Mr. Mason said the resolution was prac, tlcally Identical with that adopted In the case of Admiral Dowcy. "I think wo would better let this resolu tion go over," suggested Mr. Hale, chair man ot tho commlttoo on naval affairs, "The matter Involved Is In controversy by a committee." "I do not see that It Is necessary." said Mr, Mason, "that the resolution should go to a committee. It Is a statement of a historical fact which has been passed upon by the American people. Under the rules It can he read a second time and passed." The chair explained that tho resolution could not be read a second time In tho face ot opposition which had boon made. Mr. Hale said ho had no objection to the second reading of tho resolution and It was read again. Referred to Naval Committee. Mr. Hale then moved that the matter' be referred to the committee on naval affairs. To this motion Mr. Mason objected that tho fact being known ot all men, every senator knew precisely how he would vote upon tt.

Mr. Teller of Colorado called up his reso lution Introduced yesterday, providing for the Intervention of the United States gov ernment in behalf of commandant Schoep ers ot the Doer army, sentenced to death by the British South African authorities. He explained that ho had Introduced tho resolution bocattse his attention had been directed to what seemed to bo a violation ot articles 1 and v ot tho Oenova conven tion.

Adheres to Geneva Convention. "It is said,", continued Mr. Toller, "that toe resolution might be offensive to tho government of Oreat nrltnln; but If tho Geneva convention, to which both the United States and Oreat Britain were par ties, means anything.

Without further comment Mr. Teller, In view of the execution of Commandant Scheepcrs, asked that the resolution be postponed Indefinitely. It was so ordered. Consideration of the Department of Com merce bill was resumed, the pending amendmont, being that offered by Mr. Pet tus of Alabama, providing that the Depart ment of l.nbor be not transferred to the proposed new department. Mr. Pcttus made a brief argument in support 6f his amendment. In reply Mr. Nelson, In charge of the pending measure, said that throughout the consideration of .the bill ho had beard no protest against the transfer of the Depart- j ment of Labor to tho Department nf Com- tuerce until recently nn official of a labor organization had objected to the transfer. Ho wan convinced, he said, that whatever opposition had been aroused among labor people to tho transfer of the Department of Labor hod been Inspired from with n the Department of Labor Itself. Ho maintained that It was a mistake to Icavo the labor department without tho jurisdiction ot an executive department. Iliinnn Niippnrts Nelson. Mr. Bacon ot Georgia strongly supported Mr. Pettus' amendment, and urged that, In the absenco of some good reason, the pro tost entered by Samuel Gompera, president of tho American Federation Of Labor, against tho transfer of iho Department of Labor to tho now department ought to be heeded. Mr. Hannn of Ohio said tho establishment of the new department was In the Inter est nf both capital and labor. He believed tho labor Interests of the country would not object to tho transfer of tho laborvdo partment. Porsonally, ho believed nil bu reaus or Independent departments ought to bo nttached to some executive department It had been his privilege to discuss this subject with tho laboring men of the coun try and ho was certain they favoted the ponding bill. Thero was no question be- foro tho country today, ho said, which de manded such careful attention as tho In dustrial development. At 2 o'clock no one wished to discuss the Philippine bill, nnd Mr. Hanna, con tinuing his speech, said the time had como when wn must expand our commerce or restrict our production. At this point he wns Interrupted by Mr. Hale of Maine, who said the United States had captured nil the foreign trado worth having nnd he Inquired of Mr. Hanna whether ho did not reallzo that as being a tact. "I do not," promptly replied Mr. Hanna. "Then tho senator and I dlsagroe," said Mr. Halo. Wo do," replied Mr. Hanna. Tho record of what has been accom plished by the Dlngley bill." continued Mr. Hole. "Is to mo the most amazing record ever exhibited to tho world In the absorp tion of foreign trade. Wo have absorbed foreign trado In the great countries that aro competitors of ours. Wo have wasted our energies In n dream ot what is called 'Oriental' trade, which never did and novor will figure in comparison with tho mar kets ot tho civilized world. Ilon't Need New Mnrkets. "Wo have Invaded. England, Germany, Australia, Italy nnd Russia, and for tho senator (Mr. Hanna) who stands as rep rcnentntlvo of tho achievements of the Dlngley law, to join tho ranks of men who declare that we will be ruined If wo do not cct additional markets for our' goods, 1b to mo a matter of surprise, We do not need further action, nor do we need addi tional markets." Mr. Hanna replied that the United Statss had not conquered tho markets of Kuropo and tho markets of the world were yet an unexplored flold for us. In order that the direct attention ot tho government might be given to the commorclal and Industrial Interests ot tho country, commercial, in dustrial and agricultural bodies ot the country had domanded a bill ot the kind pending, and ho asserted that when he spoke of the Industrial interests ho re ferred to capital and labor, organized and unorganized. Mr, Hale then offered an amendmont transferring to tho new department the Interstate Commerce commission.

