rtERLTN. Feb. 19 Emperor WHllam
Opened the, new Reichstag today, read Inn
tha speech (mm the throne In a clear, loud
voice, with considerable elocutionary effect.
Referring to the foreign relations of Ger
many and to Internal peace he Bald:
The general political situation entitles us
to the assurance that peace will continue
to be preserved. My government maintains
with our allies all our. old henrtfelt rela
tions and with the other powers good and
correct relations. The treaty with Den
mark, signed January 2, which wns de
signed to remove disturbing differences by
regulating the status of children In choos
ng their nationality, will, I am sure,
strengthen the friendly relations with our
northern neighbors.
In regard to the approaching conference
S-t The Hague the emperor said:
Following the suggestion of the United
States and the proposals of Russia, t have
accepted an Imitation totfhe second peace
conference at The Hague, which. In view
of the results of the Hrt Hague confer
ence, will be calculated to develop further
the laws among nations for the good of
fcumanlty and of peace.
Coaa-ratulutee Coaatry.
Alluding to the results of the recent elec
tions to the Reichstag the emperor said:
The German people were called upon to
decide a difference of opinion between the
federated governments and the former
Reichstag and demonstrated their resolu
tion to safeguard the people and property
of the nation by putting aside all narrow
party spirit. The strong national feeling
that united our citizens, peasants and la
borers wlU effectively protect the father
jand in tha future. Just as I am willing to
observe conscientiously all my constitu
tional rights and 'privileges, so am I con
ftdent the new Reichstag, composed of In
telligent men. ready to act, will acknowl
edge that Ha highest duty la to preserve
and strengthen our position among civilized
nations.
. Continuing, the speech announced the ap
proaching Introduction of various govern
tnsnt measures In Pallament, among them
being the supplementary budget for the
Expenses In German Southwest Africa.

It takes sunshine to produce a rose, a

And why la that so many peddle dis

As the emperor ceased speaking and

custom, proposed three cheers for his

the emperor left the hall.
BRITISH WANT COLONIAL MEAT

LONDON. Feb. 19. The War office Is
taking stops to ascertain the possibility of
obtaining for the British army larger sup
plies of canned meats from Australia and
New Zealand, i so that the contracts with
the American packers may be reduced In
the near future.
When the government was questioned In
the House of Commons this afternoon as
to whether the colonies could not be given
the first chance to obtain the nest con
tracts, Mr. Buchanan, financial secretary
of the War office, said that In anticipation
of an Increased demand and In view of the
stories regarding American canned meats
last summer, as well as the government's
desire for a wider area for supply, a rep
resentative had been sent to Australia and
New Zealand to report on the methods of
packing houses there and the capacity of
these colonies to furnish canned meats.

