THE SENATE.

Soon after the Senate convened today
Mr.. Hawley, chairman of the committee on
military affairs. favorably reported a bill
to correct the military record of Charles H.
Hawley. A similar bill was vetoed a short
time ago by the President In reporting
the measure Mr.. Hawley said 1t had been
changed, and informal assurances had been
given that, as reported. it would be salts
factory to the President. The bill reported
authorized the President to review the case
and to revoke the order of dismissal.
Mr.. Gallinger IN. HI said he had received
letters from soldiers importuning him to in
trOduce similar bills, and he had replied
that apparently there was no use to do so,
as they were likely to be vetoed if passed.
He hoped that his impression was incor-
rect.
The bill was then placed on the calendar
A joint resolution was adopted appointing
Henry E. Palmer, Nebraska George w
Steele, Indiana: Walter P. Brownlew, Ten
nessee; 7. J. Henderson, Illinois, and j. M.
Brown, Maine, members of the board Of
managers Of the National Home for Dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers of the. United
States
On motion Of Mr.. Proctor the Senate de-
cided that when 1t adjourn today It stand
adjourned until Monday next
The Oleomargarine Bill.
Consideration was then resumed Of the
oleomargarine BILL Mr.. Harris (Kan) Of
fered an amendment placing a tax Of 10
cents a pound upon adulterated butter, pro-
viding that it should be stamped or brand
ed, and levying heavy fine for violation
of the provisions Of the amendment.
He said the complaint made that process
butter was injurious to health probably was
just, and he hoped his amendment would
be adopted, as he was satisfied it would
meet many objections to the pending bill.

catch the charges. as they were read. he
said. it appeared that some man named
Christmas, who acknowledged himself "a
briber and worse" made charges on which

acceptance of brides.

American financiers are planning an In.
ternational bank with headquarters In
New York and branches In Chicago. San

In the City Of Mexico for one year. When
1t was established the Mexican Trust

to $5.OOOOOO which. 1t Is thought, Is suf-
ficient for the transaction of business In
the four Latin.Amcrican republics.
Branch institutions In the United States
will not be opened until the banks In
Havana, Rio JaneirO and BuenOs Ayrcs
are In operation. President w. II. Hunt
Of the Mexican Trust Company Bank
said that the name Of the institution
would be changed at once to the First
International Bank Of America. and that

That It will exceed this on the official

A sensation has been caused at Rome
by a semi-oilicial declaration to the effect
that Pope Leo XIlI. Is highly displensed
at the way the commission Of cardinals
has conducted the negotiations regarding
the Philippines, that he has annulled the
proceedings, dissolved tho commission
and wishes to treat personally with Gov.
Taft. The commission Of cardinals sent
to Judge Taft note expressing Its sat
isfaction at the result of the negotia.
tons. but since his holiness Is not ut all
satisfied. and Cardinal Rampolla, secre-
tary Of state, Is In disgrace for the posi-.
tiodn he has taken In the matter, this
note Is not In any sense tho feeling Of
the Vatican, or at least Of the Pope. 1t
Is definitely known that the Pope has
said the American demands were just
and should be accepted. and It Is prob.
able that tho question of the friars In
the Philippines will be settled anew.

DEPTH OF GULF LEssENED.
Survey Shows Change Near Mouth

Survey Shows Change Near Mouth
Of Mississippi.
Lieutenant Foster, In charge of the
New Orleans branch Of the United States
photographic Office. has reported to WASH
ington that recent survey Of the Gulf
of Mexico near the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi River shows only twenty-five faith
oms Of water, where there was sixty faith
oms at the time Of the previous survey.
Lieutenant Foster Is puzzled over the
phenomenon. Many believe that ]. was
caused by volcanic upheavals, the result
Of the recent earthquakes in the West
Indies. while others think It Is caused by
a deposit Of silt from the Mississippi
River. As result Of the discovery the
government probably will order new
survey Of the entire Gulf Of Mexico.
