QUAY STARTS
 4 F|LIBUSTER Asks That Copy of Colombian Constitution bG Read READING TOOK TWO HOURS Senators Inform Him That No Mattar What He Does It Will Not Force
 Acceptance of the State
 hood Bill.
READING TOOK TWO HOURS


 Washington, February 1s.-When the senate went into executive session today MT Quay took copy of the Colombian constitution, which he asked to have=read from quite a large pile of documents, which lay on his desk, and when he asked to have 1t read the republican senators sitting near him immediately reached the conclusion that he had united his forces with Senator Morgan and that the step was intended to force the acceptance of the statehood bill
 Without giving voice to such a supposi- ton Senator Aldrich objected to the reading of the document by the clerks. saying that evidently the proceeding was merely intended for the purpose of delay.
 Senator Quay replied that such was not his intention and that he would ask to have nothing read which would not throw light upon the subject under considera- ton. Senator Quay also said that so far as he was concerned there was no conclusion. It was then agreed to for the present and should it become evident that the reading was for delay "it should continue"

Don't Like ouay's Method.

The anti-sta tehood republican senators made no conceament of their surprise at MT. Quays proceeding and all of them who would express an opinion at all said that the move would not result in the passage of the statehood bill whatever might be its effect upon the treaty. They did not believe that it would prevent rat ification over the treaty Before Mir. Quay took the floor Senator Hoar made a brief speech In support of the treaty. saying that since the Spooner act had become a law the United States Is in honor bound to consummate the transaction provided for in that act.
 After the reading of the Colombian con stitutlon had been concluded, which re- quired about two hours time, Senator Depew asked if the transat ton was cor rect. Senator Mason replied that 1t was, which assurance MT. Depew said was thoroughly satisfactory. Senator Morgan then continued the speech he had begun yesterday. He discussed especially today what he characterized as a discrepancy last. authorizing the purchase of the Pan- anna Canal company's franchises and property, and the terms of the treaty He quoted from the act-the language of the second section, authorized by the Presi- dent. to acquire perpetual control of a strip of land six miles in width and charged that the two were utterly in- consistent.

An Animated Debate.


 The presentation of this point led to an animated debate in which seven or eight senators joined, Senators Rawlins, Bacon and Daniels being among the speakers on the democratic side of the chamber and Senators Hoar, Spooner and Depew among the republicans who spoke.
 In the main the democratic senators contended that the treaty does not coin eide with, or carry out the terms of the act, and that therefore another act or appropriation would be necessary before the treaty could be made effective The republicans pointed out that the lease provision in the treaty looked to the con- tinual renewal of the lease, which in eff feet they said would give the per petual control" provided for in the canal act.
 At 5:3O o'clock Mir Quay asked MT Mor- gan if he was willing to desist. Mir. Nor gan yielded and Mir Quay moved to ad- journ. The vote resulted 15 yeas to 36 noes.
 Senator Teller then moved to take re- cess This motion was also voted down. The result brought out a declaration from MT. Teller that nothing would be gained by harsh measures. Senator Cullom ac- cepted this view and himself moved a recess until s p. m. There was no oppo- SltlOn ana the senate ulSpeTSeu rev minutes before o'clock
 When they reconvened at o'clock there were comparatively few senators present and the presiding officer scarcely had called those present to order when the point of no quorum was made
 After 35 minutes a quorum was secured and Senator Morgan proceeded until Il O clock when, on motion of Senator Gull lom the senate took recess until O clock tomorrow. Senator Morgan de- voted his evening discourse largely to the relation of the Colombian government to the Catholic church. He quoted at length the concordat between the Pope and the President of the republic and asseI ted that the isthmian government is practi- cally dictated by the Catholic church. and especially by the Jesuit Order. This, he said, would be true in the canal zone as we'll as in other parts of the country, and he contended that if the treaty should be ratified the United States would find that 1t had entered into an undesirable and un- American alliance. He was not willing to suspend at Il o'clock and said he was quite prepared to continue.
 Just before the close of the session Senator Cullom sought unanimous con- sent to fix time for a vote next Satur- day but Senator Morgan objected. Sen ator Quay said that he would object un- less an agreement to vote on the state hood bill also could be obtained.

