FRYE AGAIN CHOSEN.
Maine Senator Made President
Pro Tenn of the Senate.

Washington, March 7.-When the SEN
ate convened today q huge bunch Of
beautiful roses adorned the desk of Mr..
Gamble. the successor to Mr. Pettigrew,
of South Dakota.
AS upon preceding days OF the present
session the galleries were crowded with
Spectators but II was evident that Vice
President RoOsevelt's warning that he
would direct the galleries to be cleared
in the event of another demonstration
of applause had had it's effect, as not a
ripple disturbed the quiet when the vice
president entered the chamber. During
the opening proceedings a large orna-
mental basket filled with bride and
Jacquenainot roses was brought in and
placed upon the desk Of Mr.. Blackburn,
of Kentucky
The vice president announced the ap-
pointment Of Messrs. Cullom fIll.) and
Cockrell (do.) as members Of the board
Of regents Of the Smithsonian instttu-
ton.
At the conclusion of the routine busi-
ness Mr.. Morgan resumed his speech be-
gun yesterday in support of his resolu-
tiOn declaring the abr0gafion of the
Clayton -BulWer treaty. Mr. Morgan
read that part Of the Clayton-Bulwe
treaty which relates to the Nicara qua
canal and also the protocols Of an agree
ment for the construction of the canal
made between the United States govern
and Costa Rica- He declared it was per-
fectly clear that the protocols entered
into last fall by this government were
a distinct violation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. 1t was equally evident
that the United States must abandon its
plighted faith with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica in order that the Clayton -BulWer
treaty might be fastened permanently
upon this government and hang like a
pail over it, or take such a stand as will
sustain the president in his patriotic and
noble action.
The protocols o~+Ared into expressed
Clayton -Bulwer treaty and his disregard
of its provisions. They undertook to
place the government on the high
ground that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
Is abrogated by this government.
.slt is our duty, insisted Mr.. Morgan,
ITO declare that that treaty is not in the
way of our legislating for the Nicaragua
canal. If we hesitate today it will be
the same year hence, and the provi-
sions of that treaty will be fastened
upon us
Mr. Morgan urged that his resolution
be adopted in order that the president
might understand the position of the
senate so thoroughly that he would feel
looking to the construction of the Mica
ragua canal while congress was in its
long recess
At the conclusion Of Mr.. ATorgan's
speech the senate without taking any
action upon the resolution, on motion Of
Mr.. Lodge (Mass) at 1:10 p. m, went
into eecutive session.
At the conclusion of the executive ses-
sion Senator W. p. Frye was again elect
ed president pro tenn. of the senate.
The senate then adjourned.

Mrs. Webster was unusually disturbed
and Mr.. Webster sat with her until
o'clock. At that time he lay down on
the bed beside her and fell asleep She

tall, handsome and just little too well
dressed and was reading a pamphlet
enough to be plainly legible to the op-
posite row of passengers the title,

for he was really beautiful
There was no doubt as to what he
was reading The passengers followed
it almost line by line and knew just
what part of the essay he had reached.
1t began when his eyes left the book
and glanced obviously at his cloth top
ped patent feathers. He shook his
head slightly as he saw that the upper
was Of a trife too pronounced a pat
tern. Next he took in his trousers, and
bland smile of satisfaction wreathed
his face. There was a slight frown
when he compared his waistcoat with
the haberdasher's manual, but his coat
and hat were evidently irreproachable.
The end Of the inventory and of the
spectators self control came when the
