THE DAY IN THE SENATE.
Claim of Queen LIIiuOkaIani Pro-
vOked Discussion

TOked Discussion
Washington, Feb. 25-The Senate
to-day made rapid progress in the dis
position of matters pending before it.
The statehood riders 10 the agricul-
tural and postofice appropriation bills
were withdrawn and both bills passed.
The House amendments to the Philip
pine currency bills were agreed to
with but slight discussion, thus sending
the bill to the President. The sundry
civil bill was also considered and near
ly completed. The conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill was
adopted.
In the course of the day Civil Service
Commissioner Foulke was severely
criticised on account of d letter writ
ten by him to Senator SpoOner regard
ing the dismissal of an employee of the
surveyor-generals office, Idaho, who
has been charged with receiving CAM
paign contributions. the discussion
having arisen when a resolution by
Senator Dubois, calling for infOrma-
ton in the case, was laid before the
Senate.
Senator Bacon of Georgia questioned
the propriety of the matter being
brought to the notice of the Senate in
the way Mr.. Foulke had done. 1t was
an act of supreme effrontery and an
indignity to the Senate for such let
ter to be written while the resolution
was pending. Sena tor Bacon thought
it should be withdrawn and not appear
in the record.
Senator Spooner said if he concluded
there was anything in it discourteous
to the Senate he would withdraw it.
When the APPROPRIATION of 100000
for Queen Liliuokalani was reached in
the sundry civil bills, some discussion
was aroused. Sena tor Morgan thought
the matter should go over. Senator
Hoar said the Queen was a woman of
great personal worth and he hoped ~
appropriation would be made. Senator
Blackburn said the Committee on Pa
cific Islands was unanimous in the
recommendation 1t was not contend
ed, he said, that there is a legal claim
involved against the United States.
She has no day in court" he said
The fee to the crown lands was not
in her, but in the sovereign, but she
was absolute in the receipt of the
rents. Since her overthrow, he said
the government has collected $450,000
in rents from those lands. He thought
it would be "a good investment to pay
the claim. The matter went over
a bill to incorporate the American
National Institute in Paris excited
some discussion. Its object is to per-
nit the acceptance of a tract of land
from France. and the reception of
number of art gifts from that coun-
try.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
objected and the bill went over.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row.

son POstOnice.


Washington, Feb. 25.-Postmaster
General Payne had a conference with
the President to-day concerning some
appointments soon to be made.
Recently Senator Pritchard of North
Carolina withdrew the name of the
man whom he had recommended for
the postmastership of Wilson, N. c.,
and requested the President to ap-
point DR.. B. T. Person to the office.
The present incumbent is Samuel II.
Wick, negro, who has made a spir-
tied contest for reappointment 1t is
said now by authority that he will not
be reappointed.
Whether DR.. Person will obtain the
appointment seems now to hinge on his
residence. 1t is stated that he does
not live within the delivery limits of
the Wilson Office. If this be true he
would not be eligible to appointment.
The Postmaster General is making an
investiga tion of that phase of the mat
ter.

The college is largely an industrial
and agricultural school. The farm
raises all the Vegeta bles used in the
boarding department of the college be-
sides supply for market. During some
years the sales from the farm have
amounted to $1,000. Besides a regular
class in agriculture a number of stu
dents are helped by extra work done
on the farm. OF the total number of
students who have attended the school
1852 were from Chatham county. OF
these the larger portion are from Sa-
vannah, though 176 came from the
country and have returned to the
farms. From the habit of industry
formed at the college and the inspira-
ton there given. several students have
gone out and purchased land and are
cultivating it, Three years ago an I'M
dergraduate student left the school and
went home. organized a company of
young men and jointly purchased a
tract of 1000 acres of land. Occasional
conferences are held among the stu
dents and in a recent investigation it
was found that fifty-six students now
attending the school from various coun-
ties in the state represent the owner
ship of 1851 acres of land already paid
for, and 2.2S7 acres more being pur-
chased. From these facts it would
seem that the agricultural idea is thor
oughly impressed by the school.

PRAISE FOR
REGIMENTAL BAND.

The military men have not yet ceased
talking about the First Regiment
Bands strength, appearance and ex-
cellent music on Washington's Birth
day. 1t assited no little in bringing
the regiment home after the long
march out and the firing work of the
sham battle. The band was thirty
strong, and all there with lung power,
and played better military music than
has ever been heard son the streets of
the city from a local band. Gov Ter
rell was not slow to notice it, and he
took time to stop and shake hands
with every man. Too much credit
cannot be given the organizers of the
band for their patriotism and public
spirit in maintaining it, as has been
done many months at a personal ex-
Dense. 1t is. the earnest wish of the
military of the city that the band be
given as much work as possible at
parades of other organizations, at en-
tertainment and dances There is
an A No. 1 orchestra attached to the
band.

ANSWERS THE EMPEROR.
Harnnck Replies to williams ReIi-
gious Views.

Harnnck Replies to Williams ReIi-
giOus Views.
Berlin, Feb. 25.-Dr. Harnack, the
foremost liberal theologian of Ger
many, discussing Emperor Williams
recent letter to Admiral Holman,
councillor of the German Oriental So
ciety, which was an outcome of the
Emperor's attending Prof Delitz-
sche's lecture on the Babylonian origin
of the Bible, says:
TT is a personal confession of the
Emperor's faith, and is in no way a.
command. Therefore, silence cannot
be observed"
While agreeing with the Emperor
that religion needs forms, DR.. Harnack
differs from his views in regard to the
revelation of the divinity of Christ.
and contends that Professionalism
recognizes the revelation in persons
alone. Revelation in things is no long
er admitted. The thinking mind can
not possibly content itself with two
kinds of revelation running parallel
with each other, as the Emperor as
sumes. Religious conception of history
must be uniform, and any judgment
confusing Christ with other masters
must be rejected. Yet, the correctness
of the formula, Divinity of Christ"
the Doctor maintains, must be dues-
TONED. Christ never used it, nor did
the primitive church without qualifi-
cations speaking always of divinity
and humanity. Divine humanity is
therefore the preferable formula.
Christ never concealed that he was
Lord and Savior, but he never revealed
the secret of his rela ton to His
Father.
Even the formula, Divine humanity
4 in Christ" is therefore open TO obisc-
ton as II encrOaChes upon a secret
which cannot be penetrated.
Dr. Harnack predicts that the time
is coming when all Protestant denomi-
nations and the Catholics also will join
IN a simple recognition Of Christ as
