In the senate today another unavailing effort was maaa by Mr. Beveiidg to secure unanimoue con sent to fix a day for taking a vote on the statehood LUL Mr. Bate spoke for the op ponents of the biil, saying there were still a number of speeches to be made. There was some discussion of a bill permitting American women who have married for eigners to regain citizenship In the United States, but it did not reach a vote.. Among other bills passed was on protecting th great seal of the United States against counterfeiting. Mr. Dubois introduced an amendment to the Joint statehood bill prohibiting the practice or encouragement of polygamy in th proposed state of Oklahoma and All sons. The provlskin is in the language of the Idaho test oath. The Philippine railroad bill was sent to conference, with Messrs. Lodge. Hale and Culberson as conferees. The senate began consideration of a bill regulating the restoration to citizenship of American women who have married for eigners. Mr. Nelson said that the b'lll was in tended to pply to women of this country wh married abroad and who were, dlvoroed o whose husbands may have died. Mr. Iepew said It ws not the Intention of the bill to confine It to widow and di vorcees, but to all women mho hav foreign husbands. The Women surTrarlsts and the Ladle of the American league, he said, took exception to the fact that women lost their citizenship by marrying a foreigner, while men dd not. Mr. Lodge suggested an amendment con fining the operation of the bill to widow and lawfully divorced women. Mr. Tillman protested against the amend ment as discriminative agslnst "grass wid ows." Mr. Popew defended Internationa! mar riages as nstural and due to the "rood, old-fashioned American reason or propin quity.

CONSIDERING CHIEE 3EITRAL1TT Xatleoa Will Try ta Show Raasla that It Mast Keep Qalet. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 -Mr. Takahlrs, the Japanese minister, had a long talk with Mr. Loomls, the acting secretary of state, today, about the Chinese neutrality and Russlt's circular not to th powers on the subject. So far as the press dls patches how there ar alleged Instance specified In the latest Russian note cf (Vio lation cf neutrality by China that have not been mentioned In previous notes on the subject and replied to by Jsps. Whether the Japanese government will se f.t to further rp!y probably will not be de termined tintil the official text of the note has become known. It can be stated, how ever, that the attitude of Japan regarding China's neutrality remain unchanged. Th Japanese government was quick to respond to Secretary Hay's not to th power urging the respecting of th neu trality and "administrative entity" of China and it is believed that Japan will be greatly opposed to th suspension of th agreemert of the belligerent to limit th cone of operations In th effort to adhere to Secretary Hay' request. In th event, however, that Russia determines to with draw her adherence to this principle it will be necessary, for Japan a the other belligerent to follow suit, and she probably will do it quickly If Russia reaches this decision. There I already abundant evidence in diplomatic circles that the power proposed to urge upon Russia. Informally possibly, but none, the less strongly, the universal menace that would be constituted by the upheaval In China that will certainly fol low a violaUoB of its neutrality by either of the belligerents.

