Senate Proceedings.
The senate yesterday passed the
bill to ratify and confirm the agree
ment with the Rosebud Indians of
South Dakota for the cession of GER
tain lands and passed the naval and
military academy appropriation bills.
Senior Blackburn secured a vote on
his motion to take up the Littlefield an
thrust bill, the motion being lost,
% to So. The senate from LAS to
Sis was in executive session. When
the doors were opened a number of
bills were passed without objection.
The immigration bill was considered
and a number of amendments made.
but the bill failed on the vote by OBJ
lection from the New England sena--
tor, who feared it will exclude French
Canadian labor.
determined effort on the part of
Senator Cullom to obtain Senator
Morgan's consent TO fix the time for
voting on the Panama treaty was
made in the executive session and
was met by just as determined oppo-
sition on the part of the Alabama SEN
ator. Senator Cullom said the United
States had been trying for so years to
get canal across the isthmus and he
appealed to Senator Morgan not to
stand in the way of the contamination
of this aspiration. He first asked for
vote today, then Monday and lastly
Tuesday, but each request was re-
fused Senator Cullom expressed the
opinion that Senator Morgan was
making a great mistake; while he
may be called the father of the canal it
would seem by his present opposition
he was strangling his own efforts.
Senator Morgan in reply declared
his interest in the canal was as great
as ever; so great that he felt that he
owed it to himself and the country to
exert himself to the utmost to pre-
vert ratification of treaty which he
| felt to be so full of defects as the
| pending agreement.
! Most of the senators believe the re-
| fusal to fix a time for a cote means
that the treaty cannot be ratified be-
fore the close of the present session.

Buffalo, Feb. 2S.-Edwin l.. Burdick,
president OF the E. l.. Burdick and
company and of the Buffalo Envelop
company was murdered yesterday at
his home. The theory at first ad-
Vanced that the crime was the work
OF burglar was abandoned last night
While the police claim to have several
important clews, no arrests have been
made. The body was found by SER
wants in the smoking room this morn
ing on the couch covered with rug
and number of pillows. The couch
was saturated with blood and the
walls and floor despatched with brains
crushed with some blunt instrument
and two fingers broken, probably while
attempting to ward off the blow. Ac-
cording to the police the fact that
nothing of value was missing, and that
the doors and windows were locked,
disposes of the theory of robbery as
well as that the murder was done by
an unknown intruder. No weapon
was found anywhere. The police
theory is that Burdick answered a
call at the door, and admitted some
one well known to himself, and took
the visitor to the smoking room for a
talk. The force of the blows that
killed Burdick, the police say, were
such as seems to preclude the posi-
bility that woman delivered them.
Mrs. Burdick, the murdered mans
wife, left home two months ago with
the intention of not returning. Last
December proceedings for a divorce
were filed by Burdick. What connec-
tion Burdick's domestic trouble may
have had with the crime the police do
not presume to say.

Reeds BRIGHT Office Boy.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed was
fond of telling the following story re-
garding the bright little Office boy

random conversation.
"And how much do you earn a week,
my boy?" he inquired.
FIFTY dollars" said the youngster
with avidity.
Being shown into the speakers pri-
vate Office just men. the visitors sur
prise found vent in words.
Mighty bright boy you have there,
Mr.. Reed, to be getting $50 a week."
he remarked
Fifty dollars" said Mr.. Reed; che
gets $3.50"
But he told me just now you were
giving him $50 week." persisted the
gentleman.
Nonsense" said Mr.. Reed, and
touched the bell. Billy" he said,
"did you tell this gentleman | was pay

ANCIENT HOMES ABOVE CLOUDS
Where the TIascaIans Resisted Spar
ish Invasion of Mexico.

Although the Tlascalans were
enemies of the Aztecs, they fought
the Spaniards in four battles, under
the famous Xciontecatl. Driven from
the valley of Mexico by the strenuous
Aztecs, the Tlascalans settled In Toll
lantzingo and Cholula, ana later for
tilted themselves among the moug-
tains OF Puebla, creating their eagle
homes above the clouds. TO the
north and south were the protecting
mountains, to the west they dug a
great trench, and to the east built a
high wall six miles In length, and
within this rock eyrie upheld Their
splendid little republic until the ar
rival of the Spaniards, the only peo-
pie to conquer them, but to no avail.
The supreme power of the democracy
was vested in a senate of four chosen
by the Tlascalan republic. In the
church of the sanctuary at Tlascala,
which was built after the 'paciflce-
ton" of the Aztec empire, in 1920, is

PROCEEDINGS ALL DAY,
NEW DRASTIC RULES MADE
Efforts on the Part of Repuh leans to
Prevent Them from Blocking Leg

dcations That Only Appropriation
Bills Will Go Through.

Washington, Feb. 28-The demo-
Gratis CT the house yesterday carried
out their threat, made Thursday, that
if Mr.. Butler were unseated they
would do every thing in their power to
block legislation from now until con-
gress expires March 4. The result
was another stormy session, pro-
longed from II until almost o'clock.
Roll call succeeded roll call ard at
every pause party passion manifested
itself in bitter and acrimonious de-
nunciation. Two special rules were
brought in to expedite the appropria-
ton bill and continue the legislative
day of Thursday in order to reduce as
much as possible the minoTity's POWER
to obstruct legislation. During the
debate on the rule the demo crats
voiced their condemn alton of what
they dominated Thursdays outrage
GUS action of the chair. The Iepub-
licans declared they were willing to re-
sumo responsibility for what they had
done and explained the necessity of
the drastic rules presented yesterday,
Mr.. Dalzell saying unless this course
were pursued democrats could con-
sumo 1877 hours or q legislative days,
ON roll calls on the senate amend

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Madison, Feb. 24.-The senate COM
mittee on assessment and collection
of taxes introduced bill prepared by
the tax commission to exempt all
credits from taxation. 1t was refer
red back to the committee for consid-
Grafton. 1t also recommended the in
heritance tax bill for passage. In the
lower house the most important feat
ure was the action of the judiciary
committee in. adversely reporting Mr..
Benson's bill annuling the law requir-
ing candidates to file bills of ex-
penses. The bill making suicide as
the result of insanity no defense in
life insurance suits came back from
the judiciary committee with an
amendment providing that if the SUI
eide occurs within a year after the is
suance of the policy then the defense
should be valid. This evoked COM
ment from Mr.. Gilman who opposed
the amendment. If the original bill
is just, said he, the amendment is
wrong, for an insane man cannot
rightfully be held to accountability
for his actions no matter when they
occur. The bill went over.
