 Afterward he learned that his boy was confined with many of the young criminals and incorrigibles of West Virginia, and on realizing the mistake he had made he talked of suicide. The The justice said he had understood Ja- cobusse at the time of the trial to mean his boy was an incorrigible. Communi- caticn followed with Superintendent Durnall, of the reformed school, but he refused to turn over his charge until certain technicalities were observed and a mass of red tape was presented.
 The poor Italian merchant scraped up $14 for the expenses, and Constable Darby left for the reform school at midnight, but it is not known whether the boy will be released on the strength of the justices request, in which event extensive litigation must follow. On his release the justice must hold an- other trial to untangle the remarka- ble complication.

Through their representatives here they have in formed MT. Bowen that they will stand by all agreements they made with him and will not be influenced by the action of Germany.

MENDED CHINA Don't Do Well With Hot Water.

'We housewives know better than to use hot water on mended china and common sense tells me that coffee 9r tea should never be used by those who have undergone operations for stomach trouble or appendicitis, etc. Tn fact if it Were not for the stomach troubles set up by coffee I believe these opera tions would not be necessary in nine cases out of ten.' says a lady of Peoria, III. My husband has been changed from confirmed dyspeptic to an aver age healthy eater by the use of Postum in place of coffee.

AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
One Secured for Today With Mir.
 Quay's Consent.

Washington, February 1:.-In an eX- ecutive session which lasted only an hour and a half today the senate, in addition to confirming a. large number of nomina tions, ratified the Alaskan boundary treaty and came near taking similar action on the commercial treaty
 with Greece. which was reported by Senator Cullom today from the com
 mittee on foreign relations.
 The Greek treaty was read through
 by the clerk, and then Senator Cullon asked that the resolution of ratification
 be acted on, but Senator Hoar of Mas sachusetts objected. He said that he desired an opportunity to examine the provision of the treaty concerning con- sular trials. He explained that he had no objection to the general purport of l the treaty.
 | There was no delay in securing action
 on the Alaskan treaty and very little | opposition was manifested. Senator 1 Teller said he considered the Alaska ? l boundary so well determined as to make
 it not a matter of dispute. Therefore, while he would not delay it, he would not vote for it. Senator Mason made a
 few similar remarks. adding that he
 considered the procedure proposed by | the treaty non-American. The ayes and i nays were not called, but several voices 1 were heard in the negative when an in | formal expression was called for. The | decision of the chair to the effect tha
 ratification had prevailed was not chal- 1 lenged.
 | Senator Cullom asked the senate to give up the day tomorrow after the con- ! clusion of the morning business to ex-
 ecutive business and no objection was made. Senator Quay, who has charge
 of the statehood bill, gave his assen,
 with the others. It is Senator Cui- loms intention to first take up the Panama treaty and follow that with | the Cuban treaty.
 The understanding still is that Sena- tor Morgan will discuss the cana treaty at some length.

MIR. DEPEW
Alarmed at the Mormon Feature of the
 Statehood Question.

Washington, February11.-Mr- Hanna today called up the conference report on the department of commerce bill, and it was agreed to without debate. The bill now goes to the president.
 MT. Morgan almost immediately after the opening of the session resumed his remarks on the statehood bill, but branched off on the subject of the pro- posed treaty with Colombia. lie re- ferred to the concordat of Pope Plus TX, which constituted a part of the or ganic law of Colombia, and said the United States intended to put the heel of ignominious contempt upon it. He predicted return of hostilities between the old church party in Colombia and the iibera; party.
 MT Depew spoke in opposition to the statehood bill
 He said the head of the Mormon church was in a position to say to the leaders of both political parties: What will you do to protect Mormonism? If there is any fallibility in the world. he said, it is the judgment at eelctfon time of the political leaders of any party.

TWO MEN DIED
 IN FIERY PRISON
Result of an Outbreak in (
 Mining Shaft
Ten Climbed to Safety but Their Com panions Fell Back Into a Fatal Bed of Smoke, Steam and Deadly Gases.

Duluth, Minn., February 1.-Two lives were lost and ten men had mar row escapes as a result of fire in No. 3 shaft at the Spruce mine. owned by the United States Steel corporation, at Eveleth. Minn.. today.
 The dead
 JOHN O'BRIEN, unmarried.
 WILLIAM MATTHEWS, married.
 The fire was caused by the explosion of lantern which was left near the edge of the shaft on the second level, 150 feet below the surface. Ninety feet deeper in the mine twelve men were at work in drift which was being put through from No. to No. l shaft. There was no escape for them except by the way of No. 2, in which the fire was raging.
 The efforts of the firemen were di- rected with good effect upon the blaz- ing woodwork which lined the shaft, the hose being run down the shaft No. l and carried to the point where the fire originated. There was ventilation for fremen, but none for the men in the drift ninety feet below them. The air soon became freighted with steam, gas and smoke and the candles carried by imprisoned men were of little avail. They groped to the point where thC drift joins the No. 3 shaft and peered upward and when they could no longer see fire above them began climbing the ladder
 Ten of the men reached the second level. Two were overcome when about forty eet from the point where safety was assured, and fell back to death.

Washington, D. C.. February Il (SpeciaD.-Despite the efforts of anti statehood republicans to create an inn pression that a compromise has been agreed upon, the situation today is pre- cisely where it was at the beginning of the week. MT. Quay has asked several prominent republicans and democrats who have stood by him if the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as one state would be agreeable to them and he has been told that they would oppose such compromise.
 A leading democratic senator told me today that it would be impossible to pass a compromise bill. People close to Quay say he believes he can pass the omnibus bill as a rider to one of the appropriation bills, and is not taking any part in the compromise proceed ings. It cannot be denied that the pro- posed compromise would be satisfac- tory to Quay. as his interest in the statehood question had its inception in his connection with people who have financial holdings in New Mexico. A the same time he appreciates the fact that the combination would be harmful to Arizona, and he may be relied upon to push the omnibus bill to the last ditch.
 There is a growing sentiment in op- position to Beveridge in the senate. and it may result in votes for the omnibus bill He has interrupted so many sena- tors and made himself so persistently obnoxious even to men on his side, that several of them are said to have reach ed the point that they would like tc see him turned down hard. Although there is plenty of gossip concerning thc situation, it would be folly to attempt to predict the outcome of the fight a, this time c. c. RANDOLPH.

greater bid for the Mormon vote than cid the democrats?"
 Replying, MT. Depew said that both parties made every possible bid, but the Mormons trusted the republicans, which caused laughter. He character ized the anti-polygamy section of the statehood bill as a sham, and said there had been no proposition from the democratic side to straighten it.
 Mir Teller said that if q day be seI when a vote could be taken the demo- cratic side would all join in strength ening the provisions offered to.
 MT. Depew had not concluded when, at 4:1O p. m. the senate went into exc cutive session. and at 4:55 the senat@ adjourned until tomorrow.
