PASS THETREATY
ONLY FIVE IMJHE NEGATIVE
SENATE RATIFIES THE PROTOCOL
WITH COLOMBIA.
Seventy-three Members Answer Yea to
Final Quesion Put. Many Amend
ments Are Rejected. Morgan Bunch
es Prposals Into Complex Substitute.
WASHINGTON. The senate net at
II o'clock Tuesday and went into ex
ocutive session aftcT the Journal was
read and approved.
Shortly after the doors were closed
Mr. Money offered a substitute for the
fourth article of the treaty, which dis
avows any intention on the part of the
United States to Increase its territory
at the expense of South or Central
America.
Senators Itacon, Teller, Daniel, Mor
gan. Bailey and others contended for
an impartial recognitnon of all Amer
ican republics, urging that under the
language of the fourth article of the
treaty Mexico would be left as the only
American republic to which the avowal
of non-encroachment could be hold as
non-applicable. Senators Spooner and
Hoar replied, contending that there
was praeticaly no difference between
the language of the amendment and
of the article.
The amendment was then defeated
by 23 to 27.
Senator Daniel then offered an
amendment providing that the treaty
should not take effect until It had been
approved by congress.
The fact was soon apparent that he
offered his amendment for the purpose
of making a general speech on the
treaty, and when the fifteen minutes
allowed him had expired and the
amendmenc was voted down, Senator
Morgan presented four or five of his
amendments, which were each in turn
defeated, but upon all of which Sen
ator Daniel continued to speak. All
told he spoke for about an hour.
His speech was an arraignment of
the republican policy in pressing the
treaty with what he asserted va3 un
due haste. He referred to the enorm
ous expenditure that would be required
to construct the canal and charged
recklessness in rushing into such an
enterprise.
Mr. Morgan asserted that senators
were not thinking for themselves, but
following Mindly in the lead of the
secretary of state. They were prac
tically surendering their own offices
in order to maintain a reputation for
party allegiance.
When it became apparent that the
fifteen-minute speeches had been con
cluded, Senator Morgan surprised the
senate by presenting r.ll the fifty
amendments which he had prepared in
one block, with those portions of the
treaty he did not desire to change, as
a substitute for the whole agreement.
He did not demand a roll call and was
voted down viva voce almost unani
mously. It was now a few minutes past 5 and
Senator Morgan took the floor to make
the last of his long series of speeches
in opposition to the treaty. In accord
anct with the unanimous agreement
he snoke for an hour, and to make
the points he desired he had prepared
his speech in advance. He read de
liberately but in a firm voice, often
disgressing in order to emphasize.
Senator Cullom occupied only about
three-quarters of the hour allotted to
him, and when he concluded the ques
tion as to whether the treaty should be
ratified was promptly put before the
senate. All the senators in the city
occupied their seats and all were
prompt in responding when their
names were called. The vote resulted
in the ratification of the treaty by 73
to 5.
The report was no surprise, for all
had predicted that when the offered
amendments had been disposed of the
treaty would be approved by an over
whelming majority. Such proved
be the case.

amendment similar to that recom

AMERICAN WAY TOO RAPID.
Financiers Anticipate Panic, Due to
Absorption of Capital.
BERLIN Apprehensions regarding
the financial situation in New York
are still pronounced. The American
demand for German money continues.
The impression prevails among Ber
lin financial men that speculation in
the United States has been overdone
and that credits have been unduly ex
panded. It is pointed out, as a sign
of too rapid capital absorption, that it
is now difficult for American houses
to dispose of first class bonds bearing
interest at 4 per cent. The same diffi
culty is experienced by German banks
in handling American bonds.
HARRISON IS TO RUN AGAIN.
Nominated for a Fourth Term for
Mayor by the Democrats.
CHICAGO Mayor Carter Harrison
was renominated for a fourth term
in the democratic city convention here
Monday.
The remainder of the slate agreed
upon at a caucus ofdemocratic lead
ers was as follows: City treasurer, Er
nest Hummel; city clerk, William
Loeffler; city attorney, John E. Ow
ens. Just before the hour set for the
opening of the convention, however,
Loeffler declined to run and the name
of J. J. Boehm was substituted.
The platform adopted deals at con
siderable length with the traction
question, advocating the passage by
the legislature of an ennabling act and
municipal ownership at the earliest
possible date.

