G.. Dec. 17,1900. Even the Senate, two-thirds Repub lican as it is, could not stand far the canal treaty as negotiated by our Au glomaniae Secretary of State and up held by o??r easy going Pr?sident. The Davis amendment, which guaran tees to the United States the exact privileges guaranteed to the Sultan of Turkey by the Sucs converties, h?s been adopted by the overwhelming vote of 60 to 17. The treaty itself has not yet been voted on, but an agree ment has been reached to still further amend it by a clause distinctly abro gating the Clay tou-Bulwer | treaty, which it superae<le% and by striking out the clause compelling this country to submit its 'action in regard to a strictly American enterprise to the supervision of the European nations. The clause prohibiting fortifications at the ends of the canal may also be stricken out, and there is even n possi bility of the entire treaty being in the end defeated. Just what will be done if this is accomplished it is hard to. say. If the President Were a difierent sort of a man and, the Secretary of State less wedded to British ideals, there is little doubt that a resolution would be passed declaring the Clayton :Bulwer treaty invalidated by Britain's own violation of years ago. As ILc situa tion 'stands, however, 3Ir Hay ex presses his doubts as to v nether the Senate may not so amend the treaty that ho cannot in decency submit it to Great Britain. If he.feels this way about an amendment, thete can be no doubt how he will feel about complete abrogation. A most curious incident occurred at the exercises in the chamber of the House on Wednesday last in celebra tion of the Centennial of the founding of the seat of Government in this city. Among the' decorations of the cham ber were a number of flags, one of which was that of Great Britain. There was naturally some comment upon this, arising i om the fact that the banner has n . dr been seen in or on the Capitol since the day when it floated proudly over the building, after the same had been fired by the British troops under General Boss. A Cen tennial celebration of tile Capital hard ly could have been complete without some striking allusion to that interest ing fact and how could it be empha sized better than by swinging the British ensign from the House gallery, for the firsfc time since 1814. when a British regiment held a mock session of CongreBb in what is now Statuary Hall, but then was the meeting place of the House. The Democrats made so many sarcastic comments on this that soDio Republicans became panic j stricken and urged Speaker Henderson to have the flag removed. It proving too late to do this, a big signal flag was draped over It, concealing it from view. However, the Anglomantacs won after all, for the British flag waved proudly on the front facade of the Capitol all day long. While the ship subsidy bill, as at present submitted to the senate, ban been amended almost out of recogni tion, practically every change has been in the direction of more scandalous favoritism to the American Une and loss care for the freight carriers of the farmer's produce, which should cor- j tain Iy get the subsidy if any are to be so specially favored by the govern ment. The original bill granted two sorts of subsidies, one for freight alone and one for speed alone. The former class, however, cannot draw a subsidy for a trip on Which It carried less than half its gross tonnage in freight. In estimating the percentage of cargo re quired for passenger steamers it was provided that the space permanently devoted to passengers and maim should be deducted from the gross tonnage, and the cargo be. 50 per cent, of the re mainder. When the American Line officers "drew up the subsidy bill they supposed ,it would catch the money from the Treasury both coming and going. Senator Fryo ad.uitted that the St. Louis, for instance, would re ceive -$108,448 annually from the ton nage subsidy, and $173,040 under the speed subsidy, a total of $281,488 per annum for this single ship of a single line. It seems, however, that the cargo capacity of the St. Louis is really only about 1,400 tons, while its gross ton nage is 11,020 tons. SubBtracting the space used for passengers and mails, there still remains so large a net ton nage that the ship could not possibly carry enough freight to earn any sub sidy at a?l under the freight clauses. A meeting was held a week ago be tween Mr. Griscom and other ship owners and Senator Frye, at which this mistake was pointed out and the para graph providing that no vessel should be cleared with a cargo of