The sudden death of Senator Will liam B. Bate of Tennessee, as the Ire suit of cold contracted on inaugura, tion day, has afforded one more warn ing against holding the presidential in auguration at so indictment a season Senator Bate became chilled on the in. augural stand, there being a fierce north wind blowing across the front of the Capitol. penumonia followed and although he attended the session Of the senate on Monday, on Thursday he breathed his last. Democrats in Washington were much pleased at tht courtesy shown the late senator from Tennessee by the president. who. with his cabinet, attended the funeral ser vices of the old confederate general and southern statesman. The presi. dent is very busy these days, a host of callers coming to the White Hous. each day, but he broke all engage ments to show. honor to the deceased senator from Tennessee.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-03-14

The senate is still debating the San Domingo treaty, but will probably con clude the argument next week. In fact it is freely predicted that it will be impossible to hold quorum in Wash. ington after March IT. It is probable that the protocol will be ratified after having been very materially amended, says our Washington correspondent. IL would be impossible to ratify it with republican votes alone and in order to secure sufficient number of demo cratic votes it will be necessary to ma. terially modify the convention. The treaty has been reported from the com mittee on foreign relations after being radically revised. All reference to the Monroe doctrine has been stricken out. more explicit provision for the adjudt cation of claims against Santo Domin- go has been made, it has been made evident that the United States is talk. ing the proposed course only because Santo Domingo has requested it and not to insure the payment of foreign creditors. In fact, the changes al> ready made are such as to lead some democrats to believe that they can, with propriety, support the agreement without establishing dangerous prece- dent or extending, beyond the dictates of caution and common sense, the Mon- roe doctrine.

In Italy there have been two recent trials for murder. At Bergalno, a cer. tain Olivo. a man of. some social post tion, killed his wife. He admitted the soft impeachment, but pleaded that she was a very disagreeable lady, which she seemed to have been. Lom- broso. the author of "Degeneracy," was friend of Olivo's. and came for ward to defend him. He gave a precis of his book, and said that Olivo was a man whose brain was not normal, but was so constituted that the disagree able character of the wife had such an effect on it that he could not help kill ing her. There was no evidence that he had shown any other sign of weak. ness of intellect, but the jury acquitted him. It seems, says London Truth, that if he had wished to escape convic. tion on this plea. he should have agreed to post-mortem examination of his brain. on the understanding that. if this proved his absence of responsibil. ity a handsome apology should be in. scribed on his tombstone.
