APPROPRIATION BILL NOW IN DANGER Statehobd's Enemies Will Stay Any Mensnre Containing; Proposals to Increnae Sisterhood ot Stntes . . Parian; Present Slttlnah WASIMNQTON, Feb. 20. When the sen-; ate met at 11 a. m. today It waa etlll the executive day of yesterday, a recess having been taken last night until this morning. The proceedings were still behind closed doors. : , The Panama canal treaty was Immediately laid before tho senate. Senator Morgan (Ala.) yielded the floor to 8enator Burton (Kan.), republican, an advocate of. the omnibus statehood bill. He spoke especially of the Importance of the passage of that measure, indirectly referring to the treaty. His contention waa that while the canal treaty might be meri torious measure the statehood bill waa equally so and that It, should be voted upon. . Senator Burton's epeech was drawn oat by. some criticisms ot. the decision ot the republican caucus. Senator-Quay (Pa.) made complaint of the publloaUon and Senator Hoar.-(M.Rs.k. tajd the caucus discussions were not forfthe,oavspapers ., - Senator Barton refsrre ta,y '. 'briefly to the caucus and Xhen made. an. argument of an hour .and a halt's duration In support ot the-admission .of the three propoaad states. , Mr.. Burton, was- generally, congratulated upon, the conclusion of his remarks. Ilnhnle rtltlclaea Treaty, Mr. Dubois (Idaho) followed 1 with a speech In criticism of"the treay and of what he characterised as the summary ac tion of the republican eaucua. He com plained that the "committee had tried to force a vote upon the measure that' had not been considered at all and this could not be. done. He added that the attention which had been , given to the treaty had ahown that It was full of defects and these were sufficient to Justify the demand for thorough Investigation. When; he con cluded, Senator Morgan continued bis re marks against the treaty In Its present shape. ', The most interesting; event of the day transpired before the beginning of the routine proceedings, when- Senator Quay rose to a question of personal privilege. He aent o the desk and had read an article from a New York paper, of this morning, accusing him of violating a pledge, which the paper atated he had made In the republican caucus Wednesday to support the treaty to the exclusion ot every other subject. tinny- Makes a Denial. -: He said such waa not the case, but, on the contrary, he had protested against any action which would displace the atate-. hood bill. He called upon other sena tors to testify to this effect, and several did so, among them Senator' Foraker (O.), who said he was quite aure Senator Quay had made no such pledge. Senator Lodge (Mass.) stated that he had not heard him make ar.y remark. Sen ator Nelson (Minn.) suggested the belief that' the pledge waa at least implied.' Senator Hoar thought the proceedings of the caucus should not- be revealed, not even In an executive session of the senate. Senator Burton,, expressed the opinion that there should be a committee ,'on .publi cation and, having taken he floor for (hat; purpose, speech, t rues Open Debate, , .s i , I ' Then Senator Morgan resumed" and spoke for an hour after. " He gave way to Mr. Quay, but before the latter had well begun Senator Cartnack (Tenn.) moved that Senator Morgan be al lowed to discuss the canal question In open senate. In support of the motion he said the question was of generalJmportance and the ountry snouia oe piaceu in possession oi the details. The motion precipitated a general debate In which the rules ot the senate, the ad visability of the cloture,, the necessity of maintaining, In the senate, a forum of free speech and many other kludred topics were discussed. Most ot the speakers opposed Mr. Car- mack's motion on the . ground that It . was not expedient to air relations with other countries before the world. v The speakers differed widely, however, as to the expediency of the policy of delay which It was freely charged waa now being pursued in connection with the Panama treaty on the one hand and wltb the state hood hill on the other. Some of the Sen ators avowed themselves advocates of ths cloture. Others expressed the conviction that the prolonging of the present situation would lead to the speedy adoption of such rule. Speaking In this vein. Senator Hale (Me.) expressed the conviction that the present situation In which friends of the statehood bill had Joined with the opponents of the treaty, was due to a previous understand ing between them and Senatora Quay and