2 NOW BUILIKANAL Hay-Pauncefote Treaty t Is Ratified Expeditiously. 27 VOTES IN FAVOR; 6 OPPOSED The ITimlti ■ ■■■■!■» Clayton-Bulwer Treaty Heroines a 1 hint of the Past. How York Sun Saoalml Sarvlom Washington, Dec. IT.—The Hay-Paunce- ; fote treaty was ratified by the United States senate yesterday (as announced in the last edition of The Journal yes terday), and the old Clayton-Bulw«r treaty, which has for fifty years been, an embarrassment to this government, is no more. It has been superseded by the^iew ' treaty, which, if not entirely satisfactory i to all,« removes the most serious objec- j tions of partnership in the old treaty and i enables the United States alone to con- j . struct, own and control an isthmian canal i without being prohibited from fortifying it or inviting the European powers to unite in guaranteeing its neutrality. Whatever the new treaty may lack in defining the power of this government under it, is made up in the clear interpre tation put upon it by the senate in ad-i vance of -ratification, without any protest | from Great Britain. One of the great em- j barrassments of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was" an Interpretation put upon it: by Great Britain after it had been rati fied by the- United States senate. There is no possibility of such modification of j the meaning of this treaty. The republicans stand unitedly for lie ( new treaty, not because i: represented all j they would have.had in such a treaty, | but because it gave this government all i that is necessary to guarantee its absolute ] control and ownership of an isthmian j •anal, and because it clears the way for ; canal legislation. j Senator Morgan will to-day call up his | bill reported last Thursday authorizing ! the, president to conclude agreements i with the republics of Costa Rica and J Nicaragua for the acquiring and full con- I trol of such territory as may be neces- j sary for tjie canal, and to govern, reg- I ulate, police and protect the same. He j will seek to have this bill passed by the senate this week, before the holiday i recess, but the democrats who opposed | and sought to delay ratification of the ; treaty, will refuse consent to this legis- j lation, which is the preliminary step to | that for the construction of the canal. | Those who have been loudest in their de- ( xt.aiui for an isthmian canal have done i most to delay ratification of the treaty, «nd they will block legislation as long as j possible. ' ■ The agreement reached on Thursday to j vote on the treaty yesterday enabled Sen- : ator Lodge, who had the management of the question, to prevent further delay j and secure the ratification, j After the agreement was secured the opposition to the treaty, which last week was threat ening, melted away until only six demo- j crats voted against it, while the vote in its favor was seventy-two: Senators Teller, Till man, Mallory, Blackburn, Bacon and Culberson voted against it. An amendment offered by Mr. Gulberson,! to insert the Davis fortification amend ment of the last session was defeated, 15 to 62. -1 SURRENDER, NOT BARGAIN > | - ■ ■— — . ■•. »] London Globe** Interpretation of the ; Canal Treaty. • ■ London, Dec. 17.—With the .exception of j the Globe, the afternoon newspapers to day comment approvingly on- the ratifica- [ tion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by the United States senate yesterday. The | Globe sees in the overwhelming majority.; for the ratification proof that the com pact is regarded by the senator as one sided and calculated to adversely affect i British commercial and political interests. The paper says- Senator Teller's offensive phrase, ""In her i present mood," clearly signifies the conviction j that England has become too submissive to; stand up for her rights against the great re- \ public.

Philadelphia, Dec. 17. —Railroad service in this state, which is badly crippled by the floods, is gradually recovering its nor mal condition and by this afternoon or to-morrow morning trains may be run ning on time. In some localities it will be weeks before the damage is fully re paired. In the lower anthracite coal region the situation is growing worse. It may be weeks before some of them can be worked, although there was a resumption to-day in a few mines. It is estimated that 60,000 mine workers and. mechanics are idle as a result of the flood. Estimates of the money loss entailed by the floods are from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. So far reports have been received of the loss of nine lives in various parts of the state. < SULTAN APPREHENSIVE Kissing the Prophet's .Mantle a Dan- t;eroiin I ndertak inu. Constantinople.

