the committee on the regulation of ath-
letic sports. Some significance may be
attached to the position Of this report
in the order of departmental reports,
for it follows those on Harvard's college
and the Lawrence scientific school and
precedes the report on the graduate
school and the professional schools,
thus inviting the inference that athletic
sports are after all the CONCERN chiefly
of the two undergraduate departments.
President Eliot calls attention to the
interesting fact that at least 1000 of the
$500 students in the Cambridge depart
ments of the university take part in
some outdoor sports. He notes that
changes in football rules have been fol-
lowed by an increase rather than a de-
crease in injuries and says that under
the existing rules the game tends to be-
come slower and less visible in its de-
tails and therefore less interesting" He
goes on to say:
Moreover, the ethics Of the game,
which are the imperfect ethics of war,

Inns resolution calling on the secretary
of war for the proceedings in certain
courts martial He charged that MUIR
der in the Philippines by American SOL
diers have been so common that they
would not bear investigation, and this
answer was entirely satisfactory to
our noble, generous and humane secre-
tary of war" He also criticised the
president for never having heard of
theCaptain Brownell case after having
announced his intention of probing
crimes in the Philippines"
Mr.. Kean spoke on the statehood bill
for short time when he yielded to
various senators who indulged in de-
bate over the question of the influence
of the Mormon church in politics. Mr..
Elkins also spoke at length in defense
of the claims of New Mexico to state
hood. After brief executive session
the senate at $40 p. M. adjourned un-

MORMONs AND POLITICS.
Discussion ~ Senate During Debate on
.s-~s ssateIa o cd Rlll.

a4~ Statehood Bil.
Washington, Feb. 9.-During the de-
bate in the senate this afternoon on the
statehood bill, Mr.. Rawlins, answering
some references Of Mr.. Kean to the
Mormons, said that in Salt Lake City,
the non-Mornons were glad to aid in
electing Mormons to important political
offices because of their desire to give to
the municipality good government. Ger
tain elements in the church, he said, by
reason of long habit, were disposed to
yield to the distates of prominent indi-
viduals in the church. ''It is not to be
denied that their influence is very con-
siderable" he said, "but there was still
a large element among the Mormons
who resent the idea of such interfer-
ence.''
Mr.. Keane said the people of the Unit
ed States were opposed to polygamy,
and meant in every way to stamp it out.
Answering Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. Kean said
the Mormons who fed from Idaho to
Mexico undoubtedly would return to the
United States and mix in the politics of
Arizona and attempt to usurp the pub
lie authority of that state should it be
admitted.
Mr.. Hale interrupted to remark that
every time this phase of the subject
was reached 1t presented some new in
formation and before anything further
was done he thought somebody should
submit amendments in order to have
an expression of the senate on this sub
ject and bring it determinately before
the senate for its action. Mr. Kean
said he would offer an amendment of
this kind.

QUIET IN TIE BRASS CITY
4 FEW ISOLATED INSTANCES OF
MISCHIEF.

no Damage Causrd-Deputiss StIIi
Riding on the Cars bat Find Little to
Do--Rev. DIR. john G Davenport Says
strikers Have Mtsconstrued The Words
of HIS Sermon sunday.
Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 9.-The city is
exceedingly quiet tonight, although
there are reported a few isolated in
stances of mischief. One of the North
Main street cars ran over two old horse
shoes which had been place in the guard
rail early this evening. Either of them
might have derailed the car, but were
not.
On Bank street, in Brooklyn district,
one of the conductors was hit with a
bolt thrown from the locality of one of
the manufacturing plants.
Sheriff Dunham went to New Haven
this morning, but returned again this
evening. The deputies continue to ride
on the cars, but find little to occupy
their attention, as there is practically
no trouble.
Although few are riding late in the
evening, the cars were well patronized
on all lines at o'clock.
DR.. John G. Davenport, whose yester-
day morning sermon was quoted in the
press of many cities, in letter tonight
to the Republican says that the strik-
ers have misconstrued his meaning.
The latter were highly elated at the
stand DR.. Davenport took, as he re-
marked that he believed $3.50 per day
would not be too much for days work
consisting of ten hours, in view of the
exposure they undergo and the cost of
supporting families at this time.
DR.. Davenport says that he did not
presume to fix any rate of wages; that
ne believes the trolley company had
the right, as all employers should have
to discharge any man it saw fit, and
urges the returning to work, expressing
the belief that such conduct will soon
win for them, the better hours and
wages they ask for.
The latter part of the evening result
ed in no further troublesome incidents
and no cases were reported to the DO
lice.

