di-lpjration mHoiirn.-il until Saturday, Feb

much as .Inking a vote upon the succes

four hours, frqin 4 uutll 8 o'clock today,
!e delegation debated .what they are
pleased to call tiio constitution or -In
oino other pmOJuulura.. a bill of rights.
It waa.clcur. sailing until they reached
that clauso wikli divided the stats Into
halves or Into ,'IkUis. They were face to

ferod at a previous meeting, which pro
vided' ';that uri equal distribution of fed
eral officers be maintained between the
north and outh I'liitto sections or the
stats as nearly 'a practicable," and
Representative Morris' amendment, which
provides for a division of stale-wide pa
tronage along congressional district lines.
They debated and then some debate and
they voted Judge ' Norrls' amendment In
and they voted It out. or at least there
was sufficient objection . to it to make It
of no force because of an understanding
reached oatiy In the meetings of the del
egation thai a , constitution providing for
the distribution of future at a to patronage
must . have the unanimous consent of all
the republicans representing the state in
the national congress. .
. Th representatives were loath to let the
opportunity pass without making them
selves felt as individual units, and the de
bate today took on an exceedingly HvelyJ
cnaractr. Everybody talked, and they
talked to such an extent that when Benutor
Brown made a motion to adjourn after the
adoption of .the. constitution which shall
bind the, delegutlun during the present con
gress, everybody was glad to get away.

Trlbnte to Allison.
' Bwiator Beverldge In his speech todny In
thcVenate upon his hilh providing for a
tariff commission paid a high tribute to
the senior setiHtor from Iowa, Mr. Allison.
He coupled with the name of Benator
Allison that of Senator Hale of Maine and
singled them out as being too Important to
be sent abroad, because they were needed
In the halls of legislation.
"Suppose," said Senator BeverldRO, "for
example, tho senator from Iowa, Mr. Alli
son, a loved and honored lender of this
l"y, a msn whose work for nearly half
a century liaa so' enriched his country,
which In return so much reveres him, and
who every member of this body, without
regard to party, fervently prays may re
main with us as our leader for many and
many long years to come suppose the sena
tor from Iowa were to leave his tremendous
duties as chairman of the appropriations
committee."

DEATH RECORD.
William Warren gmlth.
P.ERU, Neb., Feb. 6. (Special.) The re
cent death of William TV arm n flmlth of
thla place marks the close of a long andl
well spent life. To the alumni and for
mer students and faculty of the state
Normal school it comes as almost a per
sonal loss. In tho early days of Nebraska,
before It had attained tho dignity of a
state and before the present State normal
waa taken in hand by tho state, when the
Methodists were striving to maintain a
college at Teru and were laboring under
lha disadvantage of no funds, when they
had exhausted every means they could
devise to get money to keep tho school
alive, Mr. Smith came forward with one
half of his 1'jO-acre farm and the ready
money needed to aid the struggling school.
In this manner Mr. Smith became onn of
the ral founders of the State normal at
Peru, and hundreds of young men and
women have hern found tho education
which Mr. Smith sought In tho little log
schoolhouse back In Pennsylvania.

