ADMISSION OF STATES,
Will Receive the Attention of the
Senate.

Washington, Dec. I'm accordance
with the unanimous agreement of last
session, the Senate will take up the
statehood bill next Wednesday, and it
is expected to remain the unfinished
business for some time thereafter.
The bill will undoubtedly provoke con-
siderable debate, and it is generally
believed that it will continue to re-
ceive attention until the adjournment
for the Christmas holidays, at least.
Senator Beverage and other members
of the committee, who agree with him,
will give careful attention to the tes-
timony taken by the subcommittee
which recently visited the territories.
The committees witten report has
not yet been submitted to the SEN
ate, but it is generally understood that
a strong position will be taken in OPP
position to the claims of New Mexico
and Arizona, considerable stress be-
ing laid on the fact that a large per-
centage of the people of those terri
tories do not use the English Ian
guage, and that interpreters are nee
essary in the conduct of the business
of many of the courts.
1t is expected that the immigration
bill will continue to receive desultory
attention on Monday and Tuesday, but
the proceedings with reference to this
bill will consist largely in the reading
of the bill and the consideration of
amendments.
There will be more or less of exec
utive business during the week, and
in all probability another adjournment
from Thursday until the following
Monday.

LONDON DOCK BILL.
VIII Be Taken Up by the House This
Week

Washington, Dec. 1.-The House this
week has no mapped-out programme,
beyond the disposition of the London
dock charge bill tomorrow and the re-
port of the Elections Committee on the
contested election case of Wagner
versus Butler, from the Twelfth Mis-
sissippi District, on Wednesday.
The London dock bill has been
pressed by exporting interests, espe-
cially the milling districts of the
Northwest, and is opposed by the At
lantic shipping interests. The passage
of the bill is considered doubtful.
The Wagner Butler case is some
what of an anomaly. Mr.. Butler was
unseated at the last session and his
seat was declared vacant. He was re-
elected in November to fill the vacan-
cy having about 5000 majority on the
face of the returns. His opponent now
contests, but in order to secure action
before March 4, the rules relating to
the preliminaries of a contest, which
may be strung out for months, must
be shortened
If the legislative appropriation bill
is completed in time, it will probably
be taken up the latter part of the week.
If not, the remainder of the time may
be occupied by minor bills reported by
committees

THOUGHT IT SERIO-COMIC.
Views Taken of the Trouble In the
French Chnmber of Deputies.

Paris. Dec. THE violent scenes in
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday.
which marked the close of the session,
are followed to-day by a lively dis
cussion of the incidents in Parliament
tary and official circles. A portion of
the press treats the affair humorously
as indicative of the excitability of the
parties concerned. The most serious
journals however, comment in a re-
gretful tone on the incident.
The account published by the Matin
presents a veritable pugilistic en-
counter. and even the Journal Official
affords an exchange of blows between
the members of the chamber.
In an interview, NJ. Syveton defends
the course he took yesterday. declar-
ing that Minister Vale was the ag
gressor. He asserts that the affair
CURED on the field of honor between
him and the minister.
Concerning the summoning of pla-
toon of soldiers, Nj. Syveton says:
Let the majority beware of this
precedent. When the time arrives for
soldiers to be introduced into the
chamber to intimidate the representa-
tives of the people, a dangerous state
OF affairs exists. If force is to rule,
long confronted with soldiers"
M SyVeton has chosen the Marquis
de Dion and NJ. Guyot de Villaneuve
as his seconds to meet the seconds APP
pointed by Minister Vale. AS a pre-
liminary to a meeting. however. it
must be decided who was the agrees
sor and whether the offense comes
within the code of honor. Deputy Syve-
tons personal offense against Minister
Vale consists in giving him the lie,
while the minister's personal offense
consists of calling M. Syveton a
wretch.
Further complication is pointed out
by the Figaro, which says that duell-
ing is practically interdicted among Of
iicials in authority, and to engage In
a duel is tantamount to the giving up
OF his portfolio by an official The
general belief is that the seconds Will
determine that no cause for a duel exl
lists.
Deputy Coutant has been interview
ed and says that as the chamber vot-
ed his expulsion and voted confidence
in the government, he will appeal to
his constituents for vindication.

