committee will ask the attorney gem
eral to furnish an Interpretation of the

PANAMA TREATY REPORTED TO
THE SENATE FOR ITS ACTION

lom. Spooner and Allison. Speaking
as chairman of the committee on for
eign relations. Mr.. Cullom said that
the treaty had been in committee for
almost a month before 1t was taken up.
He conceded that during the greater
portion of this time Congress was not
in session, but said he had called the
committee to meet on the first regular
meeting day after the Senate recon
vened. and that at his instance 1t had
been holding daily sessions most Of the
time since. He declared that careful
consideration had been given to all the
details connected with the treaty, and
said that instead of precipitancy being
manifested, the committee had given
the utmost consideration to all sugges-
tions for amendments and had adopt
ed some Of them. He felt that the ma
jority had listened with great patience
to all the representations made, and
therefore had felt justified in putting
the motion, made by Senator Lodge in
committee. for the reporting Of the
treaty without delay.
Senator Spconer spoke along the
same lines and went into detail to
show the consideration given by the
committee to the suggestions Of Demo-
cratic members. Senator Allison sug-
gested that Democratic Senators could
offer amendments at any stage OF the
proceedings in the Senate and assured
them that all amendments would have
fair and deliberate consideration.

DEATH OF GEORGE

New York Jan. 19.-George Francis
Train died last night at Mills hotel
No. /, where he has lived for some
years.
Heart disease, from which he died.
followed an attack of acute nephritis.
George Francis Train will be record
ed in history as the most eccentric
character ever produced in this coun-

name was constantly before the public
For the last thirty years ne has led a
retired life in New York City, his name
only occasionally appearing in print
In the fall of 1902 he issued his last
of the many books of which he has
been the author. 1t was an autobiog-
raphy. containing many Of the more
important incidents of lis life, and
which he claimed to have dictated in
thirty-fve hours. The book was char
acteristic of the man.
George Francis Train was perhaps
best known through his connection
with the organization of the Credit Mo-
bilier and the construction of the I'm
ion Pacific railroad. his organization
of the French commune at Marseilles.
France and three record breaking Jour-
neys which he made around the globe.
The first of these trips he made in
eighty days and he claims that Jules
Verne two years later wrote fiction OF
his facts. That trip was made in 1870
The second trip was made in sixty-sev-
on and one-half days in 1900. The third
and shortest record was made by him
in 1902, making the journey in sixty
days.

Illuminating the Stomach.

New York. Jan. 1S.--Dr. William J.
Morton has resolved not to say an
other word for publication OF his dis
covery that fiuorescent water in con-
junction with X or radium rays will
operate to cure cancer and other dis
eases.
Another very important use of DR..
Morton's method has been made. DIR.
Robert c. Kent of 101 East Fifty-sev-
enth street has discovered that an al
most perfect diagnosis of the stomach
may be made by the use OF nuorescent
liquid and light that will cause. 1t to
fluorcsce. The intestines are first food
ed with the liquid and then the patient
swallows n small lamp adapted for this
purpose. In the experiment made by
DR.. Kent he discovered that when the
fiuorescence took place the interior OF
the abdomen was plainly visible. This
aid to diagnosis is almost as valuable
rs the discovery that DR.. Morton's solu-
tion. or liquid sunshine will cure ean-

HABEAS CORPUS
CASE IN COURT

Denver, Jan. 19.-Judge Hallett has
been asked 10 have the United States
Court interfere in the trouble at Grip
pie Creek. Yesterday the attorneys for
Sherman Parker. held under arrest by
the state military officers in the gold
camp. applied in the Federal
Circuit Court for a writ of

asked them to notify the attorney gen.
eral of the state that the application
had been made, and said that he would
be ready to hear arguments at 10
o'clock this morning.
The petition filed by the attorneys
for Mr.. Parker goes very fully into the
whole case. After the statement of the
nature OF the request, the complaint

nations issued by Governor Peabody in
connection with the Cripple Greek trou-

Teller county courts. On November
21st he was arrested again and held
until some time in December. He ap-
piled for writ of habeas corpus on
December 4th. and on December 9th
was delivered to the sheriff of Teller
county. In the meantime Governor
Peabody had issued two more procla-
imations covering the troubles in Grip

Washington, Jan. 19-While the
Panama canal question has been before
the Senate on general principles during
the greater part Of the present session,
the Panama canal treaty was not re-
ported until yesterday. 1t had no
sooner been reported 'favorably to the
Senate in executive session than it be-
came the subject of heated controversy.
Senator Cullom made the report in
favor of the treaty. whereupon Senator
Morgan, as a member of the commit
tee, at once entered formal protest
against the acceptance of the report,
on the ground that when the committee
decided to report the treaty, an
amendment was still under considera
tion and that he had not had time to
present an amendment looking to the
striking out of article % of the treaty
In which Panama renounces her right
to participation in the earnings of the
canal when built.
Senator Morgan supported his writ
ten statement with brief speech, and
was Immediately followed by Senator
Daniel with resolution declaring
against the policy of reporting any
treaty or bill until each member shall
have offered any, amendments he de-
sired to present Senator Daniel de-
clared that the course of the committee
had been both precipitate and unfair,
and urged that the treaty should be
recommitted for further consideration.

FRIENDS OF STATEHOOD NOW
HOPE FOR FAVORABLE ACTION

in a large measure, melted away, and
that no serious obstacles will be
placed in the way of statehood in Ell
ther branch Of Congress. This optim-
istic view is not shared by those who
have sought to obtain expressions from
members Of the Senate relative to pos
sible action by that body. The mem
bers OF the Senate committee on terri
tories seems to be strongly antagon-
istic to separate statehood, as It was
presented in the Fffty-seventh Con-
gress, and individual members. Bever-
idge, Burnham. Dillingham;, and others,
will oppose all separate statehood pro
jects.
Senator Quay, who conducted the
fight for statehood in the last Congress,
Is absolutely silent on the question
now. At a recent conference between
him and President Roosevelt 1t is said
the statehood bills were discussed, but
IL this Is 80, Senator Quay has not seen
fit to take any one into his confidence
relative to the result of his talk.
The proposition to combine Arizona
and New Mexico for admission as one
state, and Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as another, meets with universal
opposition from citizens OF these terri
tories, and from their delegates in
Congress. 1t is certain that PROPOSE
tions OF this kind will be rejected, con-
tinuance of territorial form Of govern
ment being considered preferable to the
consolidation as proposed.

The conclusion of the hearings before

hopeful that favorable action will be

Five statehood bills are pending:
Delegate Wilson's. granting separate

statehood to New Mexico; Delegate
McGuire's. third, granting separate
statehood to Oklahoma. with the pro-
vision that Congress may at any time
attach any part or all Of the Indian

Representative Moon OF Tennessee has
q fifth, comforting full territorial right
on the Indian Territory. The name OF

The advocates of statehood bills have
departed from the practice Of the pre-

heretofore been favorable method of

measures are working in entire har-