allowed to lie on the table.
When the Indian appropriation bill was
taken up In the bonne today on Its merits
and for the consideration of tho amend
ments much opposition was expreanerl by
Mr. Smith bf Arlsoca to tho sect kin disking
appropriation for collecting and transport
ing Indian pupils to and from schools not
on the reservations. Ho offered an amend
ment to limit tho appropriation to tho
transportation of such pupils only within
the stats In whkih they live. Ho believed,
be said. In the principle that tho Indian
should bo educated, not with the view of
helping himself, but of helpiynit his people,
and charged that In many cases where
Indians had gone back to their reservations
from non-reservation schools they became
the worst Indians of all.
Mr. Gardner of Michigan pointed out
many notable casca where government
educated Indiana had mado a mark In pro
fessional and business tlfe. but Mr. Smith
said that if such was the case It only
resulted In putting the Indian in competi
tion wlthcitisena, whereas he could accom
plish much good among his own people.
This remark brought Mr. Olmsted of
Pennsylvania to his feet with a vigorous
defense op tho Carlisle school. He did not
know, he aaid, of single Instance where
any Carlisle pupil or of the parent of any
such pupil ever raised his hand against
the government. '
PRESIDENT ENDORSES MOM'MEXT
Kindest Words Addressed to Men
Who Wore Gray. '
WASHINGTON, Feb. . In expressing
regret In being unable to attend a lecture
on "Castles In tho Air," to be delivered
her? by Senator Taylor of T.-nnessc8 for
the benefit of the monument to be erected
to the confederate dead at Arlington,
President Roosevelt today heartily en
dorsed tho movement for the monument.
His approval was expressed to a committee
headed by Former Secretary of tho Navy
Hilary A. Herbert anil Former Senator
Faulkner of West Virginia, representing
the Arlington confederate monument as
sociation. Tho president said:
As I have already had to tell you, for
reasons I then gave you, Mr. Herbert, It
Is not possible tor me to attend. If I
broke through my rule In one cafO it w.mlJ
mean I would have to break through In
many others. If there were- any canes In
which 1 could break through. It would be
this, for 1 wish to express my deepen
sympathy with and moet cordial approval
of the purpose and tho Importance of
what you are going to do. The monument
to thu confederate dead which you will
raise will commemorate, among many
scores of things, my mother's half brother
and my mother's own brother, vju went
down In the Alabama, having fired the last
gun from It, hut wan picked up in the
escape and lived fr inanv years after.
When I was at Vlckaburg I was taken
out to see the battlefield, the park as It
now is, and I studied with peculiar rever
ence and attention the inscription on the
Pennsylvania moiniment which you have
Just quoted. I was taken tip to see It
by a bodyguard conipoaed equally of union
and confederate veterans. 1 feel that
among all nations wo have been blessed
peculiarly beyond 1(11 ot hers becauxo now,
the memory of the. ialor shown alike by
the men who wove, .the blue and the men
who wore the gray Is a heritage of honor
for the whole country. Not far from the
monument which will stand to commem
orate the Confederate dead, not far from
the many, monuments commemorating
those who died In the union army, at
Arlington, now stands tho monument to the
soldiers of my regiment, who died at
Santiago, and among those I should say
there are about as many whoso fathers
wore the gray as whose fathers wore the
blue. So In a sense, that little monument
to those who died In the little war helps
to emphasize the reason for tho monument
to those who died In the great war. I
wiali you all success; and I wlah that It
were in my power to do more, and thus
testify, as I am now testifying, to my sym
pathy for tho patriotic endeavor in which
you are engaged.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Feb. .-John
Mitchell, p.-esldent of the Cnitrd Mine
Workers, when asked today In regard to
the rumors to tho effect that there has
ben inaugurated during tho recent mine
workers' convention a movement to endorse
the candidacy of certain aspirants for the
presidency of the United States and for
other political offices, stated that so far
as he knew there wss no foundation for
these rumors. He said, however, that the
members ef the miners' union, together
with all trade unionists affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, were In
terested actively In tho election to all

flrrs of men who were known to be sym
pathetic to the reasonable demands of the

therefore," said Mr. Mitchell, "that they
would oppose the candidacy of aspirants
for political honors who are known to be
unsympathetic or antagonistic to the labor
movement."
STATUS OF THE THAW CASE
He May Be Released In Thirty Days
If Hospital Authorities Con
sider Him Sane.
MATTEA WAN, N. Y.. Feb. 6.-Dr. Lamb,
superintendent of the State Hospital for
the Criminal Insane, said today that If af
ter thirty days or so It is his belief that
Harry K.. Thaw Is sane. It will be within
the province of the hospital authoritiea to
so certify to the court and recommend his
release. A commission In lunacy or other
proceedings would not be necessary, ho
declared.
The physicians at the institution are not
making observations of Thaw as yet, as
they feel that ho has not recovered from
the excitement caused by his recent trial
for the murder of Stanford White. He Is
considered a model prisoner by the phy
sicians and on account of his good be
havior has been allowed certain special
privileges. "
Dr. Brltton D. Kvans, the alienist, and
A. Russell Pcabody. of counsel for Thaw,
todoy visited the patient. Before seeing
Thaw the visitors t'ad a half hour's con
ference with Dr. Lamb. Dr. Evans said
he did not come to Malleawan to make
an examination of Thaw, but merely be
cause the patient appeared to bo cheered

which was onn of six purchased by Mr.
Patterson as trustee at a tax sale. Notice
that a decree would be asked for was given
to the several owners In one publication.
The court holds the notice to the several
different persons describing several differ

notice should have been givfn to each
owner. I
The coin I in the same eatf holds that
irregularities in aasealng taxes Is not
sufficient to set aside a. confirmation of