half Its gross tonnage was changed to read "CO per centum of the capacity for carrying commercial cargo.7' The-subsidy is based on the gross tonnage just the same. In the case of the St. Louis a cargo subsidy will be given on over 11,000 torn, every trip provided it carries a cargo of half its "capacity for carrying commercial cargo," which is half of 1,400 or just 700 tons. Think of it! A subsidy for carrying 11,629 tons of freight tobe earned by carrying less than 700 tons. As Hr. Hanna admitted in the Senate, the bill has undoubtedly been greatly "improved" by the amendments. Im proved for whose benefit, " however, is the quostion. l?oa Ore in South Carolina. The Manufacturera1 Record repub liehes an interesting bit of news rela tive to the iron industry of South Carolina. It reads : "We have received from Mr. John S Norwood, of Dresden, Abbeville Coun ty, South Carolina, a sample of very fine magnetic ore, of which he says then* is an abundant supply in that county. Col. J. C. Black? of Blacks burg, Cherokee County, Sooth Caro lina, has furnished daring the past CT t"70. w??iuG?M&lO ?'i'i??titlect ?Jt the same kind of ore to the Cherokee foresee of the Empire Steel andiron Company, of Greensboro. N. C. The existence in South. Carolina of iron ore of excellent quality has long been known. In our 'Iron in All Ages1 wo gave full details of an active iron in dustry that existed in that State in the' Ins'/ century and down to 1856, soon after which year the last fire in its various iron enterprises was pat oat. "In the northwestern part of South Carolina, including the counties of Union, Spartanburg, Cherokee and York, are valuable deposits of mag netic ore, and here the first iron works in the State were erected by Mr. Buf 1 fington in 1773, bat they were des troy - ! ed by tho Tories daring the Ko volu tion. " Soon. after the Ko volution both furnaces and forges were built in York County, and about 1815 there was a .sheet mill in this county; also a nail factory. In 1803 an air. furnace was erected on a neck of land between Coop?r and Ashley Rivers, where good castings are said to have been made. Tench Coxe enumerates two bloomaries in Spartanburg County, in 1810, four in Pendleton County, two in Greenville County and ono in York County, nine in all. He also mentions one small nailery and one small steel furnace in the State. He makeB no reference to blast furnaces. In the census year Of 1840 there were four blast furnaces in South Carolina und nine bloomaries, forges and rolling mills. In 1856 South Carolina had eight furnace8?ono in York, one in Union and six in Spartan burg County. They are described by Lesley. Four of these furnaces were then in operation, but the- other four had been virtually abandoned. In 1856 there were also three rolling mills in the State?one hi York, one in Union and one in Spartanburg County, all of which were active in that year. "Owing to the entire absence of min eral fuel, it is perhaps too much to hope that South Carolina will coon see a re vival of the manufacture of iron within its borders, but it is not at all improba ble that in the near future its valuable deposits of iron ore will be mined and shipped on a large scale. Better rail road facilities than now exist would hasten this end." Incoiporated Towns of the State.

Colonel J. H. Est ill, the editor of The Savannah News, says that a buzzard once flew from New York to Charles ton, 8. C, in four hours. "There had been a lot of talk about the time which would be required for one of these fly ers to get home, and it was agreed one day to box up a fine looking specimen and ship it to New York. There was a great deal of intorest in this test of speed, and the man who received the swift bird of the air was instructed to release It at a certain hour and to tele graph the moment the buzzard sniffed the free air. The message came here that the bird, all properly marked for identification, had been released from its box, and watchers were stationed in Market, street to time the moment of arrival. Various time allowances had been suggested by the interested crowd "f watchers, and the prevailing idea was that the buzzard could not get back home for a day, if at all. But this is where the people were wrong, for, as I remember it, the buzzard pok ed its nose toward Charleston as soon as it was set free, and the trip to Char leston was made in four hours. The old bird appeared to be very mnch the worse for wear when it got in, but a record had been made, and all the pools made on the flying time were upset." $100 Reward. $100.
