SENATOR WARREN is ENDORSED.
Wyoming Legislature Gives Him Vote
of Confidence.

Cheyenne, Feb. 15.-The following
resolution was adopted by the two
houses of the state legislature yester-
day:
Whereas, An attempt was made to
introduce certain malicious resolutions
in the Wyoming senate rejecting on
the character and services of F. b..
Warren, senator from Wyoming in the
senate of the United States; and,
Whereas, The people Of Wyoming
at large, as well as members of this
legislative assembly, have full knowl-
edge of the untruthfulness of each AMI
every charge contained in said resolu-
tions, and of the high, honorable and
faithful service rendered in the state
and nation for many years by Senator
Warren; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we hereby express
our confidence in the wisdom, patriot
ism, integrity and fidelity of Senator
Warren and in his entire devotion to
the interest of the Wyoming people
and the nation"

CONTROVERSY BETWEEN PREsl
DENT AND SENATE.
Believes Senate to Be Right in Insist
ing on Exercising Supervision
of Treaties.

st. Paul, Feb. 15.-William J. Bryan
was in ST. Paul Tuesday and called
on Governor Johnson. While there he
gave out an interview on the recent
controversy between the president and
the senate, saying:
II believe the senate lis right in re-
fusing to surrender its right to voice
in making treaties, and l think the
president is in error. The very fact
that he refuses to recognize the right
of an opinion so overwhelmingly eX-
pressed is in itself evidence of the
danger of delegating to him the power
which he asks. There is, however, a
basis upon which he and the senate
might reach an agreement, and | hope
that a reconciliation may take place.
The basis to which / refer, and which
have proposed in an editorial, is that
the president be authorized to submit
to The Hague court for investiga
ton any and every question involving
| OH llLCl uAopuIS5 thO Pea SASA
to the dispute reserving the right to
take such action as they deem proper
after the facts are ascertained. This
would be a broader power in one re
spect than the president asks for, be
cause it would enable him to put or
foot an impartial investigation, ans
this investigation, by removing misun
derstanding and defining the issue
would result in the settlement of many
questions which he might hesitate tt
submit to arbitration in advance O.
investigation. 1t would at the same
time preserve the senate's right tt
participate in any treaty or othel
binding agreement involving the decis
ion of an international question"

believed that the next few years will
bring about material increase in its
export trade, and SO it has been fig
ured by the experts that by 1910 New
toundland will probably .have an i'm
port business of 100000 per year.

Mr.. SULLIVAN is CHEERED
HEARST IN HOUSE.
Man He Named In Murder Charge
Tells His Story and All
Applaud.

Washington, Feb. 16.-There was
another chapter OF the Sullivan-Hearst
episode in the house yesterday, when
Mr.. Sullivan declared Mr.. Hearst had
ignored his offer to make statement
concerning his connection with the
homicide to which Mr.. Hearst alluded.
Mr. Sullivan admitted that on Mo-
vember "a, 1885, his father, Eugene }.
Sullivan, and himself were convicted
of manslaughter in the superior court
OF Middlesex, Mass.
Mr.. Sullivan explained that while
has father was conducting a licensed
hotel in Boston, he was attacked by g
drunken man. He (Sullivan), then II
years old, went to the rescue of his
father.
The man was knocked down and
| stuck his head against the curbstone,
became unconscious and never recov-
cred. His father was sentenced to
three years imprisonment. Sullivan
was held to be only technically guilty
and was neither imprisoned nor fined.
His father was pardoned after serving
year and half.
Mr.. Sullivan declared that the most
that could ever be alleged against him
was that he was technically guilty
the district attorney having admitted
that ha was not even morally guilty
Mr.. Sullivan added: is
81 am constrained to say that if my
father was now alive and he were tc
be attacked in my presence I would
come again to his defense. All the
facts were fully published in all the
Boston newspapers at the time and
were before my constituents when
was elected to the Massachusetts sen
ate in 1900 and 1901 and to the con
gress of the United States in 1902 and
1904, and it was not until 20 years af
ter the alleged offense that any indi
vidual was found who felt that it was
necessary or proper to allude to tbs
circumstances of the case"
Mr.. Sullivan receiver loud applause
from both sides of the chamber when
he declared that he walked out o.
court a free man and had not been i'm
Iprisoned a day nor fined a cent. The
applause broke out afresh when he de
clared that under similar circum
stances, II his father were alive h
would go to his defense. He took hi
seat amid renewed applause, severa
members going to his seat and shaldn
: his hand.

