GOOD OMEN POR THE TREATY
1
Espcet the Pinal Oaual Legislation Be
fore the Holidays
PROSPECT IS FOR RATIFICATION
Southern Senators Are Particularly Anx
ious for the Construction of the Water
way at Earliest Possible Date
laneous Washington Matters
WASHINGTON Dec 9 The only
measure of importance which the sen
ate has on its calendar for the pres
ent week is the new Hay Pauncefote
treaty making provision for the ab
rogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty
and opening the way for the unob
structed construction of an isthmian
canal by the United States Acting
for the committee on foreign relations
Senator Lodge will ask the senate to
go Into executive session today for
the consideration of the treaty and
each day hereafter until the treaty is
disposed of It can be said that at
this time the prospect is very strong
that the treaty will be ratified and
it now looks as if this result would
be secured after comparative little
delay
There will be somes debate and some
features of the document will be
criticised as undesirable but there is
no probability of captious opposition
The criticism will be along the lines
Indicated by Senators Money and
Bacon in the committee on foreign re
lations at its meeting on last Friday
No senator has thus far shown a
disposition to carry his discussion to
a point of ultimate effort to defeat
ratification The principal authors of
the criticism of the treaty are south
ern senators who are generally very
anxious for the construction of the
qanal They find that all canal legis
lation will be tied up until action can
be secured on the treaty and they
are on this account less liable than
they otherwise would be to do any
thing to delay action upon the treaty
itself The most active friends of the
treaty now claim that ratification will
be obtained before the Christmas holi
days
Beyond the consideration of the
treaty very little business will be un
dertaken before the holidays It is
now generally agreed that the ques
tion of reciprocity will go over until
January probably without so much as
being mentioned and it may be added
that from being for a time the sub
ject most likely to attract early at
tention it has taken a position among
the matters which will not be vigor
ously urged When the reciprocity
treaties do come up for consideration
there will be persistent opposition to
the agreement with France and to
that with Great Britain covering the
West Indies
There is not so much feeling over
the conventions with the South Amer
ican republics The present outlook
is also against the immediate action in
the senate looking to tariff legislation
for the Philippines and there are
now some indications that the senate
will wait upon the house of representa
tives in this matter Probably the
Chinese exclusion act will be reported
from committee during the week The
nomination of Attorney General Knox
will be reported at the first executive
session but immediate confirmation
will probably be antagonized by some
senators
Enslisli Press V nitres that It Will Surmount-
the Obstruction
LONDON Dec 9 The Times in an
editorial on the Hay Pauncefote canal
treaty says it is hard to see how
Great Britain could concede more
without pretending to give what she
did not possess namely the rights of
territorial sovereignty
That act says the Times would
not weaken the objections of those
senators to anything making for good
relations with Great Britain As
President Roosevelt and public opin
ion seem to favor this treaty -we ven
ture to say it will surmount the
threatened obstruction

