A COMPROMISE IN SIGHT
A substitute Resolution on Browns
vile ARRAY Offeres by Foraker.
Simply Provides for Committee to
Ascertain the Facts and Will
Probably Be Adopted

Washington, Jan. 17.--Senate leaders
Wednesday night regarded the end
of the Brownsville discussion in sight
and 1t is confidently expected that
a compromise resolution offered by
Senator Foraker just before the close
of Wednesdays session will be adopt
ed
Mr.. Foraker offered a substitute for
all his previous resolutions on the
Brownsville affair, as follows:
Resolved, that the committee on
military affairs is hereby authorized
and directed by subcommittee OF 9th
erwise to take and have printed the
testimony for the purpose of ascer-
tanning all the facts with reference TO
or connected with the ARRAY at
Brownsville, Tex, on the night OF Aug
ust IS, 1906. Said committee is author
lied to send for persons and papers,
TO administer oaths, to sit during the
sessions of the senate, and If deemed
advisable, at Brownsville or elsewhere;
the expenses of the Investigation to
be paid out of the contingent fund OF
the senate"
The language of this provision is
satisfactory to Senator Lodge and 9TH
eri supporters of the administration
in the matter of the discharge of the
negro troops, and it is believed by
senator's that it will be quite unani-
mously accepted.
The feature of the debate was the
arraignment by Senator Carmack OF
republican senators who have criti-
cised the president for his action IN
the Brownsville matter. He regarded
it ~as an attempt to "dethrone' the
president as the leader of the party
and declared that either the president
must be renominated or the platform
on which he stood returned to the
democrats

murrage convention in Chicago, Tues
day told the house committee on inter-

Plan to Have New State of Oklaho-
Z. ma Assume Control of In
dian Coal Properties.
MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS
In Order to Eliminate Federal Control
1t Is Proposed to Sell School
Land and Purchase Segre-
gated Lands.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan 19.--The special
committee of the Oklahoma consti-
tutional convention on segregated coal
and asphalt lands in the Indian terri
tory Friday morning made their hnal
report to the convention in the form
of congressional memorial notifying
congress and President Roosevelt that
the state of Oklahoma desired to open
negotiations with the federal govern
meIt and at an early date purchase
the lands.
The committee has been in confer
ence with several of the officials or
the Choctaw and Chickasaw govern
ments and are of the opinion that the
lands can be purchased for about Slo,-
000,O 900. The lands embrace the extent
of one of the most valuable mineral
deposits in the southwest and the
state proposes state ownership and
state operation of the industries. There
are in all Oklahoma school lands val
ued at S20000,000 and it Is proposed
to sell these to the lessees and use the
iiUlGy III lilC pun SiooO VI SiiN "NEo-
gated coal and asphalt lands from the
Indian tribes. 1t is then proposed 10
sell the surface lands of the segregated
belt and reserve the mineral proper
ty as a permanent and protected
school fund.
The convention has ordered the
appointment of commission on the
segregated lands with orders to act
OH behalf of the new state to open
formal negotiations with the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw governments re-
lative to the same. The convention
looks with disfavor upon federal con-
troll within the borders of the state.
The constitutional convention Fri
day morning took up the adoption OF
the initiative and referendum Sever
al sections were adopted and it is APP
parent that the new state Will nave
practically the same law as is in OPP
GRAFTON in the state of Oregon.

SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by
French Bigamist.

At Versailles. France, recently
baker was tried on charge of polyg-
amy, having married five women,
who are living and undivorced. The
pentagamst's defense was that he
lad not married the women; they had
married him. When they proposed
he had not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim of the stronger wills OF his
successive spouses. OF the five wives
three appeared as witnesses, but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was topper Of whom
they were glad to get rid. He was
acquitted--on what ground does not
appear AS all the years in which
the multiplex husband took wives
we're leap years except 1881, in which
1t would seem that in four out OF
the five cases the women had the
right to propose. But the man had
the right, even in the leap years, to
decline, and it was up to him 4. least
to explain to his fair suitors t'at he
was engaged. To. establish ths IN
ciple that man is not respoI stole
for the number Of his wives u,,.less
he himself does the counting, would
be plainly against public policy II

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores--Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraaed--Cu.
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl one year and
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He SAID she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since Ii was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. A, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 8. Well. that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. L saw one Of the Cud-
cura advertisements In the paper and
thought we would try the Cutscura
Treatment, so went and purchased
a set Of Cutlcura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week oil sores had
disappeared. or course it could not
restore the evcsight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time | am confident
that It would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity of the
blood as C1ticura Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

well filled with tourists, and, accord
ing to this correspondent no doubt
many of them were caught in the
falling brick work and buried in the
debris. Fire broke out Immediately
after the crash at three separate
points. The fire department station
was wrecked. rendering resistance
to the flames impossible. The con.

comprising about a square mile. All
