THE CANAL TREATY RATIFIED. Long Contest Brought to an End ht Last. FINAL VOTE WAS OVERWHELMING. Only Five Senators Out of the 78 Present Voting Against Ratifi? cation, Although Twenty-seven Senators Had Voted ia Favor of the Democratic Sub? stitute for Article 4 of the Treaty. Washington, March * 17.-Without ! dotting an "i" or crossing a "t" even without changing a single punctuation mark, the Senate today voted to ratify the treaty with the Republic of Co? lombia for the construction of an isth? mian canal. The vote for ratification was 73 in the affirmative to 5 in the negative. The senate was in execu? tive session when the result was an? nounced, so that only the Senators themselves and a few confidential em? ployees i?ere present All the Sena? tors announced themselves as grati fied to have the long struggle termi? nated, but none of them manifested their apprecition by cheers or hand clapping. On the contrary, all of them seemed more concerned about getting away from the chamber than about anything else, so that by the time the Senate could adjourn,?which it did almost immediately after the result was announced, most of the , Senators had left their seats and some of them had donned their hats and . overcoats. The day was given up almost entire? ly to general debate on the treaty-and in addition to the set speeches made under the general agreement by Sen at?is Morgan and Cullom there were many short speeches aud a rather long speech by Senator Daniel, of Vir? ginia. The oniy party vote of the day was taken on the substitute for Article 4, which was agreed upon by the Democratic caucus and had reference to the acquisition of territory in Cen? tral and South America by the United States. There were a number of speeches on this amendment, but it was vote down by an almost two-thirds majority, the ballot footing up 51 yeas to 27 nays. Senator Money offered the sub? stitute for the fourth article of the treaty, which disavows any intention on the part of the United Sattes t^ in? crease its territory at the expense of South or Central America. Speeches were made in support of the Money amendment by Senators Bacon, Teller, Daniel, Morgan and others. They contended i;or an impar? tial recognition of all American re publics, urging that under the lan? guage of the fourth article of the treaty Mexico would be left as the only * American Republic to which the avow? al of non-encroachment could be held as non-applicable. Senator Spooner and Hoar replied, contending that there was practically no difference be? tween the language of the amendments and that of the article as it stands. After the vote was taken Senator Daniel then offered an amendment pro? viding that the treaty should not take effect until it had been approved by the Congress. Senator .Daniel spoke in .advocacy of this.pro vision. ? The fact soon developed that Sena? tor Daniel had offered his amendment for the purpose of making a general speech upon the treaty, and when the fifteen minutes allowed for his speech on his own amendment had expired and the amendment was voted down. Senator Morgan presented four or five of his amendments, which were each in turn defeated, but upon all of ? which Senator Daniel continued toi - speak. All told, he spoke for about an hour. His speech was an arraign- j ment of the Republican policy in pres? sing the treaty with what he asserted was undue haste. He referred to the enormous expenditure that would be required to construct the canal and charged recklessness in rushing into an enterprise such as tais. After Senator Daniel had closed, seve'ral other Senators both sides sides of the chamber addressed the Senate in fifteen-minute speeches for and against the treaty. Among those" who spoke against it was Senator Gor? man, who devoted himself especially to the question of the necessity for adequate defence of the canal, which he said could be assured only by'the United States. He asserted that Sen? ators were not thinking for themselves, but were following blindly in the lead of the Secretary of State. Indeed, he declared that Senators were prac? tically surrendering their own offices in order to maintain a reputation for party allegiance. Senator Platt, of Connecticut, was one or the few Senators, if not the only Senator, to announce his entire satisfaction with the treaty. He crticised the Democratic Senators for using undue minuteness in their efforts to find defects in the agree? ment. He was sure they were split? ting hairs. When at 4.45 p. m., it became ap? parent that the fifteen-minute speech? es had been concluded, Senator Mor? gan surprised the Senate by refraining rrom presenting any more individual amendments, and