| questions likely to arise during the
present session. Two resolutions Were
adopted at a caucus continuing five
hours, which the Democrats assert not

treaty. but will furnish the precedent
for demanding united party vote on
all questions that may be considered
partisan in their character, when two
thirds Of the Democratic senator's SO
decided. The resolutions, both Of which
were carried by more than two-thirds
Of those present, follow:
Resolved. That the Senate ought not
to advise and consent to the treaty be-
tween the United States and the re-
public of Santo Domingo, now pending
before the Senate.
Resolved, That if two-thirds Of this
caucus shall vote in favor Of the fore
going resolution, it shall be the duty
of every Democratic senator to vote
against the ratification of the said
treaty.
Represented in the caucus were &c Of
the 80 minority members. Those who
were absent were Berry, Clark of Mon

REV. w. S. RAINSFoRD RESIGNS.
III Health Makes Him ReIinquish His
New York Passionate.

New York. Feb. 4.-The Rev. DR..
William S. Rainsford, for % years
rector of st. Georges Protestant Epis-
cOpal church. Stuyvesant Square, this
city has resigned the retorship owing
to continued ill-health and the Rev.
Hugh Birckhcad. the assistant rector,
has been elected by the vcstry in DIR.
Rainsford's place.
The resignation of Dr. Rainsford
was in the form of a letter to j. Pier
pont Morgan. senior warden of the
church. from Cairo, Egypt, dated Jan.
I last.
While the state of DIR. Rainsford $
health which has kept him from ac-
tive duty about a year was well known
to the parishioncrs. the announcement
was great surprise and created a
mild ripple OF excitement and much
whispered comment in the congrega-
ton.
Mr.. Rirckhead. the new rector of ST.
Georges. has been assistant rector
several years. He is but % years of
age.
DIR. Rainsford is one of the most
widely known Episcopal clergymen in
the country. being noted both as a
preacher and as a writer. and has
been very active in philanthropic work.
His health began to break under the
strain of his labors something more
than year ago. He ceased active
work about that time and has been
abroad almost ever since. trying to re-
cover his lost health.
DR.. Rainsford became rector Of st.
George parish in 1888. He was then
80 years Of age. When he assumed
charge the church was practically
without a congregation. He lays down
his charge leaving congregation
numbering 1000 souls and an endow-
ment fund increased by 100000. st.
Georges at present is one of the most
prosperous churches in the city ana
one Of the wealthiest.

cate her, and now appeals to the news
papers for assistance.
They were married in Boston about
seven months ago, and lived happily
there for Il time. later moving to Ken
nebunk. Each had been married be-
fore. Mrs. Roberts having a daughter,
who accompanied her to the Kenne-
bunk home, and Mr.. Roberts having
two daughters. one Of whom was mar
ried and the other of whom continues
to live in another city.
Life in Kennebunk was happy, but
Mr.. Roberts got out of work. and
shortly before Christmas he left IN
search of a job. He wrote at regular
intervals and informed his wife that
lie would come home for the Christ
mas holiday. When he arrived there.
the Saturday before Christmas. it was
to learn that his wife had left the
previous night. saying nothing except
that she was going away to care for
an old woman. Since that time he
has mad no tidings from her.
He has written to her family in Mil
lers Falls. Mass, who are well to do.
to friends in various places, and has
engaged others to look for her. but in
vain.
Mrs. Roberts is the a. khter of Ben
jamin Page of Millers Falls, has prop
erty in her own right. and has no
known reason for leaving her home.
She has. however. been subject to fits
of melancholia at times. and it is
thought that she may have wandered
away in one of these spells Her hus-
band is willing TO spend his last cent
to bring her back to his home.

ment to vote once arrived at there will
be no doubt that a vote will be secured.
The bill will be amended somewhat be-
fore a vote is taken.
Much interest is manifested in the
approaching contest in the Senate over
the statehood question. Senator Bever-
idge. VINO will again have charge Of the
bill, is hopeful of securing q COMPARE
lively early vote, but many Of his COL
leagues fail to agree with him on that
point. The critical point of controversy
will be the Foraker amendment giving
the Arizona people the privilege of
voting ON the question Of admission. 1t
is understood that the Democratic SEN
atOrs will be almost a unit in support
Of this amendment and that it will al
SO secure a number of Republican woes.
Just how many Republican support
ers there may be is not known and I'M
til there is definite information on that
point the opponents of the bill will not
agree to let a vote be taken. If the
showing should be favorable to the
amendment, the friends Of the bill may
not press the vote; but in view of the
fact that they would even in that event
be sure OF the admission Of Oklahoma,
they might not be so determined as
their opponents. They will probably
be reported a few days later. The pro-
vision in this bill which Will be most
debated is that relating to the abroga-
ton of the S-hour law on the canal
zone. AS the bill carries the remainder
of the deficiency for the canal asked by
the war department, which was cut of
in the first bill passed. it is believed
canal matters in general will again be
the subject of considerable talk in the
Senate. There is no such emergency as
when the first canal appropriation
passed and consequently senators will
feel free to give as mu.h attention to
the administration of the canal as they
choose
Senator Bacon will revive the Moroc-
can question in a speech on Tuesday

Chairman Hepburn. in charge of the

! of Representatives, Is unable to see
the end of the discussion of that meas
ure. Under the special order it has
the right of way until disposed of Mr.
Hepburn has Il long list of Republic
cans who are anxious to be heard, and
Mr.. Adamson. controlling the time or
the minority side, says there are Sc
Democrats who wish to be heard in
favor of the measure. Speaker Cam
non is inclined to let the debate run
and estimates that it will be Wednes-
day or Thursday before the last
speech is delivered and the vote re-
corded on the measure.
AS soon as this is accomplished the
pension appropriation bill, reported
from committee last week, will be
taken up. This bill carries a total OF
$40, 245.oO0 to pay the pensions of
veterans for the year 1t is generally
disposed OF in the shortest time of any
of the annual supply measures. but
this year it contains a provision which
virtually makes a statute of the Presi-
dents order of last year making age
a general evidence of disability.
There is said to be decided opposi-
ton to enacting the executive order
into law. AS the provision is without
question new legislation" ands ubject
to a point of order under the rules of
the House, it is not unlikely that a
rule will be brought in when the bill
is taken up which will provide that
the amendment shall be in order.
The Notifications appropriation bill
Will be reported to the House from the
appropriations committee today 1t
will be considered as soon as the PEN
sion bill is out of the way. This bill
is short measure and carries this
year between s6.OO0,OOO and $1,000, 900.
There are said to be no matters of
legislation incorporated in it which
will cause serious discussion.
the friends in the Senate of the

this week vate on that measure and
the understanding is that as soon as it
is disposed of the statehood bill will
