ESTABLISHED 1892 FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13; 1901 DAILY EDITION TO VOTE MONDAY ON RATIFICATION OF NEW TREATY. WARM DEBATE IN SENATE ON THE MERITS OF THE CONVENTION. In If \\i (Ui E'l S*' WASHINGTON, December 12.���The sen- ' ate agred today to take a. vote before adjournment next Monday on the new Hay- Pauncefote treaty for the abrogation of tho Clayton-ltulwer treaty and opening the ' way for thc construction of a canal across the isthmus of Panama by the United Statcs.This agreement was reached after four hours debate, sufficiently interesting to secure the constant attendance of most of the senators. Senator Spooner, who was one of the principal speakers of the day had just concluded when senator Lodge attempted to secure a vote. It developed that there were other senators who desired to be heard, the .esult being that the date for the vote was postponed until Monday. Thc agrement provides for an adjournment of the .senate from today until Monday and for a meeting at 1 o'clock on Monday, one hour In advance of tlio -.1 -iial time. The understanding is that as soon as practicable after the senate convenes, senator Lodge shall move an executive session and that thc treaty shall havo thc entire attention of tho'senate until-a final voto is reached before the adjournment for that day. The principal speakers today beside senator Spooner and senator Money and senator Foraker. Mr. Monoy. while finding much dn the ( treaty to criticize, said that as lieTound that the fortunes of tne proposed canal across the isthmus were inextricably intertwined with the treaty, he could not see his way clear lo do anything that would prevent or even delay ratification. Thc principal features of the now treaty that he found fault with were those referring to the neutrality provision of the Clayton-Bulwer convention and specifying police control of the canal whon built. He argued that the effect of those provision.- inevitably mi>>-t be t? limit and prescribe the power of tho United States to\"control its own property in case of war. Senn tor Foraker maintained that the .provisions of thc new treaty met every objection, made \"to the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty and cover every essential thing thai was included in the amendment made by the senate to that document. He regarded- it as of the utmost Importance that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should be wiped out. This result was affected by thc convention under consideration. He asserted that all rights of the United States were amply protected under this treaty and that our absolute and complete control of the eanal could not be questioned by Great Britain or any ol,her power. Mr. Foraker's speech dealt largely with the legal construction and the general effect of the treaty. He said that aftor a careful study of its provisions he was firmly convinced that it could bo honestly supported by every patriotic citizen. Senator Fora'ker was frequently interrupted by senator Bacon. Jn the course of one of these interruptions--Mr. Bacon =asked=if=lt���was*=not���true=that���under=the= terms of the treaty the construction of the fortifications of the United States would be an act of war. , Mr. Foraker replied in the negative, declaring that not only would such an act not be an act of hostility, but that to build fortifications in case of necessity was one of the inherent rights of the government. To this Mr. ��� Bacon replied that ho, for one, would never bring himself to vote for iho ratification of the treaty with the 'understanding* that this government was to violate It. Mr, Foraker retorted sharply tliat his friend from Georgia could be no more virtuous along the lino of maintaining the country's honor in the matter of keeping his agreement., with other nations than wore olher senators. \" Mr. Bacon replied that he had not meant to assume virtue that he did not possess, nor to Imply that others were not as jealous of the country's good name as he himself was. Mr. Foraker then declared that he had not meant to charge Mr. Foraker with an unfair assumption, but merely to say that like all. oilier nations supporting a treaty, ho felt he was giving his name to a transaction which would be honorably carried out as between nations. Senator Spooner, who followed, also was frequently interrupted by senators on the Democratic side. One ot tne first interruptions came from senator Bacon and pertained to the right to fortify the canal. P.eplylng to this Inquiry, Mr. Spooner said that it was a well known principle of international law that all treaties, like all statutes, must be read together and he' contended in this connection that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,, the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty and the pending agreement for the proper construction of the agreement should be considered as one series. The Clayton-Bulwer agrement had. provided that there should ho no fortifications of the canal and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of the 5Gth congress had carried a similar provision, but thc new treaty- struck out the entire fortification provision, clearly showing that England, after contending for half a century-against fortifications had waived that provision, thus practically conceding our right to fortify the '-proposed canal. A very important question was raised by a number of senators on the Democratic side as to the right of thc United Slates to give a differential rate to vessels engaged In our coastwise trade. the Republican side ot the chamber into the cimtro.orsy. Senators Perkins and Nelson are among those who contributed lo this feature of tho controversy. Senator Kelson insisted that under the existing law ihu United States would have a perfect right to give to the coastwise trade of this country any benefit it might see proper In use of the canal. It was perfectly well understood, ho said, tliat thc ships of a foreign nation would not do a .���oastwlse business and Great Britain had made the Ireaty with a full knowledge of this fact. Senator Perkins made the assertion that by the acquisition or control of a strip of territory through which the canal would puss, the United States would acquire rii;ht.'i whicli would subject that territory to our coastwise laws, and said for- e:��-n bottoms could not trade between ports of tho United Slates and-any portion of the territory through which the canal was built.