In the past Cuba ! has paid the tariff duties on sugar and to bai-.-D and has made.a large profit out of these products. Nothing has occurred to my knowl edge which will .prevent the Cubans conduct ing their sugar and tobacco plantations on a profitable basis, even if they pay the full j Dlngley rates. There is a sentiment in lavoc of making some slight concession to the two leading j Cuban products as long as Cuba* occupies its • present position—that Is, while- we- are ex«r --' eisii.g a protectorate over the . island. A i slight concession would not work an injury to I American products, but it would greatly «n --; courage the Cubans What we need is reci | procity with Cuba, as long as it is an inde pendent nation.

Samuel Stevenson, the plaintiff, who charged Dowie with having defrauded him of $185, --000, swore that Dowie waved his hands j and exerted this influence by pressing him j closely to his body. The attorney for the j defense tried to have this power appear in the records as magnetism but the court would not permit it. Stevenson testified that three times he had felt an indescribable awe when Dowie | pressed him to his body and that from this influence he and other persons felt that Dowie could call down a curse upon ! him effectually. He related how Dowie is said to have declared that if Dwight L. Moody did not cease his fight against Zion that he would not say that Moody might not die, and that later Dowie told how Moody had taken sick and died.

SCHLEY CASE IN CONGRESS Continued I rom Flr«t Page. so far as they have had an opportunity to test it, is strongly in favor of a thor ough investigation of the navy depart ment. Attempts will undoubtedly be made to prevent it, for the department has nothing to gain, and presumably much to lose, in any movement which will throw light on the policies of the past few years; but it is believed in well-informed quarters that an investigation will come. The only thing that can prevent it is a radical change In congressional and pub lic sentiment. It has been suggested that navy in-j fluence in congress will be strong enough] wiih the leaders in both houses to chokef off any serious move towards investiga- I tion: and it is said, in support of this' statement, that Speaker Henderson,] among others, will not lend his great au thority to encourage It. This may or I may not be true. The numerical strength of the investigation party is very great, comprising, so far as can now bo known, j a majority of house members, and should, thene members organize and go at the! question vigorously, the speaker cannot j stand against them. One plan which has j adherents looks to the bringing of pivs- j sure to bear on i-ongress through peti- j tious circulated in the states. The Schley | folks are in earnest, and it looks as if; they might- make a national issue of the \ affair. What will Sehley do? Obviously, there can be no serious proceeding unless it j shall have his hearty indorsement. He i was loth to demand a court of inquiry, j It is said in some quartern that he will be equally loth to consent that hi 3 friends in congress proceed along the vigoiousi lines now being mapped out. Before any thing is done he will be consulted. He must indorse the movement, or it will fail. —W. W. Jermane. POLITICAL ASPECT Trying- to Involve MvKlnley Admin- leitration in a Great Scandal. A'«w York Sun Special Service Chicago, Dec. 17. —A Washington special to the Inter Ocean says: Secretary Long desired to let the report of the Schley court of inquiry speak -for it self without comment from himself, but Admiral Schley has again made this im possible by carying his case from the court to the secretary, with the intima tion that he will carry it to the president before he accepts the verdict against him. Admiral Schley sent to Secretary Long a letter requesting him to withhold his approval from the findings of the court until he (Schley) had an opportunity to file objections thereto. In making this request Scbley was acting on advice of his counsel. About the same time Senator Jones, the democratic leader in congress, introduced in the senate a cleverly worded resolution tendering the thanks of congress and the American people to Rear Admiral Schley for his distinguished conduct at Santiago on July 3, 1898, and requesting the president to cause the resolution to be communicated to Schley. This resolution is almost identical with that adopted by congress after the battle of Manila ten dering the thanks of the congress and the American people to Admiral Dewey and his men. Senator Jones had method in his pres entation of this resolution. He did not expect it to be adopted by the republican majority, but he did and does expect to pave the way for making Sehley a martyr persecuted by the republican administra tion. Schley's friends are now planning to make him the democratic candidate for president in 1904. They believe that they can make it appear that he is the victim, of a partizan administration that struck him down because he is a democrat. Ad miral Schley may not be a party to this scheme, but he has fallen