by presenting all of the fifty which he ?ad prepared in one block, submitting them, with the portions of the text of the treaty which he bad not changed, as a substitute for the whole agreement. He did not demand a roll call and the sub? stitute was voted down, viva voce, al? most unanimously. It was now a few minutes past 5 o'clock and Senator Morgan took the floor to make the last of his long series of speeches in opposition to the treaty. In accordance with the unanimous agreement he spoke for an hour, and, in order to confine himself to the time and to make the points he desired tc make, he had prepared his speceh in advance. He read deliberately but in firm voice, often digressing in orde r to emphasize a point. He stopped short at the expiration of his allotted time whereupon Senator Cullom, chair? man of the committee on foreign rela? tions, took the floor in reply. He also read his speech from manuscript, pre? senting a carefully prepared and busi? ness-like summary of the reasons for ratifying the treaty and for construct- j i ne the canal, Senato r Cullom occupied only about fhree-quarters of an hour allotted to himself, and when he had concluded, the question as to whether the treaty should be ratified was promptly put before the Senate. All the Senators in the city occupied their seats and all were prompt in re? sponding when their names were call? ed. Hie vote resulted in the ratifica? tion of the treaty by 73 to 5. The result was no surprise, for all had pre? dicted that when the offered amend? ments had been disposed of the treaty would be approved by an oerwhelmiug majority. The first opposition vote recorded was that of Senator Daniel, of Vir? ginia. Senator Daniel was joined by his colleague, Senator Martin, and af? ter them came the two Alabama Sen? ators-Messrs. Morgan and Pettus. Senator Teller, of Colorado, also voted in oppositon, and his vote was the last vote on that side of the question. When Senator Frye, who occupied the chair, announced the result there was no demonstration and the Senate ?adjourned. Before this result was reached, however, it had been decided to meet again tomorrow at ll o'clock for the purpose of taking up the Cuban treaty, and with the hope of conclud? ing its consideration in order that the Senate might adjourn finally tomor? row. THE SMART SET. Here's the story as told without names by the New York Sun. Whenever two or three persons have gathered together in the name of society in the last few days, one sub? ject has monopolized discussion. This is a party that was given on Monday night by" a rich bachelor in honor of an American-born woman on a visit to this country from. England, where sise has for years made her home. After the dinner, which opened the evening, there came to the restaurant from the theatre in which they were acting, a negro comedian and his wife. They, were to revive the flagging spirits of the guests and did . their work well. They cavorted and sang as effectively as they*do on the stage and aroused the exclusive audience to great enthusiasm. It was the dancing of the pair that in particular delight? ed the guests. But appreciation of the efforts of the coon comedians went even further. The host of the evening invited the colored woman to dance. She accepted"and they glided about among the guests for half an hour with occasional intermissions. His example was soon followed by the wo? man in whose honor the dinner was given. Making allowance for any awkwardness in his situation, she ask? ed the man of the team to dance with her, and of course she did. Some of the women guests thought it time to leave, and the party did break up shortly afterward. The si gt of a wool? ly head outlined against the host's white shirt and the large brown hand clasping his guest's waist was too much for most of the'party. The host was Bobby Hargous. The guest of honor was Mrs. Arthur Paget of England, formerly Miss Stevens, daughter of Mrs. Paran Stevens, of early Smart' ?et fame in metropolitan society. Some of the others present were Mrs. George B. De Forest, sister to the brilliant Bobby, Mrs. George Law, Mrs. William Jay; Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Oakley Rhinelander, Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Jr-but why dazzle more than is absolutely necessary? It was a gilded company ; nay, it was a diamond-spat? tered gathering. It was the limit. The dancing coons made that anyway. - - ? > ^mm^--;-I New Springfield Rifle. The United States magazine gun board, which has been conducting a series of tests at the Springfield arsenal to determine whether the new Springfield rifle is the best weapon with which to equip the army, com? pleted