VIENNA 9 It is said here

DIPfER ON INSULAR TARIff
Expect House to Pass a Measure to Meet
the Situation
WASHINGTON Dec 9 The house
this week will probably pass a meas
ure to meet the situation created by
the Philippine decision of the supreme
court last Monday Up to the present
time however the republican mem
bers of the ways and means commit
teee have not decided upon the char
acter of the measure which will be
reported
A difference of opinion exists as to
whether there should be a temporary
enactment of the Dingley rates on
goods entering the United States from
the Philippines or whether a perma
nent possession of the island should
be prepared It is said Chairman
Payne favors the latter course
The republican committees will
meet again tomorrow If it is de
cided to enact a temporary measure
the procedure will be exceedingly sim
ple and it probably can he passed in a
day If on the other hand an entire
scheme of tariff legislation is to be
consummated more time willl be tak
en up in the preparation and passage
KILL AMERICAN DESERTER
David Fag in Negro Who Fled to Flli
plneg is Decapitated
MANILA Dec 9 The scouts from
Bengabon province of Nueva Ecija
have killed the American negro David
Fagin a deserter from the Twenty
fourth colored infantry who for
more than two years has been leadJ
ing Filipinos against the American
troops The native scouts decapitated
their prisoner The mans head
however was recognized as that of
Fagin They also secured his commis
sion in the insurgent army Fagin
had on one of his fingers the class
ring of Lieutenant Frederick W
Altstaetter of the engineers who was
captured by Filipinos supposedly un
der the command of Fagin himself
October 28 1900
Fagin is the deserter who has been
reported killed on several occasions
The authorities are satisfied that for
mer statements of his death were er
roneous and that he has now been
killed
HEPBURNS CAN 4L BILL
Iowa Senator Introduces Proposition for
Waterway
WASHINGTON Dec 9 -Representative
Hepburn of Iowa introduced his
isthmian canal bill which by reason
of his being the author of the bill
passed last year and his probable con
tinuance at the head of the house
commerce committee is regarded as
the measure which will serve as a
basis for action by the house It differs
from the Hepburn bill passed last
year in making the total appropria
tion 180000000 instead of i40000
000 Of the total amount 10000000
is made immediately available to bo
gin work In other respects the bin
follows that of last year authorizing
the president to acquire a right of way
from Costa Rica and Nicaragua and
then to direct the secretary of war to
begin the construction from Greytown
on the Carribean sea to Brito on the
Pacific ocean with suitable defenses
etc

pox scarlet fever and diphtheria
cases upon strict sanitary lines The
board advises the county commission
ers in each county to organize a lo
cal board of health and they are ur
ged to follow as closely as possiDle the
rules submitted to them which are as
follows
Whenever within the limits of this
county and without the corporate lim
its of any city or village a person is
suspected of having smallpox scarlet
fever diphtheria of other contagious
disease he shall be immediately Iso
lated within his own household as
carefully as possible and as soon as
a contagious disease is recognized it
will be tho duty of the attending phy
sician and of the householder to give
written notice of the same to the
clerk of the county giving the name
of the disease and of the family where
it exists with the number exposed
and all other particulars that may be
of any value
The premises where above conta
gious diseases exist shall be duly
quarantined by the board through its
proper officers or an appointee a
by placing upon the house or some
conspicuous point upon the premises
a placard giving the name of the dis
ease in letters not less than three
inches in height b by a verbal or
written notice to the householder to
remain on the premises and in no
way mingle with other people or al
low others except physicians to ap
proach nearer than thirty feet of any
house or person thus quarantined
This rule to apply also in cases of
exposure
Such quarantine shall continue un
til in the opinion of the medical ad
viser of the board the last case of the
disease likely to occur therein has com
pletely recovered and is ready ror dis
infection Provided however that in
cases of extreme necessity one free
from disease may be released earlier
after thorough disinfection of person
and clothing and with a certificate
from the above named medical ad
viser
The necessaries of life as often as
occasion demands may be carried
within thirty feet of the quarantined
house by a neighbor or other duly
appointed messenger but no nearer
nor shall any effects whatever be
brought away from the household un
til thoroughly disinfected
In case of death from contagious
disease there shall be no public fun
eral the body of the deceased shall
be closely wrapped in sheets well sat
urated with disinfectants and closed
in a tight casket this to be again
wrapped in a disinfected cloth and
in such cases the corpse shall not
be carried to or near any body of
people while on its way to the ceme
tery
When in any school district or com
munity several families say five to
eight are infected with contagious
diseases or very many exposures have
occurred the board should prohibit
all gatherings of people in that com
munity including sessions of schools
until in their opinion the emergency
is past
All physicians should use due pre
cautions in their visits to quarantined
households to avoid the danger of
contagion to the well
When in the opinion of the medical
adviser of the board quarantine can
safely be raised it shall be done with

hospital is needed to which individ
ual cases of contagious diseases may
be removed or when such method
will accommodate those without homes
at much less public expense or for
any other reason it is deemed best
a building suited to their needs shall
be provided
Whoever in any way willfully or
negligently disobeys fjhese rules of
quarantine and disinfection shall by