DIR. BUCKLEY CAUSES SENSATION
Says Methodism Is DeclinIng Instead o
Growing.

New York, Feb. 9.-Rev. DR.. f. M.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Advo-
cate of this city, caused a sensation at
meeting of Methodist preachers here
to-day. The previous speaker, D. D.
Thompson, editor of the Northwestern
Christian Advocate of Chicago, had
spoken in most enthusiastic way, de-
claring that million and a half con-
verts had been made by the Methodist
church in the past four years. DR..
Buckley disputed the accuracy of these
figures. He declared that statistics
showed that Methodism was actually
declining, in some of the eastern con-
ferences, at any rate. He believed. in
looking at the facts, he declared, and
it was a grievous mistake to take an
over-optimistic view. His statements
were vehemently opposed by other
members of the, meeting. DR.. Buckley
made several short answers to the at
tacks made upon him.

DELAY In SETTLEMENT.
OBJECTION TO ITALY,s and
GERMANY,s PROTOCOLS.

MIR. Bowen Centends That the Pro-
Visions of Both Insist ON Preferential
Treatment, a auestion Already greed
TO be Left TO The Hague--nIisunder-
sfanding Likely Soon to be Adjusted.
Washington, Feb. 9.--Although Mr.
Bowen and the other negotiators are
closely guarding the provisions Of the
several protocols it is understood to-
night that the demands which are
known to exist in the German and Ital-s
ian agreements as they are at present
drafted which Mr.. Bowen cannot agree
to concern an increased payment BY
Venezuela prior to the handing down Of
The Hague's decision regarding the al
lies contention for preferential consid-
Grafton, in the settlement of their
claims. 1t is reported that Germany
asks that she receive in addition to the
$27, 800 cash that Mr.. Bowen has agreed
to pay, certain percentage Of the Gus
toms receipts until the remainder Of the
$340, 900 demanded in the original ulti-
matum addressed by Germany to Pres
ident Castro last autumn is paid
Italy, it is believed, Is insisting on
similar demand, though the amount
asked for in her ultimatum was over
$500,000. Both Germany and Italy sug-
gest that this money be paid in month
11yt,, toll ,4e,< r,f
ties, but even under this arrangement
it would require eight months for the
payment of the entire sums.
1t is the principle, however, to which
Mr.. Bowen SO strenuously objects and
which he has informed the German and
italian envoys he cannot subscribe to.
Until their protocols are relieved OF
these Objectionable demands Mr.. Bow
en- says that they must remain un-
signed He contends that Germany
and Italy are insisting on preferential
treatment a question which they agree
in their protocols shall go to The
Hague.
1t is the firm opinion Of both the.
Italian ambassador and the German
minister that the insertion In their
/ protocols of these demands is the result
of serious misunderstandin on the
part of their foreign offices Of certain
phases of the negotiations which were
supposed to be settled. They are using
every effort to have this 1nisunder-i
standing cleared up and have informed
Mr.. Bowen they hope to submit their
conventions to him in few days.
Mr.. Bowen has made 1t plain to the
allies representatives that he is willing
to consider any reasonable requests
they may advance but that he will not
yield to the extent Of signing the pres
| ent German and italian protocols. Pub
lished reports that Germany included
in her protocol demand for an apol-
ogy from President Castro or his resig-
! nation is news to M. Bowen and Of
course would not be considered.

Utah Residents Object to His Being
Seated I'm the Senate

seated im the Senate.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bur-
rows, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, has received a
protest against the seating of Reed
Smoot as a senator from Utah on the
ground that he is an apostle of the
Mormon church, and that as such he
should not represent the people of Utah
in the senate. The document is very
voluminous and quotes literally from
the sermons speeches and other Nor
mon utterances showing the power of
the priesthood of the Mormon church
over all matters spiritual and temporal.
Senator Frye, as president pro tenn. of
the senate, received q copy of the pro-
test. 1t was decided by Senators Bur-
rows and Frye not to present the pro-
test to the senate until Mr. Smoot's Gre
dentials are presented, when both will
be referred to the committee on privi-
Ieges and elections.
The signers of the protest are resi-
dents of Utah. A statement furnished
the committee gives the politics and oc-
cupation of the signers and a brief
sketch of each, the purpose being to
show that all of them are men of high
standing in the state.
1t shows that fifteen of the signers
are republicans and four democrats
In occupation the list includes mining
men, railroad men, engineers, lawyers,
ministers, teachers and two former
mayors of Salt Lake City.