a portion of its labors today, and will now go to the Sandy Hook proving grounds to continue the in? vestigations. The board will then visit prominent 1 military posts throughout the United States, where the new gun will be given practical tests by army marks? men. Although the tests have been con? ducted privately, the expressions of approval of the weapon by members of the board are taken to indicate that its adoption will be recommended to the war department. The present ann\ in use is the Krag-Jorgensen. Com? petent critics assert that so many marked improvements have been made ever it that the new Springfield rifle is its superior in every respect. The new gun differs in material re? spects from the Krag and Mauser. It has a rod in place of a knife bayonet, an open sight and three lugs instead of one. Its initial velocity is 2,300 feet, carries a steel-jacketed bullet and will j i fire 500 rounds without cleaning. President Roosevelt has prepared to I "swing the circle" ona magnificent scale/ He will leave Washington April it going direct to Chicago. Several days will be spent in Yellowstone Park, and the President will attend the St. Louis Exposition dedication exercises on April 30. He will then again start West, touching New Mexi? co and Arizona on the way to the Pacific coast. The Northern route will be taken on the return trip,., and Washington will be reached June 5. There will be speech-making through? out the trip. President Roosevelt invited Capt. Seth Bullock and his wife to the musicale at the White House. Capt. Seth was the first sheriff of Dedwood and has a record for eliminating many bad men from his community by the simple expedient of shooting "them. He is an old friend of the President. After the musicale the President said : "Well, Seth, how did you like the music?" "It was too far up the gulch for me," Seth replied, in the ver? nacular of the West that de-light-ed the President. "Next time you come," said the President to Mrs. Bullock, ''you'd better take Seth's gun away from him, so he won't snoot a fiddler.'"' What's in a Name?

Race Prejudice is Not Confined to the Southern People But is World Wide. Washington, March IS.-The race question was again discussed in the senate today. Mr. Money of Mississip? pi spoke for two hours, his remarks having direct reference to the action of the president in closing the In dianola, Miss., postoffice. Mr. Money explained at the outset of his remarks that if he could secure unanimous consent for leave to print he would not take up the time of the senate. The sentiment of the senate seemed to be that remarks not delivered should not be spread in the recrord. He thereupon proceeded, and delivered himself of some severe strictures of the president, stating in the course of his remarks that Mr. Roosevelt was not the president of America, but the president of the "black belt." At times he was closely interrogated by Messrs. Foraker and Spooner. It was the inherent and constitu? tional right of a great community,' said Mr. Money, to have their mail handled regularly. Letters, he said, which have been addres.sed to Heath? man, to important county officials re? siding at Indianola, have been sent to Greenville, and this he declared was an unwarrantable interference with the liberty a.nd rights of the people of Indianola. lt was indeed to punish the people of Indianola,. and in his opinion, the punishment had gone far enough. The department has shown to the world its authority and nobody had disputed it. He declared that the postmaster general should do all he could to heal the breach and not continue stubborn and vindictive. "The department has made the people hate the administration." Directing his remarks to President Roosevelt, he said that in the south it was believed tha? Mr. Roosevelt, when he succeeded Mr. McKinley, would make an American instead of a sec? tional president, but a change had come over this dream. "He is not so much an American president," said Mr. Money, "as he is the president of the black belt," and he added with some feeling, "we don't consider him a great American president." He de? clared that of all the appointments made in Mississippi none haye given such general disgust as those made by this administration and, he said, he president had raised the question of social equality of the nergo, but there could never possibly be any social equality between the two races. "There is a race prejudice in the south," he said, "andi thank God that there is." The prejudice against the negro, he asserted, is not local, but prompted by a universal, world-wide sentiment. Answering Mr. Foraker, he said that these recent appointments have re? vived the race question and while the people of the south had heretofore tolerated negro officeholders they did not want any more of them. "This is a white man's country and a white man's government," said he. "It has been carved out of the wilderness and coquered from the Indians, not for the Africa, hut for the white man." Mr. Foraker asked Mr. Money if his objection to colored people holding office extended to all offices of all kind, and also whether it would include the enlistment of colored men in the army to defend the flag and the constitu? tion. The reply was that he had no particular objection to colored men serving in the army but declared that it would be better if no colored men held any official position whatever. "Would you decitizenize the negro as to voting" asked Mr. - Foraker, "and if so should that he taken into account in fixing the representation in congress?" "That is another question, " said Mr. Money. The participation of the negro in the affairs of the govern? ment, he thought, was dangerous. "Is it the demand of the south/' inquired Mr. Spooner, "that the president of the United States in no case appoint a colored man to federal office in the south?" Mr. Money replied that there was no demand made and no authority for it, but it was the feeling in the south that no colored man, no matter what his qualifications may be, shall hold federal office. The whole truth of his? tory, he declared, shows the utter in? competence of the colored race for self government. Mr. Spooner remarked that a presi? dent of the United States who would yield to the demand of any section that the right of citizenship should be surrendered would show himself unfit to hold the office and quite willing to violate his oath as president. Mr. Foraker commented upon Mr. Money's statements as being most re? markable because of their far-reach? ing consequences. Mr. Money expressed the conviction that the amendment to the constitu? tion which made negroes voters was a tremendous mistake, and he said a vast number of people of the north en? tertained the same view. He said there has been no objection in the south to a colored man working and none had been killed for so doing as was the csae in Illinois. The feeling which obtained in the south, he said, was that if a white man did not think himself socially better than the negro he was not half as good. In the matter of these appoint? ments, Mr. Money said the president should consider conditions in the south. Appointing negroes to office in the south was most obnoxious and repugnant to that section. It was im? possible, he. declared, for any ono raised north of Mason and Dixons' line to know anything about tho negro. He concluded by saying that j there had been no intention of creat? ing any disturbance whatever in In- ! dianloa, but the idea of holding al public meeting was that it would ap- j prise the postmistress of the wishes of the citizens and that it might lead to her resignation. The basis of all the trouble, he said, was the referee sys- j tem as it prevails in the south. CUBAN TREATY RATIFIED. But it Must Be Ratified by the House. Senator Bacon Succeeds in Amending the Treaty So as to Put Coarse Cotton Goods, Manufactured Chiefly by Southern Mills, on the Same Footing as the Fine Cotton Goods Manufactured in New England. I Washington, March 19.-After form i ally approving the Bacon amendment, providing that the treaty shall not j become effective nntil approved by the Congress, and after adopting also another amendment introduced by Sen? ator Bacon, which materially affects one of the South's greatest industries, the Senate this afternoon ratified the Cuban reciprocity treaty. As to final ratification, there never has been a doubt since the committee of foreign affairs, upon the insistence of the Democrats, accepted the first mentioned amendment. There was I some doubt for a short while today, however, whether there would be " . quorum of the senate present, so many Republicans having left the city, but there were many more than enough Senators . present on the final round? up, the treatv being ratified by the vote of 50 to 16. Of chi?f importance to the South today was the acceptance by the com? mittee, and the adoption by the Sen? ate, of an amendment which Senator Bacon had been quietly pressing. This gives to the coarser grades of cotton fabrics, which are made principally in the Southern States, the same per? centage of advantage which is given the finer grades of New England manufac? ture. In the original treaty there was a 5 per cent discrimination against the coarser grades, as compared with the finer grades. The finer grades im? ported into' Cuba were to be accorded a 30 per cent reduction of the duties in the. general Tariff Act of Cuba, while the coarser grades were to be given but a 25 per cent reduction. Senator Bacon and other Southern Senators construed this an an uncalled for advantage given the finer grades of New England mills, but some of the New England Senators seemed to think this was all right. Senator Bacon insisted, however, and as his contention was backed by other Southerners, who stood with him, the committee finaly accepted his amend? ment, and it was incorporated into the treaty, This puts all grades of cotton fabrics on a plane of equality. j Washington, March 19.