Jan. it. -Seven w1tr.es--s for the defendant t. day, bef-re the snate committee on pr.ri.eges and election. In the seat- ,r' for Keed Snuot, testified. Al. e cept two told of political conoiJon In Utah , nd of the Mormon endowment fcoute cere mony. Several witnesses said the ceremony j included no obligations that acre In con flict with th duties cf a cit-zen to his state and country. Chairman Burrows asked two of the wltntes ta give the" nature cf th ceremonies, but both refused on the ground that the had given oaths not t d.vu'.gs what had tikfn place within the temple. They both claimed not to be Mormuna now. one having ber expelled and the ether voluntarily withdrawing from the church. A former Judg of the surreme court un der territorial and state governments told of the prosecutions for poljgamous cohabi tation, expressing th opinion that polyg amy was now almost a thing of th past and that the sentiment of the Mormon in the state was against plural marriages. The hearing will be re.umed Monday. Attltade of Yoaaar Morsaoas. James E. Lynch of Salt Lake City was the first witness today. He 1 a democrat and a non-Mormon. Attorney Van Cott examined the witness concerning the statement that Angus M. Cannon, hi trother-in-law, had said he had witnessed the marriage of Abraham Cannon and Lil lian Hamlin on the high seas In 19. Mr. Lynch said he Investigated th statement by Angus Cannon at the request of E. B. Critchlow and found that Ar.gu Cannon was not In California in 1S96, but the wit ness admitted that his brother-in-law had made th statement. He declared, however, that Cannon was drunk when he said It Chairman Burrows asktd Mr. Lynch concerning the feeling of young Mormon on the question of polygamy. The witness said they felt that the practice must ba done away with, but be had heard noth ing of the young Mormons making a pro test to the beads of the church. Hugh M. Dougall of Suringvlile. Utah, who explained that be was "fired" from the Mormon church, was called to the stand. He is postmaster of hi town of J.S00 Inhabitant He could think of only five polygamists In Springville and said there had been no new polygamous mar riages there since 1890. His expulsion from the church in 1S74 or ISTi. be said, had not made a particle of difference in bis busi ness, even though a majority of his busi ness came from Mormons. Wltaess Took Endawsacats. As a Mormon he tt tbs endowment In 1SG2. He was about 25 years old then and was married at that time, which, he aaid, was the only time he had been married. About 150 went through with him. Mr. Worthlngton read the oath of vengeance given by certain witnesses, and Mr. Dougall said the oath was to avenge the .blood of the prophet or martyr on "this generation" and not "on this nation," as had been testified. Mr. Dougall said he had served In the legislature and was elected in a Mormon county, after his expulsion from the church. His testimony as to tbc aenUnv-nt In regard to prosecutions of polygamists conformed to that of other witnesses called for the defense, to the effect that such prosecutions were not feasible. Chairman Burrow, asked th. witnes. to 1 tte the nature of the ceremony per- formed when he was married in the en dowment bouse, and Mr. Dougall replied, "I do not care to tell that, senator." "Was there a penally attached if you "re vealed what took place?" 'Yes, sir." "What was that penalty?" "I decline to state." "Was it severe?'' "As I remember it, it was." "Was it death?' Will Aasverr So More ttaestloaa. "I don t believe I care to answer any more questions on that subject." "You have stated your recollection of a part of this ceremony and yet you decline to state the wboic of it?" "Yea, sir." "You were married when you took th endowments?" On that day. yes, sir." Continuing, he said that one could not be married in the temple until he had taken the endowments, but that other legal mar riage ceremonies were performed outaide. i j.ura j forme 1 marriagea, he said, could not be per-1 formed outside of th temple or church. 'You were expelled thirty years ago, ou say?'' asked the chairman. "Yes. sir." "And you feel that after al! these years of separation from tne church your obli gations are still binding or you" 'Yen, sir. I have consclent lo1 scruple against ever divulging anyti..ng that I swore not to tell." On reilir-t examination the v.tness told Mr. Worthlngton that he had taken obli gations m secret societies and he had the sume scruples against divulging such obli gation. Kidonnrit Oath ot Disloyal. A. A. Noen of Provo, a republican Justice of the peace and a former Mormon, who voluntarily withdrew from the church in 170. testified that young Mormons are op posed to polygamy end also that Mormons are not taking: any part in politics as a church. He ha. been a candidal for office biennally since l!i90 and. with the exception of 18.. has defeated Mormon candidates. He endorsed Senator Smoot highly and The popularity of the Bittern is increasing every day because more people are ueing it with "plendid results iu caeea of Heart burn.

FITTER5 was not surprised, b said, at hi elec tion a sera: or. After hi marriag Mr. Noon said he took the endowment Mr. Worthlngton aaked him if he took n oath to avenge th blood of prophets upon "thi nation.'" Th witnes said be was perfectly clear that tber was nothing in the obligati.m taken expressing hostility to th nation or t thi government. He said it wa tka from th scriptures Reve.ations. chapter Ti. verse t and 10. There was nothirg In It. h said, of disloyalty to th UmteJ State.