One Jap had bis legs amputated as the result of exposure. MORGAN'S CANAL REPORT Scores Panama Company. WASHINGTON, December 12��� Senator Morgan's report covers more than 5U0 pages of printed matter and deals with many question.-* in connection with the construction of tlie mial, including a thorough inquiry -into the attitudu of Great Britain upon the ���subject of the different canal routes. Tie also discusses the relationship of the Panama Canal Company to the construction by the United States of a waterway across the isthmus, and while he makes reference to a letter written by president Hutin of the Panama Company to socrotary of stale Hay, he does not give the text of thc eommunication.~Mr. Morgan ^ays that the letter addressed to secretary Hay was dated November 22nd last, and that it was written alter admiral Walker, as president of the commission, had closed his correspondence with Mr. Hutin relating to* the sale of the Panama canal. He then adds: \"The letter to Mr. Hay with- the appendix there otand the memorandum fiat accompanies it Is an attack on the president of the commission replete with false a?umptions and perversions of fact, .nd is evidently intended to create an issue, the debate on wliich, it is hoped' by Mr. Hulin, will delay if it does nol defeat thc final a>_Uon of congress in providing for the construction of une canal. This proceeding and the placing of this corospon- dencc in tho hands of the president of thc United States by Mr. Hulin with a request that it be communicated to congress is but a continuation of the presumptuous and offensive proposition previously made by 'he Panama Can 'il Company. .This company, \" in a^ previous administration, had succeeded in obtaining the resignation of a secretary of the navy to accept a nominal position in their service at a large salary and expended $1,500,000 in New York chiefly in acquiring the aid of loading business houses in promoting the De Lessep's plan without a do'lar of stock being subscribed in that eity. The desperate financial straits of the New Panma Canal Company compelled them to make overtures to thc United States to unload their enterprise on tho United States and their agonts became accordingly aggressive in this effort.'\" Dredging a Channel. During the low stage of wator the tugs used bv the C. P. R. in towing barges from iviotenay Landing to Procter and Nelson are unable to reach the slip at the Landing, and a small tug has to be used i-o tow Ui3 barges to deep water. This caused delays, and the company decided to dredge, the channel so that tho deep wator tugs could get to the slips at all seasons. The*\"work is being done by he Crow's Nest division, the Nelson division leaning the\" barge. An ordinary steam shovel is used for the dredger, the arm being lengthened The channel to be (fredged will be 500 fpet long by 50 feet wide, and a month or more wiM be '���equired to do the work. Developing the New Route NEW VOKK, December 12.���Another important step has b2en taKen in developing the now route to Ireland authorized by parliament which may at no distant day provide the quickest route for mails and passengers etween London and New York, says a London dispatch to the Tribune, The contract for the erection of a pier 1000 feet Jong at Rosslnre near Wexford has been closed. This pier is a poition of the scheme in whicli thc Great Southern of Ireland js concerned. A last lino of steamers is to run betwen Fishguard on the' Welsh coast and Rosslare, and the idea ���s seriously entertained in certain quarters that this is to be the American mail route of the future. WEABY CYCLERS HALF-DAZED, COLLISIONS ARE NUMEROUS. FISHER AND CHEVALIER COM- ��� PLETELY KNOCKED OUT. MEACHRAN QUITS. Bonus By-Laws Carry. GRAND FORKS, December 12���The rale- payers today adopted two by-laws granting aid to the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern and Republic & Grand Forks railways, respectively. A light vote was polled. The voto on the Victoria, Vancouver & Fastern by-law stood 130 for and 52 against. In return for a municipal grant of $7500 the railway company agrees;\"to' locate its =liasseiiger=and=freiglit=station=at^the_,inter--^ section *o'f the corporation limits of Grand roFks and Columbia. The other by-laws provide for a bonus of $3500 cash to the Republic & Grand Forks railway, in consideration for which the railway company has agred to locate its terminal, depot grounds, and round-house on the Ruckle addition to Grand Forks. The vote stood 1?7 for and 4S against. Both by-laws required a three-fifths vote. The ratepayers of the city of Columbia also adopted a bonus by-low granflng $7500 in aid of tho Victoria, Vancouver & Kastern railway, to nid in tlie acquisition of the'-lands\"required for the proposed depot at the intersection of Columbia nnd Grand Forks. The vote stood 50 for and 1 against. - Trying to Make Converts. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ueccmbcr 12.���Th3 latest information regarding Miss Ellen M.

