WILL-PASS - THE TREATY , Democrats Will Not Oppose the New Hay Pauncefote Treaty , ' ' ' * Measiin Senate Will' Vote on the This Week as the First Step Towards Isthmian Canal. " Washington , D. C. ( Special. ) Th < senate agreed to take a vote 'earlj this week on the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty for the abrogation of the Clay- ton-Bulwer .treaty and opening th < way for the construction of a cana across the Isthmus of Panama by the United States. . . , . This agreement wasreached af tei tfour hours of debate , sufficiently inter- 'esting to insure the constant attend ance of most of the senators. Senatoi Spooner , who "was oneof the principa speakers of the .day , had just concluded when .SenatoivXodge made an effort tc secure a vote. It" developed trfat then were other senators who desired to be heard , the result being that thedate of the vote was postponed. The principal speakers besides Sena tor Spooner were Senator Money and ' ' " ' ' Senator Foraker. ' 'IMr. Money , while finding much i'n the bill to criticise , said as lie fouri'd the fortunes of the proposed canal across the isthmus intertwined with the trea ty he could not see his way clear to do anything that would prevent or even delay ratification. The particu lar features of the new treatywith which he found fault , were those re taining the neutrality provision of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty arid specifying police control of the canal when built. He argued thatthis must inevitably limit .and prescribe the power of the United States to control its property in time of war. Senator. Forakermaintained t 'that provisions for thenew treaty meet ev ery objection made to the old Hay- Pauncefote treaty and cover every thing essential that was included in the amendments made by the senate to that document. He regarded it as of the utmost importance that the Clayton-Bujwer treaty should be wiped out. This result was effected by the convention under consideration. He considered that all rights of the United States were amply protected under this treaty and that our con trol is absolute and complete and could not be questioned by Great Britain or other .powers. Mr. Foraker's speech dealt with the generaleffect ofthe treaty. He said that after careful study of its provision he was firmly convinced that it could be honestly supported by every patriotic citizen. Senator Foraker was frequently in terrupted by Senator Bacon. In t he courseof one of these interruptions Senator Bacon asked if it was not true that under the terms o.f the treaty the construction .of ' fortifications by the United States would not be an act of war. > . / - . , Mr. Foraker replied in the negative , saying that that would riot only ; not be an act of hostility , but to build for tifications in case of necessity was one of the inherent rights of the govern ment. To this Mr. Bacon responded that he , for one , would never bring himself to vpte for the. ratification o.f the , treaty with the understanding that his government was to violate it. Mr. Foraker retorted' sharply to" the ( effect ttfat his friend from Georgia- could be , no more virtuous along the line of maintaining the < country's honor in the matter of keeping its agreement with other nations than'were other senators. Mr. Bacon replied that he had not meant ? to assuih'e a" virtue that he did not p'os"sess , nor to imply that either senators were not as jealous of the country's good name as himself. Mr. Foraker then declared that he had not meant to charge Mr. Bacon 'with an unfair assumption , 4but simply to say th'at ! llke all oth'er 'senators supporting the treaty , he felt he was giving his name 'to'a transaction which would be h'onorably carried out between nations. NE6ROES ARE SOLO INTO SLAVERY , Birmingham , Ala. ( Special ! ) A spe cial to the Age-Herald frbrri'New De- catur , , Ala" , says. Ben Milam , a col ored ex-slave df Lawrence'county , is under arresti charged with'an unusual . ' i > . ; / jt crime. It is alleged that Milam has for some time 'been engaged in kidnaping ne groes and sellingthem as slaves to the white manager of.a . Tennessee river island some miles below Decatur. lt is saidMilam would induce negroes to accompany him 'to the island with the promise of .securing positions' for them 3n the plantation at good wages , and uhat when they reached there he would jell them into bondage , the negroes be- ng confined within the stockade , from , vhich escape was almost impossible. It/is said that a young negro who re- : ently escaped from the island told the story and caused the arrest of Ben Milam. He reports"that a kidnaped icgro has been confined on this island is a slave for seven years. Nordica's Big Claim. Sioux City , la. ( Special. ) Mme. Lil ian Nordica , the great singer , is said .o have made the statement in this : ity that she had .a claim of $4,000,000 igainst the United States.

