Mr. Payno of Now York, In charge of ho

heritance tax bhould not havo gono In tho

especially tho eastern states, levied heavy
lnherltnn&o taxes. But If It was to remain
ho was opposed to reducing the exemption
to $5,000. .The amendment was lost, 45 to 83.

tieth of 1 per cont upon such receipts. His

tions?" 1
"It you will frarao an amendment that

SHORT SESSION ON TREATY
lanator I.odirr Hopea to Secure Agree
ment for Vole on Measure
llefore the Holidays.
WASHINGTON, Doc. 15. Tho senate
transacted no business of Importance to
lay In open session, the ontlro time being
pent In executive session on the Hay
Pauncefoto treaty.
The proceedings today consisted of a
brief speech by Senator Toller, In which be
BUKKCatcd the substitution of thn wnnl
"abrogate" for tho word "supflrsodo" In
tho first of the amendments reported yes
terday by tho committee on foreign rela
tions, tho effect being to declare the Clay-ton-Bulwcr
treaty abrognted In express
terms. Ho then made an argument In
support of this suggestion, contending that
any nation has a right to abrogate a treaty
entered Into with another nation. Ho said
that If the committee Intended the old
treaty to bo abrogated that word should
be used.
When Mr. Toller concluded, Mr. Lodgo
renewed his efforts to get a time fixed for
a vote.
Senator Allon objected outright to tho
first proposition for a vote upon the treaty
at a tlmo to be named, and when Senator
Aldrlch asked If a vote could not be had
today on some amendments to tho treaty,
Senator Monoy objected. Ho said that
being tho only member of tho senate com
mittee on foreign relations who wholly op
posed tho treaty, he felt that ho was en
titled to amplo time to state hU objec
tions, and added that he meant to state
them If It becamo necessary for him to
occupy the entire tlmo between today and
the date fixed for tho Christmas adjourn
ment. Ho said that If there was an effort
to drive blm he would undertake to occupy
all thlr time. Senator Aldrlch responded
that ho had no doslro to drive Senator
Money or nny other senator, but that his
only dcslro wns to get the treaty out of tho
way of other matters.
Tho senato adjourned a few mlnutos
later. After tho session, Senator Lodge
expressed, himself as confident of securing
an agreement to vote before the holiday
adjournment.
In addition- to the amendments to the
treaty suggested by the committee on for.
"Ign rolatlous, many were offered by In
dividual senators.
Senator Mason gavo notice of tho follow
ing amendment which be said ho would
offer on Monday, when he would address the
senate: '
"If the government of the United States
shall construct, at Its own expense. Iho
said canal, then nothing herein contained
shall prevent the United States from pro
tecting said cnnnl In any way It may deem
best for tho interests of the United Slates."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. Inquiry nt tho
War department discloses tho fact that a
record Is on fllo thoro In the case of Linns
Skinner, a Connecticut volunteer, who Is
roportcd In tho news dispatches to havo
boon sontonced to death in tbo Philippines
for sleeping on post. This record chowo
that tho charge upon which Skinner wn
tried was drunkenness on duty and leav
ing his post. Ho wns convicted by court
martial and sentenced to lmprlsonmont for
six months. The reviewing authorities ro
ductd this period to four months and It s
assumed hero thnt Skinner Is now sorvlns
this sentence. So, unless ho has committer
another Offense, n report ot which has not
yet renched tho department (which Is
scnrcoly probable In vlow of tho fact that
ho should bo now serving a period of Im
prisonment), It Is not posslblo that lie
should havo bocn sentenced to death on
tho charge alleged. In fact tho records o?
the department show that up to dato no
American snldlor has, during tho recent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. It Is learned at

bishop and bishop In tho United States, as
well as elsewhere, Is expected by Popo Loo
to clebrate high mass pontlflca nt

no Impediments to lntorfero with the

have two prelates laboring In conjunction,
It, is said that while the archbishop ot tho

prelate or assistant, will conduct a similar
service at the church which ho governs as

It Is understood that tho century's cloo
will bo marked by extreme acts of devotion
on the part of Catholic clergy everywhere,
by renson of tho pope's desire that they
specially signalize the event. At Uiltlmorc
Cardinal Olbbons will conduct the com
meraoratlvo rites, whllo his coadjutor,
tllshop Alfred Curtis, presides nt oue ot tha

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. The houso com
mittee on census began Its consideration
of the reapportionment bill today and by
n voto of 6 to 5 expressed a preferenco for
leaving the representation of tho houso
of representatives nt 337 ns at proscnt.
This vote wns not considered a finality,
however, as several members were not
present, but was tnken mainly ns a pre
liminary test of tho sentiment of mem
bers. Thero nro a number of bills before the
committee, but tho main discussion turned
on the Hopkins bill, keeping the total of
the house as nt present, nnd tho llurlelgh
bill, Increasing ho total. The voto wns
taken on this Issue between leaving tho
houso as nt present or Increasing without
reference to any particular bill. In order
to permit absent members to bo present
and voto the committee adjourned until 2
o'clock on Monday. Chairman Hopkins
says ho hopes a favorable report will bo
agreed upon nt that tlmo, in which case
ho will "report tho bill at once nnd en
denvor to tnko It up In tho houso next
Tuesday.
Tho advocates of Increasing tho mem
bership of tho houso do not consider tho
voto of today as In any way decisive, us
ono ot tlo absent members wbb quoted
nt tho meeting ns favorable to nn Increase
and tho other absent member Is said to
bo" doubtful, but rather Inclined to nn In

adjournment In order to postpone final
action until tho nbsentecs wero present.
They succeeded In this, cnrrylng tho ad
journment ngnlnst tho wishes of thoso

by tho arrival of Mr. Kussoll of Connecti

had been out ot health for tho past flvo years with kidney nnd bladder trouble. Had
our best physicians prescribe for me. Thoy would relievo mo for tho time being, but
the old complaint would tn a short tlmo return again. I Bent for a sample bottle ot
Swsmp-Root nnd I found It did me a world of good. Slnco thon I have taken eight
small bottles bought at my drug store and I consider myself perfectly cured. It
seemed as though by back would break In two after stooping. I do not have to get
up during the night to urinate, as I formorly did three or four times a night, but now
sleep tho sleep ot poace. My back Is all right again nnd in every way I am a now
man. Two of my brothor ofllcora are still using Swamp-Root. They, like mysolf, can
not say too much In praise ot It. It li a boon to mankind. We recommend It to
all humanity who are suffering from kidney nnd bladder diseases.
My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as mysolf,
thank you for tho blessing you have brought to the human race In the compounding