Tt appears that the brigands are now complaining that Miss' Stone is trying to convert them to Chris- tianitv. Recognizing the illegality of the abduction of Miss Stone and her companion the brigands contend that their^actiou was in the interest of a sacred cause and therefore justifiable. SLOGAN MINING MATTERS Collector Milne Reversed. VTCTORI A, December it.���The minister of customs has reversed the decision of collector Milne in the matter of the plans for the New Westminister and roint Ellice bridges which were seized for duty here. The collector wanted to collect 20 per cent on 2 1-2 per cent of the estimated cost .of the work for which the plans were to be sued. This made the duty on. the plans for the New Wcsminister bridge $4G0. The minister rules that duty shall only be collected on the actual cost of producing the plans. Tinder this ruling the duty will not amount to a very large amount Coast Local News. - VANCOUVER, December 12.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Hon. W. and this morning. They were met here by H. Johns, manager of the Montreal'& Boston Copper Company's Sunset mine. Asked as to the truth of the statement that he had agred to ship a minimum of two hundred tons of ore daily to the Granby smelter, Johns replied that he had commenced loading cars yesterday, but as he cannot as yet get sufficient dump railway cars, only 60 to 100 tons dally will be shipped, but will inciease the shipments after additional furnaces are blown in at the smelter. The large hoist for the Sunset is expected to arrive shortly. After It is Installed he will be able to handle a larger output of ore at the mine. From Mr.��� Hodges it was ascertained that the new- plant lit the Granby smelter was expected to be in operation about the 1st of February. W. H.

The negro problem'in tha south, as far as lt related to unionism, was' unexpectedly injected into the proceedings , and the long standing conflict betwen the socialists and trade unionists promised to monopolize the attention of the delegates had the 'socialists replied to the trade unionists. The question of organizing common, laborers into a national union ard the calling out of unions of all organizations allied with the citj', state, national, or international unions if they refuse to affiliate with the American Federation, of Labor were also vigorously debated. Thc socialist Incident came 'up in'the morning session during trie discussion of a. committee report indorsing most of; the recommendations contained' in Mr. Gom- per's annual report. D. H. Hays of Phila-_ delphia, president of the Glass Blowers, and Max Hays of the' Cleveland Central Labor Union, the well known socialist, made speeches strongly urging the enforcement of laws prohibiting child labor. The latter, during his remarks, read a list ot decisions rendered by federal and state courts against organized^ labor. A motion . to-have the list printed \"brought president Gompers, who was hot ln the chair at'the j time, to his feet and the delegates were treated to a ' three minute _ passionate speech. He said it was unfair to incorporate the list In the minutes in that way '__ and suggested' that a list of trade union _ , victories should be printed along with It. Tie concluded by denouncing the \"attempt' to show that trade unionism.is a failure.\" and characterized it as an outrage. A wave nf applauce swept .over the. convention as Mr. Gompers took his scat. The motion , was defeated and the recommendations of the president were adorned except the one referring to a general defense fund The committee's suggestion that the fund be raised by national and labor unlons'ln-, ' stead of by\"'the 'American' Federation < of .��� Labor was adopted: The negro question came up on a resolution compelling all local unions affiliated with theL federation to join the central lobor bodies in their respective localities. AVilliam Henry Clay, ono of the two colored delegates from Virginia, made the point that the federation last week In deciding a - contested seat where the color line was brought Into the question, had authorized the creation of a separate central union In Richmond for colored workmen. The reso- liition was debated for more than an hour by many delegates and was defeated. .' i*!

