FROM THE
NATION'S CAPITAL.
From Vud Oicn Vorr&pondent.
\V A.SI11NGijoN, D. 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."

* CoL Eslitf Tells of long Distance Fly.
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."

Christros Recitation for a Child?"No
Santa Claus."
Good evening, friends! please pardon
me,
I should not try to speak ;
I havo just been frightened so to-night,
It nlmosc makes me weak ;
Folks said?ah, yes, and bin folks, too?
"There is no Santa Claus?
That all the pretty sweets and toys
Come from our pas and urns."
Our pas and mas! now think of that!
Why each of them deny ;
"y ma is t?'?tbfuluess icscit,
My pa wont tell a lie;
And pa and ma told me last night
'Twns true as true could be
That Santa Claus brings every toy,
And every Christmas tree.
Why, even now I think of it:
Lust night, while in my bed,
I heard tho strangest, strangest sound ;
I looked, and raised my head,
When there before mo, largo and tall,
Clothed in a woolly gown,
'Twas?something ! and its big, big head
\\ as nodding up and down.
I looked at it, it looked at me ;
1 did not faint at all;
It shook its long, white linger, so !
And then 1 heard it cull :
"Hush, little one?there, make no noise,
I tell you this is true,
ThntSauta Claim some night this week
Will surely visit you.
"So busy is this Santa Claus
Preparing Christmas toys
Tops, dolls, drums and jumping jacks,
For little girls and boys ;
Now story books and picture cards,
Silk handkerchiefs and ties,
Full candy bags, nuts and things
Of every shape and size.
"So faithful is this dear old Saint,
lie sent me hero to say
He always comes at night because
Ho is busy through the day ;
But children who will hung their socks
And stockiugB by tho fire
Will lind them filled from toe to top
With all their hearts, desire."
Perhaps you soy this was a dream ;
I cannot think it was ;
I am sure 1 snw the messenger - -
Of Mr. :3nnta Clans :
And who can tell?well, no one knows
But in our very Bight
This dear old Santa Claus may come
And visit us to-night.
Please do not think my heart too light,
Or say my hopes are Vain ;
I cannot help being very glad
Thnt Christmas comes again, :
Tho cruel tale that frightened me
Was only jest?because
I always knew, I know, tb-night '
There IS a Santa Claus.
