Part.
Washington. February 5.-The dis
cuszion of the statehood bill in the
senate today turned on the question Of
rolygamy. A number Of cenatoTs who
heretofore have taken no part in the
debate, participated in the discussion.
lIr Gallinger, New Hampshire, reply
ing to some statements made by Mr..
ucCcmas, Maryland. said that he was
in favor Of an amendment to the state
hood bill covering the question of po-
Iggamy as strongly and firmly as pos
sibIe.
The influence Of the Mormon churcn
over politics cccasicned a sharp de-
bate. Mr. Hale characterized the de
bate as interesting, valua bic and
startling because it had disclosed a
powerful religious organization, "eX-
ertins itself as a dominant, potential
force" over the mind and action Of its
followers which should be taken into
account in future legislation.
Mr.. Kean, who had intended to con-
tinue his remarks begun yesterday in
opposition to the bill, yielded the floor

resumed the senate went into executive
session and adjourned a few minutes

The debate on the statehood bill
started in by McComas criticising the
pending bill rs being liberal. Mr.. Gal
Euger said he was willing that as
strong an amendment as could be
drawn prohibiting polygamy should be
inserted in the bill.
Halo criticised tho cvprrica n
power by the Mormon church. Mr..
Warren asserted that MormOns exer-
cised no control in mis- state.
Mr.. Dubois declared that no polyga-

ANTITRUST DEBATE.

large attendance in the galleries. The
rule under which the house was to op-
crate, however precipitated a lively
discussion.

Boston, Dec. G.-Wong Chung and
Charley Chin We're found guilty of
murder in the second degree in the kill
ing of Wong Yik Chong by a jury in
the superior criminal court, yesterday
afternoon.
Wong yik Chong was shot in China

gency hospital. Both prisoners were
arrested Immediately after the shoot
ing of Chong, one of them, Wong

from which four bullets had been dis
charged, and Charley Chin while flee
ing with an axe from the scene of the
shooting.
The Hep Sing Tong and the Ong Lion
Tong, Chinese societies. according 20
the testimony, have been bitterly op-
posed to each other for some time. The
dead man apparently belonged to the
Hep Sing Tong, and the claim of the
defense was that Wong Chong, one of
the prisoners, had refused to join the
Hep Sing Tong, and that an effort was
made to assassinate him on the night
of Oct. 2, and as result one of his
assailants. Wong Yik Chong, lost his
life. while another of his opponents was

LANGLEY's BIG AiRsHtP
VIII Be Given Another Trial, Probably
III This Week.

washington, Dec. c-The big 60-foot
aeredrorne of Prof. Samuel P. Langley,
secretary Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ttlon, winch was unSuccessfully.launch
several months ago, was prepared for
another experiment, Saturday, but un-
favorable wind conditions prevented
the test. The machine has been put in
perfect order, and is ready to be hoist
ed to the superstructure for another
trial at the first opportunity, possibly
Monday. No attempt will be made 10
hoist the machine into position unless
the wind is less than u miles an hour
in order to avoid danger to the men.
F. M. Manley, Prof. Langley's chief
assistant in the researches, was aboard
the houseboat all day with his mechan-
les, and Thomas w. Smile, official pho
tOgrapher of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, has his rapid-fire camera prepared
to make the official Photographic rec
| ords of the fight. Both Manley AM,
Prf. Langley say there has been no
change either in the motor, the launch
| ing mechanism or any other part of the
dying machine apparatus. Prof. Lang
| ley credited the trouble in the last eX-
pertinent to metallic projection on the
launching track, and explained that the
| obstacle had been removed. He said It
| was not likely the experiment would be
undertaken again at Whitewater where
| the wind conditions proved so unfavor-
able.
The experiment will be made, in all
probability, off the government arsenal
grounds in this city, at the confluence
of the Potomac river and it's easter IL
branch, which offers a broad sweep for
the test. The ordinance board of the
| army, which made an appropriation
out of it's funds for the expense of the
experiment, will be notified SO that its
representatives may be present as Of
fetal witnesses.

Newport, r. l., Dec. 6.-The plunge
into the icy sea by which Boatswain
Patrick Deery of the United States
States naval tug Peoria saved the sub
marine torpedo boat Adder, last
wednesday, was the fourth time that
thls daring seaman has swan with
lines to wrecks and drowning men. Ad-
vices received here, today, state that
after Deery had been hauled from the
surf, almost exhausted by his long
swim, hearty cheers We're given him by
the crews of the Peoria, the Moccasin
and the Adder. Capt. Clarence Eng
land, who was in charge Of the expe-
dition, led in the demonstration.
Some twenty years ago. Deery, who
was q seaman in the United States
merchant marine, passed a first-class
examination at the Brooklyn navy
yard. and in less than a year had been
advanced to the rank of u chief mas
ter-at-arms on the U. S. S. Kearsarge.
When the Kearsarge was wrecked on
Roncador Reef, West Indies. Deery vol
unteered to swim ashore with line at
tached to a hawser He was the means
of saving many lives. During the wreck
all the boats of the ship had bcen stove
in except two, Il steam launch and a sail
ing launch. Deery put out to sea with
small crew in the sailing launch in an at
tempt to obtain assistance.
He was gone two days when a steamer
was sighted, and the captain accompanied
peery and his crew back to the reef,
where the survivors were rescued For
this service Deery received a letter of
commentator from the secretary of the
navy
During the hurricane which wrecked the

DO NOT WEAR A LONG FACE.
II Is a Great Handicap in All Business
and Social Relations.

The man who looks as if he had lost
his last friend is in no danger of being
crushed by the jam of new ones unless
he CHEERS up" People are not going
out or their way nowadays to associate
with the man of mournful and melan-
choly appearance. They are afraid he
will tell them his troubles and they
steer clear of him as they all have
plenty of their own.
The most universal cause of the for
iorn and hopeless appearance today is
dyspepsia. 1t units a man for every
duty of life and causes him to become
respondent and gloomy and necessarily
mis- looks do not belle his feelings. He
appears cast down and detected and be-
comes a burden to himself and human
ity in general.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptics certain relief. They do the
work that his stomach is unable to do
and by relieving that organ of its
burdens, permit it to regain its health
and strength and again become active
and useful in it's functions. They con-
tain all the essential ingredients that
enter into THE digestive fluids and
secretons of the stomach and they
actually take up the work and do it just
as healthy. sound stomach would.
BY this means a man can go right
ahead with his work and eat enough to
keep him in proper working condition.
His system is not deprived Of it's nee
essary nourishment as it is in the case
of the starvation cure" or the employ

foods now on the market. Starvation,
even if it were @ good thing, could not
be continued long enough to effect a
cure: for a disordered and worn-out
stomach is not going to become strong
and healthy in two or three days
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act natur-
ally because they contain natural di-
geslives. The principal component
parts are aseptic pepsin, malt diastase
and other ingredients with like proper
ties that do the work regardless of the
condition of the stomach. There is no
unnatural or violent disturbance of the
digestive organs as the result of their
action. In fact, the existence of the
stomach is entirely forgotten as soon
as they have had time to begin their
operations. They also possess very
curative and healing properties and as
sist the stomach in getting well, while
relieving it of it's work They perform
the duties of both nurse and physician
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 80 cents box
