Washington, Feb. 5.--The senate to-
former Secretary of State Richard Oh
ney as a member Of the board of re-
gents Of the Smithsonian institution.
Patterson caused sensation by In
PRODUCING a resolution relative to the
rights Of senators involving upon
treaties. Pattersons resolution re-
cited that the action of the democratic
caucus In debating to senators how
they should vote, was plain violation
of the spirit and intent Of the con-
stitution of the United States: that
each senator was entitled to one vote.
and any attempt to coerce him was an.
invasion of the rights Of the state; that
any senator who permits himself to
be so coerced weakens and degrades
his state; that for any senator to vote
otherwise than as his sense Of duty
dictates, degrades his high office, and
assails the dignity and standing Of
the senate.
The resolution was listened to with
great interest by the senators.
Lodge had prepared a resolution
similar to that of Patterson, declaring
that treaty like the Dominican,
should not be made subject to party
action, but withheld it when he heard
that Patterson had proposed resolu-
ton. This he heard from the lips Of
the Colorado senator, who claimed the
privilege of presenting the matter.
Lodge conceded the superiority. Of
Patterson's claim.
Tillman presented and the senate
adopted a resolution calling upon the
postmaster general for information as
to the number of postal clerks killed
i'll railroad accidents during the pass5
five years. also asking how many steel.
cars are now used In the postal SER
vice, and whether the fatalities have
been so great in those as in other cars.
Tillman said he had noticed fre-
quent fatalities to mail clerks in rail-
road accidents, and that he wanted to
ascertain whether more security for
them could not be secured by means OF
stronger mail cars.
Patterson gave notice that he would
discuss the resolution tomorrow.

her husband.
Representatives Of the Countess and
Count De Castellane appeared before
the Judge, who. according to the
French law, endeavored to arrange a
conciliation before allowing a definite

judges efforts were not successful and
that the suit will proceed, but owing

possible, and her removal from the

Justice of Guardian to His Wards.
Washington, Feb. 5-Sesretary Taft
today was heard before the senate
committee on Philippines in favor Of
the Philippines tariff bill. The obliga-
tions of the United States to the island
provided a theme for an earnest ap-
peal, made with an emphasis that he
has not ordinarily exhibited in ad-
dressing committees of congress. He
asked the committee what congress
had done for the Philippines and an
swered that people cannot be fed on
constitutional principles; that Filipi-
nos cannot be uplifted by this coun-
try unless it was willing to aid them
in increasing their productive condi-
tions. The islands are being used for
the purpose of Improving business in
the United States, he declared, and he
asked where was the justice a guar
dian should show TO his wards.
