Minister Bowen has arrived in
Washington with full power from
President Castro to effect any re-
asonable settlement of the claims OF
the European powers: On arriving
Mr.. Bowen was met with the infor-
nation that he was expected to treat
with Great Britain, Germany and
Italy separatelyssand that every move
in the deliberations must be referred
to the home governments, con-
ditions, most discouraging to those
who hope for speedy settlement of
the difficulties. The position of
Germany, especially since the second
bombardment of San Carlos, is re-
garded with grave suspicion by the
officials of the State Department
which promises to use its good
Offices to the full limit to facilitate
Mr.. Bowen's negotiations.

1t is possible that the bill introduced

is understood that such a measure

Senate.

WASHINGTON, January "a, 1908.
Senator Quay, assisted by the
unanimous vote of the Democrats
in the Senate, out-gencralled Sena-
tor. Beverage and his Republican
supporters yesterday and forced a
test vote on the Statehood bill,
thereby demonstrating the falseness
of the Mr.. Beveridge's claim that
Mr.. Quay and the Democrats were
filibustering. The vote came on a
motion to go into executive session
for the further consideration of the
Cuban treaty. On Tuesday Sena-
tor Quay gave notice that he would
be compelled by the dilatory tactics
of the Republicans to insist that the
Senate remain In continuous session
until the Statehood bill was disposed
of or date set for the vote. On
Wednesday, as soon as the routine
business was disposed of, he moved
that the Statehood bill be laid
before the Senate Senator Beve-
ridge made no objection and Sena-
tor Burnham began long speech
| against time. Thus the first clash
was avoided. Thought the day,
however there was an atmosphere
OF suppresse excitement in the
Capitol and it was felt that a clash
would occur before night. About
M Senator Burnham asked TO
be excused from continuing until
today and Senator Cullom moved
an executive session. Immediately
Mr.. Quay demanded the yeas and
nays and the test vote was accomp-
lished. The result was 81 nays, 81
yeas and eleven pairs.
TT
The significance of this vote lies
in the fact that Mr.. Quay has
proved that he represents majority
of the Senate and that on fair vote
Statehood will be granted to the
three territories. Fil;bustering by
the majority is held in such dis
repute that 1t is now believed that
the Republicans will no longer hold
out and Mr.. Quay is confident that
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico
Will become states before the 4th of
March. The Republicans are talk
ing of compromise but after de-
monstrating that he has majority
OF ten votes Senator Quay declares
that he has no intention of com
promising and will stand out for the
passage of the Omnibus Statehood
bill.
I'll
The course pursued by the Senate
with regard to antitrust legislation
is regarded with grave suspicion by
all true friends of trust control.
Just as the House subcommittee
had completed an antitrust bill
which had received the approval of
the Democratic members of the
committee and which was drawn
along the lines outlined by the
Attorney General, twas announced
that three antitrust measures were
about to make their appearance in
the Senate. One of these was, in
fact, introduced yesterday. 1t
comes from the committee on Inter
state Commercs and deals with those
recommendations of the Attorney
General affecting transportation re-
bates, etc.

times was in the deepest throes of mel
ancholy.
"When Mr.. Russell came home last
night his wife was fretfnl and the hus-
band lost his temper" said this friend.
HE threatened to 60 to the Great
Northern offices this morning, cash his
pay checks and leave the wife. Today
he went from his rooms and Mrs. Rus
sell took the opportunity to end her
existence.
"Since the operation year ago Mrs.
Russell has repeatedly wished for death.
Her friends did what they could 20
cheer her, but at times their efforts
we're almost hopeless. She lost interest
to a large extent in things that year
ago had been most dear to her.
MRS. Russell was but % years OF
age, and up to the time of her mar
riage four years ago had lived in Athe-
ma, Ore. Her relatives with the ex-
ception of two or three who reside IN
Spokane, are still residents Of that
town..
When seen at the Montvale this
afternoon Mr.. Russell was too much
wrought up to make any statement.
He blames himself for the sad end
of his wife, although friends of the
family are of the belief that her pro,
longed illness can be ascribed as the
direct cause of her suicide.

There is also no doubt in my mind
but that the small water mains by
which this city is supplied will pre-
vent the two pumps now being put in
at the station from materially benefit

we'll known to the engineering fra

forcing water through pipes has a
limit: and in my opinion the pipes
are already handling about all the
water they can accommodate.

advantages given this city for reser-

less than a sin that the city officials
should fool with stand-pipes as a
solution to the water shortage. Seat

modate the needs of this city will

Until the city adopts the reservoir
system it is my belief that we shall
never have an adequate water supply
The proposition Of the city council
TO build two 1000. 000- gallon tanks
is preposterous, for the simple reason
that when the two pumps now being
added to the up-river station are
completed the capacity OF that plant
will be 100000 gallons per day.
