Washington, March IA
GHN

After routine business Mr.. Turne
wa recognized to conclude his remark
on the Puerto Rican bill.
Mr.. Penrose asked him to yield 81
that he could call up the Quay case, bu
aided he did not wish to interfere will
the Washing on Senator's speech. Th'
object of Mr.. Penrose evidently was L
impre.s the Senate with the fact tina
the friends OF Mr.. Quay we're no
asleep. Nothing else on that line wa
done.
As Mr.. Teller is going to start TO-
night for Cuba with subcommittee
! and will be absent come time, Mr.
| Turner gave way to him to submit r.,
| marks on the Puerto Rican bill.
aMr. Teller held that the power of the
United States government over the
| territories was supreme. In dealing
with the new possessions be said We
could make them a part of the United
States if we saw fit. Some might have
q prot ctorste aud others might become
actual territories, Mr.. Teller added
that he was free lance, belonged to no
party and was bound by no caucus. He
believed in colonial possessions.
When Mr.. Teller concluded Mr..
Turner addressed the Senate to finish
his speech on the Puerto Rican bill.
who stated that he had failed to 6nd
any authority cited by Senators on the
other side to the effect that the consti-
tuition did not extend to any territory
of the United States. The remainder of
nis speech was devoted to discussion
of bis idea on this subject, during the
course OF which be cited numerous au.
thorities to support his view OF Il .
case.
At 2:3O the Senate was still In ses-
sion, although the understanding was
that it would adjourn at Q to enable
the republicans to caucus again upon
the Porto Rican bill Mr.. Turner had
not concluded his speech and ell gave
way to him.
There Is no change in the situation at
this writing, but prominent republicans
say an agreement will be reached ulti.
mstely. The only hitch is the possible
failure of the House leaders to accept
the bill il their own measure is radi-
cslly amended.
AT 8 O'clock the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
The first and third Fridays in each
month were set apart for the oonsidera-
ton OF bills relating to claims.
1t was also agreed to appoint a select
committee of three members to consider
the clearing ont of Accumulated docu.
ments In the Capitol.
Mr.. Circuit, described the provisions of
the bill and then Mr.. Adamsop. under
the privileges of general debate, pre-
ceeded to make speech in favor of
the construction of the 18th milan canal.
He urged that the canal should be con.
structed and fortified by the United
States and that 1t should be an absolute
ly American waterway.
He denounced the Hsy-Pauncefote
treaty as being an abject surrender by
the administration Of our rights In the
premises.
Mr.. "Cowherd made an argument
against the retention of the Philip.
pines. He contended that their posses.
sion would make it necessary for the
United States to take part 10 any future
European or Asiatic war.

The Porto RICAN BILL.-For more

Element wss arranged, however, and
the caucus adjourned to meet this even
ing. A great deal OF opposition was
manifested against the proposition to

COMMUNICATED.
A QUID PRO QUO.

There are persons in town who mus!
think themselves clever,
For they have lately been making a
futile endeavor
To try to be smart at their neighbors'
expense,
Which, il they but knew it, shows q
great lack of sense.
To those persons I'll give the following
advice:
People living 10 snow houses should
never throw Ice.
From their Own optic the dead wood
they'd better remove,
Before small speck 10 their neighbours
they prove.
II they wish to be happy and popular,
too,
The beaten track they must follow as
others all do.
For there's one thing that can't be for
given-oh never,
And that Is . person who aims to be
clever.

.MORMONISM And
ITS PRACTICES
DR.. Elliott, Of New York,
Tells WiImiBgtOnianS Of
Great EVil

nr. Sarah J. ElHotts address ON
tPolvgamy," delivered in the New
Century Building last evening, was
listened to with much interest by a !
large audience Miss Elliott is of New
York, is q practcing physician and a
deaconess in the Episcopal Church, an
active enemy OF Mormonism and was
an important witness against Brigham
Young Roberts, of Utah, who was re-
fused a seat in the United States House
OF representatives.
Miss Elliott said that during an eight
years residence in Utah, doing mis-
isionary work for her church, She
studied Mormonism.
1 This Is a serious and immense
question, sue said. If three years ago
anyone had asked me the question
i should have said no and that educa-
lflon would solve the whole problem
\ But now since ! have lived in Utah
and studded Mormonism I most EN-
lphatically would say that a constitu-
ltional amendment should prohibit
polygamy.
q1'he majority OF people in the East
do not understand polygamy as II
really is in Utah. The missionaries
from the East go out there prejudiced
lagainst the Mormons. l, myself, went
lout there absolutely ignorant / had
mot been there long, however, before
began to make a study of it and in
Questioning one Of the Mormons he
said Il have the only new gospel and
recognize Joseph Smith as our only
lGod" i inquired Of a number as to
what this new gospel was but no one
seemed to be able TO tell me. In Salt

the new gospel given to Joseph Smith
I'm New York State contained the secret
or how a man may become a god.
could then very easily see how the mer
bceame converts but could not under.
stand what method or arguments were
used to get women converts. A woman
{ leonvert explained to me later that tn,
{ women converts would make gods.
Il talked with the president of Sal
Lake City IN 1898 and told him tina
they were all traitors. He replied tina
q lpolygamy was not abolished in 1856
I but merely suspended. In Utah it j.
a misdemeanor and is only subject Il
a small fine. / believe there should b
