| the Senate committee had doubled
the amount for coal. He asked IL
these items had any reference to the
gathering of large fleets, as the Pres
ident was in the habit of doing, or
| to the forthcoming Exposition at
| jamestown. Senator Hale replied
that the expenses of the navy for am
munition in times of peace were
large. He did not believe that any

show than anything else.

tanned that the annual consumption
OF powder by the army and navy was
about 100000 pounds, that it cost
the Government 75 cents a pound

facturers of Kansas City, Peoria, ILL.,,
and York, Pa.
Senator Carmack offered an amend
ment appropriating 100000 for a
castiron and steel foundry at the

STEAMER SUNK BY CRUISER.
Accident In The Mississippi River Al
New Orleans.

New Orleans (SpeciaD In hazy
weather the French cruiser Kleber
rammed and sank the American fruit
steamer Hugoma in the Mississippi
River, just off New Orleans.
Captain Lewis, of the Hugoma,
said that seven japanese coal passers
and firemen were drowned.
James O'Neal, of New York, suf-
fered broken leg from the impact.
The cruiser was slightly damaged.
The Kleber, just arriving from
Havana, was rounding a sharp turn
and the Hugoma, drifting with the
six-mile eddying current turned di-
rectly into the man-of-war's path.
Captain Lewis of the Hugoma says
that his signal was mistaken by the
warship. The latter struck the fruit
ship amidships on the port side,
nearly cutting the vessel In twain,
and within five minutes the Hugo
ma plunged to the bottom in more
than 100 feet OF water
The Hugoma was bound for Porto
Rican ports with cargo OF rice,
-four and ties. The vessel was of
small tonnage and was built in 1901
at Wyandotte, Mich. 1t was owned
by the New York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company.

Washington, d. G. Especially -
Mr.. Reed Smoot, the senator from
Utah, for whose expulsion from the
United States Senate ten millions of
American women have labored for
four years, sparing neither time, eff
fort nor money, was confirmed in
his seat by the votes of Republican
members. The resolution declaring
him not entitled to his seat was lost
by a vote of AZ to %, a majority
of IA. The result was heard in the
galleries, crowded with women, in
absolute silence. Evidently they
were mindful of the stern admonition
of Vice President Fairbanks given to
them when they had applauded Sena-
tor Burrows address urging Mr..
Smoot's defeat than any manifesto
tion from the galleries would be
punished by having all the galleries
cleared. Possibly they felt, in the
bitterness of their disappointment,
some slight measure of satisfaction
that the majority was, after all, only
IA.
For more than week they must
have known that they were to be
beaten, and that for once in Ameri-
can politics the voice of the Ameri-
can women was drowned by the de-
mands of politics. 1t was believed
that Mr.. Smoot's majority would be
anywhere from 1 5 to 20, but at the
very last moment, three Republican
senators changed their minds
Messrs.. Clapp, of Minnesota; Kilt
redge, of South Dakota, and Hemen-
way, of Indiana, who had been
counted among the Smoot followers
voted not only that he was not en-
titled to his seat, but that he should
have been expelled. Had they voted
with their party, as was the genera
expectation, Mr.. Smoot would have
retained his seat by majority of 20
Immediately after the announce
ment of the vote Mr.. Lodge moved
an executive session, and the CALLER
les were cleared. The ladies found
themselves in the corridors, where
they were free to express their in
dignation, which they did.
With Tact And Diplomacy.
Mr.. Smoot, is must be said, actet
with the tact and diplomacy which
has helped him so much to his vic
tory. Had the Senate voted fou
years ago, when he presented him
self at the bar or the Senate, h
would have been overwhelmingly,
defeated.

BRANDS PLAN WINS OUT
French Chamber Of Deputies
Indprses II.

Paris (By Cable) The Ministry,
President Fallieres in the chair,
unanimously approved the agreement
between Education Minister BRAND
and Premier Clemenceau relative to
the form of the leases OF the churches
to the parish priests, and the Pre-
mier supported M. Brands declara-
tion before the Chamber of Deputies.
which by a vote of 3S9 to SS In
dorsed the governments policy.
NJ. Meunier, Radical Republican,
at the opening of the debate denied
the existence Of a conspiracy to over
throw the ministry He said he
voiced the disappointment of all Re-
publicans at the fact that the Gov
ernment had seen ut to give salts
faction to the bishops ultimatum."
Continuing, M. Meunier said he
was opposed to any recognition of
the Catholic hierarchy, and read ex-
tracts from NJ. Clemenceau's speeches
and writing during the last two
years to show that the Premier al
ways had been opposed to the policy
advocated by M. BRAND. and which
the Premier now fathered.
Opposes Cancellation,
The deputy concluded by saying:
Worship is free and the churches
are open. That is sufficient. No
conciliation between the republic and
Rome is possible"
! NJ. Meunier's statement was APP
plauded by the members of the left
party.
NJ. Guieysse, Radical Republican,
| followed on the same lines, express
ing regert at the fact that the gov
ernment had not recognized the cul-
tural associations of the Independent
Catholics.
After denunciation of the gov
ernment's policy by M. Allard, Social
list, M. BRAND mounted the tribune
and in an eloquent speech, which
drew repeated rounds of applause
from the center and even from the
right, maintained that the govern
ment had not and would not abandon
its conciliatory policy. The regime
of the separation of church and state
should not be made a cloak for relig
oius prosecution. In spite of the
intrigues of its enemies, the govern
ment proposes to fight out the is
sues on that line and to the end.
Then, turning to NJ. Allard anc
the members of the extreme left, he
bitterly reproached them for want
ing to make war on millions of thei
fellow-countrymen." He said it wa:
the duty of Republicans and free
thinkers alike, to respect the con
sciences of the Catholics and to dc
nothing to invade their liberties.
"For Liberty For All"
He added, still addressing thu
members of the extreme left:
Your conception of the separa
tion of church and state is not ours
We stand for liberty for ALL"
M. Clemenceau, who was sitting
below his colleague, occasionally ap
plauded and interrupted him will

Mr.. BRAND continued:
