ALASKAN BOUNDARY
TREATY DISCUSSED
Morgan Opposes Measure on Panama
CanaI-In the National House
and Senate Today.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-The committee
on foreign relations today authorized fav-
orable reports OH the Alaskan boundary
treaty and the protocol for the extension
of time for the ratification of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, but failed for lack of
time to reach decision upon the Panama
canal treaty.
There was considerable discussion of
the Alaskan treaty, but the agreement
to make favorable report was unan-
imous. The Panama treaty was opposed
by Senator Morgan, who offered num-
ber of amendments and presented an argu-
ment in opposition to the treaty as it
now stands.
The committee on organization of the
executive departments of which Senator
Quay is chairman has ordered favorable
report to the statehood bill offered by the
senator as an amendment to appropriation
bills. The committee was not formally
called together, but Senator Quay saw the
members on the floor of the senate and
secured their consent to the favorable
report of the biil as rider to the supply
measures. All the committee, who are in
the city, gave their assent except Senator
Beveridge, who, as the leader OF the oppo-
sition to the bill, of course, objected.
Senator Wetmore, who is member of
the committee, is opposed to the bill, but
he is absent from the city and could not
be consulted.
In the absence of Speaker Henderson
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania presided in
the house today.
On motion of Mr.. Gillett of Massa-
chusetts the report of the memorial of the
National Red Cross society sent to con-
gress yesterday was ordered printed as an
executive document.
Under the order made yesterday the
house then proceeded to the consideration
of private claim bills. .

missioner holds that this power may not
be delegated by the governor or secretary
OF state TO the register OF the state land
office or any other person.
This ruling affects title to lands in every
county OF the state and II the register OF
state lands may not deed lands. 1t would
doubtless be held to follow that he may
not lease state lands In the event tina, the
commissioners ruling should be sustained
all deeds and leases OF state lands are void.
Affects Titles to Land.
Thus it is seen that the ruling affects
title To lands in every county in the state
and in the event that the commissioner
is upheld all deeds and leases OF state
lands will be void
The ruling OF the commissioner was
made in case involving about 200
acres of land claimed by the state, lying
in Teton county. and it deprives the
state OF any color OF title to the lands,
for the leasing OF nearly all of which
the state has made arrangements. When
the state made its selections Of lands
under the several grants from the United
States, it chose large area in Flathead
county. Before the state secured title
TO the grants a large proportion OF the
selections in Fatlhead county was placed,

and usually a number OF democrats ran
against each other i,deDcndently In this
canvass Captain Johnson was opposed by
man named Graham, who had recently
come iron Pennsylvania. Graham was a
schoolmaster and man Of unusual leara-
ing for those times. lie was also a ready,
and forciblc talker, and entered the race
against Captain Johnson, whose education
did not extend much bey ond ability to
write his name, with confidence OF an easy
victory.
"The campaign was scarcely under way
before Graham proposed a Joint debate
All right said Johnson, in his easy,
good-natured way. i don't know much
about debating, but il t'other feller kin do
it ! reckon | kin, too
so the debate was arranged. II was
opened at big barbecue and picnic at
Lige Jones, on the edge OF lanes prairie.
The day arrived and with it about half
went to Captain Johnson and intimated
that he would like to open and close the
debate. Johnson assented.
You're welcome to take the furst
whurl at me- he said. 4 guess kin make
out with what's left
''It was agreed that Graham was TO have
an hour to open and half all hour to re-
join, while Mr.. Johnson was to speak for
an hour and half without intermission.
The people assembled about the stand to
hear the flow OF oratory Graham made
a splendid speech, full Of good arguments
and humor. When his time was up he sat
down, feeling that he was already elected.
Then Captain Johnson rose.

Powdered Carbon as a Fuel.
| From Succcss.1


When coal or charcoal is very finely pull
verized it will burn much like gas. At
tcmpts to utilize this fact have been quite
successful, the best method employing a
sort of rotating ventilator to blow the
powder into the combustion chamber. The
resulting fame can be controlled as de-
sired and the method has many good
points. French paper, the "Revue
Technique describes it as very seduc-
tive but hesitatcs to recommend it, both
because OF the expense of proper pulvcri-
cation and the spontaneous combustion
of the finely divided coal. Some of those
who approve the method believe that
pulYctizer may be attached to each fur
mace. which win grind up the coal as it
IS nee led and taas obyate the latter
objection. ..,.s'7''-.

proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn,' is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because theFe is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to itnaturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is ne most satisfactory treat
