mans formal request to be made a. mem
Der of the District Of Columbia commit
tee in the next house. There are several
committees for which Mr.. Buchanan might
have asked for that would enable him to
do good service for the northwest, and
this was pointed out to him, but he stur-
Oily refused to yield. His action is in
striking contrast with that Of the other
new Minnesota members,a who at yester-
days delegation conference cheerfully
sunk their personal preferences for the
good Of the state. The District Of Column
bia committee is purely local to Wash
ington. and membership on it carries no
prestige so far as general legislation is
concerned. The unfortunate thing about
it is that places on this committee are
usually sought by "grafters" in congress,
and the committee is, therefore. in rather
bad repute. Mr.. Buchanan probably does
not know that, or he would hardly have
acted as he did. ~ a.
The old members of the delegation are
greatly pleased with the way the new
members. save Buchanan. are preparing
to cooperate for the good Of the state,
and it is predicted the delegations ,inf1u-
ence in the next congress will be much
greater than ordinarily would be the case
with SO many old members going out and
new ones coming in. AS to Mr.. Buchanan,
it may be predicted safely that his ar1bi-
ton will not be realized. Before Speaker
Cannon acts on his request he will con-
suit other members Of the delegation. and
not one of them will indorse Mr. Buck
mans application. This will be enough
to influence the speakers decision.
Yesterdays conference. of course. did
not take up committee assignments for
John Lind. who will be taken care of by
the speaker after consultation with the

ever, that Mr.. Lind will have good as

Vienna, Feb. 2o.-Sensational charges
against Prince Philip Of -Coburg-
Gotha, who is an Austrian field marshal
and husband Of the Princess Louise OF
Belgium, were made to-day in. the reichs-
rath in the debate on the army bill by
Herr Dascynski. the Polish leader. The
latter denounced the prince as "a criminal.
Referring to the Imprisonment Of the for
mer lieutenant of hussars, Mattasich, who
eloped with the Princess Louise of Coburs
several years ago and who was sentenced
to four years Imprisonment last December
for forgery, he asserted that while in
prison Mattasich drew up a formal accu-
sation charging Prince Philip with forcing
the Princess Louise, who was confined il
an asylum for the insane near Dresden
some time after her elopement, to encour-
age the advances Of the late Baron Hirsct

Mr.. QUAY DENIES IT
He States in the Senate That He
Made No Pledge to the
Caucus.
Discussion Intended to Delay thu
Panama Treaty Still Goes
.~ On.

Washington, Feb. 2O.--When the senate
met at IL a. M. to-day it was still the
legislative day of yesterday. recess hay
ing been taken last evening until this
morning. The proceedings were still be-
hind closed doors.
The Panama canal treaty was imne-
diately laid before the senate. ,
Senator Morgan yielded the floor to Sem
ator Burton (rep) an advocate of the
omnibus statehood bill. His contention
was that while the canal treaty might be
a meritorious measure. the statehood bill
was equally SO and that it should be voted
upon.
Senator Burton's speech was drawn
out by some criticisms of the decision o.
the republican caucus.
Mr.. Dubois Gdaho) followed with a
speech in criticism of the treaty and Of
what he characterized as the summary
action of the republican caucus. He COM
planned that the caucus had tried to force
a vote upon the sena te on a measure that
had not been considered at all and said
this could not be done.
When he concluded Senator Morgan con-
t1nued his remarks in opposition to the
treaty in its present shape.
The most interesting event of the day
was before the beginning of the routine
proceedings, when Senator Quay rose to
question of personal privilege. He had
read an article from a New York paper
accusing him of violating a pledge made
in the republican caucus Wednesday to
support the, treaty to the exclusion of
every other subject, He said such was
not the case. but on the contrary he had
protested to the last in the caucus against
any action looking to the displacement
OF the statehood bill. He called upon
other senator's to testify to this effect and
| several did so, among them Senator For
| aker, who said that he was quite sure
Senator Quay had made no such pledges
Senator Lodge stated that he had not
heard him make any. Senator Nelson OK
pressed the opinion that pledge was
at least implied. '

JUDGE MORRIS CASE
Causes Something Of a Flutter
Among Certain Lawyers.

Washington. Feb. 20.-The office to
which Judge Morris is appointed will not
be created until July /, and yet Judge
Morris was appointed yesterday, which
caused something of a flutter among some
of the old-fashioned lawyers in congress
who are used to interpreting the constitu-
ton strictly. Judge Morris will be con-
frmed, however for it is said appoint
ments are frequently made under condi-
tons similar. to those prevailing in his
case. If. however, there should be a ques-
tion raised about it, the president would
make the appointment anew after July
J.. during the congressional recess, leaving
confirmation for the senate next winter.
Judge Morris, meanwhile, would serve as
district judge and draw salary as such.

ments this morning into the sunlit piazza
Of ST.. Peters. This was the pontiff's only
reference to his long term of self-imposed
Imprisonment in the vatican2during which
he has never gone beyond the palace
grounds and st. Peters, which, is con-
sidered to be part Of the vatican.
What a glorious morning for the ju-
bilee of my pontiacate,'' the pope added,
as he proceeded with evident pleasure
to peruse the almost innumerable tele-
grams. letters and addresses OF congrat-
ulattons which have reached the vatican
from all parts of the world.
A Brilliant Scene.
The hall Of Qualification. above the por-
tico of St. Peters, where the pontiff held
his jubilee reception, presented a brilliant
scene. It was beautifully hung with an
tique brocades and Illuminated by thou
sands of electric lights and wax candles.
The boxes lining the long, narrow hall
were filed with members of the Roman
aristocracy, diplomats, women with black
wells. men in evening dress and monks
and sisters in varying garb Here and
there groups Of papal guards in bright
uniforms lent color to the whole. Notable
among the diplomats was Count Almodo
var. head of the special mission sent to
represent the King Of Spain at the jubilee.
Struggle to Get Into the Hall,
The struggle to get into the hail was
terrific People were swept off their feet
and women We're overcome, but no one
was really injured. The babel Of tongues
raised in protest testified to the world;
wide character Of the gathering.
Among the Americans present were Bis
hops Maurice Burke Of st. Joseph. Mo-,
and Edward Dunno Of Dallas. Texas;
Fathers S. P. Mcdonnell and Hugh O'Gara
McShane of Chicago and Thomas O'Gara
of Wilmington, ILL.,; Mrs. ana Miss Choate
and f. Z. Johnson.
Entrance Of the Pope
There was a long and tedious wait be-
fore the ceremony commenced and the
audience was growing restless when sud-
denly a great roar of Long live Leo"
and Long live the pope-king,,' announced
the arrival of the pontiff. His holiness
was borne in the sedia gestatoria on the
brocade. The pope himself wore gorgeous
robes and had the triple crown on his
head.
He bestowed his benediction right and
left as he passed through the cheering
concourse, whose enthusiasm was so great
and whose desire to touch the hem of the
pope's gown was SO intense that the pres
ence of the guards seemed really necessary
for his protection.
| In a procession surrounded by such a
brilliant escort of prelates, aristocracy and
guards, Pope Leo always appears at his
best- His feebleness and bent form are
hidden and the public sees only the vener-
able patriarch with cameo-like features
