CHURCH INTERFERENCE
4 Shoot Witness Says There Is Very
 Little in Utah.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Judge Wm. McCarty, Of the supreme court of Utah. as a witness called for the defense in the Smoot case today, declared that there was a tacit understanding ill Utah that one senator should be nor mon and one gentle. He said the gen tiles realized that if the Mormons should unite they could control and keep the gentiles off the ticket and therefore the gentiles were apprehen- sive until they knew whether they were to get the Mormon support. The judge said it was his opinion that too much importance was attacked to the church as a political factor and that as matter of fact there was little in reference.

What Mir. Simmons Thinks
 Arizona Ought to Be
JOINTURF BILL DEBATE
nr. Hepburn Believes ThAg the Policy of Closing the Door of the Senate Against the West by Doubling up the Territories Is Short Sighted.

Washington, Jan. 16.-By a vote of 30 to 42 the senate today decided to consider the cross town street railway bill for Washington, but the measure soon gave place to the statehood bill. That measure was discussed for three hours by Mir Simmons of North COro- lima and MT. Hepburn, both of whom favored the elimination of Arizona from the bill.
 MT. Simmons spoke against the statehood bill in it's present form. He made a plea against thE proposed state of Arizona on the ground of area, say ing that the average distance from counties included in the present terri tory of Arizona to Santa Fe, the pro posed new capital was 500 miles He contended that as shown in the division of the territory of Dakota into two states, the tendency was toward small CT instead of larger states and eX- pressed the opinion that the population west of the Mississippi would be three times as great as that east of the river.
 He contended that the people of Ari- zona were in every way capable of mak- ing a state for themselves and pointed out the marked difference in races, re- ligion and draining of the people in Arizona as compared with those of New Mexico which should, he said. en- title them to separate statehood.
 MT. Hepburn said he would, if neces- sary. agree to the consolidation of Oklahoma and Indian territory but he expressed Q doubt of the wisdom of even that part of the bill, because of his conviction that the population of the Indian territory would become a political plaything, an element to be traded to do business with" As for the effort to unite the other two ter ritories he could see no reason for it except for a shOrtsighted desire to shut the door of the senate against the west. Mir. Hepburn had not concluded when at 4:53 D. m. the senate went into ex- ecutive session and adjourned five minutes later.
 The senate in the executive session confirmed the nomination of Vespasian Warner, Of Illinois to become commis- sioner of pensions.

Criticism, however, is generally len tent. there being a tendency to regard General Nogi's tributes to General StoessePs courageous defense as much in his favor and the inclination is to credit General StoesseI with the l1nowl- edge that the morale of his garrison was shattered.
 The Daily Telegraph's Kobe cores pendent gives a somewhat theatrical account of the final meeting between the generals at Port Arthur prior to the surrender, which account was ob- tained from the Russian generals at Nagasaki. According to this account twelve generals assembled at General Stoessel's house. Asked the reason for two additional vacant chairs, General Saoessel burst into tears and explain ed that they formerly belonged to the beloved departed generals, Fock anG Kondradontke, and having paid tri- bute to the gallant dead, General Stoessel abruptly. exclaimed: Well, gentlemen, I presume We will fight til the end.''
 The discussion which ensued show co. tnaI the OnlN dtltIlldllNGS NGA C pronpt surrender or speedy annihila- ton Then champagne glasses were filled and the emperor's health was solemnly honored. Meanwhile the ar tillery thundered outside and as sev- eral shells burst in the vicinity, Gen eraI Stoessel ordered the removal of the emperor's photograph, the sole adornment of the walls. remarling, Tt is not right that his majesty should witness such proceedings"
 The decision to capitulate being unanimously reached, each general signed the record, many sobbing aloud Finally General Stoessel stood at at tencon, silently offering prayer brought his sword to salute, and shout ed. Long live the czar'' while the others repeated in chorus and the council ended. It is said that Madame Stcessel seemed stunned and cried aloud when she heard the decision. It is added that acute estranGement eX- ists between General Stoessel and his men owing to the arrangement of fav- orable terms for the officers but not for the men.

