The vote was reached a few minutes be
fore 5 o'clock after an aintost five hours
dincispinn behind closed doors. There
were no sensational incidents during this
entire time. The debate was confined ex
"luslvely to-a discussion of the merits of
the agreemnt and the policy of its pro
isiors. The pr'r.cipal speech of the day was
made by Senator Teller, in opposition to
tho treaty and he was fallowed In rapid
s.-ceesi-m by twelve or fifteen other sen
ators, who spoke briefly either for or
apainst the motion to ratify.
Mr. 'filler, cf Co:orado, expressed con
fidence that the resolution would be
adopted and said that while he had no
rurpoee to attempt to prevent the result.
h was convinced that there were very
fw senators who were really satisfied
with the treaty. With Great Britain in
her present mood, he believed, he said,
that It would have been possible to se
cure a treaty which yould give entire sat
isfaction, ar.d he sharply criticised the
?tate department far failing to do so.
He took the position that it would have
hoen sufficient to abrogate the Clayton
liv.lwer treaty and said that England
knew w:i enough that with the result ac
complished she could very well trust the
V-.iioc States to maintain neutrality of
the car. il as this country had been pre
iaid ti do so for many years.

ti.ay, expressing his gratification
. t th- American diplomacy had suc

: cau- h" iid not believe it would give

if- f,!l tbit Great Britain rejected the
rmendt-d Ht.y-Pauncefote treaty, but sent

th fact the most important feature of

Tht an exceptionally full senate

JUST ESCAPED PUNISHMENT
Attorney-General and 14 Others Ad
judged Tor Contempt of Court
Denver, Colo., Bee 16. Attorney Gen
eral a C. Post, Secretary A- B. Gray ol
the state board of assessors and ten
of the thirteen members of the board
were today adjudged in contempt of the
'supreme court of Colorado. No punish
ment was inflicted and they were all
discharged.
The court ordered that the work of the
state board of thirteen assessors In send
ing out the schedules of corporate as
sessment to the various counties be de
clared null and void, and that all the
acts of the state board performed after
the ortlrr of the court restraining them
was Issued be set aside. The court held
that as It had power to undo the work.
It should not in this instance inflict other
punishment.
No sooner had the court announced
Its opinion than the attorney general,
the secretary and other members of the
board were served with a writ of injunc
tion by Judge Hallett, restraining them
from again sending out schedules of as
sessment. This will transfer the fight
from the supreme court to the United
States court. The effect of this action
on the rart of the two courts will be to
tie up the assessments of the state so far
as corporations are concerned for some
time. It will not affect the other as
sessments. LABOR AND CAPITAL MEET
leaders or Two tireat Factions Hold
Convention at Sew York Clty
New York. Dec 16 Brought together
through the good offices of the National
Civic Federation, leading representatives
of labor and capital met here today to
discuss plans to minimize wage and in
dustrial disputes. Aiding them with coun
sel were several prominent students of
Economics and leading figures In the re
ligious world, and the opening session
notable for- a number of striking expres
sions and comments upon the problem
faced by the coaTerees. The storm in
eastern Pennsylvania prevented Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell, Theodore Shaf
fer and other leading members of the
American Federation from reaching New
Tork In time for the meeting today, but
they will participate in the session to
morrow. Oscar Strauss, former minister
to Turkey, who acted as chairman, an
nounced that it was planned to form a
general executive committee, with repre
sentation divided among labor, capital
and the general public and that it was
hoped that it would become a tribunal
of peace, where the conflicting interests
might meet on eaual footiag and settle
tneir oimrren u
tion and mutual toleration.

MILES FOR SCHLEY
General 3IaI;es Long Talk In Endors
ing Admiral Weivey.
Cincinnati. Dec; 11 General Nelson A.
Miles, speaking today of the findings of
the Schiey court of inquiry, said: "I am
willing to take the judgment of Admiral
Dewey in the matter. He has been a
commander of a Sect and as such knows
the anxieties and responsibilities which
rest on a man under these circumstances.
He was instrumental in the destruction
of one Spanish fleet, and knows and real
ties the feelings that encompass an offi
cer under such conditions. I think Dewey
has summed up the matter in a dear
and concise manner, and I believe his
conclusions will be endorsed by the patri
otic people of the United States. I have
no sympathy with the efforts which have
been made to destroy the honor of an offi
cer under such circumstances."