The offer of these bonds Is embarrassing to the administration, owing to complications which might arise if the government acDepted them, and the piesident, it is understood, is now in correspondence with Mr. Carnegie about the matter.

It Is understood that the work will be begun in the spring. The lino will cross a hitherto undeveloped part of Maine. Spain's Revolutionary Condition. CADIZ, December 12.���This city was in a state of revolution practically all night long. Riotous mobs, led by striking bakers, armed with knives and bludgeons, pillaged stores, attacked people in the streets, injured a number of persons, threw tho town into a state of. panic and made the night hideous with shouts of \"Long Live the Social Revolution\" and \"Down with tho bourgooise.\" The police were powerless to quell the disturbance. ber 15th to express approval of thp action of the government in dealing with the Argentine question. Even this, apparently, is merely an offset to another meeting, promoted by tho advocates of peace at any price. The buying of ships to take the place of vessels of questionable efficiency, the mobilization of the fleet for maneuvering, the strengthening of relations -with friendly neighbors. Ecuador and Colombia, are not regarded here as signs of aggressive Intentions on Chill's part, but only as natural nreviaiLiO'T* evjked by the uncxj.eclPd'.y threatened demeanor of Argentina.\" No New Cardinals for America.

The Slocan has no less than fifty shipping mines, a record not equalled by any other mining district of.the same area in America. None of the fifty produce gold ore; all are silver-lead mines.

Tho West Kootenay Power & Light Company know that thoy cannot maintain their present prices In Rossland when Nelson shows the people of that city the difference in prices between, civic and private owned lighting systems. The prices in Rossland would have to bo reduced, or Uie people of that city would undertake to install a lighting plant of their own, the profits ot which would go to themselves. The management of Uie West Kootenay Power & Light A Political Gymnast. Our evening contemporary reminds us of what once was said about a certain small insect: When you put your finger on where he is, he isn't thero. The Colonist pointed out that $210,000 had been saved to tho province. The Times replied that the Great Northern, not having got the subsidy for' the thirty miles on tho eastern ond of Us proposed line was building a short line- to tap the rich mlnct of the iirovlnce and divert trafiic to its main lino in the United States. Tho Colonist answered that the lino would have been built any way, and added that under these circumstances its position in regard to the eastern thirty miles was strengthened. Now it tells us that we held up the Great- Northern- to-scorn~i'or-bulldlng���\".V\" short link from its main line to Grand Forks and diverting the trade of the province to tho United States.\" This is the latest Great Northern hold-up and we plead not guilty. Tt was our dearly-beloved neighbor which drew attention to this deeply interesting fact. We have a friendly word for our gymnastic neighbor, and it is that It ought not unduly to agitato itself by seeing how far It can jump between issues. There are yet many days hefore Polling Day, and it Is likely to strain Itself, or become \"stale,\" to use the language of the prize ring. Wc suggest that it might with advantage relapse Into Its regular work of contradicting what llio Colonist says.���Victoria Colonist. Wants Men of More Nerve. V.. V.

We know he is a smart lawyer, but if he Is accepted as the leader of a parly and continues the personal political program of the past few years he will be or no more use to the province than tlie others. There aro things to the province more important than the downing of \"Joe\" Martin. \"Joe\" might be all his enemies claim him yet thnt is no reason why policy and everything else should be thrown to the winds '\"cause he approves of it. Surely there cannot he anything so sinister or terrifying in that. Tt makes one tired to son representatives who have so little confidence in one another's integrity that the movement of one man. has the power to scatter Ihem like a flock of frightened sheop. yet there Is not one of them who will admit thnt he fears \"Joe.\" Tf \"Joe\" ought to go then tho rest of the outfit ought to go also, for when representatives so distrust one another that they dare not stand pat because they fear thoir fellows will be cajoled and befooled into some nefarious scheme which although it may stand a close inspection still coming from the source it does might go off. then the sooner the province wipes the slate and elects a little nerve the better for all concerned.��� Trout Lake Topic.