MORE SHAKESPEAREAN LITERATURE Chlensto Publlshlna- tlonse firings Ont a Tragedy In Fire Act What the February Mnanslnr Will Contain of Interest. Nn crholar In the United States has a greater reputation as an authority on the plays of Shakespeare than Prof. L. A. Sherman, head of the English literature department in the University ot Nebraska.

For nomo tittle time Prof. Sherman has been dovotlng his spare moments In writing a book, now at hand, bearing tbo title "What Is Shakespeare? An Introduction to the Great Plays." Prof. Sherman doe not wasto any time In the Idle making of sentences, but, after a brief and pointed Introduction, plunges at once Into his sub ject. Tho first play to be considered Is "Cymbellne." In tho oourso of a hundred pages he tells us all that Is to be known regarding this Important play, taking It up scene by scene In regular order.

After that he discusses the dramatic art of "Macbeth" and follows It up with chapters on "Shakespeare, the Man," "The Groupings of the Plays," "Personal Study of the Plays," etc. The appendix, which Is by no means the least Important part ot the work, occupies something over soventy pages and contains outline ques tions on "Tho Winter's Tale," "Romeo ami Jullot" and "Twelfth Night." Theso ques tions will be valued most highly by stu dents who are making a careful study of Shakespeare.

SHOULD NOT BE AfFLICABLE TO ISLANDS Says , Insular Possessions Asked for Unrestricted Inimlaratlnn and Au thorities A arecd that It Wonld Not Affect White l.nbor. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Former Secro- tary of State John W. Foster appeared be fore tho senate committee on Immigration today and spoke lu opposition to the Chinese, exclusion bills which havo been In troduced In congress. His remarks were directed more particularly to tho Mitchell or Pacific coast bill, which, ho said, was a plain violation of our treaty with China. Mr. Foster said our government had four times naked China to modify exlstlug treaties In tho interest of American citi zens and that In every instanco China had acceded to our Bequest. He then1 submitted for tho consideration ot tbo committee three propositions. The first was that any law passed by the present congress which cqntlnues the ex clusion ot Chinese laborers beyond 1904 would be not only without International authority, but would be In violation ot treaty, stipulations. He said that during the negotiations resulting in ths' treaty cf 1891 the United States sought to have tho exclusion ot Chinese laborers extended to twenty yeirs and that the Chinese govern ment refused to make It for more than tea years. Hn also Insisted that when the treaty ot 1894 came to an end tho Bur- llngamo tteaty ot 18S8 would be revlyod and go Into forco, which treaty stipulated for the free and unrestricted emigration of Chinese ot all classes into the United States. Tr.e treaty, ho said, had only been suspended as to immigration, not abro gated. Slionld Not Affect Islands. His second proposition was that tho ex clusion laws should not be made applicable to all our Insular possessions and said the Hawaiian Islands presented the exact state of affairs which was contemplated by the American negotiators of the exclusion treaty, when they gave the assurance that to such a trend of affairs the oxcluslon law would not apply when the lntorests of the Islands asked for Chinese Immigration, and the local authorities agreed that It would In no way affect white labor. Mr. Foster's third proposition was that the existing exclusion laws and the legis lation proposed aro tn clear disregard of treaty stipulations. He cited th provision ot the treaty ot 1894, which guaranteed to all Chinese In the United States the most favored notional treatment, and tho pro visions of treaties with other cations guar anteeing to then the same treatment as to the protection of thetr persons and prop erty as that enjoyed by native citizens. Mr. Foster read from the remarks of Minister Wu beforo the committee on rela tions last session In which tie spoke of the indignities and humiliation alleged to have boen suffered by some of his people at the hands of our Immigration officers. Howard Indorses Foster. Malar General O. O. Howard said he en dorsed all that Mr. Foster stated. He had come in contact wltb tbo Chinese on the Pnelfle coast, and characterized tbe undue diligence of Chinese Inspectors In tbe per formance of their auties as "Among tno Iniquities of the present execution of the orrllmlnn law." Mr. Powderly spoko of the matter re ferred to by Mr. Foster, and said ho thnuirht. it crew out of an anonymous com munication. The case, he said, was Investi gated and found to be without a scintilla of truth. Mr. Powderly brougnt to ,me committee room In custody ot a United States marshal, two alleged Chinese mer chants, who. he said, were fair samples of tho "merchants," Minister Wu had re ferred to.

Asked what disposition was to bs mado of them, Mr. Powdetly said they would be given a fair hearing, but that they would ultimately bo deported. Mr. Richard K. Campbell, a Chinese In spector, said that in his opinion, there wero 100,000 Chinese In the United States who were admitted on false ccrllHrntcs. Mr. Foster contended that there were only 93,000 Chlneso In thn United States, but Mr. Campbvll stated that tbe depart ment's Information was that tho Chinese In this country numbered at least 300,000. Tho commission will further consider the subject next Monday. N. Jackson, Danville, III., writes: "My daughter had a sovcro attack ot la grippe and a torilblo cough sottlod on her lungs.
