It witnessed the three shots fired

equal to about one fifth of a degree

that this deflection from a straight line
had been continued throughout the en
tire range of the gun which is said
to be between twenty and twenty one

The projectile would have described a

3POONER ACT TO BE TACKED TO
CANAL TREATY
EICHT OPPOSING PAMPHLETS
The Senator from Alabama Prints and
Distributes a Number of Voluminous
Documents Attacking the Isthmian
Protocol
I TV
WASHINGTON Senator Morgan
on Friday secured his first material
concession in connection with the
canal treaty This consists of an
agreement to attach the Spooner ca
nal act bodily to the treaty
This change was made in compli
ance with a request presented by
Ssenator Lodge during the days exe
cutive session of the senate who sug
gested that no injury could result and
unanimous consent was given to the
proposal It was specifically stipulat
ed however that it did not amount to
an amendment
Senator Morgan consumed the en
tire time of the remainder of the clos
ed session discussing the canal ques
tion from various points of view He
discussed particularly the attitude of
1
the isthmian canal commission
He expressed a desire to have cop
ies of the correspondence between the
government and the nw Panama Ca
nal company on the option to pur
chase the canaJ for 40000000 and
the senate consented to request the
secretary of state for the correspond
ence
The papers had not arrived at 330
and as Senator Morgan said he could
not continue without them Senator
Cullom moved that the senate ad
journ and this motion prevailed
During the day there was more or
less informal discussion of the propo
sition to permit Senator Morgan to
publish his remarks in the Congres
sional Record but no effort was made
to reach a decision Senator Cullom
takes the position that this permis
sion should not be granted unless
Senator Morgan will agree to allow a
day to be fixed for a vote
During the day Senior Morgan dis
tributed copies of eight pamphlets on
the treaty in which he attacks it from
almost every conceivable ground He
declares the new canal company ille
gally constructed the arrangements
with Colombia of doubtful validity
and repeats his charges of oribery

TREATY REPORT
SENATE COMMITTEE DISPOSES OF
ONE PROTOCOL
CUBAN TREATY OH WEDNESDAY
Some Think It an Important Question
That Might Be Delayed Until Regu
lar Session of Congress Miscel
laneous Washington Matters
WASHINGTON The senate com
mittee on foreign relations on Monday
agreed to favorably report the Colom
bian canal treaty to the senate
No action was taken on the Cuban
or other reciprocity treaties The
Colombian treaty was reported as in
the former session without amend
ment
When the senate went into executive
session Senator Cullom reported the
treaty and it was ready at length as
the rules of the senate require Un
der the rules an objection carried the
treaty over for one day before it could
be considered
Senator Morgan objected to its con
sideration He stated that he desired
to have the Spanish copy of the treaty
so as to compare it with the English
text It is expected that a draft in
Spanish will be sent to the senate by
the state department
Members of the committee on for
eign relations express the opinion that
there will not be any great delay in
the ratification of the treaty In the
committee meeting Senator Clark of
Montana who succeeds Senator
Bailey as a member was present
During the session of the committee
Senator Morgan offered to consent to
a vote on the canal treaty on Satur
day providing the senate would allow
him to print such remarks as he want
ed in the Congressional Record or as
a public document
Members of the committee later dis
cussed the Dronosition with other
senators and the consensus of opinion
seemed to be against granting this
permission Some of the remarks here
tofore made by Senator Morgan re
flected rather severely on the Colom
bian government and especially on
the presiednt of Colombia and sena
tors think it would he inadvisable to
give official sanction to such utter
ances It also is feared that the
Colombian government might take of
fense and fail to ratify the treaty
The committee will take up the
Cuban treaty on Wednesday Quite a
number of democratic senators are op
posed to it and while they say they
have no desire to prevent a vote they
intend briefly to speak The repub
licans count on three or four more
votes than the necessary two thirds
majority to ratify it There is a prob
ability of some discussion of the con
stitutional rights of the senate to
make a treaty affecting the revenues
of the government without concur
rence of the house of representatives
Some opponents of the treaty have
said that they think it is such an im
portant question that it might be de
layed until the regular session of con
gress Others have suggested that
there should be an amendment pro
viding that the treaty should not be
come operative until its provisions
have been approved by the house
Some members of the committee
think that this much disputed ques
tion ought to go to the supreme court
and be settled there It is the present
intention of the committee to press
the treaty to a vote as soon as the
Colombian nrotocol is out of the way
GERMAN TRADE CONDITIONS
Exports to the United States Show a
Large Increase
WASHINGTON D C Reviewing
Germans commercial record for the
past year Consul General Frank H
Mason at Berlin in a report to the
state department declares that while
a few branches of manufacture and
trade experienced a partial recovery
the year as a whole belonged to the
period of over production collapse and
panic which began in the summer of
1900 and has caused the condition
still prevalent wherein prices of food
and raw materials are above all logi
cal relation to the market values of
finished products
Referring to German trade with the
United States the consul general calls
attention to the notable increase in
German exports to this country
amounting to 1477S770 distributed
through twenty five consular districts
ENGLAND INCREASES NAVY
More Ships More Officers and More
Men
LONDON The British navy esti
mates for 1903 4 issued Monday even
ing provide for an expenditure of
179184205 an increase of 16010000
of which amount 11180000 will be
devoted to ship building and repairs