He was introduced to tho court by W. H. H. -Miller, who was attorney-general in president fl'irison's cabinet, and later a law partner of his chief. Colonel Harrison will at once enter the iirm. He explained his reason for the move in these words: \"T have long intended to take up the practice of law, and my Intention was hastened by my'father's dying wish that I should carry on tho light he had begun to force justice in mv case from the war department. To take up the case properly it was neevssary that I should have a thorough understanding of law, and for somo time T have devoted myself to study. For the last eight months this has taken all my time.\" Whon colonel Harrison was appointed to the staff general Fitzhugh Leo, at Jacksonville, in 1S.S. many persons considered his appointment an instance of favoritism. But. he displayed from the first the qualities \"of a good soldier, and, when he was made provost marshal ur the Seventh Army Corps, performed his arduous and delicate duties in a manner that won the highest praise of his superiors. The 30,000 men subject to his authority found that he was 'lot to be trifled with, and the.corps soon settled into order. His method of sobering men who had been found drunk is \"still remembered with awe by the soldiers. He had a huge shower hath built, and the refractory man was held under the stream of cold water until the effect of the liquor had worn off and he promised to be \"good.\" Colonel Harrison was later appointed inspector general of Porto Rico, and in that capacity also displayed excellent judgment. He sr-cmed to have good prospects for earning rapid advancement as an officer. Both ho and his friends wereamazed, therefore, when he was notified in November, 1990, that he had been \"honorably- discharged\" from the army. As he had made no request to be relieved of his uniform, this order was tantamount tp a dismissal. Angry criticism followed. It was recalled that ex-president Harrison.had declined to stump for the administration in the campaign just then closed on account of his strong views against expansion, and it was charged that the dismissal of colonel Harrison was because 'of this. Adjutant general Corbin denied that there was any personal feeling or malice in the matter, and said the \"honorable discharge\" ,had been ordered simply because the colonel's \"services were \"no longer required.\" But the Harrisons and their friends were never satisfied, and havo always maintained that the name, which had been illustrious in war since the revolution, had suffered aspersion. , The ex-president did not conceal his chagrin, and was determined that justice should be done. So colonel Karri, on has the desire of his father to strengthen \"his own determination to get what ho considers his rights. to to to to to to to ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK WE WILL SELL THE BALANCE OF OUR STOCK OF LADIES' MANTLES AND COSTUMES AND CHILDREN'S COATS AT HALF PRICE $ to to WE WILL-.ALSO SHOW EXCEPTIONAL BARGAINS IN LADIES' FLANELETTE-WEAR 7I\\ to GOODS AND PRICES TO SUIT ALL to ' to to to to to to to to 'ii!iK OF Front and HaU streets, Nelson; wholesale grocers and jobbers .In blankets, gloves, mitts, boots, rubbers, tnacklnaws and miners' sundries.

Tt was under the terms of this act that the Thames Minei'.-' Union applied io the court in respect of various grievances. Their two chief. requirements wero snorter hours and the establishment of a minimum wage on a higher\" scale. ������>��� The evidence extended over some weeks, and the court was fully convinced that any considerable increase in ^working expenses would result: disastrously to the industry, and consequently cause loss to the miners making the application. As regards hours of work, surface laborers remain unaltered by.'- the award, but with regard to underground miners in wot shafts and hot or grassy places it is provided that only six-hour shifts shall be worked; tho men, therefore, do not obtain much advantage under the award with reference.to the legal length of timo during which work may be continued.

M, LAY, Manager, sertion of the principle of a minimum wage, although the; scale of charges is very much less than, they demanded, and not very greatly in excess of the existing rates. Other ^noticeable features of the ��� ���judgment'** are the\" provisions that where work is let by. contract the same rate shall be observed by the contractor, and that subject to tin. rules of the union allowing miners to enter the society merely by tho payment of the regulation fee, that employers shall employ members of lhe union in preference to non-union members. The employer of labor is thus very prejudicially affected; he practically cannot go outside the union for his labor, and he is in no way able to control the activity of. tho individual, as. the uniform rate of wages secures to the most idle and incompetent miner as a matter of right the same remuneration1 as his most active and skilful co-worker. In this way. the control essential to the successful management of any business is entirely destroyed and industry placed at the mercy of .its employees.

