Washington, Deo 17 ?No admin iotrotioo boo ever received a more humiliating defeat at live bauds of a senate controlled by a majority of its own party than baa boon administered to the present one by the amend ment8 added to the day Paoooefote treaty within the last few daya Instead of cringing to England, as the treaty, aa originally drawn by Lord Paoooefote, aod accepted by Secretary Hay and Mr McKinley, did, nod begging the oonaeot of England tod all the other European powera to our constructing the Nicaragua oanal with our own money aod tbeo giving to all other countries equal rigbta therein with us, the amended treaty serves notice on Engletxi that the Clay ton-Bui wer treaty if thereby abrogated ; that we are goiog to dig the canal and con? trol and protect it in our own way and without asking the consent of any other power in the world- In short, when the senate ratifies that treaty it wiH be a thoroughly Ameri? can document, as the public senti? ment of the country has from the first demanded that it should be. When these amendments were first talked about the administration toot ers indulged io considersble bluffing concerning the fight the administra? tion would make to have the treaty ratified without amendment When the time came for a show down did the administration fight ? Net even the tinieat little bit On the contrary, Mr McKinley even gave bis consent to the amendment aod promised to forwsrd the tresty to Eoglaod after Its ratification, but he told the sens tors who went to inform him tbst the amendments would be added whether be liked them or not thai he was (afraid that England would never, leaver aeeept the emended treaty? that Hay was positively certain it would not But tbst doesn't seem to be worrying the senstors. They say tbst if England rejects the tresty aa> amended, congress will adopt a jeiet reeebsSJnSt deolariog the Olsvton ' Bel wet treaty abrogated, aod that tee coeetroctioo of the oansl will go rlge* aloag just the same as tAojrgh Eagre** bed accepted the treaty Senator Allee, of Nebraska, has proposed so amendment to tee ship subsidy bill, authorising payment of bounties on agricultural products el ported, amounts named being, 10 cents a bushel on wbest, 50 cents s barrel on wheat flour, 10 centj a bushel on rye 50 cents a barrel on rye flour, 5 cents a bushel on corn, 7 cents pet oental on ground corn, 1 cent s pound on cotton, 2 cents a pound on hops, snd 2 cents a pound on tobacco There is, of course, no probability tbst Senstors Allen's amendment will be adopted, but be, aad roaoy others, regard the propooi tioo ss on the ssme footing with the object aimed at by the abip subsidy bill, so far ss principle is concerned, and being s much better way to give swsy public money, becsuse it would be more widely distributed The republicans of the ways snd means committee received two de? feats while the bouse wss sitting ss a committee of the whole to consider amendments to the revenue reduction Bill The bouse by a vote of 94 to 95 defeated the committee amend* ment, abolishing one sixth snd one eighth beer barrels, on the ground tbst it wss s discrimination againat the smsll brewers of the country, snd by s vote of 106 to 82, adopted sn amendment, proprosed by repre eentstive H 0. Smith, of Mich, requiring all railroad and express companies to make sworn statements monthly of their business and to pay ooe cent tax for each bill of lading and receipt issued Later the com mitten assisted by senator Platt, of N Y , who is president of one of the big express companies, rallied its forces snd got the letter amendment Strock out just before tue final vote was taken pessiog bill From being the Czar of the house to being unknown to a member of the bouse is quite s plunge for a man to take inside of two years, but the drop has been made by Hon Thdroas Brackett K*ed, whose law practice bow includes a little congressional lobbying. Mr Reed wss just coming i out of the house when representative I Cromer, of Indiens, asked ooe of the door keepers, who thst fat man was Such is fame Secretary Ro >t wants to do all the lobbying himself that is done by the War Department; consequently ho haa sent a circular letter to tbe army officers who are at the head of tiu reaua in that department, calling their attention to an army regulation "Efforts to influence legislation affect? ing tt e. army abould never be made except through regular military cban ncls,'1 and directing that all com municationa that aimy officers desire sent to Congress shall be forwaided through him. Although the Army Rcorganiza tioe bill Iias not yet beta reported from the scuste Committee on Mili tsry Affairs, and is not likely to be until after the Christmas recess, which will be from Dec 21, until Jan uary 3, tho republicans are already swooping down on Mr McKinley with demsods of promises of Appoint I ments thst will be made when that I bill becomes a law, and it is said that some republican senators have inti mated to him that they will not allow the bill to go through uuless their de? mands for pap are met Senator Hanna is getting alarmed sboot the ship subsidy bill, which be said at the beginning of the session he would get through the Senate be fore the holiday recess. He has chsoged bis mind Sow to Cure Group. Mr R Gray who lives Dear Amenta, Duchess county, N Y, sajs : Obamnerlain's Cough Remedy is tbe best medicioe I bate ever used.

This bill haa made appearance quite a number of yesre in succession, only to meet tbe same fate The New York Commercial says: Tbe oppocente of the measure sre Isrgely the operatives themselves. They argue that tbey are poor snd tbat their children must of necessity work. The mill owners, too, have, as d rule, opposed the measure Tbey say, aside from tbo poverty of tbe cotton mill operatives' families, the South has no compulsory educational law; that these parents would not send their children to school if they were debarred from tho mills ; tbst to turn these childrcu out into idleness would be to make lifetime loafers out of tbem ; snd that, bad as is the posi? tion of a yoing working child, tbe position of an idle, loafing child is to be the more deplored " ? ?m aaesw Commissioner Crnm states tbat the shipments of tbe dispensary sggre gste Jl l,500 s day, and the dispeu sers throughout the State are clamor? ing for more liquor snd insisting that they ought to have more stock.
