Attacks Senator Warren.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Feb. 9.-Wyoming
politics took on somewhat ruffied
front yesterday. as the result of a
joint resolution introduced by Demo
cratic senator. S. A. D. Keister, in the
Senate. The resolution had been pre-
pared several days in advance and it's
contents were given up to the recital
of certain charges against United
States Senator Francis e. Warren. The
resolution was offered for passage in
the Senate, but it was not read. The
clerk got no farther than the opening
sentence. when a motion was made to
lay the resolution on the table, which
was carried by vote of is to 3.
There were six charges in the reso-
luton. the first three being that Sen
ator Warren had kept Charles NJ.
Smith, his brother-in-law; Hiram Sapp,
a business associate, and Fred E. War
rem, his son, under government pay as
clerks on committees. The other
charges state that he leased certain
buildings in Cheyenne to the govern
ment, that he is connected with COM
panies which have Illegally fenced in
the public domain, and that he used
his influence to procure contract
from the government to furnish elec-
trio light at Fort d. A. Russell for a
company Of which he is president.

Points of the Decision.

Denver, Feb. 7.-Following are the
main points passed upon by the Su-
preme Court in maintaining the valid
ity of the law restoring capital pun
ishment in Colorado:
If legislative journals show affirma.
lively, either by implication or other
wise, that the provisions of the consti-
tuition with regard to the passage of
bills have not been observed a bill is
invalidated.
If legislative journals are merely ST.
len. on the question it must be pre-
sumed that the fundamental law on
the passage of bills has been COM
piled with.
The objections urged against the
validity of the bill are not supported
by the legislative journals of either
branch of the General Assembly.
While the speaker of the House tls'
tilted that the amendments of the bill
were not printed for the use of the
house. this testimony is not to be con-
sidered.

WOULD EXPEL PLATT
ON THE CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY

Mr.. Post of Michigan Files With Presi-
dent of the Senate a Petition to
Have New York Senator Expelled.
Alleges He Is Party to an illegal
Combine of Express Companies.
Washington. Feb. SC. w. Post o
Battle Creek. Michigan, who has inter-
ested himself largely in the establish
ment OF parcels post system, to-day
filed with President pro TEN Frye of
the Senate a petition for the expulsion
OF Senator Thomas c. Platt from the
Senate.
The petition is based on the asser-
ton that Mr.. Platt as executive officer
of the United States Express Company
is party to conspiracy to maintain
identical rates among express compa-
nies for articles shipped over their
lines, and he asserts that Platt has de-
clared that he will oppose all legisla-
ton injuriousy affecting this COM
pany's interests.
Mr.. Post charges the six express
companies of the United States with
conspiring to violate the antitrust act
by monopolizing the express business
of the country and fixing the rates. He
alleges that by reason of unlawful
combination the express companies
have maintained charges for all the
different kinds of business far in eX.
cess of reasonable rates, and they have
been collecting and are now annually
collecting from the people of the
United States, and from the banks,
trust companies and other financial in
Btitutions and from publishers of books
and others having frequent occasion to
require the service of express compa-
nies, hundreds of thousands of dollars
over and above just compensation for
the service which they render"
He then mentions the Post check
currency bills which have for several
years been before Congress, and says
tnat by the plans proposed in them
much of the business of sending small
sums of money through the mails,
which is now transacted by the eX-
press companies, would be taken from
them to their injury, but the benefit of
the people of the United States and the
government, which itself pays many
thousands of dollars every year to the
express companies for services, which
it is one of the objects of such bills to
render unnecessary"
Mr.. Post charges that in his capacity
of president of the United States EX-
press Company, Senator Platt is par
Lcipating in the conspiracy charged.

SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Recommends Thorough Sur.
vey Of the PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The President
has sent a special message to Congress
which is, in part, as follows:
Circumstances have placed under
the control of this government the
Philippine archipelago. The islands Of
that group present as many interesting
and novel questions with respect to
their ethnology, their fauna and flora
and their geology and general re-
sources as any region of the world. At
my request the National Academy of
Sciences appointed a committee to con-
slider and report upon the deslrability
of instituting scientific explorations of
the Philippine islands"
This report and the draft of bill
providing for surveys accompany the
message.
The President further says:
The scientific surveys which should
be taken go far beyond any surveys or
explorations which the government of
the Philippine islands, however. COM
pletely selfsupporting, could be eX-
pected to make. The surveys, while of
course beneficial to the people of the
Philippine islands, should be under
taken as a national work for the in
formation not merely of the people of
the Philippine islands, but of the peo-
pie of this country and of the world.
Il recommend, therefore, that pro-
vision be made for the appointment of
board of surveys to superintend the
national surveys and explorations to
be made in the Philippine islands, and
that appropriation be made from time
to time to meet the necessary expenses
of such investigation. 1t is not prob
able that the survey would be complet-
ed in less period than that Of eight or
ten years, but it is well that it should
be begun in the near future.
He wishes the survey to be consid-
cred as a work in the interest of sci
ence and not as an expense of the
Philippine government.

Lesson for Parents.

The arrest of six small boys, rang
ing from eight to twelve years of age,
on a charge of robbing freight a + at
he Pennsylvania depot, should be a
lesson to many parents in this city.
Children of that age are too young to
be roaming the streets at any time.
But on Sunday afternoon. when the
little fellows were caught carrying
away their plumber, they should either
have been in Sunday school or else in
their yards close to the house where
their parents knew exactly where they
were. The disregard shown for Sun
day by the children of this city is
alarming and it is largely the fault of
the parents. When mothe rs and
fathers allow their boys to rum wild

robbing freight cars and doing

London, May % 12:35 p. m.)-Up to noon to-day the foreign office was still without news of the naval battle from any British source in the far Cast. The Japanese legation was similarly with out news from It's government.
 Reports are current on the stock ex- change purporting to be from authori- tative private sources to the effect that Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's flagship, Kniaz Souvaroff. was among the yes. sels sunk and that the Japanese are following up the Russians and picking off their ships one by one ! Operators on the stock exchange were cheerful over the far eastern news, hoping that the battle might prove decisive and lead to peace Con sols went up b-18 and Japanese bonds rose from ? to 31a points. In Russians no business was transacted. Nominal ly prices were unchanged. Americans were 1 to 1h points over parity. Or ders from Paris forced the prices high. CT.

DEATH FOLLOWS
This Wedding Celebration Yesterday 1t New
 York.

New York, May 29.-In the presence of party of friends who had spent most of the night celebrating her mar riage, which took place yesterday, Mrs Della Ahern early to-day lost her life by drowning Her husband. who was within few feet of the spot where the tragedy occurred, was ignorant of his brides plight until 1t was too late to save her life.
 Mrs Ahern, who was 30 years old, was with her husband, Captain Patrick Ahern, and party of friends on Cap tain Ahern's barge, which was an- chored in the Hudson river. The fes- ttvities continued until early to-day, and when the visitors made prepara- ton to leave the barge 1t was intensely dark. As she stood at the side of the vessel bidding her friends good night. Mrs Ahen missed her flooding and fell into the river. Michael Creegan, who was standing beside her, saw the woman fall and at once Jumped to her assistance. The splash made by the two. bodies was almost simultaneous, but when Captain Ahern and a police man looked into the river only Creegan was in sight. They quickly pulled him out of the water, but when he was able to tell them the reason for his plunge the woman's body could not be found.