DISPUTE OVER PATOS.
Venezuela and Great britain Both
Claim the Island.


Claim the Island.
Washington, Dec. Tn Venezuela's
yellow Book" for 1901, copy OF
which has been received in Washing
ton recently from the foreign Office at
Caracas, are the exchanges between
the London and Caracas governments
last year in regard to the ownership
of Patos Island, which has been in
dispute. between the two countries for
many years.
Significance attaches to this CORES
pondence in view of the approaching
crises between Venezuela and Great
Britain, as it is not improbable that
in the settlement Of the claims of
British and German citizens against
Venezuela the Patos dispute also will
be involved. Reopening of the Patos
question was caused by the action OF
the Venezuelan gunboat Augusta in
January, 1901, In capturing certain
British subjects on the island. When
the Caracas authorities were called to
account by the London foreign office,
the former replied by renewing their
long standing claim to Patos, and Ia
diplomatic controversy extending
throughout the year was the result.
Venezuela bases her claims to the
island on its proximity to the coast of
Guiria, from which it is distant only
three miles, claiming that 1t is a tenet
of international law that a country
commands waters within a marine
league of its coast: that the internal
tional law institute has defined the
territorial sea as six miles, whereas
the island of Patos is more than ten
miles from Trinidad, the nearest Brit
ish possession.
Great Britain, through her charge
d'affaires at Caracas, and later through
her minister, advanced the contention
that when she conquered the Island OF
Trinidad in 1897. sovereignty over Pa
tos was also obtained and so recog-
nized by the Madrid government; that
Patos has remained in the. peaceful
possession of Great Britain for more
than a century, during seventy years
of which time Venezuela advanced no
claim.
1t is understood that President Cas-
tro will ask that the question be set
tied by arbitration, a proposition to
which the British government win
hardly accede In view of its contention
that the ownership of Patos Is so
clearly British as not to furnish a
suitable subject for arbitration.

GIBBONS ON THE FRiARS.
Cardinals Reference to Them in His
Sermon

Baltimore, Dec. 7.-Cardinal Gibbons
referred in his sermon to-day in the
Cathedral to the aspersions cast upon
the friars i'll the Philippine Islands. He
said in part:
much has been said and written in
the past two years regarding the friars
in the Philippines They have been
praised and abused in turn. Perhaps
the best way to judge of these much
maligned men in the Far East is to
consider the character of their conse-
Grated brethren and sisters here in
Baltimore. This investigation will give
us an opportunity of ascertaining how
far the religious men and women of
this city are initiating the example of
Christ as presented in to-days Cos

His Eminence dwelt at length upon
the work that is being performed by

in this city. He claimed that the paro-
chial schools and Catholic colleges save
to the city fully 100000 annually.

HAY WAS COMMENDED.
Jewish Women Approve His Efforts
on Behalf of Jews.

Baltimore, Dec. THE Council of
Jewish Women, in triennial convention,
to-day, adopted the following resolu-
ton:
THAT an expression of appreciation
be sent to Secretary Hay for his eff
forts in behalf of humanity, as shown
by his recent letter to the Powers of
Europe regarding the Roumanian
Jews"
The greater part of to-day's session
was devoted to a parliamentary dis
cussion of a recommendation of Mrs.
Solomon, the president, as follows:
AS the council will celebrate its
tenth birthday during the st. Louis
Worlds Fair, it would be well to hold
a convention there, which should be in
the nature of an international con-
gress, to discuss affairs Of importance
to the Jews: that noted members of
the race in this country and Europe be
invited to speak, and thus insure the
success of the affair.""
1t was finally decided that as there
is no section of the order in st. Louis,
that the matter be deferred.
