A Republican Answers.

Mr.. Lodge put the blame on the Mary
land Senator for any lack OF information
officially, saying the latter's amend
ments TO the original Penrose resolution
had prevented the Information from get
ting to the Senate before this time. FEe
said he had no objection u the resolu-
tion but thought it might SO over for
the present.
Mr.. Culberson Of Texas tried TO put in
a plea for Mr. Gorman's contention. on
the ground that the information asked
for was only TO obtain what was con-
tanned in the printed document now be-
fore the House committee.
Mr.. Lodge seized the opportunity to
suggest that Mr.. German change his re-
qrest so as to ask a reprint Of the
House document.
This did not suit Mr.. German. who
said II was not a House document, but
only Information sent to committee.
and added the proper way would be to
have the Postmaster General send thu
Information direct TO the Senate.

 c. A. course for the season of 1902-OS will be given tomorrow evening in Foy auditorium. The programme includes
 Leland T. Powers, the impersonator, and the New Haven Orchestral club. MT. Powers will give David Copper field,'' inpersonating twelve characters from the dramatization of Dickens great story. MT. Powers is doubtless more widely known in this programme than in any other except David Gar rick
 With each new impersonation from literature which MT. Powers has pre- sented he has established himself more firmly than ever in the hearts of the
 American public and has justified anew the verdict which has placed him alone
 and unapproached at the head of his
 profession. The power to touch the
 heart, to sketch directly upon the can
 vas of the imagination. to efface him. self and leave before the eyes and thoughts of his auditors only the living
 characters of the play or story he de-
 picts are the characteristics of MT.
 Powers consummate art.