into it, and his action in filing a protest against the find ings of the court is in harmony with it. Long; on the Defensive. The admiral and the democratic lead ers have made it impossible for Secretary Long to ignore the report of the court or pass it with simple endorsement as he had intended. He must now defend his administration, and he will do so. He has been advised by administrative leaders that there is no way of longer ignoring the case of Admiral Schley, and that in passing upon the report he should review it and show wherein Ad miral Dewey went beyond the naval reg ulations in expressing an opinion on matters not brought before the court of inquiry. The secretary of the navy will therefore review the report and express not only his approval of the findings of the court, but his disapproval of Admiral Dewey's opinion as to the command at Santiago, showing that this opinion is in defiance of naval regulations, and also not in keeping with the report which Dewey agreed to and signed. Dewey again seems to have fallen into a trap set for him by scheming poli ticians. He sympathized with Schley, an.d after agreeing to the findings which utterly destroyed Schley's contention that he did his duty, preliminary to the battle, sought to lighten the blow by adding his personal opinion that Schley was the senior in command, and to him was due the credit for the victory at Santiago. As a politician Dewey is as innocent and ignorant as a child. The democrats found it impossible to take him for their candidate in 1900, but they are now ready to use him and his sympathy for Schley to help In a campaign against the re publican administration. Involving- the McKinley AdminU- tration. The position of Dewey is unique and the administration has recognized that in its desire to avoid carrying the Schley case further by passing criticism upon Dewey's personal opinion as to who is the "hero of Santiago." But the effort to destroy Admiral Sampson has now devel oped into an effort to Involve the Mc- Kinley administration in a great nava scandal and make it appear that McKin ley and Secretary Long were in a con spiracy to destroy Schley. It is no longe possible for Secretary Long to ignore the question at issue. He must defend his ad ministration even if in doing that he ha to point out the faults of Dewey as presi dent of the court of inquiry. President Roosevelt will not re view th case if appealed to him. He will not giv the democrats an opportunity to say tha he criticized his predecessor's adminis tration. He was assistant secretary of th navy at the beginning of the war with Spain and knows much of the reasons for the assignment to command—why Samp son was selected for commander-in-chief and why Schley was given command of the flying squadron and then sent to Join Sampson under the command of that offi cer. The president knows the whole in side history of the Schley case as it touched the more delicate politics of na tional administration and he has the cour age to put his foot down on any scheme to use him and his present high office to cast reflections upon th# administration of President McKinley. FOR SCHLEV'S RETIREMENT Admiral Will Protecute Maclay, but Not Sue Publishers. Washington, Dec. 17.—At a dinner of the members of the Maryland delegation in congress it was announced that Admiral Schley would not sue the Appletons for civil damages on account of the publica tion of the Maclay book. It was an- , nounced that the admiral was adverse to bringing such a suit on account of the appearance being that he was seeking monetary damages, and he said he ; wanted no money damages. His friends announced that a warrant would be ftsked for the arrest of Edgar Maclay. on the charge of criminal libel. The charge will be based upon the publication of the Maclay history of the navy, in which Schley was termed a coward and a caitiff. At the meeting of the Marylanders it was decided to have introduced a resolu tion to replace Schley on thfe active list of the navy with the rank of vice admiral and then to retire him' on full pay with all allowances. Friends of Admiral Schley have prepared a draft of a bill to ap propriate $10,000 for the purchase of a sword and a medal for him. - •'. ■• COPPER'S INCREASE __—__—; Lake Producers Not Frightened by Dire Prophecies.-;~- HAVE NO THOUGHT OF CURTAILING Luder Consumption In Dreaded—Most All the Old Mine* x Are ■■ Enlarging. Special to The Journal. . Calumet, Mich., Dec. 17.