On cross-examination Mr. Noon said h did not concern himself with polygamy ant. was unable to tste who wer polygam si in Provo. Mar.y tiit were read to him and h identified them, by common refute, as living n polygamy. Chairman Burrows askM Mr. Noon In regard to the endowment ceremony, nv.i he declined to state its nature. He would not say whether there was a change in wear.ng apparel, whether there was a se vere penalty attached to reveallrg what had taken place, cr anything conn ected with the obligations. Will Sat State Peaalty. "What would you say as to whether the , penalty was to have th tongue torn out or the vital cut out of th body?" asked t v.nairman ourrgm. That Is Ilk all of the qu tlona I do not feel that I could answer," Mr. Noon reilled. Mr. Dougall was recalled and asked whether there was anything In his endow ment oath' incompatible with hi allegiance 1 to hi state' and the nation. He replied that there wa nothing. Mr. Noon was recalled and answered tha same question in th negative. Chairman Burrows again recalled Mr. Dougall, as several senators wanted to knew why he would state a part of the ceermony and would not state it all. He said he could not remember the exact wording of the obligation of vengeance, but was sure it was not hostile to the government and that it was exclusively religious and not related In any manner to civil or governmental affairs. William Hatfield of Salt Lake City was sworn. He was a Mormon until he wa S years of age, and then drifted away from the church. He testified that po lygamy was decreasing and that he had known of no plural marriages since IRK). Mr. Hatfield took the endowments at the time h was married. Hs wa 21 years old then and left the church about a year later. Soon after he was sworn the com mittee took a recess. OFFER OF COLONIES (Continued from First Page.) Chamberlain laid undue stress on the fact of a colonial offer, and that their policy depended for Its suooess on being able to strike a profitable bargain with th colonies. That was to misconceive th whole position. Every true imperialist must deslr to develop every portion of the British empire to Its utmost capacity, and, even If the colonies were Indifferent, still he would say, "Let us give them a preference, because it is to the political Interest of the mother country, as the center of the British empire, to build up the strength, th weaJth and the power of the people who live under it. own flng. either in Great Britain cr in Greater Britain, rather than squander its sub Stance, a. it has done for the last sixty fear.. In developing the rapacity of com peting communities ' For when they were talking of preference they were thinking of people. The strength of a white emplr did not depend upon Its area, but upon Jti whlteman power. At present Great Britain wa the great empire, containing individual colonies exceeding the sue of the Germii empire, but with a total white population not much larger than that of Japan, and substantially Jess than that already under the rule of the German emperor. Great Britain had colonies all over the earth. It wa. time to concentrate, to organire and to develope. and the only method of peopling the waste places under Great Britain', flag- was the constructive policy of preference. As ta Geverameat Policy. Mr. Ackers-Douglas, the home secretary this week addressed a meeting of the Herne-Day Habitation of the Primrose league. He said that the policy of the gov ernment with regard to the fiscal question was a purely defensive on. It was not a policy of protection as protection wa for merly known, but was one to secure free trade. It bad been said that they wanted to dump that policy on the country, but noth lng could be more absurd. The govern ment had never proposed to deal with thi subject during the existence of the present Parliament; they were anxious to take th country into their confidence before they departed from the well-trodden paths of fiscal pollc. If Great Britain pursued a policy of repose in this matter and took no action whatever, it should not be surprisea If many of the first industries of the coun try languished awn and passt d into the hands of foreign competitors With regard to alien emigration Le advocated that, K part or the sentences to le passed ,.n ,n criminal aliens, there should be an order 1 for deportation from the country. This was j a question which brooked 110 delay and he' trusted that next session they would put Ul-on the stutute book some measure to se- i eure the result desired. Critics sugges.ed I there was Inconsistency in the treatment of ! this quet.;ion as compared alth the policy of the government In regard to the Intro duction of CMnese labor lrrto South Africa lie denied that there was any inconsin. ency. The Chinese laborers were carefulty Si let ted, their importation was carried out under well considered conditions and dur ing ihe five months of the system some thing like 2,000 more white men had been employed In responsible position In South Africa. With regard to the licensing act he said that the reduction of licenses had never been at the rate of more than IKi or i0 In one year, but under the act a Men I came into force on January 4. irx4, it would j be possible for houses to be reduced solely on grounas 01 pwiuic policy, py rrom l.sno to a year, and they would be able to do that mithout inflicting injury on th? owner of the house, en the occupier or on tlose who served In the house. The government had recently accepted an invitation frcm President Roosevelt to take part in arothet conference at The Hague in the interest or peace.' But. anxioua as the government wa to carry out friendly arrangement. It had never forgotten the axiom that If they wished for peac they must be prepared for war. In arrangement which they had made with other countries, and especially lu the arrangement for the International In quiry in Paris. Great Britain had beon suc cessful to a larg extent for this reason because the British navy was all powerful. Discussing the nbjert cf the Primmse league, one of the chief of which wss to maintain th Integrity of the emplr. he said that they had heard that th leader of th Irish party had boasted of hi ability to hold th balance ln th next Parliament to be elected and a'so to exact terms.

All the mucous membranes and tissues of the body are affected by this disease, and the filthy, poisonous matter finds its way to every part of the body, making the sufferer dull and half sick all the time. The bead and eyes have blinding aches, the stomach bloats, the hearing- is often affected, and Strong, and as it circulates through the unhealthy secretions cease, and become chronic Catarrh, but at the book on The Blood will be mailed write, without charge.