'She alleges that icither her ancestor nor his hears ever eceived the money. BRITISH CLAIM JOERSJILi : NATIVES London. ( Special. ) Lord Kitchener's promised statement specifying thirty- seven separate instances in which na tives have been shot by the Boers am which involve the loss of eighty-foui lives , has been issued by the war of fice. In some of the cases mentioned the blacks were shot after an informa court martialor upon being accusejd oj spying.but in numerous instances Lore .Kitchener. indicates that the natives were shot in cold blood in order tt hide traces of the movements of Bpei commandoes. The period covered bj Lord Kitchener's statement is over year. In speaking at Glasgow , Mr. Broder- ick , the secretary of state for war , saic Lord Kitchener's report upon tht shooting of blacks by the Boers made it perfectly clear that these murders were not committed in moments oJ passion , but were part of an organized sys'tem to cover the tracks of the en emy and to'prevent possible informa tion of their whereabouts. VIOLATE LAWS OF WAR. Dealing with the present aspects ol the war ( , Mr. Broderick said Boers had accepted parole and broken it , and that there would be no repetition Of sucl : actions. Within , recent weeks Boer commanders had shown less regard foi the laws ofwar than .at any previous time , and these bandits would before long reach a crisis when they could no longer be treated as belligerents. The speaker said that the govern ment .was for no half measures in se curing a settlement and that any fresh negotiations must emanate from the Boers. THE DEMOCRATS WIN IN BOSTON , Boston , Mass. ( Special. ) The demo crats completely overwhelmed the re publicans in the city elections today. General Patrick A. Collins was elected mayor over Thomas N. Hart by the largest plurality in a quarter of a cen tury. The democrats likewise obtain ed control of both branches of the city government , elected their street commissioner , Sjilem D. Charles , and practically all their candidates for the 'school commission. As usual , the city voted strongly in favor of license. The result of the canvass was fully as much of a surprise to the democrats as to their opponents The most san guine democratic prophet last night claimed only 7,000 , yet this plurality was nearly tripled. Two years ago Mayor'Hart defeated General Collins by 2,218 votes and polled something over 40,000 This year the total repub lican vote for mayor was a trifle over 33,000 , the smallest given a party can didate for mayor since 1893 , Respite a registration almost 50 per cent larger than then. Yet General Collins received over 52- 000 votes , the largest in the history of the city , and he carried eighteen of the twenty-five wards. The republican leaders were inclined to blame the weather tonight , but this does not ac count for the tremendous gains ' made by the democrats in republican wards. CONGRESS WILL SHY AT TRUST STOCK. Washington , D. C. ( Special. ) Con gress is disposed to look in the mouth of Andrew Carnegie's g'ift horse , says a special to the Chicago Record-Herald. It does not like the steel trust which it finds there. Today it became known that the cause of the delay of the pub lic announcement of Mr. Carnegie's generous gift , which President Roose velt , had expected , to make yesterday by means of a special message to con gress , is the fact that Mr. Carnegie proposed to give , not $10.000,000 in cash , but § 10.000,000 in United States Steel preferred stock. ' In this form it is feared Congress could not be induced to accept the endowment , and it is probable the offer will soon be renewedj in cash , United States bonds or accept able securities. Mr. Carnegie's proposition was to give $10,000,000 of steel trust stock to a board of regents , to be organized by act of congress , and to be named eith er by Mr. Carnegie himself or by Pres ident Roosevelt. This great sum was to be held in trust for fifty years , only the income to be devoted to the spe cial scientific investigations and explo rations which the donor wishes to en courage. The income from this stock would be $500,000 a year , and in his let ter to the president 'Mr. Carnegie of fered to guarantee that the income should never fair below this sum. His estate should be bound'to make up any deficiency that might arise thro' possible' disaster to * the United States Steel corporation. GAGE WILL NOT YET RESIGN , " .Washington , D. C : ( Special. ) "I am sick and tired of being questioned rel ative to the intention on my part to resign from the cabinet , " said Secre tary Gage today. "I am not going to resign. If I ever'should resign , no one but the president will know it until after I ? hall have resigned.

