SMOOT'S CASE CONSIDERED.
Senate Discusses Question of Utah
Man's Eligibility.
Washington, Nov. 13.Immediately
upon assembling the senate plunged
into a discussion of the question of the
eligibility of Mr. Reed Smoot of Utah
to a seat in the senate. The debate
grew out of the remarks made
Wednesday by Mr. Hoar, saying that
petitions bearing upon Mr. Smoot's
case are as much out of place as
would similar petitions to the supreme
court of the United States be in the
interest of any case beL re that
tribunal.
Mr. Dubois (Ida.) took issue with
Mr. Hoar's remarks and presented his
views in connection with the petitions
for Mr. Smoot's expulsion which were
presented by himself.
Mr. Hale (Me.) took the position
that the question of Mr. Smoot's eligi
bility had been improperly raised at
this time. He referred briefly to the
moral aspects of the Smoot case and
said that grave as they are they are
not more important than "the intru
sion of a great religious hierarchy like
the Mormon church into the political
affairs of the country." He suggested
to the senate the importance of not
prejudging the case.

Williams and John Gater, other mem
bers of the crowd, were similarly

the Ottoman Government to
Great Danger.
Constantinople, Nov. 13.It trans
pired during the day that, the latest
Austro-Russian note to the porte con

further refusal to accept the reform
scheme will expose the Ottoman em

cepted entirely and without delay.
Paris, Nov. 13.Official advices re
ceived here confirm the Associated
Press dispatches announcing that the
ambassador of Austria and Russia at
Constantinople recently presented a
joint note to the porte insisting on
Turkey's acceptance with brief de
lay of the Austro-Russian plan for ad
ministering the reforms irt Macedonia.
The note does not fix the limit for the
delay, so it is not considered to be an
ultimatum, but the insistence of ac
tion with brief delay is regarded as
showing the imperative nature of the
communication. Although no resort
to coercive measures is suggested, ac
cording to the advices received here,
it is understood that these are likely
to follow if the delay is protracted.
