IN THE SENATE.
Department. of Commerce Bill Sent to
the President.

Washington. Feb. 1l.-Hanna, today,
called up the conference report on the de-
partment of commerce bin and it was
agreed to without debate. The bill now
goes to the President.
Morgan almost Immediately after the
openng Of the session resumed his re-
eff on the subject of proposed treaty with
Colombia. He referred to the concordat
of Pope Plus TX, which constituted part
Of the organic law of Colombia, and said
that the United States intended to put
the heel of ignominious contempt upon it.
Depew spoke in opposition to the state
hood bill. He did not conclude his speech.
The Senate passed a House bill extend
ing the homesteads laws to Alaska. The
statehood bill then was taken up and
Morgan resumed his remarks in it's IA
vor. Taking up the subject of Mormon
influence in politics. Morgan referred to
the election of Mr.. Smott as senator from
Utah and said he would never think of
opposing his entry into the Senate be
cause he was an apostle of the Mormon
church, because religion in this country
by the constitution is intended to be free
and intended TO be protected.
Reverting to the treaty with Colombia
for the construction of an isthmian canal
Morgan said the United States intended
to put the heel of ignominious contempt
on the organic law of Colombia with re-
spect to religious freedom and trample it
under foot. I'VE are treating with those
people" he said. with the intent and
purpose of destroying that law, or else
for the purpose and under such circum-
stances as to disgrace the United States"
he asked who was to reconcile the prop
ositions when the Colombians contend for
their organic religious law while the
United States is contending for the con-
stitution of the United States and who
would prevent return of the hostiities
now apparently closed between the old
church party who maintained these dog
mas and the liberal party who have been
fighting them in every country.
He said the people of the United States
are not going to listen to arguments
against MormoniSm in Utah or Arizona
when we are straining every power for
action upon treaty with Colombia hav-
ing such an organic religious law as he
had referred to.
Depew followed in opposition to the ON
nibus statehood bill After speaking {,
short time Depew yielded to Hanna. who
called up the conference report on the de-
partment of commerce bill presented YES
terday and it was agreed to- This passes
the bill and it now. goes to the President.
Depew then continued his remarks and
said that the hold of the Mormon church,
which is the spiritual and temporal guide
of the Mormon people. was in a position
TO say to the leaders of both political par
ties. What will you do to protect Nor
monism?' If there is any fallibility in
the world. he said, it is the Judgment at
election time of the political leader of any
party
Teller said that IL day would be set
when a vote could be taken the Demo-
Gratis would all join in strengthening the
provision referred to. Depew had MOI

Don't Do Well With Hot Water.

I'VE housewives know better than to

common sense tells me that coffee or

it were not for the stomach troubles

never likes it fresh as well as the Sec
ond or third make over. Our physician
who recommended Postum to us was a
confirmed coffee drinker but found that
one cup of Postum satisfied him and
improved his digestion Immediately.
Another physician acquaintance had a
similar experience: But l started to

DIVORCE GRANTED.
Grown Prince of Saxony Given
Legal Separation.
Decree Issued on Ground That Reasons
Of State Demanded It.
Funny Story of Revolver Flourished by
M. Giron.

Dresden. Feb. 1.-THE suit for di-
vorce brought by the crown prince
against the former Crown Princess
Louise of Saxony was resumed in
Camera, today and after several doc
tors had finished expert testimony a
decree of divorce was granted.
Although the special court declined
to take into account the contention of
the former crown princess lawyers
that she was deranged, this theory is
fully accepted by King George, Crown
Prince Frederick and the Saxon court
as the view to be put forth within the
kingdom in future and that reasons of
state required the separation.
The legend will be nourished until
so far as Saxony is concerned, it viii
become historic truth.
The decree reads: The ties of the
marriage of the parties are dissolved
on account of adultery of the respond
ent with NJ Giron, q teacher of lam
guages. The blames attaches to the
respondent, who is ordered to pay the
costs of the proceedings"
Vienna, Feb. 11.-An interview with
Dr. Zahme of Dresden, the lawyer of
the former Crown Princess Louise of
Saxony, is published here, today. At
ter denying that Prof. Giron had been
paid to break off his relations with
the princess, DR.. Zehme said Mr.. Gil
ron was actuated by personal vanity.
According to the Zeit, the princess
would have left M. Giron when her
brother, Archduke Joseph, went to
Geneva in an endeavor to persuade
her to return, but for the fact that the
French teacher threatened her with a
revolver.

Judge Very Severe.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Humbert FAM
lily made their first appearance in the
criminal courts, today, when the case
of Nj. Cattan, the banker, was taken
up in the ninth correctional chamber.
Great public interest was manifested
in the proceedings and the courtroom

vious examinations of the Humberts

of seeing and hearing the prisoners.
The Humberts We're brought in like
any ordinary prisoners and took seats
in the prisoners box.
Madame Therese Humbert displayed
her usual bravado and GOODNESS, her
sister, Marie D'Aurignac, was appar-
emily much unnerved and the latter's
brothers, Romain and Emile D'Aurig-
nae, maintained an attitude of calm
defiance. The case does not involve
the main question concerning the re-
puted inheritance of millions from the
American, Crawford, but NJ. Cattanis
charge that they libeled him in refer
ring to the banker rs an usurer indi
rectly affects the entire transaction.
The early stages of the trial, today. did
not produce any sensations. Madame
Humbert gave n long. rambling state
ment of her dealings with NJ Cattani and
alleged that his demands for excessive in
terest and her borrowings from him
amounted TO about 5000 900. When NJ.
Cattani was heard and he repudia ted the
charge, Nine. Humbert sprang from her
seat and asked for the privilege of inter-
rogating the witness. but the magistrate
sternly repressed her

57TH CONGRESS.
The Senate Ratifies the Alaskan
Boundary Treaty.
Department Of Commerce Bill Now
Goes to the President.
House Willing to Have Improvements
on Capitol Made.

Washington, Feb. lin an execu-
tive session which lasted only an hour
and a half, today, the Senate in addi-
ton to confirming a large number OF
nominations ratified the Alaskan
boundary treaty and came near taking
similar action on the commercial treaty
with Greece which was reported by
Senator Cullom of the committee on
foreign relations. The Greek treaty
was read through by the clerk and then
Senator Cullom asked that the resolu-
ton of ratification be acted upon, but
Senator Hoar, Mass, objected. He
said that he desired an opportunity to
examine the provisions in the treaty
lconeerning consular trials. He ex-
planned that he had no objection to the
general purport of the treaty but said
that as the provision was read it SEEM
ed to hin. to be loosely drawn, ana he
wanted an opportunity to read it care
fully before giving his assent to it. The
principal point of the Greek treaty is
the regulation of commerce between
Graece and the United States. 1t con-
tains full provisions for the control of
the consular service along the lines laid
down in the recently negotiated Spanish
treaty.
There was no delay in securing action
on the Alaskan treaty and very little
opposition to it was manifested.
Senator Cullom asked the Senate to
| give up the day, tomorrow, after the
conclusion of routine morning business
Ito executive work, and no objection
was made. 1t is Senator Cullom's in
ltention first to take up the Panama
canal treaty and to follow that with
the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