Just a Few Drops of Rain--Showers
 Likely To- -Day-Thirty- Five Days
 Without Rain.
 Tuesday, said the New Haven wealth
 CT bureau man, was the thirty-fourth successive rainless day in New Haven and this section of the country gener- ally-an uncommon stretch of time to
 go without even a shower. A few drops fell in this city at about o'clock yes- terday afternoon--the first in thirty five days-and at p. m. there was very light shower.
 The weather man hopes, as everybody does, for a good rain to-day, and says the indications point to showers to-day. He also said we would get a shower, in all probability, before daybreak this morning.
 | The black clouds that hung over the city yesterday afternoon at about 5 o'clock indicated that rain had fellen in nearby places. There was good little
 shower in Milford. There was light shower in Hamden, heaviest in High | wood, and few patters at Light house Point. There was lively shower in 1 Middletown. l The farmers all over the state are very anxious for rain. The fruit trees, grass and vegetables are suffering bad ! ly for need of it.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
IMPORTANT DECISION WHICH
 AFFECTS BRIDGE QUESTION.
Handed Down by United States su- preme COnrt-Ragscarpet Causes a Law suit-cases in the City Court.

The prospects of a new bridge over West river at Kimberly avenue in the near future are not particularly bright just at present. At present the two towns, Orange and New Haven, are at loggerheads over the matter.
 Both towns have acted upon the as- sumption that the order of the secretary of war declaring the stream navigable water and calling for a bridge which shall be fifteen feet above the water line was final. Now comes a recent de- cision of the supreme court of the Unit ed States in which it is ruled that the state has just as much jurisdiction over navisabIe waters within its boundaries as has the nation and that no obstrue- ton may be erected in such waters without the consent of the state even if the secretary of war has given pernlls- sion for the building of such obstruc ton. The decision referred to was handed down in an Oregon case, but the terms of the opinion are such that 1t applies to all states of the union. 2,
 The United States supreme court took it up and has decided the nation and the state have concurrent Jurisdiction and the assent of both must be obtain ed before Instructions may be built. The decision. it is said, will affect all other states besides Oregon. and do away with the heretofore popular im- ynrnsc;oy1 +bof fha ou1v ftiTr necessary to build piers or bridges or other ob- structions was to obtain the consent of the secretary of war.

How often SHAH We Feed ,

B Cows appear to give better results
when fed twice day than when fed
more frequently, says Dairy and

three or five times day they are up

Gently taught us that an animal is
using energy when standing that, if
lying, might go to some other use.
Ruminants have large stomachs. and
the more quickly the stomach is filled
and the animal lies down contented
and satisfied the better the returns
will be for the owner. It is well un-
derstocd that it will cost less and be
more convenient to feed the ration in

On the 10th day Of September while
working In the orchard we found the
nests net OF two cuckoos, or rain crows as
they are commonly known. One nest
contained two eggs about twice as
large as those Of robin and bright
blue In co@or. The other nest contained
q pair OF newly hatched young. From
what we had read and previously ob-
served we thought that these birds usu-
ally laid their eggs In the nests Of 9TH.
81 birds and rarely built nests OF their
twn. but here were two cases which
Upset that theory. The two nests were
built Of small sticks something like the
nest OF the mourning dove, only in
more substantial manner.
4 A novel and very interesting thing is
announced by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington. It is we'll known
that our legumes-clovers, alfalfa and
their kind-will not grow. and thrive in
ma many places simply owing to the alb
sence of the bacterial life in the soil
essential to their development. The
department has been engaged in the
Identification and propagation of these
bacteria and is now, we learn, ready to
furnish colonies of them to farmers,
with directions how to inoculate the
seed Of the clover or alfalfa before
sowing and thus secure a vigorous and
healthy growth of these most indis-
pensable soil renovators. If this is as
stated most valuable contribution to
the agricultural science Of the day has
been made.
