

The oct Had Endured IA Lot. but
fave Way mt Last.
With fingers long, purple veined and all
a-tre1nble the poet raised the lid of the
letter box at the foot of the stairs.
He had risen an hour before, had made
his toilet with care and had waited.
By and by there calne a ring at the bell
1t was the postman's ring-twice.
The long fingers fumbled in the box,
they were withdrawn, and between them
dangled a letter.
The poet bowed his head to read. 1t was
addressed to him. In the upper left hand
corner was the card of the great magazine
to which he had sent three poems the Sat.
urday before.
The poet crouched into the hall and
noiselessly, like a cat, mounted the long
stairs. Up, up, up he clambered, even to
the roof, for there beneath the caves he
lived.
He lighted a candle, for the light was
dim. He looked at the envelope again,
then laid it on the tottering table.
Raising his hands to heaven, he cried
aloud in his agony: ooh, merciful Heaven,
give me strength to bear the blow that is
about to descend upon my tired and ach-
ing head! This shall be the last. No
longer can l live. Time after time have
the written outbursts of a breaking heart
been returned to me with a note Of re.
greet, and this is but another SUCH"
He allowed those long, thin fingers to
tear away the flap of the envelope. He
took out the letter. He read the few lines
and the blood stood still in his veins.
With q frightful shrek he sank to the
| floor.
Later they found him there. In his
hand was clutched a note from the editor
of a great magazine.
Regrets?
