This view was accepted generally by senator's and was the view acted on. Some of the senators present afterwards commented on It as likely to form new departure and an important precedent in the senate
 European Interests.
 Other senators made reference to Eu- ropes interest in the canal and Sena- tor Foraker stated that an eminent en- gineering officer had assured him that no fewer than four great European powers were looking with jealous eyes on our movement on the isthmus and would be glad to displace us there. He said in this connection that no senator could sur pass him in conviction as to the neces- sity of ratifying the canal treaty, but at the same time he repeated his indispo- sition to have any other measure inter- fere with consideration of the statehood bill.
 After a further exchange of views, dur ing which some quite sharp remarks were made as to the desirability and the pos sibility of securing a vote on the state hood bill, the senators on both sides adopted a more conciiatory tone toward one another. The friends of the treaty consented not to press the motion as such and the statehood advocates yielded one by one, Senator Quay being the last to give in.
 Consequently when adjournment was reached the announcement was made that after the close of the routine business to- morrow, Senator Quay should move to go into executive session, and that none of the republicans should oppose the mo- tion, and that consideration of the treaty should continue until 1t was disposed of.

"Florodora" at the Jefferson.


 Clare Fitzclarence ........ Blanche Seibert Lady Holyrood. ....... ........Isadore Rush
 It may have been the keen frosty weather or it may have been the camel and the chariot race of last weeks thea trical craze, or IL may have been both combined that kept the house from filling up whel the best I'lorodora company that ever travelled the southern circuit came to the Jefferson last night. Whatever the cause, there was no demand for stand ing room.
 And yet the tuneful songs and jingles were never better rendered; never did larger chorus appear here in the play and never was 1t better staged in other re- spects. The little brown Americans in the first act were very frisky. thus prov ing that the climate of our islands of the Philippines Is not a bit enervating Florodora is one of those islands.
 The play last night had three stars or heroines and it is difficult to say which one of the trio was the best. Isadore Rush as Lady Holyrood developed the char acter fully. She sings well, is attractive, and her songs were warmly applauded especially Tact" She was recalled three times in Tact" Corinne as Dolores was admirable She is both clever singer and a clever actor Grace Hazard as Angela Gilfain was equally popular The three are the stars of the musical com edy. Of the men James Kiernan as Tweedlepunch and Charles Dox as Gill fain, kept the audience in excellent humor.
 l Mir. Bowers as Frank Abercoed sang Under the Palms." and he sang it with sympathy, but his voice lacks the clear ness that wins it's way to all hearts in | that song.
 ''Tell Me Pretty Maiden was rendered acceptably by the double sextette, for they were recalled four times. The com edy is full of melodic numbers, and near | ly every one of them was we'll received. The comedy Is now in it's third season, l and it wears well. It will be presented | this afternoon and again tonight, and it will be strange, indeed, if so many pretty scenes, charming costumes and catchy songs do not attract big audiences. It is certainly the best Florodora company that has ever appeared at the Jefferson.

LABOR UNIONS NOW
IN ACTIVE POLITICS
New and Significant Phase Develops in the State
Fight in Maryland-Applies to President.

The attitude of Maryland labor unions
in urging their members to vote for
Senator McComas reveals a new and
highly significant phase OF the demand
organized labor may make upon it's sup
porters as to political questions. The
disclosure is especially significant in
view of President Roosevelt's stand in
the Government Printing Office contro-
versy
Labor defined its attitude in resolu-
tions adopted at Nashville in 1897. Never
until now has this document become a
vital instrument. and what effect it will
have now remains TO be seen. The reso-
lutions. never before published, are as
follows:
Strongs Resolutions.
Resolved. That the American Fedora
tion of Labor most firmly and unequivo-
cally favors the independent use OF the
ballot by the trades unionists and work
ingmen, united regardless OF party, that
we NAV elect men from our own ranks
to make new laws and administer them
along the lines laid down in the legisla-
tive demands of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, and at the same time
secure an impartial Judiciary that will
not govern us by arbitrary injunctions
of the courts. nor act as the plant tools
of corporate wealth.
Resolved, That as our efforts are GEN.
tered against all forms Of industrial
slavery and economic wrong, we must
also direct our utmost energies to re-
move all forms OF political servitude and
party slavery. to the end that the work
ing people may act as a unit at the polls
at every election
Base of Power.
On this resolution the unionE Of Mary
land now base their power 10 distribute
circulars, bearing the Endorsement Of

to favor the election of McCOmas- The
circulars plainly set forth that the SEN
ator has proven his friendly feeling to-
ward workingmen by trying to obtain
the passage of an eight-hour workday
bill, and it calls upon organized labor
TO vote for his reelection.
Of Great Importance.
In view of the repeated assertions
from various sources that labor unions
could take no part in political cam
paigns, the Importance and significance
of this action is apparent. Moreover,
labor leaders here do not hesitate to say
the same course will be pursued on all
occasions
So far as the actual effect the labor
vote in Maryland may have. the atti-
tude of the worl1ingmen is not likely
to prove serious. The ranks are scarcely
large enough to command the State S
vote. and little fear is felt by the OPP
ponents OF McComas.
But through the United States labor
unions have membership of about
2.500, 900. representing so many votes In
accordance with the resolutions th'
American Federation of Labor, repre-
sentative of all trade unions, favors the
selection of a man for political Office
who will be friendly to their cause.
For Emergency Use.
This has been the attitude since the
resolutions were adopted, but an energ
ency seldom arises when the doctrine!
are followed. The document shows thai
labor unions are empowered to direct tn
vote of their members in time of need
Prominent labor leaders in Washing
ton do not hesitate 10 say the sami
course will be followed at the Presi.

organization, If there is need for sucf
