 Await instructions.

Washington. Oct. 1.-At 1O:i5 last night Acting Secretary of War Oliver received q message from President Roosevelt ordering out the army for the Cuban campaign. The war depart ment at once, and this time without possibility of d recall. wired the re- spective commanders that they should without delay start their troops for Newport News.
 The word from the president came after many hours of nerve-racking waiting on the part of the high officials Of the department. First the request from Secretary Taft. then the order to set troops in motion, then he rush. ing of messages of modification after the thought that the sending of the armv out Of the United States should be explicitly indorsed by the president, gave the war department officials the first severe chill of the Cuban cam paign-then the long wait.

 X balloon trip which Is expected to have wide results ia the acronautie world was recently made at Ph.aIe!- phia by Dr. Samuel Jottinger and Dr. T. Chalmers Fulton, both we'll known physicians of that city and graduates Of the Jefferson Medical college, says a Philadelphia special dispatch to the New York World.
 Meteorological experiments have beea made from balloons for several years but this trip was, so far as Is known the first balloon ascension ever made for the purpose of physiological re. search.
 The aeronauts landed in field four miles southwest of Media Pa. twenty miles from their starting point, shortly after [ o'clock in the evening. after be- ing up nearly five hours, The landing was without mishap CT incident, the balloon settling easily to the ground. They reached an altitude of more than three miles and say that the views above the clouds surpass description.
 They pronounce their experiments very successful and say that they have collected data which is destined to have wide influence on the aeronautical world. Experiments tried alternately oa each other at high attitudes prove the theory that tie rapid changes in al titude that attend ballooniHg are bene- fcial to nervous diseases of the eye and to respiratory diseases They also made observations as to the effects on blood circulation.
 The balloon was lent by members of the Aero club of New York. It has q capacity of 55,900 cubic feet. Pure coal gas which is much more buoyant than the commercial iIluminant of coal and water grs mixed. was used.
 Professor Charles King, Philadel phias grand old man' of acronautcs. superintendel the preparations. It took three hours to fill the bag. The two aeronauts took up a large assortment of Instruments for performing their ex- perments. The instruments for the meteorological experiments were lent by the United States weather bureau and the other set, all delicate instru ments. Is the property of medical so cieties in Philadelphia.

POPULAR VOTE
FOR SENATORS
House Committee Is in Favor
of the Proposed Amend
ment to the Constitution

WASHINGTON. April IA resolution
providing for the election Of Senators by
direct vote OF the people has been favor
ably acted upon by the House committee
on election Of President, Vice President
and Representatives in Congress.
The resolution, which was introduced
by Morris OF Nebraska, makes the term
Of members of the House four years in
stead Of two. Both changes are TO be ac-
complished by amendments TO the consti-
lEtiOn. The reason why the term Of
members should be four years is stated
TO be that no party can put its policy
into effect in two years.
The people are tired the report says,
"Cf this continuous drama, and as re-
suit are inclined 10 give no attention to
the primaries and the conventions-the
very foundation of our political system
the forum wherein the country's interests
can best be guarded and protected.
With an election every two years the
political CRATER who thrives on partisan
strife and on the nervous uncertainty con-
trolling candidates for Office is able to
live from one election 10 another by the
bocdle secured at his unholy business.
The adoption of the proposed amendment
would render il less possible for this
creature to ply his trade"
Regarding the election of Senators by
direct vote the report says:
The proposition to provide for the
election Of Senators by direct vote of the
people has been before the House and has
received favorable consideration upon
several different occasions. A proposition
TO amend the constitution, having this
object in view. has passed the House of
REPRESENTATIVES at four different times,
and each time by practically unanimous
vote

OF today's proceedings in the House of
Representatives was the speech made by
Cochran of New York. who, under an
agreement made on a previous day. was
given an hour to elucidate the subject of
general debate on appropriation bills.
In view of the announcement that Cock
ran would speak the galleries were
crowded.

the fiction Of general debate" and the
failure of members to attend the sittings
of the House while subjects covering the
widest possible latitude were being IL
Illuminated, launched out into a defense
of the Hepburn rate bill and the high
position taken by the House, not only
in the exceptional character of the legis-
lation. but in the dignified way in which
the bill passed the lower branch of Con-
gress In this connection he ridiculed the
constitutional debaters in the Senate.

SNOOT CASE

Former Secretary of Treas

WASHINGTON, April I2-Arguments
in the case of Senator Smoot were begun
today before the Senate committee on
privileges and elections, after an in
quiry extending more than three years
into his right to retain his seat Former
Secretary of the Treasury John G.. Car
hsie opened for the protestants He will
be followed by A. S. Worthington of
counsel for Smoot. The members of the
committee present were Chairman Bur
rows and Messrs. Foraker, Knox, Dol
liver, Dillingham;, Dubois, Bailey, Over
man, Frazier and Pettus
The committee room was crowded, most
of the spectators being women. Smoot
was present, as well as several promi-
nent Mormons, who have assisted in his
defense. The Utah Senator apparently
was not concerned as to the outcome of
the proceedings.
Carlisle reviewed first the testimony of
President Joseph Smith and other Nor
mon officials, to show that the first presl-
dency and the twelve apostles are a self
perpetuating body, responsible for every
thing that is done, either spiritual or
temporal Smoot's membership in this
body, asserted Carlisle. made him equally

de criticised at some length church con-
troi over candidates. of its members for
public Office, and asserted that the situa
ton is such that the politics of Utah can
be dominated by the Mormon church at
will
Carlisle contended that the Senate or
House should determine the fitness of its
members to serve, in the same manner as
if the constitutional provisions did not
exist He declared that expulsion of a
Senator cannot be made because of
something prior to the beginning of his
term; that expulsion must be for an act
committed as a member of the legisla-
tive body, and that this would require
two-thirds vote of the Senate He con-
tended that the case against Smoot is 10
disqualify him for service and that it
can be done by passing a resolution to the
effect that the Senator lacks the requisite
qualifications and the seat therefore can
be vacated by a majority vote
Members of the committee took great
interest in this argument, Messrs. Bailey.
Knox, Dillingham; and Dolliver asking
numerous questions. When Carlisle closed
ne announced that he would not attempt
to answer the arguments of Mr. Worth
ington. which will be made tomorrow at
IL o'clock.

the consideration of the entire question

against the constitutionality of the

view.

ceived than the court review suggested
in the bill.