There was a warm time at Waneta the other day when a prospector named Gardiner was charged with using abusive language to Taylor, the agent of the Nelson <& Fort Sheppard railway at that place. Gardiner is developing some prospects on the Pond d'Oreille on the American side of the line. He found it most convenient to purchase his supplies from Fred Adie, the store keeper at that point. This matter was called to the attention of the customs officer.nt Northport and Gardiner accused Taylor of having interfered in his business matters. He told Taylor what he thought of him in language more forcible than polite, with the result that Taylor had him charged with using abusive language. As Adie, the grocer, is the only justice of the peace in the vicinity the case came before him. Ho fined the accused tl and the verdict was received with every manifestation of public approval. James Flndley of Montreal, who superintended the construction of the C. P. R. bridge across the Columbia river at Roo- son, was in Nelson yesterday. The work is practlc?Uy finished.

Kokanee, which has been on the' v.-avs for over a month undergoing an overhauling, was slid into the water yesterday. She had over 200 feet to slide, and captain Gore was a trifle anxious as to thc result, i-wt muster ship ' builder Bulger did tho job up in style, and the Kokanee slid into the water ns prettily'as she did on the ���.lay when Mr. Bulger first launched her. She will be ready tti resume her run to S'aslo on Tuesday or Wednesday. It is reported that the London & British Columbia.\" Goldfields will make an experiment with the new process of oil concentration for the saving of values in the ore of the Enterprise mine on Ten-mile. The results attained with the present concentrating plant are said to be rather unsatisfactory as considerable of the values in the dry-ore escape. It-Is predicted for the process of oil concentration that the great; er part of the values that are lost in the water concentration can be saved by the former. _ ' ' .The performance of the Chimes.of Normandy by the members of the Nelson Operatic Soclet/ last evening was witnessed by a larger audience than that which greeted .'t on the opening night.

The plan for this evening opens at McDonald's fruit store at 10 -o'clock���andHn-view-of-the-success-which- tbe members of the society'have scored the sale of seats should be greater than lhat of either of the first two performances..' , Bill Feeney, who Is uetter known as \"Canada Bill,\" Is at present engaged in nutting a bridge over Sheep creek, at a point off the Yellowstone road some miles from Salnm. Bill has taken up some 000 acres of land In this neighborhood and lias interested 'the provincial government In the construction of a bridge over thc creek. This involves the construction of a structure for a width of 140 feet, with a d'.ieen truss spanning u width of 58 feot. The arrangements for the building of the bridge arc the best* that could be made, as Bill understand bridge building as well as anyone. He has a steel cable rigged up for the moving .of his* timbers across-the. river and in-every way the work is going ahead as methodically as if lt was in charge of a government enginer. The.Fee- ney land Is about eight miles from the town of Salmo and Bill nas prepared quarters for the, housing of his family in comfort.' It is the intention of Feeney to put the land In timothy and in connection with this he will raise considerable stocK. W. A. McLean has returned from Waneta,. where he was engaged In'the superintendence of the construction of the cut-off to the Bunker Hill property on the Pend d'Oreille. The cut-off is three and-a half miles long and will greatly facilitate the moving of supplies to the proporty. '-AVork upon the Blinker- Hill Is shortly to be resumed and arrangements' are now' being made for the Installation of a new process for the treatment of the ore,, which' has been found to be in a measure refractory. In the meantime development work on the property is to be resumed and when the eleotrlcal-cyanlde process is Installed there will be considerable, ore reserves for treat- mnt. The ledge in the Bunker HH1 Is very wide, and as the ore has an indicated value of $10 per ton, there .will be good values In it if the new process proves satisfactory. All the values of the. Pend d'Oreille valley are not summed up In Its mining possibilities. ;It Is possessed of great possibilities in the way of ranching.