WA8HTNOTON. Feb. 19.-8onator Ree-i
Smoot's address to the senate today In
defense of his position as senator was the
feature of the session. He was supported
by Senator Dillingham of Vermont In an
analytical speech of the evidence which had
been submitted In the case.
The senate spent several hours In further
consideration of the forestry provisions In
the agricultural appropriation bill, with
the result that several amendments were
agreed to which restrict the operations of
the bureau In several respects. The sec
tion of the bill had not been completed
when a recess was taken for the evening
session. At the night session several bills
not of general Importance were passed.
Mr. Smoot's Address.
Senator Smoot addressed the senate on
the general subject of Mormonlsm. He
condemned polygamy In the strongest terms
and declared emphatically that he had
taken no oath Inconsistent with that he
had taken as senator. Mr. Smoot spoke
In part as follows:
Mr. President: In what I shall say to
the senate, i do not Intend to analyse the
voluminous testimony taken before the
committee or to make an argument thereon.
The greater part of this teatlmony haa
been before the senate for more than two
rears, and all of it for nearly one year,
t has been fully argued by the dlstSi
gulshed senators who have already spoken
upon this question. My. own testimony,
covering more than 125 pages of the record.
Is before you, and I do not feel that I
should trespass upon your time by Indulg
ing In any extended discussion.
The senate Is entitled to know my per
sonal attitude upon the subject of polyg
amy any upon the subject of loyalty to
this government. L'pon these two matters
I shall express myself briefly, but with en
tire candor. ,
First. I desire to state, as I have 're
peatedly heretofore stated, to the senate
and to the country, that I am not and
never have been a pnlygamlst. I have
never had but one wife and she is my
present wife.
There has been a morn or less prevalent
opinion that the doctrine of polygamy was
obligatory upon the members of the Mor
mon church, when, in truth and fact, no
such obligatory doctrine has ever existed.
The revelation concerning polygamy, as
originally made and as always Interpreted,
Is permissive and not mandatory. As a
matter of fact, only a small percentage of
the adherents of that faith have ever been
polygamlutB. The vast majority of the
adult members, from Its foundation to the
present, have been monogamists.
' When Manifesto Issued.
The Mormon people, however, regarded
this doctrine, although permissible In
character, as part of their religious faith,
and when the law was passed denouncing
its practice, the execution of the law was
resisted on the ground that it was uncon
stitutional, as being an Interference with
th lr religious liberty. Appeals were taken
to the highest courts of the land, every
phase of the subject was tested In the
courts and the law was upheld. Then thfl
church adopted the manifesto against
polygamy, which was ratified by the general
conference of the people,- and thereupon
the practice of polygamy for the future
was abandoned.
This manifesto, adopted In 1890. discon
tinuing plural marriages, has been pre
sented and discussed in church conferences
repeatedly, sent out In the church book,
"The Articles of Faith," and In many
other publications issued by the church.
Consequ-ntly, its text, tenor and purpose
in prohibiting marriages violative of law
are known to every member of the church
in every part of the world.
But the practice which had prevailed In
the period previous to 1S90 left a heritage
for the succeeding period that was a grave
problem. There were in W90 about 2.451
male members of the Mormon church who
had polygamous families. That the-e were
placed in a position of difficulty was rec- I
ognlzed by all who were familiar with con- I
ditlons. The present conditions with ref-
erence to polygamous cohabitation have (
grown out of past conditions, and both
must be considered together to fully under
stand the toleration exercised by most of
the people of Utah, Mormon and non
Mormon alike.
The status of the men who had entered
Into the plural marriage relation before
the Issuance of the manifesto had been
fixed before that time. There was no
power In the church or In the law to
change that existing fact. What had been
done had been Irrevocably done. The only
Question waa as to the future. What
should be the attitude of the people toward !
tne ruture relations or tnose wm naa en
tered into the polygamous status before
the manifesto? This problem was a seri
ous one.
One I'olysrantlst Recently Elected.
Of the seven apostles chosen since April,
ISXi, when 1 was named, only one was a
polyganilHta. the other six being monogam
ists. The only polygainist chosen an
apostle since 1HW7 is now a years of age i
and entered into that relationship before
the manifesto. At the time of his selec
tion his youngest child was 22 years of
age. He has been a member of the church
for over half a century, performing faith
ful and distinguished service during most
of this long period. It was on account of
this long, faithful service that I voted for
lilra to be an apostle. Nothing could have
Induced nie to vote for him If he had been
guilty of taking a plural wife since the
manifesto.
Of the nlnety-slx members of presi
dencies of "stakes" (ecclesiastical subdivi
sions) in 15) forty-seven, or about one
half, were polyKamista. Of 165 such prom
inent church ntllelals in 19ui the increase
In number being because or the creation of !
new etanes only sixteen, or less man
10 per cent, were polygamlsts.
But, Mr. President, it Is claimed that
thete have been new cases of polygamous
marriages since the manifesto, and this
presents sltogether a different question. I
have no hesitation In declaring to the sen
ate and to the American people that. In
my opinion, any man who has married a
polvgamnus wife since the manifesto
should be prosecuted and. If convicted,
should suffer the penalties of the law.
The testimony taken before the com
mittee tends to show that there have been
some polygamous marriages since thu
manifesto. I believe sincerely, Mr. Presi
dent, that surh cases have boen rare. They
have not received the sanction or encour
agement of the church. But I submit
that It would be a remarkable thing If, In
the course of sixteen years, there should
not have been occasional Instances of new
polygamy.
Ia DeSance of C'hareh,
If any of these enses are actually cases
of attempted assumption of polygamous re
lations, such sttenipt Is not only without
the sanction and approval of the Mormon
church, but Is In vhe face of and In detlanco
of its most solemn protest anil admonition.
The Mormon church has stopped plural
marr'.aRes and no polygamous relation as
sumed subsequent to lau Is with the per
mission, sanction, or approval of th
church ; that Is final and fixed. Every such
violation of the law has the express
condemnation of the church. The mani
festo of 1X was submitted to and approved
by tbe conference of the church. It cannot
le reappeuled, modified or susiiended. except
by the same power that enacted It.
Reference has been made to an alleged
treasonable obligation, which It la Sought
to claim is a part of the Mormon endow
ment ceremonies. The eer.ate will under
stand that these ceremonies are of a sacred
character to those participating In them,
and are therefore not divulged They w. re
Instituted In the Mormon church by Joseph
Smith, some time prior to his death and sre
yet given as part of the temple ceremonies,
being of a religious, spiritual character,
they are for the bving and the dead a

