SHORT open SESSION
Senate In Executive Session all
Day Except for 80 Minutes.
PANAMA CANAL TREATY DEBATED.
The House Passed the Naval Appropriat
Bill After q Protfacted eession-A
Great Many Amendments Of
farod to the Bin.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The senate
met at II o'clock yesterday, but spent
only an hour and 20 minutes in open
session. This time was devoted to
routine business and passing bills Of
no great general Importance. Sena-
tor Bailey, by q vote Of the senate,
secured consideration of the Sabine
pass port bill, which has been the
subject of considerable controversy,
but vote on the measure was not
reached.
Senator Quarles introduced an
amendment to the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill providing for the es-
Establishment Of military camp sites
at Camp Douglass, Wis, Fort Sam
Houston, Tex, and San Luis Obispo,
Cal. The measure has the approval
of the senate committee on military
affairs. .....
The senate committee on commerce
authorized favorable report ON the
bill providing for the punishment Of
offenses committed at sea. The meas
ure applies especially to passengers.
The existing law has application only
to offenses committed by sailors.
Senator Morgan, in the executive
session, continued the speech he had
begun Wednesday on the Panama ca
nal treaty. He discussed especially
what he characterized as q dis
crepancy between the terms Of the
act of June 2s last authorizing the
purchase Of the Panama Canal COM
pany'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 presi-
dent to acquire perpetual control Of
strip of land six miles in width
and charged that the two were utter
ly inconsistent. The presentation Of
this point led to an animated debate
in which seven or eight senators par
ticipated. Senator's Rawlins, Bacon
and Daniels were among the demo-
cratic speakers and Senators Hoar,
Spooner and Depew being among the
republicans.
At the end Of protracted session
the house yesterday passed the naval
appropriation bill. A great many
amendments were offered to the pro-
visions relating to the increase of the
personnel and the authorization OF
new ships to be built. The most inn
portant amendment adopted was one
to authorize the secretary Of the
navy, in his discretion, to purchase
or contract for submarine torpedo
boats, after investigation Of their
merits, and appropriated 5000 for
that purpose. The amendment was
in the language of bill introduced
by Mr.. Hill, Of Connecticut, and it
was stated ON the floor that 1t had
the support Of all the members OF
the naval committee. It was adopted
practically without debate. As
passed the bill provides for three
new battleships and an armored
cruiser, two steel training ships and
one wooden brig for training pur-
poses, in addition to the submarine
boats discretionary authorized. The
increase in the personnel of the navy
went through as reported by the

GIRLS START NEW FAD.
Fashion of Going without Hats
and FreckIed Faces Result.

Viewpoints social fads are sometimes
accidental, but more often the result of
a studied design. The chief movers in
former cases are three young girls
Miss Natica Rives, daughter of Mrs.
George L. Riyes; Miss Cynthia Roche,
daughter Of Mrs. Burke Roche, and
Miss Natalie Schenck. This trinity
never adopts the fads introduced by

strict originality, and when President

the letter o. For instance, the Eng.
lish pronunciation of the wo-d post
is 'poust.' That is the way it is pro-
nounced in England. We pronounce
it post The accent on the vowel

school marns' of our land, who for
the last 100 years have been telling
John when he came to the word

out.
There are other great reforms in

correct, but they are all oversbad-

BOLD NEGRO PROJECT
Proposed to Effect Conquest of Hay
ii and Establish Government.
william Pickens, YaIe's Brilliant Me-
gro Orator. Asked TO Become the
Head OF the New Movement
"details of the scheme.

William Pickens the negro who won
the junior exhibition prize at Yale, has
been asked to become the head of a
new o-American republic to be es-
tablshed in Hayti, says New York
World dispatch from New Haven, Conn
In his ration, which won the prize,
Pickens discussed Hayti's freedom
and declared against it.
The scheme is to effect conquest
of the island Of Hayti by American ne
groes and set up a government Tito
plan in character. The junta of the
movement is at Sturgis, Ky. and the
correspondent of the society is n. l.,
Musgrove. He asks that Mr. Pickens
act as secretary and board member in
this section and says that the Yale
man would eventually be chosen as
president of the society. 1t is also sug-
gested that he take the lecture plat
form and raise funds for the organiza-
ton.
Mr. Pickens when seen said that he
had the matter under consideration
and would seek advice before enlist
ing his services in the movement. In
discussing the plan he said:
innovations and novelties in the
methods of government are proposed
after Hayti has been overcome. While
the government would be republican
in its political formation it would be
administered as a gigantic corpora
ton, of which all members of the So
ciety would be stockholders. All land
titles and franchises are to be vested
in the state. All dangerous and incor-
rigible criminals will be provisioned
and set adrift on the sea to seek other
shores.
"Agriculture, manufacturing and all
other profitable industries Gre to be
encouraged.

and liberty is to be widespread, but the

REVIEWS ATTACK ON BIBLE.
German Professor of AssyrioIORy De
clnres That Book IL Nat of
Divine Origin.

Prof. Delitzsch, the Assyriologist, lee
tured on Babylon and the Bible before
the emperor and empress of Germany
and number of prominent personages
at Berlin recently. He continued the
criticisms with which year ago he
stirred reigionists in an attempt to show
that Old Testament writer's were great
giouG conceptions.
Ii the course of the lecture he said
that It would go hard with the Old Testa-
ment if its defenders placed any value
on the confirmation Of Biblical narra-
tives which claimed to be derived from
Assyrian discoveries, and he instanced
various errors into which, he said, or
thodox interpreters fall. The story OF
Nebuchadnezzar was an ancient Chal-
dean myth which the writer of the book
Of Daniel clearly misunderstood.
Prof. Delitzsch declared that there
could not be a greater error than to re-
gard the Bible as a personal revelation
Of God. 1t was merely composed Of
remnants of Jewish literature. He re-
iected as unworthy of notice the SUPPOSE
ton that Moses was the author of the so
called Mosaic laws These all existed
IN Babylon LONG before the time Of
Moses Even the decaloRue was Of Psbv-
7onian ORIGIN, and the Babvlonian code
In many points was ethically superior
TO the Mosaic