ENGLAND IS SNOWBOUND
Great Britain Records Death
and Great Destruction,
Philadelphia, Dec. IS. Advices from all
sections of the eastern half of Pennsyl
vania, of which area Saturday night's
storm raged furiously, are to the effect
that the waters covering the flooded dis
tricts are receding, and that railroad
and telegraphic communication are slow
ly being restored. From Towanda to
night comes the announcement of three
deaths caused by the flood near that town
and the additional statement that two
others will die from the effects of expos
ure. The damage to property and the pe
cuniary loss by enforced suspension of
many Industries will reach many thous
ands of dollars. Docens of coal minea
are flooded, along with hundreds of in
dustrial concerns located along water
ways, thus throwing idle thousands of
men. It Is estimated that more than
40.C00 persons have been rendered Idle.
The railroad situation Is gradually be
coming better.
Tales of narrow escapes from drown
ing come from all the flooded districts.
Hundreds of families in little hamleti
have been deprived of their homes for
the time being, swollen streams and the
extremely cold weather that has set in,
adding much to the suffering. At New
pert, a small village near Allentown,
508 Italians were surrounded by watev
and were prisoners in their homes for
thirty-sir hours. At Jersey Shorn
Italians working on the railroad there
were driven from their shanties by the
overflowing of Pine creek.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Dec. IS. The severe
snow and wind storm, which set In last
Tuesday night and which has been ac
companied by the coldest weather seen
In this state for many years, is still ragv
Ing in some sections. Conditions are be
coming more- favorbaie for the stock in
terests, as cattle and sheep will now be
able to secure feed on the ranges when
the snow has blown off. From the best
information at hand, it Is safe to say
that the losses among stock to date, ex
cept In railroad accieents, will probably
not exceed a few hundred sheep. There
have been no losses among cattle. The
loss of life la Wyoming due to the bliz
zard is probably In excess of ten persons.
Five persons are know n to have lost their
lives. Of these, thr-e w re Iwdrrs, ne
a railroad man and th ntli-r a womr.rt.

Lord Roseberry Roasts En
glish for Conduct of War
IN SOUTH AFRICA STRUGGLE
Former Addresses Multitude
of Subjects of Great Britain
IS FRIEND OF THE BOERS
Declares They Should Be
Treated as Human Beings.
Chesterfield, England, Dec 15. Lord
Rosoberry'a long espected and much
heralded speech delivered from a crowd
ed platform here tonJght was received
with marked enthusiasm by an immense
crowd. It can hardly be said to have
thrown much light on the pathway of the
Liberal oartv. He said that be had coma
by invitation and did not wish o Indulge I
in phraseology, but to speak his mind and
offer the Liberals some dispassionate
advice. That the speech was a flntehed
oratorical effort was amply testified by
the frequent applause with which the
speaker was interrupted. But it is doubt-
ful If when he had finished his most ad-
mlrln listener could have given aureus-
. r, tH.
tincation for his enthusiasm, save that
it was Lord Roseberry.
The Liberal party, he said, had passed
through a long and trying Illness, but
was now approaching convalescence, one
of the siS of which was that it bad
gotten rid of the Irish alliance. Resolved
to Its elements the speech merly said:
r t- tne-Pth.-
?he sSer himself confessed that he
dld not intend to say how this cohesion
should be accomplished. In urging hte
Z T , . T r
fellow Liberals to reorganize, Lord Rose-
t
bery quoted the following words from the
message of President Roosevelt:
"We hope to keep going by slow steps.
. A . :
on tne stars, uui ws muz i. bv icii.ci"
ber that our feet are upon the ground."
The following was the tenor of the for- j
mec premier's speech: j
"The ministry was wrong, but the Lib- ;
erals should be very careful how thy try
to set it right."
Turning from the immediate outbreak J
of the war Lord Rosebery touched upon ,
nr-Hcaiion. in which, he said. Great Bri- I
also sadly n atrophied, and theUme would
soon come when Great Britain
" ,," ' . '

Lord Roseberry maintained a discreet
i rnniit
t v;tj;uCTir vi nuvowvu -
inclinations concerning the leadership of i
the Liberal party. He said that he couki
not imagine himself in the position of a
minister. But la the next breath be told
how he would reorganize the war offlce
If it fell to his lot. He said this reorganl
z?tion shoad be postponed until after the
war.
The speaker's rccipefor the proposed
reorganization of his office was character
lstically an American one: namely, tae
appointment of a commission.
Concerning the government's conduct of
the war. Lord Roseberry was severe
and scornful. The complaint of tho
government that the Boers had not made
war according to the recognised ruies
reminded him that the same thing bad
been said by the c!d Austrian gen-erais
of the young Napoleon, hen the latter
was beating them. He was particularly
sarcastic an the expense of the Earl of
Haisbury. the Lord Chancellor, that only
a sort of warfare was now going on. and
ha strongly condemned what he termed
the scandalous ir,::rrepresntatloos by
which the government has precipitated
the last general election. Lord Roseberry
: htrtly blamed the government for its
tactlessness, which he declared had pro-
auced unparalleled ill will toward Great
grftaln In every European population
j ang -srhich he attributed largely to what
i h called the provocative argument of
Mr. Chrl. the colonial secretary.
I While he was emphatic en the necessity
