New York, January 31.--~The Jatest murder "mystery confront. ing the New York detective force is the strangling to death of an uniden- tified woman, apparently 5 resident of some outside city in a room in the Bryant Hotel on Sixth avenue, Mon. day night. The couple who had occupied the room in which the body was found were registered as "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, of Montclair, N.J." Shortly before the man disappeared from the hotel, the clerk recalled vesterday thai "Smith" had called up a telephone number and held a short conversation with some person. It was determined to ask the company to search the re cords in the hope that the slips might disclose the number and give 5 pos sible clew to the missing man in the case, The murdered woman, who evi dently met her fate alter a desperate struggle, was well dressed, about thirty-eight years of age and of medi um height and weight. She wore , wedding ring and two other rings and had 4 gold mesh purse which was empty. Nothing by which she could be identified was discovered. A towel had been crowded into her throat and | another towel lying near by retained 'an odor resembling that of chloro form. The victim's lips were stained as if by acid. NEW JAPANESE TREATY. Distinct Concessions Will be Made on Immigration Question, Washington, Jan, 31.<With Califor- nia's hand tied because of the ex- position fight, the administration will attempt to force a pew Japanese treaty through congress at this ses sion, it is said, on good authority. President Taft is now almost open- ly in favor of San Francisco in the fight for the 1915 Panama exposition, but it" is said he demands in. return the support of California, or at least her non-interference, rarding the passage of the new treaty, in which distinct concessions are to be made to Japan on the immigration question. | The state department has not yet made ite terms public, but it is well blown from the roof and in- understood that the present "exclusion |g stantly killed.

Ottawa, Jan. 31.--"1 readily and heartily agree that the present con stitution of our senate is susceptible to amendment and improvement," the commons to the gbolition of the upper chamber. "But, to my mind," continued the prime minister, "the house would be - better with plans for reforming rather than designs. for abolishing the second chamber. Personally, 1 should be thankful to find just the proper meth od of reform, aud I am ready to re ceive suggestions from hon. members on either side of the house." Sir Wilfrid spoke towards the close of the debate on the proposition of the Lincoln man, resuscitated from last session. Mr. Lancaster character. ized the object of the upper cham- ber as "the cooling basin in which to temper legislation," and quoted an editorial in The Globe of January 10th, to the effect that the reform of the senate was long overdue. fe ar- gued that there was no necessity for a second chamber in Canada, since the imperial government hat power to disallow Canadian legislation. Sir Wilfrid Laurier directed atten- tion to the situation in Britain. The second chamber was the issue there at the present time. There were two views of dealing with it, but neither proposed total abolition. The fune- tions of a second cham)er, which pro- perly set itself tq its constitutional work, were valuable and frequently necessary. The premier took issue with the suggestion that the power ot disallowance vested in the imperial gove sment furnished the Canadian parlia vent with the constitutional check of a second chamber. Such a remedy would be far worse than none, It would lead inevitably to confusion, and might do worse, and result in in juring the cordial relations with the motherland which rightly obtained. The prime minister expressed his snxiety to find the best method of eof. lecting needed reform. He was inclin- od himself to take issue with the life appointment. A limiled term ap- pointment appealed to, him, but he thought six years too short. "Twelve or fifteen years it would seem Lo me would be better," wae his comment. As to whether the senate should he nominative or elective, he was ready to be convinced. "In my earlier daye,"" he said, "when my hair not as white as it is to-day, I favor. ed that plan of reform under which the provincial legislatures would make the appointments. I had seen the success with which such a method worked out in the United States, But experience of the United States has not been so satisfactory of. lata vears. | am not against that form of selection, but I am not as enthucias- tic for it as TI was in my earlier days." "Perhaps the best principle would be to have part of the appointing delegated to the legislatures and part left in our hands. The country would then secure representatives of differ- ent sections of public opinion and diversified views. fitions the government is formed of men with much human nature, and it is difficult to secure such breadth of opinion as we might contemplate if we had different nominative bodies. All these things are matters for con sideration, and if the matter is brought before the howse again next year it may be that some satisfactory the HOWLED HIM DOWN When He Protested Against Speak. _er's Re-Election.