BURTON ASKED 10 ORESIGN
4 Resolution to That Effect Before
 the Kansas Legislature.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 16.-A resolution asking Senator Burton to resign was introduced in the Kansas house and senate this afternoon. Cyrus Leland, leader of the deposed republican fac tion of Kansas and member of the house, is the author of the resolution. The matter will come up for consid- eration tomorrow.
 An effort will be made to table it on the ground that the case of Unit ed States Senator Burton is vet be- fore the courts, and therefore is not a subject for legislative action. The Leland resolution recites tr1at the de cision of the United States supreme court today in the Burton case de- prives Burton of his usefulness as a of the state of Kansas i1 the United States senate.

A PERFUME THAT SMELLS.

The Awful Odor That Comes From
Pure Altar of Roses.
The perfumer took from his desk a
small flask Of copper.
I'm TASKS like this altar Of roses
comes to U.S." he said. "Attar of roses
is worth from $40 to $25 an ounce, &C.
cording to the market. This flask is
empty now, but in it a little odor still
lingers."
The visitor smiled delightedly. He
had never smelt pure altar of roses be
fore. Now he unscrewed the stopper
and, closing his eyes, with an ecstatic
look he applied his nostrils to the flask.
But only for an instant. Then he
threw back his head, twisting his
features into a grimace of disgust, and
he exclaimed:
Garbage! Bone yards! Glue fac
tories!"
The perfumer laughed.
"All essential oils smell like that" he
said. "Yet no good perfume can be
made without them"
He took from a shelf a cut glass jar
filed with a thick. yellowish oil that
looked like petroleum partly refined.
"In this JAR" he said, "there are forty
ounces Of pure altar Of roses worth
over $500. You know how the altar
smells alone. Now watch me make q
rich perfume by adding things to it."
He put a few drops of the altar into
a vial. He filed the vial with spirits
of musk, another of orris, then one Of
neroli, one of rose, of violet, of orange,
Of vanilla, and, finally, the oil Of cloves
and bergamot.
There" he said, "smell that. Isn't
it exquisitey"
"Exquisite!" said the visitor.
well, without its foundation Of the
malodorous and costly altar of roses II
wouldn't smell any better than a plate
Of soup."-New York Herald

or the strange scenes and customs Of
the Basque country a traveller writes:
II was struck by the way the women
walked and carried themselves. A fat
old I'M with a huge tray on her
head walked along at a swinging pace,
shouting her ware meanwhile at the
top Of her voice. 1 saw a woman car
rying on her head first Of all a large
tray of fruit Qts size a be imagined
when I tell you that it was afterward
her stalD. On the top of this were a
basket of washing and q big umbrella
to be used to cover the stall. Then in
her left hand she carried a supple
mentary stall, and by the other she
led u little child which could just reach
the mothers hand by holding its own
up as high as it could stretch.
II was waiting once at a little way
side inn in the village of Ascain when
I saw an old lady, followed by two
great fat white p'~-. They all three
waddled over to tAN .iliage pump. and
lucu, procuring SOLGc htISE III d pull,
the old lady proceeded TO wash her
charges. She cleaned them most as
siduously-eyes, ears, tail, back, hind
quarters and feet.
"There is a dignity Of carriage about
all the women in this country. I fan
cied it might be due to the fact that
formerly, before the Code Napoleon
came into operation, the law obliged
the irstborn, whether boy Or girl, to
inherit the patrimony and continue the
head of the family, the husband taking
the wife's name when the inheritor was
a woman, thus giving the woman a
perfect equality from her birth. The
matrons are not less beautiful than the
younger women.
"Quite unlike any other language is
that of the Basques. Although when
hearing the people talk a Spanish sound
seems to be occasionally emitted, it is
not really at all like Spanish. I was
amused to find that mo- is tess' in
Basque, and when I asked what yes
was I thought at first the answer was
ma which would have been very Curl
