AT the beginning of the session of the
Senate, Hoar offered a resolution in
structinG the committee on printing to
have the Congressional Record printed
in better type than at present and
briefly addressed the Senate on the
subject, saying that it was very diff
cult to reed it as now printed. The
reading of the resolution brought out
the fact that other senators find it
difficult to read the record.
Gallinger thought that to increase
the size of the type would be to in
crease the number of volumes, which
would, lie said, be an objection. Bacon
was Of the opinion that the price of the
publication to the public should be re-
duced.
Newlands suggested that there could
be Improvement in the printing OF most
government publications.
The resolution was agreed to.
Daniel was recognized to speak upon
Mr.. Hoar's resolution requesting the
President to send to the Senate all the
information bearing upon the Pana-
ma. He said that the Panama treaty
had been discussed by the President in
iilo uiSSSdSe, dlNplv III SOilc respects
but in other respects very sparcely.
Cullom called attention to the fact
that the treaty had not been acted
upon by the committee on foreign rela-
lions and intimating that it was not
in order to discuss it.
Daniel retorted by saying that there
is 50 much nervousness over any inquiry,
on the part of the Republican senator's,
as to cause them to jump before they
have been spurred."
He reiterated his statement to Secretary
LOOMS New York speech as we'll as to
the rebates in the Senate and declared
that never before had there been such a
thorough defiance and contempt of the
law of secrecy which prevails i'll dipIo-
matte affairs as has been DISPLAYED in
this matter"
Daniel also referred to Minister Bunau-
Vanilla and said of his that while it is
true that all men play many parts in the
played more parts in shorter time than
any other actor who had challenged favor
from back of the footlights.'
Taking the resolution. he said that he
did not want to see the United States in
volved in war either with France or with
Colombia, and he was inclined to accept
with grain of salt the sensational head
line printed in the newspapers. yesterday
over the speeches of Aacting Secretary
Loomis and Minister Bunau- Varilla. Some

Tammany were about to take possession
of the country and they are shaking their
red lights from many points"
He conterded that the Independence of
Panama had not been we'll established as
has been stated. and in this connection
called attention to the fact that the
country has no constitutions.
Daniel said he knew of no requirement
in intcrna tional law for the recognition
of Il new government before it was
formed.

ship of the United States to the new
republic of Panama seemed to be the
leading theme in the Senate, but the
discussion was confined to one senator
and was not so exciting as yesterday.
Daniel of Virginia was the speaker,
and he advocated the acceptance of
Hoar's resolution calling on the Presi-
dent for more information relative to
he November revolution in Panama.
He said that SO far as the available
information shows, the executive au-
thorities of the United States had
knowledge of the revolution in ad-
vance of the people of the isthmus
and he contended that the action of
this country in preventing the landing
of Colombian troops III Panama was
without precedent.
Fulton made q speech in support of
the bill to give aid to the proposed
Lewis and Clarke Exposition at Port
land, Oregon, in 1905.
The Senate III executive session raj til
fed the treaty for the extension of
the commercial relations" between the
United States and China and then re-
moved the injunction Of secrecy. No
opposition was manifested by any SEN
ator to the treaty, though Mr.. Nelson,
Rep, Mimi, made a long speech in
which he criticised the convention as
making insufficient provision for the
trade of the United States. He said it
indicated that the hand Of Russia had
been shown against this country, maxi
ing it impossible for the. United States
to receive the concession needed in the
way Of open ports. He warned the
Senate that we may vet have trouble
with Prussia over the Manchurian ques-
ton.

The management of the State Fair

by any means. A review of the pre-

be true and in fact a great many pre-
miums have been added to last years
list in the ladies' departments. The
Colorado women have displayed such
an interest in the fair ever since its
inception and the exhibits made by
them have been such.afeature of the
fair that this year the management
has endeavored to give further encour-
agement and a wider field for their
handiwork. The department of nee
die and fancy work has been carefully
revised and enlarged as has also the

JEWELLERS IN CAVES
THEY ARE YET FOUND IN FRANCE

Cave City Near Tours-Doors and
Windows in the Face of Cliff
Habitations Reached by Narrow
Stairways.
We have often heard of the cliff
dwellers and are accustomed to think
of them as a prehistoric race, the re-
mains of whose few scattered dwell
tngs are a matter of curiosity to tour
lists and prize to antiquarians. Few
people know that at the present day
there are whole communities in France
whose only habitations are followed in
the rocky hillside and whose entire
business life is carried on in caves.
We had seen in Normandy isolated
instances of people living in habita-
tions half house and half cave.l But
they were in far-away towns and viii
lagos, and only the very poorest class
OF people lived in them. Our first real
cave city came as a great surprise, for
we had Just left Tours, one of the most
highly civilized cities in France. We
were riding along the road to Vouvray
when suddenly. at turn near Roche

burst upon us.
High above us lowered huge mass
of overhanging rock. strata upon stra-
ia. bearing upon its summit most
peculiar tower. supposed TO have been
a watch tower in ages gone by. Its
foundations hung over the rock upon
which they were built and it seemed
as though 1t would crash down at any
moment upon the village beneath.

doors and windows, narrow stairways
and little belvideres could be seen. hab-
itation upon habitation, in most pic

high road hid the immediate fore
ground, and we looked in vain for an
opening by which We could have n
nearer view of this strange communi-
ty. At last we found an open gate. and
peeping through, we were greeted by a
iear little cid woman. whose %riGkiea.
smiling face was surmounted By a
