that the move would not result in the
passage of the statehood bill, whatever
might be its effect on the treaty. They did
not believe that it would prevent ratifca-
tion of the treaty.
Before Mr.. Quay took the floor Senator
Hoar made brief speech in support of the
treaty, saying that since the Spooner act
had become law the United States is in
honor bound to consummate the transac-
ton provided for by that act.
After the reading OF the Colombian con-
stitution had been concluded, which re-
quired about two hours time, Senator De-
pew asked if the translation was correct.
Senator Mason replied that it was, which
assurance Mr.. Depew said was thoroughly

especially to-day what he characterized as
a discrepancy between the terms of the
act of June 23 last, authorizing the pur-
chase of the Panama Canal Company's
franchises and property, and the terms of
the treaty. He quoted from the treaty the
clause providing for the lease of the canal
zone, and from the act-the language of the
second section authorized the President to
acquire perpetual control of strip of land
six miles in width-and charged that the
two were utterly Inconsistent The pre-
sentation of this point led to an animated
debate, in which seven or eight senators

can came to his office at Green Tree Camp.
II asked him how his mother-in-law and
wife were and how she had enjoyed her
visit to Pittsburg. and he said very well.
and added: Il understand you were out
to see her several times l said not several
times. but that i had been out to see her.
He asked me to show him the nearest way
to the cars and l told him / certainly

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Astonishment is

the Herald's Caracas correspondent, that
nothing has yet been heard of the return

BABEL AND BIBLE"


Emperor Williams Reply to Prof.
Delitsch-Belfeves in Only One God.
BERLIN, Feb. 19.-The discussion which
has been recently progressing the SUBJ
ject of the Hebrew religion under the head
ing of babel and Bible" has called forth
a letter signed by the German Emperor,
in a Leipsic weekly, in which he defines
his own position. The Emperor. addressing
himself to the theories of Professor De-
litsch one of the controversialists, says
he thinks Delitsch made great mistake
In approaching the question of revelation
in polemic spirit.
The letter lays down the following con-
clusions arrived at by Emperor william:
81 believe in the one and only God We
may need form in order to teach His ex-
istence especially for children. This
has hitherto been the Old Testament The
present version of this will, possibly and
substantially, be modified under the infiu-
ence of research through inscriptions and
excavations. That does not matter Neither
does it matter that much of the nimbus of
the chosen people will thereby disappear.
The kernel Of the contents of the Old Testa-
ment will remain always the God and His
works. Religion has never been the re-
suit of science. but the pouring out of
the heart and being of man from inter-
course with God

he was finally silenced. He voted no.
Boyd, of Putnam, explained his vote.

il sought to enforce the principle. He was
not excited, but he registered an emphauc
no against the bill
The roll call proceeded without any fur
ther extraordinary outbreak until the name
of Scfers was reached. The member from
Washington proceeded to explain his vote,
and he had not uttered two sentences until
ii was very apparent that he was for the
bill and that he had, therefore. determined
to bolt the decision of the minority caucus
to oppose Ii. He said that he was for the
bill because il would be the means OF max
ing deadbeats pay their share of the taxes
of the State and that thereby the burden
of the farmer who now pays the bulk OF
the taxes would be lightened. Adair inter-
rupted Scifers with a question which only
melted the latter TO greater warmth in

asked a question. Adair Is the Democratlc
caucus chairman and IL evidently went
hard with him to see one OF his following
deserting to the enemy, consequently MS
questions had something vitriolic about
them that stung. Scifers continued his
advocacy of the bill and said: Il am deep