—International interest in copper is intense and every ! new development likely to affect the posi ■ tion of the red; metal is watched by I producer, consumer and investor alike. | ! For years the mining industry has enjoyed unparalleled prosperity because of the • tremendous increase *in the demand for the metal. During the past year this de mand lias eased up somewhat and as i | result it is stated that a large surplus stock has been accumulated in this coun try. Eastern people are therefore pre dicting that calamity is staring the cop- ' per industry in the face, and that unless immediate efforts are put. forth to right existing 'conditions a crash will result that, will equaj. the collapse of the famous Seeretan corner In copper, about- twelvs years ago. The remarkable prosperity the- Lake Superiorcopper district is now enjoying, where millions of dollars an going into new stamp mills and various other improvements, is in striking con trast to these prophecies. There is not | a moner, timberman or laborer of any sort in this district who is not contented with present conditions. It;. has been stated, and with much truth, that the Amalgamated Copper com pany is restricting the output of its Mon tana mines. The feeling all over the | country seems to be that the Amalga- j mated will have to cut down production in order to maintain present prices, but this policy will have little effect on the production of the lake district. The in- j dependent producers of this district are ! not planning a reduction in output, but j I rather an increase. Contrary to general j opinion the prospective increase will come I mainly from the expansion of those prop- j I erties which have been regular producers for a decade. It is true that several mil- I lions of pounds of refined copper will be ; produced by the newer mines during 1902, but the Lake Superior copper mining in dustry has reached such a magnitude that the newer mines have little effect I j on the production of the district for from I three to six years after they are opened. ' | The newer mines of the lake district will ; but commence their production in 1902, j although the combined output of these properties - promises to be large a few years hence. . • - Reserves Enlarged. The Calumet & Hecla has enlarged its reserves on the conglomerate lode and in many other ways prepared for an in creased rock production. The amygdaloid miue will very likely go into commission during the latter half of 1902. This mine, underlying the conglomerate mine at a distance of 730 feet, and opened from sur face through five large double compart ment shafts, modern in every respect has been the subject of much newspaper controversy, it may suffice to say that the amygdaloid mine is by no means a failure. Although the Osceola amygda loid lode is not so heavily mineralized as the Calumet conglomerate, the richest copper lode in the world, it is neverthe less a valuable one, the rock from which will run 1 per- cent mineral. The Calumet & Hecla, and for that matter all other large producers in this district, is treat ing a lower grade rock than formerly reserving the rich grade against a Tuture decline in the price of copper The Tamarack is now equipping its No. 5 shaft, which Ayill eventually increase the production of the mine by 50 Dei cent. The No. 5 shaft will not become a producer befitting its capacity until 1903 n Km Present indications it should swell the Tamarack's output to the »K --000,000-pound mark in 190' '" Qnincy and Other MJnea.

OUR LIBRARIES" Thin Country Cannot Ouaxt of Hay- In« the Greatest and Bent. • _ New Orleans Times-Democrat • We are in the habit of boasting a great deal in this country," said the book worm: but when it comes to libraries we are rather low on the list in comparison with other countries Still we have the best system in the world. We have this virtue as a rule wliich distinguishes us from other peoples: What books we have we read. That's why ■ we have them on hand. I was reading the statement again, a few days ago, about the world great libraries, and. to be candid about it, 1 did not like to see the United States so far down in the list. There is the Bipliotheque Nationale, of Paris, with 2,600 --000 volumes; the British Museum, of London with 2,000,000 volumes: 1,200,000 in the Im penal library at St. Petersburg; 1,000,000 in the royal library at Munich, while the library of congress, at Washington, has only about 8,0,000 volumes. The Boston public library has 820.000 volumes, and the New York public library has 706,000 volumes. But one point which must not be overlooked is the fact that we have now scattered all over the United .States libraries which are free and constantly £ open to the public, and the books to be found • in the more prominent libraries do not repre sent all the nation has. The fact of the. business is that we probably have more books' at the public disposal, for the mere registra tion of a name than any other country of the world, and what is better, as I said before what books we have we have them to read and digest. We believe in a wise dissemina tion of governmental power, and we have made practically the same rule apply to our library system. But I would like to see the United States in a position to boast of having the greatest and best library on the face of the habitable globe, the greatest numerically, and the best from the standpoint or the world's highest literary standard. . That's ' the kind of an American 1 am, and I can't help It, and wouldn't If I could." . .- The woman as porter and guard already is knQwn on French railways, but no'vr a German railroad has opened a larger field to women and is employing them as booking clerks, telegraph operators and in other posts.