Morean. Mr. Morgan earnestly denied any .such combination. At this point Mr. Quay, expressing 1m patience with the Interruption,, aaked leave to proceed wltb his speech. No one objected and tho course of the controversy was shifted without putting Mr. Carmack's mo tlon to a vote. Mr. Quay's speech consisted of a long re port on the Isthmian canal question. This reading he asked the clerk at the daak to perform, but objection was mads snd the matter waa submitted to a vote. . The re sult waa adverse to Mr. Quay's request, the vote standing 20 to St. He, then, began. to read the document himself and continued for two hours or more. , - r - At 6:30, In accordance with a decision of the steering committee Senator Cullom (111.) moved a recess until 11 tomorrow morning and the motion prevailed. Fear Extra Session. The deolsion of the steering committee sgainst a night session waa reached. The committee decided that the sentl roent of the senate was against anotner night session until an effort had been made to adjust the somewhat tangled legiala tlvs condition la the senate. In order to bring about such an adjust ment It waa suggested that aoms coinpro mlae might be made on the statehood bill. Tbe opponents of the statehood olll never have believed that tbe measure could be carried as a rider to the postoffice ap proprlatlon bill, but the friends ot the measure have discovered that they bavs enough votea not only to carry It. but to overrule the chair should he decide the rider was not In order. Inquiry about the aenate today made tbe opposition apprenenelve, tnougn not con vtnctd ot tbia claim, and In the committee today they said that ahould such be ths case it would mean an extrt session congress and that tbe appropriation bill with tbe statehood bill would be defeated U also was found that leaders In the state hood fight were willing to assume ths re sponslblllty for this outcome. Wltb tbe situation before them tbe steering com mlttee began to discuss tbe possibility ot a compromise. Senators Quay and Elkisa (W. Va.) and other republlcsns who have been favoring .the statehood, bill, were called ln.'and7the matter wag canvassed, at .eome length,,, but without approaching an agreement. The democrats have not been consulted, and aa they stand solidly agalnet the plan ot compromise- fer the creation of two new states they may not accept any 'other compromise proposition. .... Should a compromise proposition be agreed ipon It Is stated that It will Include the ratification of . the canal and Cuban treaties. HOUSE WASTES MUCH TIME Wraoalrs Over Fowler Currency BUI, .

RAISER RELIEVES PASTORS Provei Bit Orthodoxy in, Long Letter to Admiral H oil atari. CLAIMS DIVINITY FOR HiS GRANDFATHER Says God Reveals Himself Thronca Great 1en, Sneh na Moses, Shakes peare, Goethe and First German Kmperor. BERLIN'. Feb. 20. Emperor William's faith In God and Christ and the authority of the Old Testament as declared in bis letter to Admiral ' Hollmsn, councillor of tbe German Oriental society, is acrepted by, the leading authorities ot the state and church as satisfactory evidence of bis orthodoxy, which for months had been the cause ot deep concern to the ministers snd pastors. The doubts began a' year ago, when the emperor first listened to Prof. Delltzsch'a lecture on the Babylonian origin ot the bible snd Increased later when be person ally assisted the Assyrlologlst In showing atereoptlcon pictures to sixty members of the court. Tbe pictures were, designed to prove the Babylonish origin of Hebrew ideas. ... ..The. emperor . subscribed to send Prpf. Delittscb again to Assyria and discussed with him when he returned bis most recent discoveries, all to the dismay of orthodox churchmen. Kmperor Reveals Deity. In other portions of the letter to the admiral, not hitherto published, the em peror gives his personal views regarding the revelation, saying: I distinguish between two different kinds of revelflfions progressive and, as It were, historical; the other purely religious, as preparing, the way for the future Messiah. Regarding the former, it must be said for me; It does not admit of a doubt, .lot even the slightest that God reveals Himself con tinuously in the race of men created by Him. He nreathert Into man the breath or HIS life, and follows with fatherly love and In terest the development. In order to lead It forward and develop It He reveals Him self In this or that stage, whether priest or king, whether among the heathen, Jews or Christians. Moses, Homer, Charlemagne, .uther. Shakespeare. Got