THE DAY IN CONGRESS
THE SENATE.

Washington, January 7. - President
Roosevelts dismissal of the negro troops
was again the subject of contention in
the Senate today, and indications point
to protracted debate before any of the
pending resolutions on the subject are
voted on
Senator Lodge developed a new phase
of the question by presenting a resolu-
ton providing for an investigation Of the
"affray" at Brownsville, and by silence
ccnceding the authority of the President
to take the action he did. This resolution
was supported by Mr.. Lodge in an adj
dress and opposed by Mr.. Foraker, who
followed and spoke until $50 o clock, Civ
ing notice then that he would conclude
tomorrow
Previous to this debate the Senate lis
tened to a two hours address on ths
Japanese question by senator Gearin,
who argued for a revision directing the
opening of negotiations with Japan for a
revision of our treaty with that nation
The galleries of the Senate were crowd
ed and the debate was listened to with
the closest attention by an unusually
large number of senators.

At the Biiou.

Nat NJ Wills is a favorite comedian in
Birmingham and he realized that fact
more strongly than ever at the Bijou
theatre last night when he won an indivu-
al triumph in "A Lucky Dog Mr.. Wills
parodies and songs this year are perhaps
the best he has ever brought to Birming-
ham and they were enthusiastically re-
ceived last night. The encores were 50
frequent and vociferous in the third act
that Mr.. Wills. having exhausted his
stock of verse, in which there were many
local hits, was forced to make a little
talk and tell a funny story. The comedian
is a whimsical fellow who can bring a
shout of laughter by gesture and Gre
ate an uproar by his comical grin. He
has withal a good voice which is a rari-
ty among comedians.
"A Lucky Dog is hardly a musical
comedy. although there are musical inter-
poIlations ana specialties. There is a bit
of the Oriental and a tendency to melo-
drama, concerning mysterious ring
stolen from temple in India by the viii
lain and brought TO this country. Happy
Holmes, the tramp, who Is none other
than Mr.. Wills, secures this ring and has
some amusing adventures. But the vii
lain is bent on more dangerous measures,
and had it not been for the timelness
and sang froid of the tramp something
serious might have happened to the hero
inc. 1t didn't. however. and there was the
usual happy ending with laugh and a
song.
Mr.. Wills seems haunted by Indians
who wear turbans and for some reason
he cannot get away from thefts in In
dian temples that lead to complications.
IA Lucky Dog" in this particular re-
sembles "A Son of Rest" There is little
in the play itself to keep one interested,
but there are musical numbers and Mr..
Wills is the life of the show. Among
the songs were. Beautiful Bed" Just

The Transatlantic Burlesquers came az
the most pleasant surprise that the pat

that has appeared at the Gayety this
season. and with one or two exceptions
there have not been any as good at that

The oio contains five vaudeville acts
that are hgh-class. They proved by far
the most popular vaudeville acts that the
Gayety has had. The big feature of the
olo is the act of the Howard Brothers,
with flying banjos. They juggle six banjos
and play tune on them at the same
time, picking one or more strings on
each banjo as it falls into their hands.
They received several encores yesterday

DATE FOR PARTY CHANGED.

Mrs J. c. Maben issued invitations to a
card party to be given on the afternoon
of Wednesday in honor of her daughter,
Mrs. Spencer Mabin, who is her guest.
Since the invitations have been issued
the fact that the party will conflict with
that of Mrs. Henry Gray's card party
has made 1t necessary for the date of
Mrs. Mabens to be changed to Thursday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

Robert Edeson In "stroneheart."

Mr.. Edeson, who has, since his advance
to stellar roles, been identified with plays
of an American character. has this season
selected a type never before utilized for
stage purposes-that of an educated In
dian. who. under the influences Of close
contact with civilization, has desired to
marry the woman not of his race, and
while he has figured largely in the news
of the day, up TO the present time the
stage has not pictured it.
There is splendid action, plenty of
sparkle in the dialogue good situations
and intense dramatic purpose that are
certain to grip the attention from the
rising of the first curtain and to hold It
at high pitch until the final word is
spoken.

SOCIETY.
A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT E. Lee.

- hiGO L - ~
Miss Julia S. Tutwiler of Alabama, one
of the most accomplished and distin-
guished women of the south, has written
the following song for the Lee centennial.
which she has appropriately dedicated to
the boys of the south, says the Atlanta
Georgian.
Miss Tutwiler is perhaps the first south
ern woman to be honored with the be-
stowal by a great university of the degree
of LII. D. She has for many years been
conspicuous in the best intellectual and
charitable life of the country, having
achieved distinction in literary fields. and
having also been notable and SUCCESSFUL
leader In many reforms, the object OF
which is the uplift of the hayward child
rem of the south. As is we'll known, Cen
eral Lees invalid mother used to say of
her son: Robert is to me both son and
daughter"
General Lee wrote to his son at West
Fort My son, always do your duty. You
cannot do more: you should not be willing
TO do less. Remember that duty is the
sublimest word in every language
The greatest generals of modern times
have aseribed high praise to his military
ability. After the war an insurance COM
pany offered General Lee the position OF
president with a salary of $4,000 lie re-
fused saying: Il do not understand the
insurance business" They replied that
this was of no consequence, since they
wanted only his name. His answer was:
My name is not for sale"
He accepted the presidency OF Nlr-
ginia college, at that time small ana OBJ
scure and performed patiently ana con-
scientously the duties of this ONCE until
his death.
As the birthday of Gen. Robert e. Lee,
the greatest soldier of the south, and one
Of the grandest and noblest characters OF
the centuries. will be celebrated In Few
days throughout this section. Miss Tut
wiler's poem seems especially appropriate
and timely.

With watchful love is bending,
Her every want with gentle touch
And thoughtful care attending.
She lays her hand upon her son
With tender, soft caressing,

When armies meet contending,
Where cannon roar and weapon clash,
The very heavens are rending;
Calm and serene, unmoved he rides
Mid musketry's firece rattle,
With eye and hand the whirlwind guides,
And rules the storm of battle.
