TREATY AND
SUBSIDY
Both Measures Will be
Considered by the Sen
ate This Week.
CANAL BILL
HAS PRECEDENCE
But Senator Morgan Will Not Preu
That Measnre Till tht Treaty li
Passed.
Washington, Dec. u.—The senate
will continue to give its attention to the
Ilay-Pauneefote treaty and the ship sub
sidy bill duriug the present week, taking
up first one and then thectlier.as may suit
the convenience of those who may wish
to speak on the two measures. During
the last session of congress the Nicarag
uan canal hill was made the special order
of business for Monday uext, but the
establishment of the ship bill as the reg
ular order will have the effect of displac
ing the canal bill, preference being given
under the senate rules to a regular order
over a special order. It is understood
that Senator Morgan, who has charge of
the canal bill, will not press the measure
until the treaty for the abrogation of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty is disposed of.
On this account the friends of the ship
bill do not apprehend that he will make
any opposition to the continuance of the
consideration of that measure. He has,
indeed, said that he would he content to
allow his bill to follow closely in the
wake of the ship bill.
Three or four seuate speeches are
promised in opposition to the subsidy
bill, and it is expected that most, if not
all of these already in sight will be made
during this week. Among those who
probably will speak on the subject are
Senators Clay, Vest and Berry, all of
whom oppose the bill. Senator Vest is
an especial advocate of free ships.
There are differences of opinion as to
what effect the taking of a vote oil the
fortification amendment to the treaty will
have upon the time of disposing of that
instrument, but a majority of the sen
ators express the opinion that the vote
upon the treaty itself will follow soon
after the vote upon the amendment.
The indications are that the amendment
will he adopted and as thus amended the
treaty will he ratifi-d. Opponents of the
treaty will offer other amendments, hut
they do not count upon having them
favorably acted upon. The senate will
not sit Wednesday, on account of the
centennial celebration of the establish
ment of the seat of government at Wash
ington, and there is a possibility of ad
journment from Thursday until Monday
of next week.
Shoe Leases
Nkw York, Dec n.—-The board of
directors of the National Association of
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers met here
today. They are awaiting the answer of
the United Shoe Machinery company to
the objections urged by the National
Association of Boot and Shoe Manufac
turers to the form of leases recently
adopted by it. I ightv seven per cent of
the members of the latter association have
not signed and are not disposed to sign
the objectionable leases and 13 per cent
have signed it, but many of these have
expressed regret for having hastily com
plied with the exacting demands of the
lessor and have appealed for relief.
New East Channel.
Brooklyn, Dec. ir.—The work of
dredging the new east channel will begin
in a few days. After its completion it
will be known as the Ambrose channel.
It will furnish a pathway 2,000 feet wide
and 40 feet deep from the Narrows
across Sandy Hook bar to the open sea.
thereby doing away with the tortuous
and difficult channel which now exists
and providing an easy and safe pas age
at all tides and conditions of weather
to the vessels ot great draught which
must at present regulate their sailing
hours by the varying state of the tide,
Two giant hydraulic dredges have been
constructed to do the work which com
prises the digging out of no less 40,000,
000 gallons of sand and mud which now
obstruct the channel. These dredges
suck sand from the bottom with their
powerful hydraulic pumps at the rate of
75.»» gallons per minute. These dredges
are 50 per cent larger, 50 per cent more
powerful and 40 per cent greater
carrying capacity than any dredges in
the world. They embody the same prin
ciples as made so successful the dredges
used in improving the Mersery at Liver
pool. The contract calls for the com
pletion of the work in five years.
Large Dividends in December.
Nkw York, Dec. it.—The payments of
dividends and interest this month will be
very large. It is estimated that during
the month of December approximately
$42,000,000 will be paid out in interest on
railroad, industrial and miscellaneous
bomls and dividends on stocks. The
total amount received by holders of this
class of securities during the year of 1900
is placed at about $615,500,000. The
largest disbursements were made in Jan
uary, when they exceed $100,000,doo.
Next to January comes July, with an
amount exceeding $99,.100,000,
Cincinnati and Dayton
Cincinnati, Dec. n.—The stock
holders of the Cincinnati, Hamilton aud
Dayton railway system are holding a
special meeting for the consideration of
a proposition from the directors to re
fund their bouds into 4 per cents. It is
also proposed to purchase all lines now
operated uuder lease and to refund the
bouds of the leased lines and provide for
such a new issue as will enable the sys
tem to make various needed improve
ments. The plan is similar to that
adopted by the Altou and the Burlington
lines.
