THE SPANISH AMERICAN TREATY.
A Sharp Controversy Brewing i'm the
 Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The Senate Com be nearly equally divided on the Van Wyck resolution to discuss the Spanish treaty in open session. The chairman of the commit tee, MT. Miller of California, and Senators Sherman and Lapham favor open session, whilst Vice President Edmunds strongly opposes any deviation from the old plan of discussing treaties with closed doors and Senators Morgan and Pendleton side with him. Of the other members of the commit tee Senator Vance is absent and Senators Brown and Wilson are non-committal. The workingman of the committee is Senator Morgan and it is believed he favors letting the Spanish treaty wait and giving precedence to the Nicaraguan project. A leading idea with MT. Morgan is to make American di- plomacy felt in the countries of Europe. It was he Gncited thereto by ex-Belgian Min 1ster Sanford, the American member of the African International association, presided over by the King of the Belgians) who put through the Senate last session the resolu tion recognizing the sovereignty of the Afri- can association of the Congo region That  action was wide divergence from past tradl- tions of the government. Its immediate eff feet was to defeat the Anglo Portuguese treaty dividing the control of the Congo be- tween England and Portugal, and it was the direct cause of the present Berlin conference. NIT. Morgan, it is stated, desires to accept a similarly bold line of policy in regard to Mi caEagua and the annulment of the Clayton Bu1Wer treaty, and it is possible he may car ry the Committee on Foreign Relations with him. If so there will be lively times in the Senate and discussion too important to be snothered behind the closed doors of executive session. Meanwhile MT. Vests resolution ordering suspension< of Secretary Chandler's proposed survey of the canal route sleeps in the pigeonholes of the Foreign committee room and the surveying party is on its way to it's destination
 Another land forfeiture bill has been add ed to the list of those set down for discus sion in the Senate under special orders. This time it is the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Cbetter known as the tBackbone'D railroad, whose land grant it is proposed to forfeit. Twelve or fifteen years ago principality valued enough to build the road twice over was granted to the com pany out of the public domain, but the time in which the road was to have been built has long since lapsed and the road exists only on paper. With regard to this and other land grant forfeitures, however, there will probably be an ininity of talk and no final aafioD

APLENTIFUL ICE CROP.
Likely 10 Be The Best Ever Harvest

Likely To Re The Best Ever Harvested.
 PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y., Dec. 28.-This has been week of zero weather, and on one or two days the mercury fell below that point, in one instance to thirteen or fifteen below. This of course had noticeable effect upon the ice in the Hudson, and already prepara- tions are in progress for what promises to be one of the finest ice harvests had in years
 This morning the work of scraping the ice at all points between Hudson and Albany has commenced, and at various places in the vi | cinity of CastIetou, Schodack, SCuyvesant, Stockport and Coyemans ice cutting will be- gin next week. The ice at these points
 named is in magnificent condition, clear, black water ice, from seven to eight inches
 thick now, and that thickness viii he in- creased to n1ne or ten inches by Monday or
 Tuesday next. This is the situation between
 Hudson and Albany. South of the former
 place to Hyde Park the river is also solidly frozen and the scraping of the ice in front of the various icehouses between those points will begin next week.
 Bosses of icshouses are hiring men right 1 and left for the commencement of the great harvest, which will this year amount to over l three million tons, and the indications are 1 that it will be the finest ice ever housed on the Hudson When the work is in full blast l ten thousand men and boys, one hundred and | fifty steam engines and two thousand five l hundred horses will be employed in cutting, l polling, hoisting and storing the glistsn- | ing cakes. The men who work inside of 1 the houses storing away the cakes get
 $1.5O per day, and the men outside l $125 per day, while boys average from
 seventy-fve cents to $1 per day each. The
 large companies pay off with tickets which village storekeepers take for goods and these
 tickets are redeemed at stated intervals by
 the agents of the companies issuing them.
 It takes from thirty to forty days of constant
 work to house the ice crop of the Hudson,
 and it is thought that the bulk of it will be
 in the houses this year by the 9th or 10th of
 February. There was not much ice left over | 1sst year

Another Advf~Nr Who Has Fixed
 Thfns= Up Right.
 ALBANY, Dec 28.-Colonel Alexander Mc- Clure, of Philadelphia, left here yesterday after an interview with Governor Cleveland. Colonel Mcclure is understood to have ad- vised the President-elect against the policy of calling to his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury either Samuel J. Randall or James G. Carlisle, on account of the radical fnan- cial views entertained by those gentlemen. He did not believe it good judgment for the incoming Democratic administration to lean through cabinet appointments toward an ab- solute protection or free trade policy. Col onel Mcclure was also opposed to the desig- nation of Senator Garland to the important place of Attorney General. While in favor of some recognition to the South he would not consider it prudent to give go influential post as that of Attorney General to a rep TesentatiVe from that locality. The Presi- dent-elect is understood to have been consid- ersbly impressed with the arguments of Col onel Mcclure.

 EMIGRATION, N. Y, Dec. 28.-At ten min utes two yesterday afternoon the report of 6 terrific explosion shook the heart of the city. The second floor windows of the First Ma tional bank building were badly shattered and the volume of smoke pouring forth ere ated the widest alarm. An investigation revealed the fact that 8 yulcanizer in the rooms of the Albany Dental association over the bank had exploded while at a white heat, doing great damage. The furniture of the room and of the rooms adjoining was total wreck. The windows were blown out and the entire building was shaken to it's founda- tion. The rumor that an attempt had been made to blow up the bank vault was quickly contradicted. Dr. Hill, who was at work near the vulcanizer, was badly injured about the head and face. His injuries are not nec- essarily fatal. The top of the yulcanizer, made of iron and weighing 400 pounds, was blown to the ceiling and two persons sitting near narrowly escaped serious injury

SPRINGFIELD, O., Dec. 28.-Last night Mary Canney, young Irish girl but a few months in this country, appeared at the door of her uncle's house with two gashes in her throat, cut in the shape of cross, severing the windpipe aud just missing the jugular vein. Medical aid was hastily summoned and the girls wounds were dressed. She tells strange story. 'I was going up Lin den avenue,' she said, "when I noticed two young men walking behind. They followed me some distance, finally caught up with me, and attempted to force a conversation. One of them said, You have some money; give it to us.' They then caught hold of me, and while one of them held his hand over my mouth the other pulled a ring off my finger. felt something sharp pass across my throat and begged them not to kill me. At that both left and walked rapidly away. I knew I had been hurt and hurried here. could not cry out, my throat hurt me so" The girl tells her story in 8 straightforward manner. The police have been unable to discover the young men or any trace of them.
