sisting of eight .warships, has arrived

ton to the proposed opening Of Yon-

Senator Tillman has prepared a reso-
luton directing the judiciary committee
to inquire as to the status Of nominations
that failed in the last session and were
renewed at the beginning of the present
session of Congress. The inquiry is for
the purpose Of developing the present
position of General Wood in the army

Spooner law, and warned Cuba that the
same course might be followed by US TO-
ward that country in case the pending
bill should become law. Senator
Morgan also made vigorous attack on
the recognition. of Panama and the
negotiation of treaty with the new
republic,

THE FIGHT continues in the Senate
over the demand Of the democrats that
there shall be q thorough investigation
of the ZOstal scandal The democrats,
led by Senator German, propose that
a Congressional committee shall make
the investigation and shall report to
Congress by next May, or just before
the national conventions. The repub-
licans will not permit this. They have
decided that the postal committee of each
House shall get the papers in the case
from the Postofice Department, and that
the committees shall decide whether a
Congressional inquiry is desirable. Sen
ator German asserts upon his response
bility as Senator that higher officials
than those who have been accused are
guilty of postal crimes, and charges the
republicans with trying to stife the in
vestigation. Senator Lodge and other
republican Senators as subtifuge de-
clare that a Congressional investigation
would be clumsy and not nearly so
effective as the investigation already
made under the direction of the Presi-
dent, and offer the further excuse that
If Congress should demand and make
public the papers in the case the defend
ants in pending cases would thus learn
all the secrets of the prosecution. During
The debate on Tuesday. Mr. Tillman
took occasion to remark that Gin view
of the aggressions from the other end Of
the Capitol and the other end of the
avenue, Senators were in danger of be-
coming 'me-toos " This was a pal
pable hit aud one not relished by his
republican colleagues.

Neu York Stock Market.

New York, Dec. lO.-The stock mar
ket was extremely active in the first
hour but trading was marked by irregu-

of the early reactionary tendency that
the bull factions were still in control OF
the larger part of the speculation. Sugar

the time for vote on Cuban reciprocity.
Amalgamated Copper received pool sup

THE CIGARETTE and war are blamed
for the physical degeneration OF the
American race by Rev. Dr. Scott +.
Hershey, Presbyterian, of Boston, who
spoke on Tuesday at the meeting OF the
Pennsylvania Branch of the Universal
Peace Union in Philadelphia. DIR.
Hershey, in speaking on "The Read
iustment of Our Social Order" gave ex-
preston to thoughts which, while not
altogether new, are worthy of serious con-
sideration. He said
There must be a complete readjustment
of our social order. don't think that
our civilization can go on for another
oeneuation as it has gone and still allow
MS to maintain our present social lnteg-
rity. There is no questioning the de-
cline of The social order in this country.
l gravely per eve that, with our re-
markable DEVELOPMENTS in commerce
and diplomacy, we are not maintaining
moral growth that is commensurate.
The vitality Of manhood and womanhood
cannet be impaired without vital injury
to the nation, and yet our American life
IS being contaminated and vitiated, In
the next generation one out OF every ten
of our American population will be Serl-
rusly affected mentally, morally or
physically, perhaps in all three direc-
lions, by the cigarette habit. | tell you
the future is not bright for our American
race if we look at things as they are.
The cigarette habit is going to have an
effect upon the national life OF our
people. Another matter affecting the
robust type Of American manhood Is that
the ablebodied citizen must go to war
aud the weak stay at home 20 propagate
the race. Hitherto our progress has
been largely made possible by the purity
and ROBUSTNESS of our blood, but this we
cannot possibly retain if We repeatedly
send our sons away to war.

Frenchman, for the murder of a widow
named Deceroit, began today. Last
May woman's body was found
submerged in amarsh near Saint Nazaire,

to sell bonds belonging to the widow.
The woman was known to have had

THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. TO- 1908.

THE CONFEDERATE veterans OF Dal-
las, Texas, got back at President Roose-
Welt at their recent meeting when, with
grim humor, they adopted, resolutions
setting forth that his recognition oil
Panama was vindication of their course
in the civil war. The resolutions, a
copy of which we're ordered to be sent to
President Roosevelt and the President
of Colombia, are as follows:
Resolved, first, That we tender to the
Daughters of the Confederacy, lately as
sembled at Houston, Texas, in State
convention, the congratulations Of this
Camp for their prompt and fellcitous
message to President Roosevelt in his
strenuous haste in the recognition OF
the Republic of Panama in its late
act of secession, as 8 vindication OF the
Soutb. which the President and his
party have heretofore denounced as
anarchy.
Second-That this action of the Presi-
dent is in acute contrast to his repeated
offensive utterances regarding the action
of the South for similar assertion OF the
right of local self-government in his late
tour over the Northwest, going out OF
his way. even as far as California, in de-
claring to Union veterans that but for
Them we would have had no government.
Third-We condole with Colombia IN
the loss of Panama, in the ditch that Is
not dug, and suggest a message to the
President of similar import-that but for
MIN Colombia would have had govern
ment in Panama.
Fourth Thanks are hereby rendered
TO our Senator, Hon. c. A. Culberson,
for bringing out of the archives IN
strange contrast the appeals of the LIN
coin government to foreign powers
against the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy as being against all pre-
cedent as to the policies of governments
in the Americas.