Head of the Porto Rico Federation of Lab or Guilty of Conspiracy , Iglesias Sentenced for Alleged Crim es and Declares That Politics Influenced Result. San Juan , P. R. ( Special. ) Santiago Jglesias , president of the Federation of Workmen of Porto Rico , together with nine companions , was tried in the dis trict court of San Juan yesterday on a charge of conspiracy. Today Iglesias was sentenced to three months and eight days' imprisonment. Seven of his companions were sentenced to four months' imprisonment , while two were acquitted of the charge of being the founders of an illegal association and conspiracy in August , 1900 , to raise the price of labor in Porto Rico. Iglesias , as the founder of the con spiracy , gets the heaviest sentence.The other men were merely his associates in the crime. , , , , M.r . -The local Federation of Workmen of Porto Rico , which is now part of the American Federation of Labor , under the presidency of Samuel Gompers , has been ordered dissolved , as it has been adjudged illegal on account of this conspiracy. JUDGE SAVAGE'S VERSION. Mr. Savage , judge ofthe district court , dissented as to the illegality of the local federation.although he agreed that Iglesias was guilty of a conspir acy to raise the price of labor in Au gust , 1900 , when the-currency of Porto Rico was changed. At that time near ly all the merchants and employers raised their prices from pesos to dolT lars , an advance of 40 cents. Iglesias did the same , contending that he only raised wages in proportion to other in creases. This constitutes the conspir acy. acy.The The case has been appealed to the supreme court of Porto Rico , where it probably will be .heard in a month. Pending this appeal Iglesias is at lib erty. POLITICS THE"CAUSE. . Iglesias says politics influenced the decision against him , as the judges be longed .to the local republican party , while Iglesias is a federalist. Since Iglesias has been acting as the local organizer of the American Fed eration , of Labor he has been continu ally attacked in circulars and threat ened by certain republicans who op pose his plans. Iglesias said regard ing attacks recently made upon him. "If the laws of Porto Rico are inad equate to punish these offenders , if I cannot continue my work of American izing Porto Rican laborers unmolested please inform me , so that I can returr to the United States , abandoning this country and my mission here. " GOMPERS MAY TAKE A HAND. Scranton , Pa. ( Special. ) When the correspondent of the Associated Press showed the San Juan cable to Samuel Gompers , president of the American Federation of Labor , he expressed great surprise at the news. In answer to a question as to what the federation will do , he answered : "If Mr. Iglesias' conviction has been upon the charge that he has been gu ty of conspiracy to increase the wages of Porto Rican workmen we shall leave no effort unturned to secure his release and the necessary changes of the laws of the island to conform to American standards. "It is an honorable ambition to se cure betfer returns in the shape of wages for labor. The Porto Rican law is evidently a relic of the Spanish bru tal code and regime and the American people will not tolerate so gross a vio lation of guaranteed rights. " TO BUILD THE NICARAGUA CANAL , Washington , D. C. ( Special. ) Sena tor Morgan has introduced a bill pro viding for the construction of the Nic aragua canal. The bill provides an aggregate of $180,000,000 , of which $5- 000,000 is made immediately available and of which aggregate sum such amounts as are necessary to be ap propriated by congress from time to time.

