as the OFFICIAL ROUTE. thus dlsposlns
OF all misleading statements on this point.
In making this selection the following

Union Pacific is the only line running
through trains via Denver and Salt Lake
to California; that It is 27s miles shorter
to San Francisco, and 16 hours quicker
than any other line, and that. as less time
is consumed via this route, there are
fewer incidental expenses on the trip.

DANISH TREATY IS RATIFIED.
Senate Approves the Convention With
out Amendinu II.

out Amending It.
Washington, Feb. 18.-Yesterday,
in little more than an hours time,
the senate disposed of the treaty with
Denmark. ceding to the United States
for consideration of $5,000,00O the
islands of st. Thomas, ST. John and
st. Croix. composing the group of the
Antilles known as the Danish West
Indies, and lying just east of Porto
Rico, and thus, SO far as this country
is concerned, consummated a transac-
tion which has been under considera-
ton internationally since the admins
tration OF President Lincoln. The
treaty and the report on 1t were read
at length and more or less discussion
of the proposition was indulged in.
Senator Cullom made speech explain
ing the advantages of the acquisition
Of the islands. and Senators Bacon
and McLaurin (Miss.) made brief re-
marks, saying that while they could
not endorse all the provisions of the
agreement, they would place no obsta-
cles in the way of ratification. Sena-
tor Bacon proposed an amendment
eliminating the paragraph in the
treaty giving authority to congress to
fix the civil and political rights of the
inhabitants. but it was voted down by
viva vice vote. The resolution to
ratify was adopted without division.

WOMEN PLEAD FOR BALLOT.
suffrasists Tell Congress Why They
Should BE Allowed to Vote.

Should Be Allowed to Vote.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Delegations
representing the Woman's Suffrage as
sociation, now in session here, ap-
peared before committees of congress
yesterday in advocacy of their plea
that women be allowed to exercise the
right OF suffrage. In the senate they
appeared before the committee on
woman suffrage. The meeting was
presided over by Senator Bacon, who
practically turned over the control of
the hearing to Susan B. Anthony, who
made the first address of the day.
She began by calling attention to the
fact that for "a years, or II congress
es, the women have been coming to
congress with their pleas, but she said
that only on one occasion had their
proposed amendment to the constitu-
tfon been awarded the honor Of being
taken up in the senate for discussion.
She therefore made an appeal to be
heard by the senate, expressing the
conviction that the women of the
country are as much entitled to be
heard as are the Filipinos, the Porto
Ricans and the Hawaiians.
On the house side the delegation ap-
peared before the judiciary committee.
Mrs. Carrie ChapmanCatt explained
to the committee that she desired par
ticularly that the foreign delegates
should describe to the committee the
progress Of the woman suffrage move
ment in other parts of the world. The
speakers were Miss Vida Goldstein of
Australia, Mrs. Ewald of Sweden. Mrs.
Freedland of Russia and Mrs. Fen
wick Miller of England.
Last nights session of the conven-
tion brought the annual meeting to
close. The principal address was de-
liyered by Senator Patterson Of Colo

REPEALS WAR TAX
RICHARDSON SPRINGS A COM.
PLETE SURPRISE IN HOUSE.
When Majority Decides Two Days Is
Enough Time for Debate, the Minor
ity Moves to Vote at Once and 1t Is

Enough Time for Debate, the Minor
ity Moves to Vote at Once and It Is
Done Unanimously.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The unex-
pected happened in the house yester-
day when the bill to repeal the war
revenue taxes was passed unanimous
ly without a word of debate. This
action was the outcome of challenge
thrown down by Richardson (Tenn.)
the minority leader, after the adop-
ton by strict party vote of special
order for the consideration of the bill,
which permitted debate on it until
o'clock this afternoon, but cut off all
opportunities to offer amendments, ex-
cept those agreed upon by the ways
and means committee. The adoption
of the rule had been preceded by a
stormy debate, in the course of which
the Democrats protested against the
application of the gag" which Hay
Va.) charged was meant to prevent a
free expression, not only by the Demo-
Gratis, but by some of the Republicans,
attention being especially directed to-
ward Babcock (Wis.), the father of
the bill to amend the steel schedule
of the present tariff law. They also
charged that such method of pro-
cedure was minimizing the influence
OF the house and making it simply b
machine to register the DEGREES of
the few men in control. Babcock said
that he supported the program on the
ground that the issue presented for
the repeal of the war revenue tax
should not be complicated with other
matters. At the same time he gave
notice that he should press his own
bill at the first opportunity. Dalzell
(Pa.) scored point against the minor
ity by recalling the time, under Demo
cratic control of the house, when 694
amendments to the Wilson tariff bill
had been forced through without be-
Ing read. When the rule was adopted,
by vote of 158 to 120, Richardson, to
emphasize the fact that debate on the
bill could accomplish nothing and
that deliberation on it would be fruit
less, asked unanimous consent that
the bill be placed on its passage. Not
an objection was voiced and the vote
was taken forthwith. Every vote,
27S in number, was cast in the af1irma-
tive and the house quietly came to the
end of what at one time had promised
ITO be one of the most exciting contests
