REPUBLICAN LEADERS AROUSED.
Democrats in House Threaten an Elk
ira Session,

Republican leaders in the House will deal
with the democratic filibuster with a strong
hand. They declare that the House shall
sit continuously until Butler is unseated
and Wagner Is seated.
The republicans sent for absent MEM
bers. and when these arrive, and it Is ex-
pected to get a republican quorum before
the day is over, there win be enough re-
publicans to do business, and this business
will be done regardless of democratic pro-
test or demand for roll calls.
Purpose Of the Democratic.
What the democrats hope to gain by the
filibuster was indicated to a Star reporter
this afternoon In the following language:
1--WE are willing even to force an extra
session of Congress. if necessary, to i'm
press On the country the unfair tactics of
the republicans in unseating duly elected
democrat without even hearing Not one
of the republican members of the commit
tee on elections except Chairman Olmsted
has read the testimony on the Butler side
Of the case.
by the democratic resolution to delay
proceedings many Of the private bills in
which republican members are interested
will be killed for lack of time, and this will
serve to call general attention to the cause {"
Representative Payne, the republican floor
leader, declared late this afternoon that
the House should stay in continuous ses-
sion until the Wagoner-Butler case Is dis
posed of.

the Commissioners continue, more time
has been given to their consideration than
can be given In this case: the subject has
been discussed by citizens Interested. and
the whole matter thoroughly considered.
On account OF lack Of time no such consider
alton has been given to this proposed road.
The abolition of grade crossings at the ex-
pense OF the. railroad. in cases where this
proposed line crosses public roads, such as
the Anacostia and Bladensburg roads. is
not sufficiently provided for, and there is no
provision permitting the railroads to pass
through the reform school grounds. AL
though the bill provides that all routes,
plans. structures. locations aad crossings
shall be approved by the Commissioners.
they would prefer that these should be
definitely determined and the plans submit
ted before expressing an opinion on their
practfcability or desirability."

friendly feeling was manifested today be-
tween the democrats and the regular re-
publicans on the senatorial issue. Repre-
sentative Finn. the leader of the regulars in
the house, is preparing proposition which
will be submitted to the democrats by the
anti-Add!cks republicans. probably late
this afternoon 1t provides that the regulars
will join with the democrats and vote with
the democrats in favor Of State Senator

fifth senatorial district of Sussex county.
retaining his seat, II they (the democrats)
will elect a regular republican to the long
term senatorship. and leave the short term
vacant.
The selection of the regulars for this SEN
atorship would be Representative L. Heis-
Ter Ball. The democrats were to have held
caucus this morning for the purpose of
selecting new nominees for the senator
ships in a complimentary sense, but their
meeting was deferred until later in the day,
pending the receipt Of the regulars propo-
sition.
. A member Of the democratic steering
committee stated this afternoon that he
was opposed to the acceptance Of such
plan, and that he believed there were suf-
ficient Of his colleagues of the same frame
Of mind to control the caucus and formally
reject the proposal. The democrats, as has
previously been stated, stand by their orig
ton OF the voters assistant" law and the
election of regular republican to the long
term and democrat to the short term by
means Of the coalition.
The thirty-second ballot for United States
senators resulted as follows:
Long term-Addicks, 20; Dupont, 8; Hig-
gins, 2; Salisbury 90
Short term-Addicks, IS: Higgins, s. Rich
ardson, 2; Hilles, 2; Kenney (dem.). 20. No
election.
Representative Rose (dem.), who intro
duced the voters assistant repeater in the
house. stated after the joint session today
that he was not decided whether to call up
the bill for a consideration late this after
noon or tomorrow. He will not take a
step until ''he knows his ground" but he
Will proceed promptly in this direction If
either Aspril or Derrickson, the regular re-
publicans who voted against the repeal
measure, assure him that they will now sup
port the bill. The bill only needs one addi-
tionai vote to have 1t adopted by the house
1nasmuch as the regulars In their PROPOSE
tion to the democrats will say that they
will aid them In passing the repeal bill on
the conditions above enumerated, It Is IN
understood that either Aspril or Derrickson
or perhaps both of them. have notified
Representative Finn that they will change
their votes to the affirmative. It is prob
able, therefore, that early developments
will appear on the surface and that nego-
tiations OF q formal character will be con-
Quoted between the x-antf-Addicks forces

HAVING A PLURAL WIFE.
Affidavit Of Rev. J. L. Leilich Present.
ed to the Senate, by Senator
Burrows.

