To thoso who gavo closo attention
to tho ovonts In tho sonato during
tho flllbuBtor which marked tho clos

Interpretation of tho somito rules was
considered of far greater Import than

to tho parliamentary tactics employed
by tho majority to bring tho obstruc

changes which woro accomplished :
First Tho vtco president an
nounced that It was within tho prov

and that ho would not order a roll call
If a quorum was actually prosont,
Second Tho sonato, by a voto upon
a point of ordor, submlttod to It by
tho vlco presldont, dctormlnod that
tho question of "no quorum" could not

In practtco had always lain dormant

Tho result of thoso throo Interpreta

YAQUI NATION IS NEARINQ END
Indians to Sover Tribal Relations and

After a war which has continued In
termittently for moro than 120 years,
tho Yaqul nation, as a nation, Is about
to suitor the throes of dissolution, to
sovor tribal relationa and its members
aro to sottlo down into peaceable and
law-abiding Mexican cIUzoub. Orig
inally numbering twenty thousand or
moro people, thoy have novor yet ac
knowlodgcd tho authority of tho Mex

coming and tho Yaqul nation will soon
bo a thing of tho past Although
Christianized by tho Spanish fathers,
they steadfastly refused to accopt tho
dominion of Spain and as Boldlers In
the revolutionary army materially aid
ed In driving tho Spaniards from tho
country and In later years against tho
armies of tho ropubllc thoy stubbornly
maintained .tholr freedom. Beaten by
armies In tho field, they retreated to
tho mountains of Bacatote, and waged
unrelenting guerrilla warfare. Quar
ter was neither asked nor given and
tho innocont on both sides suffered
with tho guilty. When exhausted by
long struggles, there have been Inter
vals of peace, but under the thon ex
isting conditions theso could not bo
lasting, and tho first overt act on
, tho part of tho Indians or the gov
ernment led to other bloody and deter
mined struggles.
Tho Yaqul country Is rich In natural
advantages.

Baseball Player-Evangellit Tells Why
Some Preachers Fall.
Evangelist Billy Sunday dellvored an
address to tho Presbyterian ministers
of Pittsburg. His words caused' con
sternation among tho preachers, somo
of whom left the First Presbyterian
church, their dignity stung, but most
of them remained to the end.
Rev. Sunday, who Is a former pro
fessional baseball player, has been
conducting a revival at Sharon, near
thoro, and camo to Pittsburg to speak
on "Why Somo Ministers Fall."
Tho evangelist said many of tho
ministers of tho present day were
"fudge eating mollycoddles, who woro
continually springing bum bull-con to
their congregations."
Ho assorted that few ministers of
today aro anything but stiffs, salary
quacks, willing to accopt social dis
tinction and that many of them aro
qualified candidates for tho "funny"
botiso.
Continuing, ho said: "Somo of you
ministers aro controlled' by riches nnd
not by tho bible. Many of you aro
grafters, pure and Blmple. You know
this, too. There aro Borao of you
preaching today that should bo carry
ing tho hod. What wo do want Is to
tear down tho seminaries and stand
tho professors on tholr heads in mud
puddles. A seminary and' its teach
ings aro of no moro use to preaching
than a crane's legs aro to a Betting
hen. I am not an osteopath. I am a
surgeon and my lino Is to cut out tho
abscess in tho sido of tho church."

United States Supremo Court Decides
Copyright Cases.
Tho U. S. supremo court decided
threo important copyright cases, the
opinions being handed down by Jus
tice Day. The first doclslon was in
tho caso of tho Bobbs-Merrlll company
against R. H. Macy & Co. and Isadora
H. Strauss, tho decision being In fa
vor of Macy & Co.
In this caso tho court dealt with
tho question whether tho sale by a
retail dealer of a copyrighted book be
low tho price flxod by tho publishers
Is an Infringement of copyright Tho
Bobbs-Merrill company publlshod a
novel nnd stipulated In a printed no
tice that it should not bo sold for less
than $1 per copy. Tho house of Macy
sold tho work for 89 contB and suit
was brought accordingly in tho cir
cuit court of tho Unltod States for tho
southern district of New York, but
tho bill was dismissed. A like result
followed whon the caso was appealed
to tho district court of appeals.
The suit was based on tho theory
that tho right to dlsposo of a copy
righted work gives the owner tho
right to placo restrictions on its sale.

HONEST ELECTION IN PANAMA
Five Hundred American Marines Will
Be at Polling Places.
The Panama campaign which 1b to cul
minate In an election tho first week in
July, has recently developed "revolu
tionary tendencies" to such an extent
as to cause grave concern and tho se
rious intention to employ severo meas
ures on tho part of tho American gov
ernment to Insure a fair and honest
election, probably tho first in the his
tory of Central American politics. The
600 American marines stationed on
tho isthmus will bo detailed on tho
two election days to the 100 polling
places. As some of the precincts will
need no armed supervision and others
may need moro than a handful of
troops, tho marines will bo distributed
where they will do the most good in
tho way of preserving order.
Tho contest is between Vlco Presi
dent Obaldla and Secretary of State
Arias.
Tho call for a personal report from
Minister Squires Is tho result, It is
explained, of theso now developments.
At tho samo time, Mr. Squires may be

