Washington. Feb. 5--ThrouGhout to- days session the senate had under con- siaeration the urgent deficiency appro- priation bill and just before adjourn ment passed il substantially in the shape i0 which it was reported to the senate by the committee.
 During the early part of the session the district court of Alaska Alex aEder Mckenzie and others was dis cussed- Mir McCumber of North Da- kota delivered an elaborate speech in defense of Judge Moves and Mckenzie. He incidentally criticised the circuit court or appeals of san Francisco for permitting itself to be influenced by prejudice and bias.
 MT. MCCumber became involved in d collOuuy with M-. Tiiiman. who said he appeared in the novel attitude of a de- fender of the United States judiciary. The South Carolina senator had inti- m2Ued that he would deliver d speech on the Moves case. but at the conclusion of MT. McCumber's speech he contented himself practically with putting into the congressional record the decision of the circuit court of appeals of san Francisco in the cases of contempt against Moves and Mckenzie
 In a brief speech MT. Stewart re- viewed the case, speaking strongly against Judge Moves and his notions in Alaska.

sion Of the nomination of Ben Daniels to be marshal of the territory of Ari- zcna was continued. Senator Hoar, as chairman of the committee on judi ciary, which reported favora bly, on the nomination. explained that Daniels commission had already been issued, rendering it imprac acticable to adopt Sen ator Teller's motion to reconsider the vote by which he had been confirmed.
 further explanation was made to the effect that the president had begun an examination of the case on his own responsibility by wiring to Cheyenne fer particulars concerning the man who was imprisoned there and who is sup posed tc have been Daniels. ana by telegraphiuE Daniels himself instruct inG him net to enter upon the discharge of his duties until the charges made could be Investigated.

'I spent three weeks with a friend in Dayton last winter. She was using Postun Coffee exclusively as a bever- age at meals.

We got to liking this Postum Coffee for il serves as q food as well as a beverage, and ".e have all felt so much better since. leaving off the old coffee
 "I learned to make the PostUm and made 1t fine. so when ] went home l began to serve it to my husband in stead of the old fashioned coffee. About Q week afterwards ! asked him how he liked the coffee. and told him I had been trying q new kind. He says, T think it is most excellent. Is it Mocha or Java or miXture?' I told him that it was the famous Postun we had read so much about and he most jumped from his chair in surprise, but the change has become q fixture and he will never give up Postum and go back to the old fashioned coffee.

 "I:y coming into our political union Cuba will secure immediately the high est degree of freedom and with 1t q large market for her varied products. Those products Mill not threaten our sugar industry so seriously as they would under reciprocal trade arrange ments. for the reason that the restricted la bor laws of this country will apply and will raise the cost Of production to such an extent as to prevent an over stimulat ton of her industries. while her supplies would be bought in the high protected tmarlket of this country in- stead of the cheap markets Of the world. I much prefer a political union, for that involves the best kind of a commercial union that can be estab- lished between two countries.
 such annexation is entirely in line with the traditional policy of this country. When the time for statehood comes. Cuba, Porto Rico and the other West India islands in our possession may he incorporated into the union as one state. thus doing away with the danger of over representation in the senate"

Washington, Feb. 5.-(SpeciaL)-Be r. Daniels commission as mashal has been mailed to Arizona. but the presi- dent has wired to prevent it's delivery until the alleged Wyoming penitentiary record Of Daniels has been investigated. This information was given out in an executive session of the senate today. It was also stated that the president had wired the Wyoming officials to verify the charges. Hence the action of the judiciary committee is delayed.
 Daniels case is exciting widespread interest and is causing President Roosevelt much annoyance. II is al- most without precedent for an appoint nent to be twice confirmed, twice re- considered and twice sent-tol sthe com mittce for further action.
