TALKED ON TREATIES.

Washington, Feb G.-Tle senate did not have an opportunity today to hear the discussion of MT. Patterson's reso- lutiOn on the democratic caucus as was partially promised yesterday. but gave the entire day to review of the pre- negatives of the senate in the matter of framing of treaties.
 The question was raised by MT. Pa con in a speech on his resolution for information concerning the Algecirds conference. He talked for almost three hours and was followed by Mr. Spoon CT. who spoke for considerably more than an hour. Both speeches were in terspersed with debate largely be- tween Messrs Bacon and Spooner and there were two or three very sharp clashes between them.
 MT. Patterson yielded the floor at the beginning of the days sitting to MT. Bacon. giving notice that he would speak tomorrow. MT. Lodge gave notice of a speech on Monday on the railroad rate bill.

No. was about on time, but at Bridal Veil the engine broke down and an effort was being made to repair the break. Brakemen were sent out with the customary sig nals, but through some mishap the heavy train was not stopped in time and crashed into the rear car of the standing train.

The investigation to be of the 5ame Character as That of the SIOcum Horror.

Washington, Feb 6-By direction of the president, a searching investiga- tion will be made by a special com mittee into the disaster to the steam ship Valencia, which occurred recently off the coast of Vancouver island. This investigation will be independent Of that now being conducted by inspec- tors of the steamboat inspection serv1 ice, and was ordered after hearing representations from Senator Piles and Representative Humphries of Wash ington. who informed the president that the inquiry by the steamboat inspec- tors would not meet the present de- mands. President Roosevelt took up the matter immediately with Secretary Metcalf and it was at first intended that the board which was, investigat- ing the cause leading up to the Slocum disaster should make the inquiry into that of the Valencia. That was found impracticable.
 Secretary Metcalf then announced that the commission would consist of Assistant Secretary Lawrence O. Nur- ray, of the department of commerce and labors Herbert Knox Smith. as sistant deputy commissioner of cor porations, both Of whom were members of the Slocum board and Idptdin W-m T.

such wonderful control of her voice. such husbanding of her strength. that 1er efforts do not seem to tire nor in the slightest degree affect her clear tones, even unto the final curtain More than that when the last notes of Don Pasquale died away last night and the curtain fell amid a re-echoing ap- plause, not soul made a move to go. IL was a unanimous request for an other glimpse of the famous little ar tist; another moment of raptur- ous enjoyment of her magnificent voice. And it was not a vain request fer in answer to the encore she again appeared, singing a selection in her mother tongue, "Tosti's Good Bye And never was it more sweetIy sung notwithstanding a first effort was in terrupted by a nervous child. wnen the artist stopped until the little one was taken out. Then sine began again and it seemed that hardly a breath was drawn during it's entire rendition. The vast audience sat spellbound until the last note had died away. then burst forth with a clapping of hands that called for still another appearance and final adieus
 But Miss Nielsen is by no means the entire company. The other four char acters are equally as necessary in the portrayal of the little story and they are in the hands of artists we'll equip ped both by natural voice, and mu- sical education as well as having an unusual degree of histrionic talent Don PasqUale seems to have been created especially for the purposes of Alfonso Rosa, who is a comedian of surpassing excellence and though many could not follow the words Of his foreign tongue, his actions most fittingly translated them. Filippo Fra todi as Malatesta displayed a charming voice and manner while Francesca Pratt will be long remembered here for his beautiful tenor, so well dis played in the part of Ernesto. in whose interest the plot of the little story was conceived. The other character. Fran cesco Articci was no less well handled but was the minor incident of the per formance.

MUSICAL BANQUET

The Greatest Audience Ever Gathere d
 at the Doris.

Every seat was taken iE the Doris opera house last night a number of chairs were placed in the aisles and many felt it a privilege even to stand and enjoy the delightful music of Don Pasquale as it was interpreted by Al ice Nielsen and her talented support, under the direction of MT. Henry Rus sell. It was the first time a Phoenix audience was ever permitted to listen
 to an entire performance of Italian opera in the tongue for which the mu- sic was written. except in instances of grand opera selections which at best are but fragments of a musical story
 which if one likes at all, ne wants to hear in it's entirety. But last night there was a presentation of the entire mus
 ical comedy. by incomparable talent
 with appropriate stage settings. beau tiful costumes and in an atmosphere of sublime appreciation. There are few
 musically inclined people in Phoenix,
 or for that matter in the whole valley
 who were not of the assemblage that on every fitting occasion emphasized it's delight at the entertainment
 Alice Nielsen, the second Patti the beautiful little American girl who has mastered her art to a degree of per lection that has been seldom equalled, and who has received the grateful ac- knowledgement of an admiring public on both sides of the water, was the center of attraction continually for there are but brief interims when @ae does not hold the stage either as the chief singer or as an important character in the dialogue.

His assertion caused much excitement among the attorneys for the packers, and they objected to the statement of the attorney general, as being improper before the jury. The letter was not offered in evidence, but was marked for identification.
 But three witnesses were on the stand during the day, and their evil dence was not of general interest, re lating as it did entirely to the manner in which the agents of the government examined the books of Nelson Morris and company and of the Fairbanks Canning company.
 The afternoon session of the court was taken up by the reading to the court of the Garfield report on the packing inquiry.
