Washington. December 10.-Con-
.gressional callers at the White House
are manifesting increasing interest in
the case involving the seat of enato
|SmoOt, of Utah. and the indications
now are that the contest, which it is
asserted is certain to result from the
present agitation. will rival in irnpor-
|tance and in earnestness the case of
Brigham H. Roberts before the House
|of Representatives a few years ago.
While the President is familiar with
the developments thus far in the
ISmoot case, no effort is being made
by either side to draw him into the
controversy. the realization being gen.
eral that it involves a question which
the Senate must determine itself.
That a thorough Investigation Of
the subject Will be made by The Sen
late committee on privileges and cleo
lions now appears to be beyond doubt
By those who are pressing the investf-
lgatiOn, it is said it Will be more COM
lprehenSiVe and searching than any
similar inquiry ever has been. An eff
fort will be made to ascertain ac-
lcurately the attitude of the Mormon
ichurCh toward the government of the
limited States and to learn whether or
not a member of that organization is
bound by any pledge or oath. the
taking of which is Incompatible With
his oath as Senator of the United
States.
It is believed by some. at least. of
Those who are opposing Senator
ISmOot, that any effort mad to prove
Inc is a pOlygamist would result in
failure and while that point cannot
be said to have been abandoned absO-
lutely, it is quite certain the OppOsi-
Ition Will ~Oncentra its ~endeavOrS to
lprOVe that the position he holds in
1.-THE Mormon church is incriminable
with the Dat of allegiance he has
taken to the United States. That
proOf must be ample, in the opinion
of Senators, before he can be unseat-
led.
AS to the ability of the opposition
Ito Senator SmOOt to establish such a
proposition, there is a wide diverence
lOf opinion among Senators, but
there is a pretty general agreement
that if it should be established its re-
suit would be the ~unseating of the
utah Senator.

Washington, December 10.-Cable-
grams received today by General Ra-
faol Reyes, the Colombian minister and
by DR.. Herran, the Colombian secretary
of legation are pacific in tenor and the
officials of the Colombian legation are
inclined to believe that the Colombian
people are obeying the final instruc-
tons Of General Reyes, their
der-in-chief, who before leaving his
country issued an order that no hostile
move was to be made against the Unit
ed States or Panama, pending the CON-
pletion of his mission.
General Reyes has cabled the Bogota
government setting forth very explicit
ly the true situation here. He has not
attempted in his advices to cloak the
fact that there is no hope Of prevailing
on the United States to retrace its steps
on the isthmus. The only possible re
suit General Reyes could bring abolt
here as he has officially Informed the
BOgOta government, would be the sc
curing Of satisfactory peace terms with
the new republic.
