Listened to Iona Speech.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The entire SEN
ate today sat through a long speech by
Senator Root and heard him declare
that Senator Lorimer should be ex-
cluded from his seat on account of
bribery i'm his election by the Illinois
legislature, regardless of what methods
of subtraction were resorted to with
reference to the seven alleged tainted
votes.
He said IL was immaterial wether
the tainted votes were subtracted from
the total vote upon joint ballot or only
from the Lorlmer vote.
Senator Bailey created a sensation
by asserting that If Lorimer were shut
out by any such logic, then Cullom. the
venerable senior senator. also should
be excluded. And. he added impress
sirely, there Is no one here who would
not acquit Cullom of having a knowl-
edge of any wrong doing in connection
with his election.

The Belt Club had been invited to
send speakers to the board of CON-
merce luncheon tomorrow to argue the
merits of the new county proposition,
but late today a message was re-
ceived saying the copy of resolutions
was on the way to the board of COM
merce to be read at the luncheon and
as they set out the feeling Of the Belt

pie had decided the case in advance,
there would be no use to argue the
subject further as it could in no way
change the situation.
Secretary Oliver NJ Holmes said
the plans for discussing Daily county
would be carried out and that IL Belt
lost Its case by default the Great Falls
board of commerce could not be
blamed. Belt had been duly sum-
moned to come into court and make

Washington. Feb. 3.-Out Of the
claim of Jem Yuen, a Chinese boy
locked uD in Boston has risen a tick
lish question OF personal rights that
may work havoc with the Immigration
regulations of the United States.

merchant residing in Boston. The i'm.
migration officials rejected his appli-
cation and the lower courts declined
to release him on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
The entire supreme court of United
States will be called, upon Feb. 20. to
decide whether the boy shall be az
corded bail the preliminary applica-
ton for which was denied by Justice
Holmes.
The intricacy OF Jem Yuen's case
crises from the fact that so much bus
mess Is before the court that II will
not reach his case. which is Just
docketed for probably three years, and
counsel for the boy declares il Is an
injustice to keep him in prison fer tina
period. An affidavit has been present

cannot stand the strain.
Justice Holmes took the position that
Jem Yuen was not compelled to en-
dure the imprisonment and that, she
could give up his attempt to enter the
country and ask to take ship for other