he. Kant and Emperor William the Great, theee He sought out and endowed with His grace to accomplish splendid, Imperishable results for their people, In their Intellectual and physical provinces, according to His will. How often my grandfather pointed out that he was only an instrument In the Lord's hands. The second form of revelation, the more religious. Is that which leads to the mani festation or our uora. it waa introaucea with Abraham. Now begins the moBt as tonishing- activity of God s revelation. Abraham's race and the people developing from It, regard faith In one God as their holiest possession and hold fast to It with Ironlike consistency. Bpnt up during the Egyptian captivity, the divided elements were again welded to gether by Moses, ever trying to hold fast to their monotheism. It was the direct In vention of God that caused the rejuvenation or the people thus proved through cen turies, till the Messiah, heralded by proph ets and psalmists, finally appeared, the greatest revelation of God In the-world. lor He appeared in the HonMimseii. Admits Divinity- ot Christ. Christ la God. God in human form. He re deemed ua and inaplres, entices us,' to fol low Him. We feel His fire burning in us. His sympathy strengthens . us. . His discontent destroys us. But, also. His in tercesslon saves us. Conscious of victory, building solely on His word, we go through labor, ridicule sorrow, misery ana aeatn, for we have in Him God's revealed word and He never lies. That Is my -view or these matters. It is to me self evident that the Old Testament contains many sections which Sre of a purely human and hlstorleah nature, and are-not Gods revealed word,. They are merely historical descriptions of incidents or all kinds which happen In the political. rellcleVss; moral and inselleotufcl trfe ttf 'this people., The legislative act on Blnal, for ex ample, can be only regarded sa symbolic ally inspired Dy uoa. vv nen mows una io reburnlsb-well known paragraphs of-law. perhaps derived from the code of Ham murobl In order to corporate and bind them Into the looee, weak fabric of his people, here the historian can perhaps con strue from the sense or wording a con nection with the lawe or nammurooi, me friend of Abraham. That Is, .prehape, logic ally correct. But that will never disguise the fact that God Incited Moses thereto and Insofar revealed Hlmeelt to the people of Israel. . . , FATAL HOTEL FIRE (Continued from First Page.) from third story window, leg broken and lnlured Internally: probably fatal. c. v.

OIL DRILLER'S PAINFUL MISHAP WOMAN RESCUES Hlil TROM AL MOST CERTAIN DEATH. The Man Saddenly lleeame Almost Totally Paralysed and Wna I nalile to Mote Hand or Foot. Lee F. Cypher, aa oil well driller, livhx St Slstersvllle, Tyler county, W. Va.. was the victim cf a terrible mishap which caused a total paralysis of his tors, arms, face and throat. It waa Dr. Williams rink Pills for Pale People whlrh cured hirti and enabled hltn to resume his work. "I might almost as well have been totally paralyied." he says, "for I was till able to move and could swallow only with the greatest difficulty. It was in February, 1899, after a severe attack of grip that I first noticed a numhnr" in my bands and feet. It gre worse and I put myself under a physician's care, but,' Instead of getting better. It grew worse till I couM not walk and was obliged to take to my led. I was perfectly helpless, and,1 on' necount of the paralysis of my throat, hatdly able to take edotigh nourishment to sustain life. Nothing' helped ' me and the bntlook was dismal. ' :' " ' ' "But a Mrs. Smith of this plncr-'. who had been cured of locomotor staxla by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, recommended them" to me and I began to take them. ' In a'short time 1 cotild see thf y were helping' me and t continued taking' them till they currM me and I was able ''to return to work. Pr. Williams' rink Pills drove ever lraee of ths paralysis out of my' system." The cure of Mr. Cypher Is additional proof that Dr. Williams' rink nils are not an ordinary medicine. They are wonderful In their potency In nervous troubles',' small or great, and, as they are on sale In every drug store throughout the country, they are within reach of all. Because they cured suc'u a severe nervous disorder as that of Mr. Cypher proves the power of tbe remedy In lesser troubles, such as sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache, St. Vitus' dsnce and nervous debility.