-After rat? ifying the Cuban reciprocity treaty |;he Senate adjourned sine die today at j 15 minutes past 5 o'clock. Practical . ly the entire day was spent behind closed doors in executive session. Most of the time was devoted to considera? tion of the Cuban treaty. Several speeches were made in opposition to the treaty and one in favor of it, and, then, promptly at the agreed hour, 3 o'clock, voting began. Roll-calls were had on a number of amendments and the treaty itself was made the sub? ject of a yea and nay vote. The mo? tion to ratify was dopted by a ballot of 50 to 16, somewhat more than than a three-fourths vote, whereas only a two-thirds vote was necessary to secure a ratification. The detailed vote fol? lows : Yeas-Aldrich, Alger, Ailee, Al? lison, Ankeny, Bacon, Ball, Beveridge, Blackburn, Burnham, Burrows, Bur? ton, Clark of Wyoming, Cockrell, j Cullom, Depew, Dietrich, Dolliver, j Dryden, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Foster of Washington, Frye, Fulton, Gallinger, Gamble, Gorman, Hanna, Hansbrough, Heyburn, Hopkins, Kean, Ltiroer, Lodge, Long, McComas, McCreary, McCumber, Nelson, Over? man, Penrose, Perkins, Simmons, Smoot, Spooner, Stewart, Stone, War? ren, Wetmore-50.

In making the pairs two senators were paired for the treaty with one against it. The pair list was as fol? lows: Kerns and Hale with Gibson: Millard and Proctor with Clark of Arkanas ; Scott and Quay with Mc Laurin : Dillingham and Clapp with Tillman ; Kittredge and Platt of New York with Patterson; Platt of Con? necticut and Hawley with Teller; Mit? chell and Clay with Dubois; Quarles with Culberso'n. Senator Hoar was absent and unpaired. Romance of the Son of Cuba's President. New York, March 19.-It was learn? ed today that Jose Estrada Palma, a son of Tomas Estrvada Palma, president of the Cuban republic, and Miss Mabel Jacobs, a student at the Normal col? lege and daughter of David B. Jacobs, a wealthy tobacco importer, were privately married here on Feb. H. The young couple had been acquainted about a year. On the afternoon of Feb. ll they went, accompaniea by Miss Jacobs' sister, to the parsonage of the New York Presbyterian church in Harlem, where they were married by the Rev. Duncan McMillan, after which the bride returned to her father's home. Fear of parental op? position appears to have been the cause of the secrecy of the marriage. Young Estrada Palma is a student at Colum? bia university. Mr. Jacobs said to? night that his daughter positively denied that she was married to young Estrada Palma. A Remarkable Case. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the bing?, causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner. Marion. Ind., who was entirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says : The coughing and straining so weakened me that I run down in weight from 14s to ;?._' pounds. 1 tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bot? tles of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength." J. S. Hugh son <fc Co. CHI ASKED TQ JOIN. Senator McEnery Offers Amendment to Treaty Inviting Her to Enter Union. RATIFICATION HAS BEEN DELAYED. Opposition on Ground That Treaty is Injurious to Our Sugar Inter ests. Washington, March 18.-Before ad? journing at 7 o'clock tonight the sen? ate entered into a unanimous agree? ment to vote upon the Cuban reciproc? ity treaty at 3 o'clock tomorrow. The hope of securing a vote toady was dis? sipated by the discovery that there were more speeches to be made in op? position to the treaty than had been counted upon. Indeed, it was difficult to secure an agreement to vote even tomorrow and it was evident that this result could not have been accomplish? ed but for the adjournment of the ses? sion. When the Cuban treaty was laid be? fore the senate Mr. McEnery took the floor and made a speceh of something more than two hours in opposition to it. He contended that the treaty is in the interest of the sugar trust and said that its ratification would be a direct blow at the sugar interests of the United