oi Hostile to lotted States.
There does not exist In the endowment
ceremonies of the Mormon church the re
motest suggestion of hostility or of
antagonism to the United States or to any
other nation. They are of a purely religi
ous nature, wholly between the persons
taking them end his Clod, and, as with the
ritual of various fraternal organisations,
regarded as sacred and secret.
Adverting to the religious and spiritual
character of those ceremonies, It is con
ceded that such character in ceremonies
often has an Influence on the conscience
u.id conduct of the persons concerned.
There Is not a solitary Instance, where
that influence in the endowment ceremonies
has been displaying In an act of hostility
to the government. If any effect has bein
wielded. It has been for the most devoted
loyalty to our own nation.
The application In this respect, as to the
lovalty of the Mormon people, can be
brought home readily. We will pass by the
Incident of the Mormon exiles from Nauvoo
furnishing a battalion for the United
Slates army for the war with Mexico: the
action of the Utah pioneers In raising the
American flan In the Salt Lake valley.
when that was Mexican soli; the tidelLy
of Utah to the union duilng the civil war,
and come to the period of the Spnnlsh
Amcrican war and the Insutrecllon In the
Philippines. The state of Utah came Into
the union eleven years ago. Scarce two
years had passed when ther apepared on
our national horizon the cloud of war with
bpaln. Side by side, shoulder to shoulder,
with every other state In the union, Utah
furnished Its full quota of American
soldiers and offered more. There was no
question of religious distinction or dispute
then. The Utah light artillery waa com
posed of men of differing religious beliefs.
Including orthodox Mormons, who had par
taken of their church rites known as the
endowment ceremonies. Major Richard W.
Young, the commanding officer of the Utah
light artillery, was one of thes?; Sergeant
Harry A. Young and others who gave up
their lives for the flag were among this
number. And Insofar as these endowment
ceremonies may have reference to this gov
ernment an unreserved and undlsputably
accurate Intrept elation ia given by thu
record of the Mormons mustered into the
Utah light artillery, which served in the
war with Spain and during the subsequent
Philippine insurrection. No man has a
right to question that Interpretation; no
true American will do It; It is inscribed
in letters of fire by the history of many
a battle field.
DeSance to Detainers.
And here In the senate of their country
men, upon the incontrovertible witness
borne by the brave survivors and the
heroic dead of the Utah light artillery,. I
hurl back the charge of the defamer that
there ever was a word of breath of hostil
ity or disloyalty in the sacred religious
ceremonies, which they, or any other per
sons participated in, as members of the
Mormon church.
In closing, let me say under my obliga
tion as a senator that what I have said
under oath before the committee, that I
have never tak-n auy oath or obligation,
religious or otherwise, which conflicts In
the slightest degree with my duty as a
senator or as a citizen. I owe no allegiance
to any church, or other ofganlzation, which
tn any way Interferes with my suprme al
legiance, in civil affairs, to my country
an allegiance which I freely, fully and
gladly give.
Mr. Smoot read his speech, which was de
volu of oratorical effort, and the senator's
voice at no time was raised above the
conversational tons.
There was only a flr attendance of
senators a id the gallery was half filled.
The meagerness of the audience was due
to the fact that the senate met at the un
usual hour of 11 o'clock. Mr. Smoot was
warmly congratulated by many senators
when he took his seat. He was followed
by Senator Dillingham, who made an argu
ment In support of the Utah senator.
"After the clear, concise, frank and free
statement of the senator from Utah, It
would seem that nothing more was to
be said," said Mr. Dillingham. He then
called' atterjon to the protest which had
been filed and the long and searching in
quiry of the committee. The cost of In
quiry to date, he said, had been more than
125.000.
The result was that no criticism could
be made of Mr. Smoot's character, of his
constitutional qualifications pr of his elec
tion to the senate;.
Mr. Dillingham said that his personal
inquiry of persons stgntng petitions
against Senator Smoot invariably dis
closed the belief of these persons that
Senator Smoot was a polygsmlst, which
was wt true.
SHIP SIBSIDY BILL IN THE IIOISE
Llttaner Measure Will Probably Be
Considered at Night Sessions.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19-8hlp subsidy
will probably be considered by the house
at night sessions late this week. Speaker
Cannon and Representative Watson, the
republican whip, conferred with the presl- '
dent concerning the matter today, and al
though no positive agreement haa been
reached, Mr. Watson said that It now
seems that the Llttauer bill will be con
sidered on the floor. In case the subsidy
measure is taken up by the house it will
probably be under a rule limiting the debate
to two evenings and the bill will be subject
to smentlinefil. ,