Final Actlcn on Overture from Ger
man Presbyterians Asking for Inde
pendent 8ynod la Deferred Until
Next Assembly.
In eoloctlng tho oxocutlvo commis
sion of tho church boforo final
adjournment tho tenth gonoral assem
bly of tho Prosbyterlan church in the
Unltod States consummated tho most
Important act of Its ontlro ten days'
deliberations at Kansas City.
Tho commission chosen is repre
sentative of tho entire country and
follows:
Elected for one year: Ministers,
Baxter P. Fullerton, modorator, St.
Louis; Joseph Weaver, Donvor; J. F.
Bushnell, Minneapolis; elders, ox-Sec
retary of State John W. Foster, Wash
ington, D. C; H. B. McCormick, Har
rlsburg, Pa.
Elected for two years: Ministers,
S. M. Temploton, Texas; Robert Was
son, Cincinnati; olders, John W. Soy
orance, Cleveland; Edward Bulkeloy
New Jersey, and' Thomas L. Hall, Chi
cago. Elected for threo years: Ministers,
J. D. Moffat, Washington, Pa.; W. II.
Black, Missouri; W. H. Hubbard, Now
York; elders, J. Willis Barr, Los An
geles and Judge J. M. Gaut, Nashville.
Dr. William II. Roberts of Philadel
phia, tho stated clork, is secretary of
the commission.
Legal and administrative questions
occupied most of the sessions of tho
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church. The routine of this procedure
was relieved somowhat by tho prelim
inary skirmishing of tho adherents of
Denver and Seattle for next year's as-
Bombly. The excitement was all in
tho preliminaries, howover, as tho as
sembly voted almost unanimously for
Denver on tho first ballot and subse
quently tho voto was made unanimous.
Tho assembly will meet In Denver on
tho third Thursday In May. Denver's
offer of a bonus of $15,000, her moro
favorable location and tho fact that
the soml-centonnlal colobratlon of the
Presbyterian church In Colorado will
bo held In 1009, wore powerful argu
ments in influencing tho vote.
An overturo from tho German-speaking
Prosbytorlano, asking for homo
rule, or Independent presbyteries, em
bodied in tho report of tho committee
of polity, was of surpassing Import
ance. The Germans, carried tho mat
ter direct to the general assembly, in
stead of consulting local synods, who,
they thought, would not approve tho
creation of now presbyteries In their
torrltory. Tho general assembly con
sidered tho question of Jurisdiction
and decided it would bo a bad prece
dent to act lndopondontly of tho
synods affoctod. While approving tho
establishment of the now presbyteries,
the assembly doclded that final ac
tion would bo deferred urftll the next
assembly, bo local synods could bo
consulted.
This question is of special concern
to tho Gorman population of Illinois,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Missouri, Indiana and' Ohio. This is
the third assembly which has had tho
subject under consideration. Tho
Gorman churches want their own
synod, to bo called tho Gorman Bynod
of the west, and to have threo presby
teries, to bo called tho Galena, Georgo
and Waukon presbyteries.

Whipped Off Baltimore and Ohio Flyer
While Rounding Curve.
Twenty passengers were Injured,
three of them probably fatally, when
the observation parlor car on tho flyer
train on the Baltlmoro and Ohio rail
road, bound from Chicago to New
York, left tho rails two miles from
Garrett, Pa., and plunged down an
embankment. That nono was killed Is
considered miraculous.
While rounding a sharp curve, tho
observation car swung from tho
tracks. Tho train was running on
schedule tlmo and, like the crack of a
whip, tho coupling snapped and the ob
servation car was thrown down an
embankment, Tho passengers were
scattered pell melt. A number who
were seated on tho platform under an
awning were pitched far Into the air,
alighting clear of the wreck, but
among stones and cinders, causing
painful Injuries to all. Others were
thrown Into a heap to the floor and
showered with broken glass.

TRADE REVIEW FOR THE WEEK
Weather, Crop and Business Reports
Are Irregular.
Bradstreet'B says: Crop and trade re
ports are Irregular. There aro Bomo
rather less reassuring advices from
somo sections as to tho leading crop,
duo mainly to excesslvo rainfall In
wide areas; bad roads are a necessary
result of this and trade In affected
sections naturally has suffered. In
other places, where a few days of
warm weather has Intervened, trade Is
bettor, In many instances being due
to reductions, which havo resulted In
large stocks of goods being cleaned
up. Taken as a whole the eastern
and central western states send best
reports as to final distribution. In
some primary lines of distribution the
bettor feeling nOtod some tlmo ago
has become more1 widespread. Thus,
in cotton goods reductions or ad
vances In quotations havo Induced
more demand, and tho same Is truo of
leather, pig Iron, some kinds of ma
chinery and railroad track suppllea.
In some lines of Industry, particularly
tho textllo branches, there is a dispo
sition to put more people and ma
chinery to work or to run a longer
time, but whether this Is a mereiy
temporary reaction from earlier In
tense dullness or whether It Is a defi
nite turn for tho better Is debated bv
somo observers. That business la
much less active in many lines than a
year ago Is without question.