died on the voyage had been stricken
with cholera. The sick persons be
tray all the symptoms of cholera.
CANAL PROTOCOL
SENATE VOTES DOWN
AMENDMENTS.
ALL
SIX HOURS SPENT IN WORK
Chief Debate of the Session Centers
Round the Right of America to De
fend Waterway, but the Colombian
Powers Are Not Infringed.
WASHINGTON. The senate spent
six solid hours in executive session
Monday voting on amendments to the
Panama canal treaty.
The greater part of the debate cen
tered around the American defense of
the canal, the democrats contending
iuai me United States should be
given the initiative in that respect,
and the republicans urging that the
Interests of the country are sufficient
ly safeguarded by the treaty as it
stands.
A substitute for the provision plac
ing the defense of the canal primarily
in the hands of Colombia resulted in
a test vote and the democrats cast a
solid vote in support of the amend
ment, the republicans voting as sol
idly against it. The vote was 24 to
40 against.
During the day Senator Morgan of
fered a number of his amendments,
but none of them received more than-
ten or twelve votes. The treaty will
be ratified tomorrow by a large ma
jority and without amendment, as on
the final ballot many of the democrats
will vote for it.
Before the executive session com
menced Levi Ankeny of Washington
was escorted to the desk by Mr. Fos
ter, his colleague, and sworn in. No
legislative business of any kind was
transacted.
Immediately after the doors had
been closed the order for the presen
tation of amendments went into effect.
There was quite a large attendance
of setriors, both political parties hav
ing used every effort to secure full
representation so as to make the best
showing in case of a division on
party lines. Consequently the roll
calls of the day were well responded
to and the vote cast was larger than
expected.
The first vote was taken about forty
minutes atfer the doors were closed,
coming on an amendment by Senator
Pettus, providing that the treaty
should not go into effect until ap
proved by congress. This amendment
was voted down by a large majority,
all the republicans and some of the
democrats recording themselves
against it.
The amendment was in the language
of the one recommended by the com
mittee on foreign relations to be add
ed to the Cuban reciprocity treaty
In offering it Mr. Pettus claimed that
the provisions of the treaty for the ac
quisition of the canal zone do not cor
respond with the provisions of the
law under which the treaty was made
In the law the provision is for the
ownership of the zone, while the treaty
provides for a lease to be renewed
perpetually. He contended that un
der the circumstances the treaty was
without authority and therefore not
binding without further legislation.
The vote resulted SO for, CO against.
Following this Senator Morgan of
fered a number of amendments, of
which he had given notice, but they
were passed upon adversely and with
out roll calls. One of these was a
declaration that nothing contained in
the treaty sould be construed as in
validating the Spooner act. Another
provided for the submission cf the
treaty to the French government as
a party interested.
His other amendments provided for
the reversion of the railroad lands
outside of the zone to Colombia and
confirmed Colombia's reservation of
shares in the new Panama Canal
company in accordance with the con
tract of 1S90.

SHEEP MUST BE SHUT OUT.
Buffalo Bill Writes to President
Roosevelt from London.
WASHINTON. D. C Tho president
has received the following letter from
Colonel W. F. Cody, dated at Iondon,
March 3.
for the benefit of future genera-
lions the timber, and especially the
underbrush must be protected now, be
fore it is too late, from the sheep dev
astating the mountain water sheds,
as they have already done the valleys
and table lands. If sheep are allowed
to browse on the underbrush cf our
mountains, in less than five years
from now the homester, the man
behind the plow, the actu. taxpayer,,
will have to leave the Big Horn Ba

land. No one knows this better than
yourself, for you are familiar with all
of the west."
HELPS OUT STOCKMEN.
The Question of Stock Raising on
Lands Discussed.
WASHINGTON Commissioner
Richards of the general land office
announced that recently President
Roosevelt discussed with him the
question of stock grazing on lands re
cently auaeu to western iorest re
serve and said that it was not his
intention, when additional reserve
areas were created, that settlers who
heretofore have grazed stock thereon
should be subjected to hardship. He-
directed that the general land office
permit stockmen who enjoyed grazing
privileges prior to the creation of re
serve additions to continue during this
year to range cattle and sheep on the
same lands, with a view to adjusting
business so that the stock might be
withdrawn the year following. In

wishes have been issued by the inte

POPULATION DISTRIBUTION.
Bulletin Showing Geographical Loca
tion of the People.
WASHINGTON, D. C The census
bureau on Friday issued a bulletin on
the geographical distribution of pop
ulation in the United States. It
shows that almost OG per cent of the
total population live in the country
drained by the Atlantic ocean; over 53
per cent in that drained by. the Gulf
of Mexico; 44 per cent in the drain
age area of the Mississippi river; al
most 10 per cent in the area drained
by the Great Lakes; 4 per cent on
tho Pacific coast, and half of 1 per
cent in the Great basin.
The proportion living within the re
gion drained to the Atlantic ocean is
steadily diminishing, while the part
drained to the Gulf of Mexico is be
coming relatively more populous, as is
the case, in a still more marked de
gree, in the Great basin and the Pa
cific ocean region. Of the foreign
born, 03 per cent live in the region
drained by the Atlantic ocean, 3G.4 per
cent in the region drained by the Gulf
of Mexico, and 3 5 per cent in that
drained to the Great Lakes. The pro
portion in the region drained to the
Pacific ocean is C.l per cent. Out cf
every 1,000 negroes, 1'OS are found in
the regions drained to tho Atlantic
ocean, and CI. 4 per cent are in the
lands drained to the Gulf of Mexico,
the proportion in the west and on the
Pacific coast being trifling.

Sir William Preoce, who wa for
nearly thirty years In tho employment
of the itoHtofflce, Is fond of relating an
anecdote, which, whilo It rather til
against him. does his voflatllity- and
readiness full Justice. It wo at tho
time when a telephone had been set
up between Osborne) and Ixmdon, and

knowing tho poshiblliticH of the tele
phone), hummed an nlr into tho receiv

"Music Hath Charms."
An electrical engineer employed by
Mr. Edison was lately engaged upon
some experimental work upon har
monic teleKiaphy. He happened to
notice that when the note given out
by tho instrument reached a certain
pitch all the mosquitoes In the neigh
borhood came nylng towards tho ap
paratus. Tho workman produced a
quantity of flypaper, with which no
covered the machine, and ho succeed
ed in captuirng tlihousandw of tho nox
ious insects. Tho cause of this queer
musical attraction seems to bo that
the note produced by the machine waH
exactly similar to that caused by tho
rapid vibration of tho wlnga or tno
mosquito when flying. Sir Hiram (
Maxim ban Kince made experimeniH l
a similar kind, nnd found that a tun-. ' t ,
ing-fork giving a similar note was' ' t
ciitiallv attractive to tho gnats and . I
equally attractive to tho gnats
mosquitoes in the neighborhood.