Big Charity Bail in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 11. — The German
American Charity Association will hold
its seventh annual charity ball tonight in
the auditorium. This year the prepara
tions surpass those of previous years. A
new feature is the forming of a women's
auxiliary to act in the disposition of boxes
and seats. It is composed of 379 prom
ineut Chicago women. Last year this
charity ball netted a profit of $12,600,
This year it is expected that the net re
suit will be much larger.
Ready for Ice Skating.
Brooklyn, Dec. it. —The committee
of the skating club of this city, who have
reorganized the club for the season, an
nounces that the Clermont avenue rink
is now open and will close not earlier
than Monday, March 18. The public are
allowed to disport themselves at will in
the rink, except on Monday ^evening*
and Wednesday and Friday mornings,
which are reserved for members. The
sale of tickets for the season is very
large.
The New Monte Carlo
Wasaington, Dec. 10.— The new
Monte Carlo race track at Chesapeake
Beach opeued today. The track is first
class in every respect, and is opened as
an outlaw track because license has
been refused, but it is hinted that only
the horses are outlawed and not the
owners, trainers or riders.
Alabama Mine Workers.
Birmingham, Dec. 10.—The Alabama
division of the United Mine Workers of
America met here today for the election
of officers—president, vice president and
secretary-treasurer. The old officers

otlim-s are candidates. A spirited con
tests now in progress.
F. F. & V Festival.
Houston, Dec. 10.—The Texas fruit,
flower aim vegetable festival began here
today an exhibition that will continue
until the 15th. The show is a fine one
and the attendance is large. It is ex
pected that this exhibition will be made
the nucleus of a South Texas fair to be
held uext year.
Prohibition Conference.
Indianapoi.IS, Dec. it.—The Prohibi
tionists are holding a state conference to
day which will extend over tomorrow. As
the candidate for president, John G.
Woolley, received 10,79s more votes this
vear thau the prohibition candidate for
governor did in 1896 the party feels much
encouraged.
STRIKERS
SATISFIED
The Situation Satisfactory
From the Telegraphers
Point of View.
FIREMEN AND EN
GINEERS MAY JOIN
The Striker* Hop« to Extend the
Sympathetic Movement Till It
Include* all Allied Trade*.
Los Angrlrs, Dec. 11.—Chairman
Roger* of the local conttnUce of the
Order of Railway Telegraphen, who ia
also assistant chairman of the entire or
ganization west of Albuquerque, stated
tonight that the strike situation on the
Santa Fe is entirely aatisfactory from the
telegraphers' point of view. It i* as
serted that on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe proper a sympathetic atrike
would be inauguarated by the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and
thia strike will be rapidly extended to
other divisions if necessary.
The strikers have issued the fqjlowing
statement:
"We, the telegraph operators of the
Santa Fe system, that are under the di
rection of General Manager Nevln, feel
that while we are being treated all right
the conditions under which we are work
are altogether different from those which
exist on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
branch. This branch being a part of the
Santa Fe system division No. 23 of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, a blow
struck at any portion of this division af
fects the entire body constituting the di
vision. General Manager Nevin atates
that we are violating our contract with
them by a sympathetic strike in behalf of
our fellow workmen on the Gulf, Colo
rado & Santa Fe branch, which isa part
of our <\jvision. He errs in this, for we
are absolutely violating no portion of the
tract recently entered into with
him. There is no part of contract which
provides lor an occasion of this kind. The
schedule merely provides that a 30 day»'

The Haaaalerc ta Ba TM Up.
The steamer Haunaford will ba with
drawn from the Snake river traffic and
tied up again at Riverside. This ia the
conclusion that wa* reached by the offi
cials who visited Lewiston yesterday. W.
G. Pierce, aaaiaUat to President Mellen,
spent the day in the city in consultation
with F. W. Kettenbach who had jaat
leased the boat to operate on the upper
river in connection with the Northern
Pacific. Three tripe had beeil made and
about 7000 aacks of grain trantferred to
the Northern Pacific tracks when the
abandonment of the enterprise ia an
nounced. Ostensibly the reason given ia
that the boat ia not suited to the traffic of
the upper river, but really the origin of
the movement is some part of the inside
plana of the two great corporations. The
boat was in all probability pat on to force
some other concession from the O.R & N.
and that being accomplished the boat ia
again consigned to the wharf at River
side to be operated by a watchman. The
action augura againat any probable ex
tension of rival lines in the Clearwater
country.
