Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Peb, 4.— Another ?f
--fort was made In the executive session
of the senate today to secure a unani
mous vote upon ihe resolutions Inter
pretative of tlie peace treaty, and it
was Kefused by the opponents of the
treaty. The request was preferred by
Benator Sullivan. >'f Mississippi, who
expressed a desire to have a vote on
the resolution offered by himself. Sen
ator Jones made the objection.
There was also another effort to se
cure general consent to an earlier
meeting Monday, but this was also re
fused. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, act
intr as spokesman for the opposition.
Si nator \A>dge was in charge of the
fortunes of the treaty in the absence
( >f Senator Davis. He suggested meet
lug on Monday at U o'clock, but con
scut was refused, as was also consent
to a recess until 12 o'clock Monday or
fo an order dispensing with the routine
business on that day. „
The result was an adjournment until
12 o'clock Monday without any condi
tions.
The fact developed during this fen
cing for time that several senators
wished still to l>e heard in explanation
of their attitudes. Among those who
have announced their Intention to ask
to be heard Is Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, who. it was stated, would de
ncunce the opposition to the treaty in
Democratic ranks as a conspiracy
against Mr. Bryan.
For the rest Senator Morgan occu
pied the attention of the senate in a
very forcible argument in support of
the treaty. He declared his convic
tion that the treaty should be ratified
without amendment or modifying dec
laration. He believed the American
commissioners to the Paris conference
had acted very wisely and in the best
Interests of the whole country, and he
for one was willing to accept their
work just as they had given it to us.
He also was perfectly willing to trust
the president, aided as he would be by
congress, to take care of the Philip
pine question in the way most satisfac
tory to our own people and in the best
interests of the Filipino. He warned
the Democratic- senators against tak
ing a position against the treaty, as
serting that if they succeeded in de
feating it they would wreck the Demo
cratic party.
Senator Morgan contended that there
were no constitutional impediments in
the way of acquiring the Philippines.
They could be acquired under inter
national law and the constitution gave
full scope to the legislation giving ef
fect to law for the control of the in
ternational affairs.
PEACE TREATY PLEAS.
Mr. Million Opposed and Mr. Wol
<•«>!< Favored Ratlticatlui.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.— This was anotta
pr day of expansion oratory in the senate.
In the opening session the speakers were
Mr. Chilton, of Texas, and Mr. Wolcott, of
Colorado. Mr. Chilton made a constitutional
Argument In support of the Vest resolution,
his principal objection to the annexation of
Hh Philippines being-that it would admit
to this country both the Filipinos ana their
products to come in competition with our
own workingmen and their products. His
ptoposf-d solution of the pending problem
was the establishment of a republic in the
Philippines over which the United States
would exerrise such care as It gives the
ii public of Liberia.
Mr. Wolcott made an eloquent— almost im
jiii-sloned appeal to the senate for the rati
fication of the peace treaty. His tribute to
lh<> administration for the successful conduct
of the war and to the peace commissioners
for their successful efforts in behalf of their
country was the feature of his speech. At
the conclusion of his brief address he was
iceorded the compliment of hearty applause.

BIG SCANDAL BREWING.
The I'arls ExuohlUoii CommiMßion
Pay Roll Induly Large.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.— lt Is likely that a
big scandal will be developed in connection
with the management of affairs of the Amer
ican commission to the Paris exposition.
There has been appropriated up to date
$650,000 for the Amerieau exhibit. Commis
sioner General Peck has asked for a million
and a half more, and the committee on ap
propriations of the house while preparing the
deficiency bill has caused a very thorough
Investigation to be made into the manner in
which the money has been expended. It is
found that Commissioner Peck's salary roll
has reached the enormous sum of $104,000 per
annum. He seems to have filled the commit
tee up with a list of useless employes at good,
fat salaries. One of these places is designated
as appointment clerk of the commission, and
the gentleman fortunate enough to hold that
place, who, of course, comes from Chicago,
draws a salary of $4,500 a year, which is
twice as much rs the salaries paid to appoint
ment clerks in the executive departments
here. In addition to this he is allowed an
expense account of $8 cer diem.

