that 1t was a recognition of the de fac

''Will the senator say why twenty
nations of Europe have recognized

of its faculty. its students and its
methods it had spread beyond its al
legiance to the Baptist church.

other creeds. he continued, and S99 out

John d. Rockefeller, who was a Bap,

EVENTS I'M WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Sharp Treaty Discussion.

Mr Stone of Missouri addressed the
Senate on his resolution directing the
committee on foreign relations tc
make inquiry into the facts relating
to the revolution in Panama. He OF.
fered a substitute for his resolution in
accordance with the decision of the
Democratic senatorial caucus of last
Saturday, the substitute being as fol.
lows:
THAT the committee on foreign re
lations is hereby instructed to investi'
gate and ascertain whether Bunau-
Varilla and other persons residing in
the United States and subject to our
laws, did aid or promote an insurrec.
tion in Panama against the Republic
of Colombia and did give assurance
to citizens of Panama that they should
have the aid and assistance OF our
navy in behalf of such inSurrection, /,
and whether any officials of any de-
partment of this government did dis
close or make known to said Bunau-
Varilla or to any other person, the
action which the government OF the
United States designed or proposed to
take in the event of an insurrection.
He said the President had boldly an
nounced lin the clustering diction of
the Duccaneer, MS intention 10
seize the isthmus of Panama if Colon
bia did not ratify the Hay-Herran
treaty. and added that he had done
this without disguise or shame.
Mr.. Stone said he fancied the Presi-
dents attitude would be most crafty
ing to John c. Calhoun and Jefferson
Davis, were they living. Panama
could do nothing, unless independent.
and "the President thus admits his
willingness to inspire revolt and aid
rebellion"
Mr.. Spooner defended the admins
tration against what he termed were
the misrepresentation of opposing
senators. He claimed that Panama
never had been a legitimate part of
Colombia. and that she would have
achieved her Independence fifty years
ago. but for the interference of the
United States to protect the isthmian
transit. He declared that never had
there been worse gang of robbers
than the men who constitute the gov
ernment OF Colombia.

Washington, Jan. 29-Representa-
tive Sulloway of New Hampshire.

will give to each soldier who served
ninety days and who reaches the age Of
sixty-two years, sS per month; sixty
six years. $40 per month. and seventy
years, $l2 per month In addition to
the above rates his bill gives to the
men who served two years or more an
additional increase of 81 a month in
each of the above classes. The bill in
creases the minimum of pensions al
lowed to SIS per month instead OF ST,
which will increase the pensions OF
125,395 soldiers who are now on the
rolls at Sc per month.
The bill further provides, that the
pensions of widows who married to
soldiers prior to January l, 1870. and
who are now on the rolls drawing pen
sions of SS, shall be increased to Sl2.

died of disease contracted in the serv-
ice. This bill will give an increase for
the men who served ninety days, and
increases for the men who fought
through the entire war, and also in
creases the pensions of the widows

Denver. January 29.-Central Pres
byterian Church was comfortably filled
last night at the concert given by Mad
anne Patti and her company, al
though the audience was somewhat OF
disappointment to the management.
Every part OF the house was occupied,
but a glance over the audience revealed
numerous vacant spaces. Immediately
after the opening of the doors the price
of box seats was scaled down from $40
to $5, but even with this rebate many
of them were empty. There was plenty
of enthusiasm manifested, however.
and at the conclusion of Madame Pat
It's last number she was given gen.
uine ovation. Again and again was she
recalled, and the audience continued its
demand until she came out with her
cloak on and gracefully but emphati-
cally waved a final farewell.
The other members of the company
were also accorded a generous recep-

The audience was not distinctly a

business and professional men and
their wives; the members of the musi-
cal circles of Denver: the teachers of

railroads and at present has no less
than six under construction.
When seen last night Mr. Wilson re
fused to make any statement with re
gard to the railway al present but Will
announce the plans later.
However. it is learned that the road
is to be built and operated on a sub
sidy plan. the farmers OF the district
cooperating with the company. The
farmers will pay toward the construc-
ton of the road a sum proportional
with the saving 1t is said they will
make by the installation OF the line.
Mr.. Sethman of Denver addressed
mass meeting of the farmers at Gree
lev a few nights since. at which a gen
eral plan of procedure was adopted.
1t is stated in the articles of incor-
noration that line will be built from
Greeley to Erie. on the b. d NJ, via
Idaho creek, a distance of about forty
miles. Further it is provided that
branch roads may be constructed. or
these. one to Platteville and Fort Lup-
ton is said to be contemplated.
1t is the intention of the company
to cover all the farming districts in
every direction with Greeley as hub.
Another line will be constructed east 10
a station between Crow creek and Lone
Tree. a distance of about fifteen miles.
To the northwest of Greeley the ling
will run to Wellington. in Larimes(
county. and perhaps go through to
Fort Collins but short distance fur
ther on.
Windsor will be made the principal
point on this line. on account OF the
sugar factory at that place. For like
reason Eaton will be the principal sta
ton on a line running almost directly
north of Greeley through Lucerne, Ault
and to Pierce.

That was the audience, and the recep-
ton it gave Patti must have made up
for any lack of eclat she may have no
ticed in the scene before her.
Whether 1t was an indication OF lack
of culture in the audience or whether
she did not sing them SO well. 1t re
mained that Nine. PATHS arias from
Mozart and Gounod did not begin to
elicit the applause which was easily
gained by the simple little ballads she
sang. She responded to the first en-
core with Robin Adair" and this at
once broke the stiffness she had not
dispelled by her aria. AS the encore to
this she sang a tender little heart song
in which her voice appeared to even
better advantage.
But the climax of feeling came
when in the second part of the program
she responded with Home. Sweet
Home" When the first note of the ac-l
compartment was sounded the applause
broke forth, and then, in the interval
before Patti took up the old song. there
was a deathlike stiffness all over the
house. 1t was the moment two-thirds
of the audience had waited for. Tor no
one has ever sung Home, Sweet
Home" as has Patti. Everybody
breathed softly during the singing of
the two stanZas of the song. and then
when it closed it seemed that there was
just the faintest bit of a sob swept
over the listeners before the applause
broke forth. In response to another
encore Patti came back smiling and
winning, and sang with the inimitable
charm of acting, Coming Thro' the
Rye"

Reservoir Withdrawals. S.

The secretary of the interior has
rendered a decision in relation to the
withdrawal of lands for reservoir
sites.
Under the operations OF the irriga-
tion law 80. 900 900 acres believed to
be susceptible of irrigation have been
temporarily withdrawn by the secre-
tary and the local land officers have
been directed. in case of lands with
drawn Tor irrigation works, such as
reservoir sites, etc. to allow no en-
tries of any kind whatever within the
areas withdrawn until the withdrawal
shall have been modified or revoked.
In timber and stone applications,
where no payment for such lands has
been made at the date of the with
drawal. 1t is held that no segregation
has been effected. no vested interest
in the application accrued, and conse-
Quently the government Withdrawals
become operative upon such applica-
tions and effect a withdrawal thereof
so as to terminate the contingent right
of the applicant. and devote the land
to the objects and purposes OF the act
under which the orders of withdrawal
We're made.
The effect of this decision is to pro-
tect the government from hold.ups by
speculators. These spectators, by ap-
pearing early in the sections where
Withdrawals are made or contemplate
ed. secure locations on valuable res
ervoir sites which they afterward hold
at exorbitant prices and thus delay or
prevent the construction of important
irrigation works by the government.
