at him by the robbers one pass ing through the lapel of his coat He iired twice in return apparently with out effect nnd the robbers escaped without having opened the treasury vault or securing anything of value Detectives throughout the day fol lowed up such clues as Night Watch man Good was able to furnish but they led to no arrests or even sus picion as to the guilty Police officers declare themselves skeptical on some features of the story told by the night watchman but many of the state offi cers believe an attempt was really made to rob the treasury Good stands to his llrst story with the ut most persistency The only new evi dence found of an attempt being made to break the vault was an ordinary cold chisel a partly burned wax caudle and a cement sack bearing the name of

ialllnger Wol cott and Hard explanatory of their attitude Senator Hard contended for the adoption of his amendment giving preference to American ships passing through the proposed Nlcaraguan canal Senator ialllnger spoke In de fense of the treaty as It originally came from the executive Senator Wolcott said that the original treaty would have been satisfactory to him but added that he considered the agreement as It had been and was about to be amended preferable to no treaty nt all Senator Thurston strongly advocated the treaty saying that as Great Hrltalu owns and gov erns a very large portion of the terri tory of North America It was perfect ly right and proper that that country should be consulted lu the matter of the construction of an Isthmian canal When Senator Mason asked if It was not also proper that Great Itrltaln in that event should pay part of the cost of construction he replied that the securing of the canal itself was tho one great desideratum and that ac complished the bencllt the waterway would be to the worlds commerce tho cost of construction was of little moment Foraker withdrew his amendments to strike out the entire article which provides for the adherence of Kuro pean powers to the general principles of neutrality enunciated and Insert a declaration that the Clayton Ilulwer treaty is hereby superseded because they were the same as those

the mutter nnd if the lat ter as has already been Indicated by official statements concludes to give the British government an opportunity to pass on the amended treaty then tlio state department will forward at once to that government not the treaty itself but the terms of the amendment In diplomatic parlance the British government will be notified of tho amendment According to the state ment of the oflleinls of tho state de partment Great Britain must then be allowed a reasonable time within which to accept or reject them As to what would constitute a reasonable time no expression wns to be had but attention was directed to the fact that the United States government has bad the tronry under consideration for a year and that the amendments made yesterday wore beyond dispute vital Illiciu