" Speaking for the packing interests a.nd , as he said , the beef growers of the west and cotton growers of the south , Mr. Springer declared there was but one way in which the measure ? puld be defeated and that was for ev- ? ry man identified with the interests apposed to the Grout bill to write to iiis representative in congress demand- : ng that they vote against it. Mr. Springer declared hat even should the iill become a law it will be contested ; hrough the supreme court of tht United States. FALK CHILD LABOR AND INJUNCTIONS , Scranton , Pa. ( Special. ) The Amer- can Federation of Labor took up the subject of child labor in all its degrad- ng phases , and its injurious effect ipon labor in general. The reckless and indiscriminate use > f the law by injunction , and its usur- > ation of the rights of the people was .Iso taken up , and brought out a flood if oratory. An extract of the annual report of resident Gompers to the convention i-as read. It sounded a note of warn- ig to the public to beware of the tend- ncy becoming manifest throughout the ountry by the judiciary to usurp the overeign rights of the people and sub- titute law by injunction. Taking up the subject of child labor , ) elegate Hayes , president of the Glass Jottle Blowers' union , in an eloquent peech , characterized" as child slav- ry , and insisted that the time has ome for labor's host to - keep alive a igorous sentiment that would relegate ; to history. Max Hayes , one of the socialist lead- rs in the convention , stirred things ; hen he read a list of 100 or more in unctions granted and enforced , "even o depriving men of their liberty tiroughout the United States. " He said it was no use for labor to iveigh against the politicians and ju- iciary ; that such a course was an 11 ewaste of time. The only sure smedy was to elect the right men te ongress.

Attitude in the Philippines Is Less Than Was Expected , The Friars Are Not Willing to Accede to Proposition for the Substitu tion of American Priests. Rome. ( Special. ) The papal Philip pine policy has been practically deter mined and will probably be defined at the consistory to be held soon. The attitude of the Vatican is less liberal than expected because of the influence of the Augustinian , Franciscan and Dominican orders , which are unwilling to withdraw the friars and substitute American priests , as recommended by Judge Taft , .General Otis and General Chaffee , as well as by Cardinal Gib bons , Archbishop Ireland , and other American prelates. Archbishop Chappelle of Manilawho resigned his see and returned to his home in Sim in discredited , has been permitted to resume charge of his for mer diocese in New Orleans. At pres ent the archbishop is visiting his par ents in France , and expects to make a journey to the famous shrine of Lourles before sailing for the United States. COADJUTOR FOR SBARRETTI. Mgr. Sbarretti , who has been ap pointed administrator of the archdio cese of Manila and apostolic delegate to the Philippines , will sail for New York this week. Father B. F. Broder ick of Hartford , Conn. , who has been appointed coadjutor to Mgr. Sbarretti , has sailed from Naples. The appointment of a permanent archbishop for the islands is postponed , although there are reports here that a. prominent bishop of one of the western states is under consideration for the office. Father Broderick's admirers believe that honor is reserved for him. should he prove successful in his ad ministration. Archbishop Chappelle's failure is at tributed to his ambition to secure the support of the monastic orders to his appointment as cardinal. TO SURRENDER REALTY. Mgr. Sbarretti's instructions are to surrender to the government all real estate claimed by the friars on the payment of the indemnity awarded by the court. The Vatican has every con u fidence in the justice and fairness of the Taft government , and prefers mon ey to property. The administrator , , however , will reserve the educational and charitable institutions and houses of worship. Mgr. Sbarretti is also authorized to- assign friars to parishes , exercising judgment according to circumstances and the character of individuals. Fath er Broderick is expected to visit the parishes personally , acting as inspect or , to confer with Civil Governor Taft and to preserve amicable relations with both civil and military authori ties in the hope of saving the friars. WILL CONSULT ROOSEVELT. Mgr. Sbarretti will consult with President Roosevelt at Washington be fore leaving for the Philippines. The Vatican is alarmed concerning the in fluence of the American teachers on the people , as it is believed that the instructors are chiefly protestants. Dis quieting reports have also been receiv ed at Rome , with regard to what is ' called "President Roosevelt's extreme protestantism and hostility to every thing Spanish , which he inherited from his Dutch ancestors and which was- awakened by the Spanish-American war. " To American visitors , Pope Leo.how- ever. has expressed hearty approval of President ' Roosevelt's message , partic ularly those paragraphs relating to an archy and the Philippines. There areji large number of Ameri can clergy in Rome. Among them may be mentioned Bishop Farley of New- York , Father ' O'Keefe.chaplain at West Peint , and Father- FatherMalone of Denver Father Malone'has received distin" guished attentionon on the part of the fc * w Vatican.
