IN THE SENATE.

Y 2 New Democratic Senator From Arr
 knnsas Supports Panama Policy {,
 WASHINGTON Feb. 3.--Mr. Clarke the new Democratic senator from Ar kansas, has made his first speech in the senate. He spoke for two hours and announced his indorsement of ev- cry position taken by the president in connection with the Panama revolt and in the negotiation of the treaty with the new state. He even said that in view of the proyocation given by Co., lombia the president might have been expected to go farther than he did in advancing the cause of Panama. He declared that there was more popular support of the course of the presidents policy among Democrats than among Republicans and said that the Demo cratic votes necessary to ratify the treaty were assured.
 MT. Fairbanks also spoke in support of the treaty, contending for the irreg- ularity of all the proceedings of the administration on the isthmus of Pan anna.
 The proceedings of the day were opened with prayer by Rabbi Philip son of Cincinnati. s

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-02-03

Fore the death bulletin announced that fhe patient was doing we'll, although he was not entirely out of danger. It Bwas firmly believed that MT. Whitney Tas convaleseent and would recover.
 Starting with little or nothing in the fway of material wealth, William c. Whitney began the hard grind of awyer's life in this city forty years hgo. His early successes were of the }neteoric kind, but they never served to burn him from his infiexible purpose, $vhich was to build up and control big fhings. Perhaps his most conspicuous haturai gift was his remarkable versa kility. It led him into scores of fields, En each of which he achieved success,
 His mother came from an equally fplendid line of pioneer Americans, be- Eng descended from Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth colony.
 William c. Whitney was born at Conway, Mass, in 1S41, was educated kt Williston seminary, East Hampton, hud later went to Yale, from which he fvas graduated in 1865. He took a two years law course at Harvard and in lS65 came to this city, hung up a shin
 le and waited for clients.
 aNdr. Whitney came of distinguished Zine of manly men. First there was John Whitney, who came here in 1885 with Sir Richard saltonstall. Then fhere was General Josiah Whitney, who fought yaliantly against the French and the Indians at Grown Point and afterward taught military kcience to the youth at Harvard. Elqually valiant and successful were
 those who followed up to the time Of GeneraI James Scollay Whitney, father pf William c. Whitney.
 Tn 1882 Mir Whitney resumed private practice and three years later entered he cabinet of Grover Cleveland as sec Fetary of the navy. At that time the dominant feature of MT. Whitney, s eharacter was @ craze for reorganiza Zion Whenever he found things wrong he wanted to right them. Lt was his bnental recreation to tackle some tough proposition and work over 1t until he solved it to his own satisfaction.
 Therefore when he took charge of the 8navy he had a splendid field for this bort of effort. He reorganized the navy. EIe built new ships, he built plants for khe equipment of these ships in differ ent parts of the country, he stimulated Aprivate effort In the same direction, hnd his successors have thought SC welI of his initiative that they have Followed it unerringly ever since.
 Tn 1887 MT. Whitney's bent for reor- xanization led him to consideration of tfe street railroad problem. He tac- xkled this with his usual enthusiasm *and, although $40,00O,00O was needed 'to start the consolidation of twenty. 1.-two different car lines, he got the mon &ey. effected the consolidation and in Hi yeara IS credited with having made x1 1oI !ooo.

BASKET BALI.
TROUBLE UP
 IN TWISTED.
Sterling Five of This City Met the Winsteds and the Referee Did the Rest.

Ihe DaSketDall game between tue Sterling Five of this city and the Win sted T. A. E. team, which was played in Wfnsted last night, ended in a dis pute and the withdrawal from the floor of the Waterbury team after about one-haf of the second period had been played. The score at the time of the dispute stood IS to 12 i'll favor of the SterHngs. The cause of the abrupt ending of the game was as follows: The ball was held by Curtis and by one of the Winsted players long enough for tho referee to blow his whistle. The referee blew his whistle and took the ball to throw 1t up be- tween the players. As he did Curtis stood by the side of the Winsted play CT. The referee insisted that he should stand opposite the Winsted player. Curtis said that the rules gave him permission to stand any place within two feet of the ball and that he would not stand opposite his opponent. Tho referee then ordered him off the floor and he left and the rest of the team followed.
 Reyes Of Hartford was the referee. He thought he knew it all. Tn the early part of the game he made q de cision, wrong, according to the rules Captain Curtis called his attention to the rule and he reversed his decision Thereafter he rubbed it into the Wa tsrbury team. Tn removing Captain Curtis from the game he also violated the rules. which state that the cap tain of team cannot be removed from the game for protesting against de |ciSion unless he uses Tlngentlemanly language or gwears. Curtis did neith- nvs xn%a according to the rules, was to call n foul on him.
 The game, which was one of the closest and lasted played in Winsted this season. was witnessed by a large crowd. The first half ended with the score 10 to s in favor of the Sterlings. When the dispute occurred each team had scored four goals from thefield while the Sterlings had caged five goals on fouls and t1le Winsteds feilr. The Winsted team wanted the game badly, as 1t had not been defeated on it's own floor this season. The Ster- Hngs will try flo arrange return game with the IT, A. B.'s. The lineup of the team was as follows: Johnson, T. Curtis, forwards: A. Cook, center; W. Curtis. Selby, guards.
 Tn the preliminary game the Water bury High Scnool team defeated the Gilbert high school team by the score of IS to 13.
 The following dispatch concerning the star game was sent out from Win sted:
 Winsted. Feb 2.-1'he basketball game tonight between the Total Alb stinence socbety's team and the Ster- ling Five team of Waterbury was stopped by the referee because of the rough play by Curtis, the captain of the latter team. He was ordered off the floor several times and refused, to leave. and the referee gave the game to winsted. ? to 0. The score was F to II in favor of Waterbury when the game was stopped.
 The Waterbury players denied that they played roughly and say that the accusation might be more properly made against their opponents.

Lons rsYana Racing Tract.

Tn 1870 Daniel Denton, an old histori- an, wrote: Towards the middle of Long Island lyeth a plain sixteen miles long and four broad, where you shall find neither stick nor stone to hinder the horses heels or endanger them in their races, and once a year the best horses are brought thitheY to try their swift ness, and the swiftest is rewarded with 2 silver cup" In TITO, a London book makes this statement: These plains were celebrated for their races throughout all the colonies and even in England. They were held twice a wear. and thither resorted the gentry of New York and New England" In 1903. after a Rip Van WinlSle sleep of over a century, the tide of years and events rs- turns this great tract to it's earlier con- ditions, "a resort for the gentry of New York and New England" and a very much wider circuit of the country From seWhere Extremes Meet" by G.

Change I'm Rules.

A change in the baseball rules which is likely to be adopted by the NaIlon- al league this year has to do with prac- tice just before daily gamef The rules committee has it under c~ dera- ton, and 1t relates to indfscri nate practice near the stands. Ebbets of the Brooklyn club advised that this sort of practice be prohibited oil ac- count of the danger of spectators be-
 ing hit by thc ball. He suggested that all such practice be back or the
 onttield, as is the custom of college players before game, When players
 are batting or throwing two or three
 balls around close tO the stand it IS
 more difficult for spectators to dodge a ball than when the regular practice
 is going on and the players are TUT
 ther away. President Pulliams has added a group picture of the champion Princeton baseball team to his art gal

"The next move in ar ! ranging the schedule question is up to | the American league" said Barney ! Dreyfuss yesterday. "The proper way to fix things up when the two com mittees meet is for each to have a schedule drawn up on paper and then compare them and make the needed 1 changes. That's the way the sched-