AT THE DAYLIGHT STORE
which the house will probably dispose of
tomorrow, the measure limiting the hours
of railway employes to sixteen out of
twenty-four will be taken up at the day
sessions of the house. The sundry civil
bill will then Be brought forward and there
has been a general .refusal to grant ship
subsidy any time during the remaining
days of the session. Its friends asked for
consideration at night. They Beem now to
be about to win their point, although tho
general Impression Is that the subsidy bill
will be bitterly attacked on the floor and
amended In many ways. If not defeated
entirely.
AGRICULTURAL DILL IX BEXATE
Forestry Service Attacked by Several
Senators and Section Is Amended.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. -Discussing the
agricultural appropriation bill In the senate
today, Mr. Aldrlch said he had been In
formed that 1.6R6 employes had been taken
Into the government service by the Depart
ment of Agriculture since the present ses
sion of congress began. Senator Proctor
admitted that very many employes had
been added to the force of the department,
but the additions had been necessary to
enforce the pure food and meat Inspection
laws. Complaint had been made, he re
marked, that the civil service commission
could not furnish the employes fast enough.
Senator Clark made successful war on a
senate amendment which he declared would
permit officials of the forestry bureau to
travel from the north pole to the southern
cross at the expense of the government.
In this connection he gave Instances where
the chief forester had gone to the far west
and "rounded up" the two conventions .of
cattlemen with eighteen of his forest
rangers, whose traveling expenses snd
hotel bills the government paid. He also
charged them with attending political con
ventions and state legislatures and with
general activity of that character at gov
ernment expense. He asserted that while
his confidence in the chief forester and the
secretary of agriculture wag unbounded,
he believed under the terms of the amend
ment that the 32,000,000 proposed to be ap
propriated for this bureau might be used
to pay traveling expenses. The proposed
amendment, which was voted out ' of , the
bill, authorised the forester "to conduct
investigations and experiments In the City
of Washington or elsewhere."
The senate committee Increased from
3500,000 to $1,000,000 the amount of a fund to
be used to build roads, fences, telephones
and other Improvements In forest reserves
In the discretion of the secretary of agri
culture. The senate reduced this amount
to 3500,000, and made 3r25,0OO Immediately
available.
Provisions were then adopted which here
after will require detailed estimates for
expenditures of the forestry bureau and
detailed reports regarding all such ex
penditures. Another provision adopted
abolishes the special fund which has been
accumulated by the forestry bureau from
the sale of timber, grazing leaser, etc.,
after July 1 next, by providing that all
such revenues shall be turned into the
treasury.
It was pointed out by Senators Warren,
Flint and Newlands that by cutting off
this special revenue the resources ofr the
forestry bureau which had been counted on
for Its support had practically been cut
In half. Senator Proctor remarked that
by the temper of the senate he took It
that such was the purpose of the senate,
and not an Inadvertence.
Senator Hemenway figured up tha re
sources of the bureau for the year to be
32.500,000, which he believed ample.
An amendment was adopted at the sug
gestion of Senator Galllnger prohibiting
any charge for the conservation or use