States. The present tariff had. Mr. McEonery said, great? ly stimulated the sugar" industry of this country and he predicted that if it should be permitted to continue in force the time would come when the United States would not only produce sugar to supply its own wants, but that it would export the American product. Speaking of the effect upon his own State of Louisiana, Mr. McEnery said that pracically the entire population would be affected by the approval of the treaty. When Senator McEnery concluded Senator Newlands took the floor. As a part of his address he presented the following amendment : "The republic of the United States, recognizing the intimate relationship between the republic of Cuba and itself, and being desirous of still fur? ther promoting freedom of trade and commercial union, of strength by the bonds of amity and friendship be? tween the people of two countries, cor? dially invites the republic of Cuba to become a State of the union under the constitution and laws of the Unit? ed States." In support of this amendment Mr. Newlands said that the Democratic party should stand for traditional ex? pansion of the republic by promoting the voluntary annexation of Cuba through the free expression of her peo? ple and it should emphasize this posi j tion at this time by resolutions to that ; effect. He contended that the theory of reciprocity is wrong in principle because it leads to favoritism both in our delaings with nations and among j our own people. I Senator Spooner replied briefly to j Senator Newlands and sharply criti? cised his policy of annexation. He said thate under the Teller resolution the political independence of the Cu? bans had been guaranteed and that under that pledge this country . could take no step looking to any other re? sult. Senator Newlands challenged several of Mr. Spooner's statements and the two engaged for a time in a spirited controversy. In this Senatorccs Teller and Nelson participated, both attack? ing the treaty, and the latter replying pointedly to Mr. Spooner. Senator Cullom made an effort to secure an agreement to fix a time for a vote. Senator Gorman said that he had no objection, but Senators Carmack and Bailey both declared that they were then unprepared to name an hour for taking a ballot on the treaty. In the course of a speech explaining ' his objection to fixing a time for tak ; ing a vote, Senator Bailey criticised the treaty from a constitutional point of view, saying that a provision for the concurrence of the house was not sufficient as it was " requisite that in all matters pertaining to the revenue the house should take the initiative. During the day Sentaor Nelson offer? ed an amendment placing flour import? ed into Cuba in the 40 per cent, reduc? tion schedule, and Senator McEnery an amendment striking out the article of the treaty providing against any re duction on American tobaccos import? ed into Cuba. The senate adjourned until tomor? row. The number of land tenants in Ire? land is estimated at 350,000, and the rents paid by them annually aggregate from 825,000,000 to $40,000,000. In the arrangement for the sale of the land to the peasantry agreed upon between the Duke of Abercorn, Lord Dunraven and others, representing the Irish landlords, and John Redmond and other Nationalist leaders, representing the Irish tenant farmers, this rent was assumed to represent 4 per cent, on the investment, thus making the latter from 8625,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. The plan of settlement agree upon pro? vides that the Government shall buy the land from its present owners, giv? ing them in payment bonds which will produce the same revenues that they are now receiving in the way of rents. The tenants are then to be? come the owners of the land, reimburs? ing the Government by paying instal? ments in the form of a reduced rent for a period of fifty years or more. A revolution which is characterized by the United States Consul as being of alarming proportions has broken out in Uruguay. He has cabled the State Department that S,000 rebels surround Montevideo and are preparing to take the city. Bickens, March 19.-The case against George W. Latham, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill his cousin, J. R. Latham, went to the jury at c> o'clock last evening. The jury stayed out all night and at 5 o'clock this morning a slumbering populace was aroused by the court crier announing that a verdict had been agreed upon and calling all parties interested into court. The ver? dict was aggravated assault and battery and is generally regarded as a very pro? per one under the evidence. The judge imposed a fine of $*200, which was paid.
