Peace Treaty Pappes the Senate With No rotes to Spare General Miles Next on the Court of Inquiry List. Four or llvo senators kopt their col leagues and tho public guessing at to how they would voto on tho treaty of pnnoocloar up to tho willing of their names, when tho voto was taken, ami theirs wcro tho deciding votes, too. Under ordinary circumstances, with bo important n matter as a treaty of peaco under consideration, such a stnto of af fairs would have produced tho most intense excitement at Washington, lint the oircumxtniiecs in this caso wore not ordinary, hence thcro was no oxcitemont.only curiosity. Everybody knew that while thu vote could ratify tho treaty it could not finally reject it, because the fiiiluro of sixty or mor,o senators to voto for ratification would only result in postponing thu rntihoa Hon of tho treuty uutil tho meeting of an extra session, immediately follow ing the close of tho present session. And tho curiosity was more to know how many democratic senators would follow Sonator G rruan in voting against tho treaty, against tho ndvico of Col. Bryau, and how many republi can and populist senators would aid Mr. Gorman in his attempt to wrest tho loadosship of his party from Col. llryan, than how tho treaty would como out. Of course, thoso who had no Dorsonal interest in tho matter, re- grottud to boo a quostlon of partisan leadership tiguroing in such business as tho consideration of a treaty, be cause they think it lowered us in tho estimation of tho world, furnishing our foroigu critics a right to say that with Americans nothing is too high or too sacred to be dragged into party politics at times. It is juit us well however for thoao same foroign critics to re member that wo didn't drag any par tisan politics into our fighting, and that wo won't whon wo havo occasion to tight auothor foreign war. A very serious charge has boon made by Mr. Koegan, who appeared boforo tho sonato committeo on education and labor, to represent tho Interna tional Mechanics Union, llo said that contraots for gun-carriages nnd guns, which had boon awarded to tho Cramp Ship Building Company, and tho Max-iui-Nordonfnldt Company, had been oxecuted at tho Washington navy yard aud tho contractors paid in cash the difference between what it cost the government to mnko thu arliclos, nnd tho contract price; that the Cramp company received $17,000 as prollts on its contract, ami tho gun company 1400 ou cauh gun made. Tho com mittee directed Sonator Kylo to inves tigate tho chnrgo. Agents of thu Cramp company and officials at tho navy yard, say that there is no truth in tho chargo; thai the Cramp contract was oauoulled because tho government found that it could do tho work itself, and that tho guns wero mado at a loss to tho contractors. It will now only require a majority voto of tho house to put Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, Col. Campbell, of Illinois; Col. Colson, of Kontuoky, and Major Bobbins of Pennsylvania, formally out of cougress, as the judiciary committeo has reported a resolution declaring that they forfoitcd their seats by ac oopting commissions in the army. Thu oommltteo declined to report a similar resolution concerning thoso members who havo acoeptod places ou civil com- Uli88i0US. If there is any Nicaniugua canal log islatlon at this session, It is likely to bo something radically different from either tho Morgan bill, which passed iho sonato, or thu Hepburn bill, which has been made n substitute for tho Morgan bill, by tho house committeo ou intorstalo aud foreign commerco, as the matter will go to u couferonco .committoe as soon as tho. houso passes the Hepburn bill, wbioh It will do as soon as given nil oppoittihity, and what the conference committee will agree upon Is pine) n matter of conjecture, hut judging from the past, it will In sure to differ from either of tue tirlgi mil hills Thu bonne adopted Giiairman Bui iiiii'rf motion to stilku out of the con greedoiinl lecoid thu u-marks iimili- h Ilepiesortativo Iluwley of Texan, about the Item In the river and harbor bill uppiopi'hitlng 2 10,000 for improve ment of the channel to Texas City, Texas, an alleged boom town which Ohio capitalists inn exploiting to a pos nibleiivulof Galveston, becauo they relleeted upon the integrity of the nieniliets of the committee, but Mr. Hiiwloy lluils consolation in the fact that his speech entiied the uppiopri alion in question to he struck onl of the hill befoio It passed the house. Tho president never hud moio neeil of Hie common sense he has mi often shown himself to bo well supplied with than right now. Ho Is getting much advice nbout what ho should do con cerning the repeated charge of Gen eral Miles, that contractors furnished our soldiers with bad beef. Some of this advice is good, but more of it is bad. Tho latter looks mostly to tho punishment or humiliation of General Miles, in biiiuu way, because he has publicly spoken about things whlcL, strictly speaking, should only havo been reported to tho war department by him. Tho proposal to amend tho army bill, in thu senate, by reviving the grade of lioutcnunt-gonoral, is un derstood to havo been mado to givo tho president nn opportunity to humiliate Gon. Miles, by nominating another of ficer to bo lieutenant-general. Tho best advico glvon to tho president and that most likely to bo uctod upon, is to order n military inquiry, which will provo or disprovo tho charges of Gen. Miles.

The other day tho soldier guards of n bridgo south of town, had a mix-up with tho iusurroctos which was more comio than tragic. Thu bridgo in ques tion was being held by two opposing outposts, tho natives ou ono end, tho Americans on tho other. According to tho story, a nntivo officer warned tho Americans that he would givo them until 0 o'clock in tho morning to vacate their end of tho bridgo. When on the passing of tho fateful hour, tho Ameri cans wero seen to bo still holding down their end of the bridge, the natives looked tierco and camu at them. The Americans, instead of running us was probably expected, lay down their rifles, met thu charging natives half way upon tho bridge, and throw every one of them, guns and nil, into thu stream. At present accounts the bridge is still held down by Americans atone eud aud Filipinos at tho other, but tho latter have no desiro to force our boys from their position." ffl Special prices on Staple Groceries.
