Going to See ssBen-Hu -

Quite number of Bear Lake comfy
people will visit Salt Lake next week
for the express purpose of Witnessing
the production of .Ben-Hur. which
opens for weeks engagement with a
matinee at the Salt Lake Theatre ON
Christmas day.
Since the original production of BEN
Hur" in New York City few wears
ago, it has been presented in manv
foreign countries and languages, and all
have acknowledged it's superiority.
Usually one approaches play made
on really powerful novel with mis-
glvlngs and regrets, but with ben
Hur" this is different; herein lies one of
It's greatest charms. The incident of
the falling title, which led to the de-
strnction of the House of fur and tba
scattering of it's members; the descrin-
ton of the Prince of that house, en-
shaved and chained to the oar of
Roman galley; the chariot race; the
scourge of leprosy which befell the i'm
prlsoned mother and daughter and
doomed them to lifelong isolation. and
their final healing by a Divine hand.
these are events which stand paramount
IN the memory after reading General
Wailace DOCK Each and all of these
scenes depicting these events have haa,,
EN- bodied in the play and sta ged with a
masslveness and magnificence that
makes Ben -Hur" the most imnortant
spectacle in the history of the stage
world.

sANTo DOMINGO TREATY.
Evident That 1t Will Cause Lively De-
 bate I'm the Senate.

Washington, Dec. 12.--In executive session of the Senate today Senator Lodge moved to send back to the Com mittee on Foreign Relations the treaty in relation to Santo Domingo affairs Opposition developed and Senator Lodge withdrew, his motion.
 When MT Lodge was asked why he desired to have the treaty sent back to the Foreign Relations Committee, he said that 1t might be desirable to consider the amendments that had been offered in comIaittec. Several Senators said they saw no reason why the amendments could not be considered by the Senate.
 Senator Morgan said that before any amendments were voted on the treaty itself should be discussed, as it was de- slrable to have further information as to what had been done during the re- cess of the Senate. If the provisions of the treaty had been carried out be- fore the treaty had been ratified it was desirable to know why such action had been taken and by what authority. There seemed prospect of quite a lengthy debate when Senator Lodge withdrew his motion.

Another Estimate of the Cotton Crop
 Not Wanted.


 Washington, Dec. 12.--Representa- tive Loverings resolutio nintroduced in the house yesterday for the prepara- ton of a new cotton estimate to be issued January 10. 1906 has called forth number of protests by Southern mem bers. The Charlotte, N. C.. exchange board of trade sent the following dis patch to Representative Webb. from North Carolina.
 We wish to protest against any further estimate by the agricultural bureau this season as they tend to up- set business conditions and ask that you use your influence ao defeat any resolution used for this purpose.
 The Charleston Bonded Warehouse Company sent MT. Webb this telegram.
 Note proposed new Cotton Depart ment estimate January 10. Estimates of Miss Giles. Times Democrat. and De- partment ran together. Census not yet proved them incorrect. Business has been blocked all season by reports and resulting fluctuations. If new estimate by Department Is ordered, then all bus mess will be held up until new report and it's effects are over"

PHILIPPINE TAnIFF.
Hearing Before Chies of Bureau of
 InsuIar Affnirs.

AU0UtUE khtGtfas
 Washington, Dec. 12.--The Philippine Tariff Committee of the Merchants As sociation of New York appeared before Colonel Edwards, Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs at the War Depart ment today and made an argument for modification for the Philippine tariff on cotton goods so that it will be more equitable to the American exports Tn these goods. They contended that un- der the present classification, the tariff favors the Europeans.
 It is desired by the Americans that recommendations be made by the Sec retary of War to Congress for the modi- fication of the Philippine tariff to give remedy they seek.
 The, committee was composed of A. J. Cumnock. chairman; S. M Everett, T. T. Dorman, W. F. Adams. Joseph Manenies and c. H. Franklin. The committee coptended that the wording of the Philippine tariff act gave the European competitors in cotton and cotton manufactures an advance which they said had lost the American dealers abort 80 per cent of their trade with the philippines.
 Governor Wright was present at tho he9rjrR.
 ChiAf among the features of the bill pointed out by the committee through the opers'ieu of which they assert they have been at a disadvantage. is thot fixirg the tarIfr on certain textiles according to tbe number of threads. Under this they say the American tex tile iR thrown ip tbs IS cent elassifica- ton while the European textile goes into the Philippines under the 14 cent classification. They want the figures as to the number of thresds changed.

OBTAINED AT ySWORD'S POINT Japan Forced Korea to | Make Treaty.
 EMPEROR ENTERS PROTEST
 For While Herm Kingdoms Rul.r Was Prisoner. ] Appeals Made to President Roosevelt to Prevent Korea's Loss of Iden- | tity As An Independent < Nation.
EMPEROR ENTERS PROTEST
,,..a.1rrt Uno.eveIt

Washington, Dec. 12-Homer B. Hull bert, the special messenger from the Emperor of Korea, is in receipt of cablegram from Korea, in which the Emperor declares that the agreement between Korea and Japan is null and void because 1t was obtained by force. He also declares that he will never sign this agreement in the present form and that the disturbances which at- tended the. outrage" of November IF, are likely to occur again.
 Concerning the cablegram from the Emperor of Korea, Mir. Hubert said:
 This is the first genuine word that has been received from Korea giving the real attitude of that government toward the treacherous act of the Jap anese. For several weeks the Emper- or was practically in confinement and Japanese gave out the statement that an amicabie agreement had been made. This Is now proven to be untrue
 "The agreement was made under duress and the point of the sword. but the Emperor has at last succeeded In piercing the cordon of Japanese and getting information to the outer world.
 Coup Was Hastened.
 "As my mission to America IS no longer "a secret I may add that the Emperor. anticipating some such act of bad faith on the part of Japan, tried through me to forestall It by lodging an appeal with President Roosevelt. Tho object of my coming was surmised and coup in Seoul was hnstened so that it occurred on the very day of my ar- rival in Washington.
 "The Emperor felt certain that if President Roosevelt could be made aware of his sentiments the American Government would ask few questions before accepting Japan's statement at once, The authorities in Washington were almost immediately notified that this petition was to be presented to President Roosevelt, but no arrange ments were made for it's reception until after Japan's statement was accepted and acted upon.
 eThe object of this cablegram is to disavow any acauiescence In the so. called agreement and incidentally to call 1attentfou to the clause of the treaty between America and Korea in which the United States definitely promised to use its good offices in case Korea Is oppressed or wronged. The United States was in full treaty rela- tions with Korea up to the time when, upon the representations of Japan alone and apparently without consult ing Korea, this Government took the lead in Cutting of direct diplomatic relations with Korea"