Senator Burrows, chairman of the Senate
committee on privileges and elections. to-
day presented to the Senate protest
signed by Rev. ]. L. Leilich, In the case OF
Senator-elect Reed Smoot of Utah. urging
that Mr.. Smoot shall not be permitted to
take his seat in the Senate. Mr.. Leilich Is
in charge Of Methodist missions in Utah
and resides in Salt Lake City. He is in
Washington as the representative Of the
Ministers, Association Of Salt Lake. His
statement Is sworn to.
Mr.. Leilich declares that .Smoot is q
polygamist and now has plural wife. al
though he deems it inexpedient to give the
maiden name of the lady at this time. His
charge on this point is as follows: THAT
the said Reed Smoot is a polygamist, and
that since the admission of Utah into the
Union of states he, although then and
there having a legal wife. married plural
wife in the state Of Utah, in violation Of
the laws and compacts hereinbefore de-
scribed and since such plural or polyga-
nous marriage the said Reed Smoot has
lived and cohabited with both his legal
wife and his plural wife In the state or
Utah and elsewhere, as occasion offered;
and that the only record Of such plural
marriage is the secret record made and
kept by the authorities of the Church of
Jesus CnTlSC OF Latter LAY odlntS, WINCH
secret record Is in the exclusive custody
and control of the first presidency and the
quorum Of the twelve apostles Of the said
church, of which the said Reed Smoot Is
one. and Is beyond the control or power
Of the protestants.
Your protestant respectfully asks that
the Senate Of the United States, or its ap-
propriate committee, compel the first presi-
dency and the quorum of the twelve
apostles and the said Reed Smoot to pro-
dJ1n np6 fnr fhn fICVo-
ton of the Senate. Your protestant says
that he is advised by counsel that it is
inexpedient at this time to give further
particulars concerning such plural mar
rage and it's results, or the place in which
it was solemnized. or the maiden name of
the plural wife"
Mr.. Leilich also asserts that president:
Joseph F. Smith, the president of the Nor
mon Church, Is living in open polygamy
and has had a child born to him by his
plural wife as late as 1885,
And also that president Lorenzo Snow
lived and died In the practice Of polygamy
and polygameus cohabitation, and that his
plural wife, Minnie Jensen Snow, bore
him child as late as the winter of 1861"

THE LENTEN SEASON. j,
Events in the Calendars Of the
Churches. r'a

The Lenten season is begun and all per-
sons who are strict observers OF the GUS
tom will retire from the world, abstain
from amusements and deny themselves the
usual pleasures until Easter.
The observance of Lent, according to ira
dition, began before there were any diH-
sions of Christianity, and with the PRINT
tive church, In the first four centuries,
therefore the custom is not in any way the
property Of the Roman Catholic Church or
the Episcopal Church, or any other church
The Christian experience of centuries, 1t is
claimed, has proved that 1t Is helpful to
Christian life.
There is a law Of continuity in this kind
of experience. as we'll as In all other things.
The Sundays Of Lent are always regarded
as feast days In the midst of fast days be-
cause it is the day that Christ rose from the
dead, and the Holy Ghost descended at
Pentecost, and can never be fast day.
The 18th of March Is the festival of the
Annunciation, and this is always a memo
rable day. The last week of Lent is called
Holy Week, as 1t commentaries the Passion
Of Christ. Over q third of the whole gospel
story is taken up with narrating the events
Of this last week Of Christs life. and there
fore those who observe Lent strive to keep
in remembrance the occurrences Of each
day. ss
The ideas of the Episcopal and Catholic
churches relative to Lent are almost iden-
teal, and the services are. in a measure,
similar. In both churches the Lenten sea-
son begins with Ash Wednesday, which this
year fell yesterday. and continues until
Easter. During the forty days period spe-
cial services will be held in the churches of
both denominations and various days will
be Observed.
In the Episcopal Church the bishop Of the
diocese holds most frequent visitations for
confirmation. and accordingly confirmation
services will be held In nearly every Epis-
copal church In Washington during this
period. In all churches special sermons
are delivered on Sundays and courses Of
lectures generally}on Wednesdays and FRI
days.

given him by the democratic caucus he de-
sired that the Littlefield antitrust bill be
taken up. The chair held that the only way
in which this could be done would be by
vote of the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar desired to offer a conference re-
port on the bill for the protection. of the
Presidents and there followed discussion OF
the question of precedence. The chair de-
cided that Mr.. Hoar's motion took prece-
dence over the motion for an executive ses-
sion Mr. Hoar said he did not desire to
press the conference report and withdrew
It. The Senate then. at 1:40 Pm, went into
executive session.

When the Senate went into executive ses-
sion the Panama canal treaty was imme-
diately taken up, and Senator Morgan re-
sumed his speech in opposition to that
agreement.