Statement l.» ■>< <-i ed to Further

NEW YORK,' Feb. 4.— The Financier
says:
"The statement of the associated
banks of New York city for the week
ending Feb. 4, shows a decrease in
surplus reserve of $1,779,350, the first
contraction noted since Dec. 10 last.
The shrinkage, in view of the enor
mous expansion in loans and deposits.
Is moderate, being offset to a degree by
the gain of $2,816,000 in cash reported.
The statement seems to reflect in a
belated manner the activity of stock
exchange speculation, and probably
The William Cramp & Sons Ship and En
gine Building company, of Philadelphia, laid
th« keel last week for the Maine, while the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
company, at Newport News, Va., have the
contract to build the Missouri, and the Union
Iron works, at San Francisco, Cal. (builders
of the celebrated Oregon), will construct the
Ohio. All of these vessels must be ready for
service in 1901. The following are the con
tract prices: Maine, $2,885,000; Missouri.
$2,885,000, and Ohio, $2,899,000.
A. number of features new to the battleships
of our navy are to be Introduced in these
craft. Water-tube boilers are to take the place
of the cylindrical boilers, heretofore used, and
deals with the previous week's busi
ness, as much as with current opera
tions. The increase of $15,154,400 in
loans, for example, cannot altogether
be charged to the past week, as the
volume of exchange transactions fell
off appreciably. The gain in deposits
amounted to $18,385,000, which is above
normal, taking the cash and loan ex
pansion into consideration. The actual
expansion of cash is less than had been
figured, but it is doubtful if the aver
ages reveal the full result of the gains
from the interior. A detailed analysis
in fact shows that one bank gained
over $5,000,000 in specie, which is al
most twice as much as the gain re
ported by all the banks. Special opera
tions and shifting of funds doubtless
have much to do in bringing this
about."
"Taken as a whole the statement is
favorable. Never before have totals
approached such figures as are now be
ing reported, but despite the unprece
dented expansion of loans and deposits,
the banks are carrying $37,452,675 idle
cash, and with receipts overbalancing
disbursements there seems no limit to
their power to meet the demands made
upon them. As a matter of fact the
New York clearing institutions have
doubled their business in a little over
two years, and still have surplus re
serves beyond the average. The cur
rent statement may have the effect of
temporarily stimulating the money
market, but it Is too much to expect,
even with an expansion in totals such
as the week's operations reveal, that
rates can maintain an advance. It
will require a much more appreciable
reduction of surplus to bring about a
change of that character."

the submerged torpedo discbarge is to be
incorporated fn the building of the hulls. Un
der-water torpedo tubes have been in use in
foreign navies for some time, and they appear
to work well. In armor, it 1b expected that by
treating it with the Krupp process a deduc
tion of 25 per cent in the thickness can be
made, thus reducing the weight, without low
ering its resisting powers. In armament the
heaviest guns will be of the 12-inch type,
which appears to be the practice in European
navies at the present day. The muzzle veloc
ity will be 3,000 feet per second, using smoke

Twin City railroad, men are watch
ing developments in the case of the
Minneapolis & St. Louis which has de
clared an intention to build a line
which will connect the Twin Cities
with Omaha and Rive to this section a
direct outlet south and to J:hat section
a direct road for its grain and live
stock to this market. It is the general
opinion that the new line will disturb
the situation to the advantage of ship
pers and buyers. The line will cross a
territory that is now supplied with
many roads, but that all run east and
west. In order for the farmers to get
their products to the Twin Cities they'
must first send them to Chicago, and
thus pay excessive rates for ordinary
shipments. In consequence of this
much grain that should come to the
Twin Cities goes to Chicago. When the
new line is completed it is reasonable
to assume that most of the grain which
goes to Chicago now will come here,
and the Twin Cities will be the gain
ers. The same rule apeJies- to live
stock.
.That the new line will tend to re
duce freight rates is conceded and the
Northwestern and other lines running
to Chicago are not pleased with the
prospect. The Minneapolis & St. Louis
will cross several opposition lines at a
number of points and this is feared will
cause a good deal of litigation, as it
will be the policy of opposition lines
to place as many obstacles as possible
in the way of the proposed extension.
No line has openly expressed an inten
tion to contest the building: of the ex

SALE OP THE ALTON.
President Blaekatoine, In a Circular.
Practically Opposes It.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.— T. B. Blackstone, presi
dent of the Chicago & Alton road, Issued a
circular letter to the stockholders today.
TVhlch.is likely to create a sensation in rail
road and financial circles. The circular will
accompany that sent out by J. J. Mitchell,
submitting to the vote of , stockholders the
proposition to sell the road to a syndicate at
1176 a share for the common and $200 for the
preferred stock. While no positive advice Is
tendered to Jhe stockholders In Mr. Black
stone's circular, no one can read It i without
being convinced that the writer is bitterly
opposed to the adoption of the proposition.
From the beginning, it is said, the n;gotla
tions have been carried on in opposition to
Mr. Blackstone's views and wishes. It was
Mr. Blackstone's veto that prevented the
sale of the Chicago & Alton to the , Kansas
City, Pittaburg & Gulf railroad. The present

opinion,, would be fair to all the stockholders
of the Chicago ft Alton.
In the circular issued today Mr. Blackstone
pointed out that, the road has bevn through
out the whole period of business depression
paying 7 per cent dividenas; that the earn
ings at the , present time would Justify the
directory In paying 8 per cent, but due con
sideration for the physical condition of the
road has .induced the-ii to pursue the con
servative policy of reserving large amounts
for Its improvement The circular further
deal* wfth the fact that the bond issue of
the road will mature in less than three years
and can be refunded ,for less than one-half
the present rate of interest, standing offers
having been received for the full amount re
quired to, carry through this plan. When that
has been done there would not only be a
reasonable probability, but a certainty that
the property, if managed ,as It has been,
would be able to pay stockholders 15 per cent
on their holdings.
