against the retention Of the Philippines.
They did not favor the sale Of the islands,
but advocated eventually lsaving them
to the control Of the FllipinOs them
selves. Col. Elijah w. HAlford made
spirited reply, expressing his belief that
the Philippines were under the present
control OF this country by divine ap-
pointmeDt and that Americans should
rejoice at the opportunity Of doing good.

NOT TO REMAIN IN THE PACIFIC.

NOT TO REMAIN IN THE PACIFIC.
The continued presence in Washing
ton of Rear Admiral Evans, who is to
command the Atlantic battleship fleet
on its voyage to the Pacific, the daily
appearance of orders making changes in
the personnel of the feet and the con-
fereuces going on between the President
and Secretary Metcalf since the former
returned TO Washington have had the
effect to renew interest in the rapidly ap-
proachiog departure Of the great fleet.
Naval officers in Washington have bad
their attention directed to the remarks OF
the President in the course OF his re-
cent speech at Vickbuig, bearing upon
the feet movement, as representing the
present state of mind OF the chief execu-
tive upon that subject
1t is recalled that the President took
occasion during bis remarks to answer
the criticism he said he had observed in
some quar- ers that he was exceeding the
appropriation available for coal in get
ting the fleet to the Pacific. At this
point he turned to Representative John
Sharp Williams, who was on the plat
form, ard remarked:
'T should like to say that we have
money enough to get the feet to the
Pacific. If the appropriation is then ex-
hausted the question of getting it back
will depend upon another appropriation
being made"
While this uttersnce appeared to in
dicale purpose on the part OF the Presi-
dent to leave 10 Congress the final deci-
sion of the question as to whether or not
the batteship feet was TO return to the
east, it is now certain that the President
has never in his own mind cherished any
idea OF maintaining The feet permanent
" in the Pacific. Indeed, it wss yesier-
day learned beyond question that no.
only does he intend TO order the fleet
back to the Atlantic, but that unless his
present plans are changed, that order
will 90 forward to the admiral in COM
maDd before the ships have been ninety
days on the Pacific coast OF North
America.

LUsIrANIA BREAKS RECORD.

The Cunsrd Line steamer Lusitania
arrived at Queenstown at $3.50 last night.
She has broken the best previous eastern
record.
The best previous recordi from New
York to Queenstown was 5 days, 4 hours
and 10 minutes. This the Lusitsnis
made herself on her last run from New
York. The Lusitsnis clesred Sandy
Hook ligbtship at 5:44 p. m. Saturday
last. Her time of passage has been 4
days, 22 hours and 46 minutes.
This is about six hours better than the
last eastward-bound passage Of the
steamer. TIE Lusitsnia experienced
rough weather and vas obliged to slow
down her engines. Her daily ruus we're
4O5, $40, $40, 592 and Thursday to
noon $40. Her average speed for the
entire distance was 2S6l knots.
An official statement issued by the
CuDard Company points out that travel
ing sgsinst the sun these figures mean
exceptionally fine stesming. On a vest
ward trip, with a 25-hour day, they
would mean a daily average OF nearly
go knots.
The proportions of the Lusitanis are
interesting. She has six turbines which
have 99i, 900 blades and an equal num-
Der of spacing pieces between the blades
If the blades and spacing pieces were
laid end to end they would extend 1872
miles, and their total WEIGHT is 1914, 500
pounds, and the surface of the blades
exposed to the action of steam amounts
to ia, 600 square feet. A consumption
of 900 tons of coal per day requires
about l, 500 pounds per minute. Each
of the 100 iremen, therefore, would be
required to feed fifteen pounds of coal
per minute into the furnaces.

to meet the representative of the workingmen to
listen to any of his proposals.
The assurance is given by the mine workers that
they will maintain order in their ranks.
The President of the United States has become
convinced that the call upon the Federal authorities
for troops at Goldeld entirely unnecessary, that
there has since been legitimate demand for their
presence and that there is nothing in the aspect of
affairs to suggest that troops will be needed in the
future The military movement up to date has been
farcical to inspire disgust in the high places
at Washington.

Polygamy and the Constitution

Senator Burrows has stated since the Congress
sional session began that he would introduce prob
ably after the holiday recess, a resolution for an
amendment to the Federal Constitution providing
for the prohibition and punishment of poygamous
marriages anywhere within the States and terrtor-
les of the United States.
Mr.. Burrows will probably follow the terms of
the resolution for the purpose introduced late
in the last Congressional session. 1t will seek to
confer upon the general Government jurisdiction for
the punishment of the polygamous citizens of the
country, wherever they may be found
There will probably be plenty of opposition to the
proposed amendment in the Senate for egisla-
tive body that places itself the level with
an apostle of the Mormon church who condones
polygamy IN every official act a director of his
church, may go farther in error.
Three months before the Smoot argument in the
Senate, President Roosevelt said in message to
Congress- in which he recommended Constitutional
amendment on the subject of marriage and divorce
In particular it would be good because it would
confer on the Congress the power at once to deal
radically and efficiently with polygamy, and this
should be done whether or not marriage and divorce
are dealt with. 1t is neither safe nor proper to
leave the question of poygamy to be dealt with by
the several States Power to deal with it should
be conferred on the National Government. When
home ties are loosened, when men and women cease
to regard worthy family life, with all its duties
fuy performed and all It's responsibilities fully lived
up to as the life best worth living, then evil days
for the commonwealth at hand
This was Roosevelt the moral teacher and the
philosopher. When he lent the assistance and en-
enlargement of his high office to the protection of
member of the polygamous hierarchy, it was
Roosevelt the politician, the builder for party SUI
premacy. That a man can consort with wrong,
against his convictions, is sad commentary the
American system of political manipulation
The Constitutional amendment to be proposed by
Mr.. Burrows through Congress- would be
ratified by the States almost with unanimity and
once adopted, the spectre of poygamy would flee
from the land which it hovers and remove
its from communities not yet tainted by its
hideous doctrine

Eagleson, of Idaho, called for, the demand being

against the chamber proceeding and the depart

the accused official will be given an opportunity to
square himself with the Government.