From the time when we first be-
came in independent nation to the
present moment there has never been
a generation in which some of the
most distinguished and most useful
men were not men who had been born
on the other side of the Atlantic, and
it is peculiarly appropriate, and to me
peculiarly Pleasing, that in addressing
this club of the men upon whose eff
torts much Of the future welfare OF

who show by their actions that they
know no difference between Jew and

REPUBLICANS IN HOUSE ABIDE
BY PARTY ACTION.
JoHNsToN's ABLE PLEA
Democratic Member From Yellowstone
Appeals for Fair Treatment
of His County.

Helena, Feb. 15.-The strongest
speech made in the legislative assem-
bly, this session was delivered yester-
day by Representative Johnston or
Yellowstone county, in opposition to
the bill creating the thirteenth judicial
district, with F. H. Hathhorn as judge.
.Johnston's opposition was not to the
BIZ, but it was to the selection OF
Hathhorn, and in presenting his OBJ
Jections he used language that could
not be misunderstood.
A few days ago the rep iblicans held
a caucus on this bill, and the majority
decided to support it as party mea-
sure. AS result the appeal of john
ston did not avail, all the republicans
voting for it's favorable recommends
ton, and in addition Kennedy and
Coleman, fusionists, and Bembrick,
democrat, stood up with them.
The only other measure that was the
occasion of debate of any consequence
was that repeating the present law re-
lating to the Office of game warden.
The bill takes off the tax now levied
for the support of the Office of game
warden and places tax of 81 year
on all resident fishermen and hunters
The bill was within an ace OF death,
owing to some provisions that the
ranchmen believed affected them in
| juriously, but it was amended and then
it went through the committee with
few votes in the negative
Three bills of general Interest were
killed. No. "a, which provided thai
justices of the peace could punish for
contempt, was killed on third reading,
Johnston saying that it was a danger
GUS power to place in the hands of the
average justice.
The Coleman BILL providing that as
signments of wages must be filed with
the clerk and recorder, was also killed
when it came up for final passage.
Hilmans bill, providing for the dis
i, vi uCoCl lAoAA SAAS NA
my and navy and militia was killed in
committee of the whole.
Train Wrecking Bill.
1t looks now as though the bill to
punish train wreckers would go to the
governor, after all. This is the bill
the house tried to kill after it had
passed the house and the senate when
the latter body sent it back for con-
currence in an amendment Yesterday
the senate receded from it's amend
1nent and concurred in the bill. Ac-
cording to the authorities the bill is
now beyond the authority of the house
The outlook is the senate will finally
settle the Meagher monument site
question next Monday, the resolution
dealing with the subject being made
special order for that day.
The Lanstrum health board bill was
made a special order for Friday.

Slot Machine.
Butte, Feb. 15.--The saloon OF Blake
& Trevail, 429 South Arizona street,
was entered by burglars at an early
hour this morning and a quantity OF
cigars and whisky carried off, together
with the slot machine, which contain
ed about $40. 1t is thought some per-
sons who are we'll acquainted in the
neighborhood are the guilty ones. The
saloon was not closed until afteS mid
night, and it is presumed the thieves
watched until the proprietor closed
up for the night and shortly afterward
effected an entrance. The goods miss
ing are six boxes of cigars, four bot
ties of whisky and the slot machine.

nary earthworks and regularly constructed
batteries is prodigious.
They are simply reduced to shapeless
heap, untenable by the defenders, who must
either surrender or abandon their positions,
as the Russians were obliged to at Port
Arthur. The bombardments Of the works
defending Sebastopol were child's play
compared with the fire from the Japanese
batteries after Gen. Nogi had got down
to his work at Port Arthur, klt the forces
were more equal, hence the duration Of the
siege, elcvon months.
At Port Arthur the Russians we're deficient

comes greater wi h the increased cahber
of the piece and weight Of the projectile.
Betw IN the modern gun and that OF this
year in the last century there Is as great
difference as between the explosives used IN
them.
The best of the old guns that were cast
with a smooth core to form the bore were
never more than approximately accurate
in their fire. for the reason that The axis
of the bore had almost invariably anything
from one or two to az much as Ave degrees
variation in some guns from the axis OF
sighting and the line OF elevation. In
those days the best gunner was the one
who had become familiar with the vagaries
of hia weapon at all ranges, and knew
where to plant his shot in spite OF them
In the modern piece mechanical perfeo-
ton and the use Of mathematical and
optical appliances for range finding and
sighting have diminished the value OF the
