LONDON COMMENT.

Opinion Of Various Newspapers on the
Senate Committee Amendments.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-The afternoon
newspapers generally express great dis
appointment at the proposed amend
ment of the arbitration treaty, and the
Westminster Gazette hopes that public
opinion in the United States will make
itself felt before the senate acts upon
the report of its committee OH foreign
relations.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The
committee Is doing its best to make way
with the treaty. 1t has not dared to
brave public opinion in absolutely with.
holding its approval, but it has left it
valueless.
The Globe remarks: "The amend.
ment excludes every question Of real
importance, and leaves the treaty
meaningless. The most dignified course
for the senate to pursue would be to
declare that the treaty has become
worse than useless. and decline to rat.
ify it," The Globe adds: Mot many
tears would be shed over its fate, in
spite Of the premature cock GROWING"

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Senator Morgan made it very plain
in his remarks that he was opposed to
the treaty.
Several senators expressed the opin.
ion that the amendments as we'll as the
treaty should be made public, and also
took the stand that its discussion should
be public, in order that the people
might see the advantages or defects in
the instrument, and several senators
announced their intention Of giving as
much publicity to the treaty as possible,
The senate also took up the Japanese
treaty with reference to trade marks,

M'NAUGHT'S SUIT.

Northern Pacific Company Alleges Sew
erAl Onssts to His Claim.
MILWAUKEE. Feb. 2.-The Northern
Pacific Railway company has filed its
answer in the United States court to
the suit instituted by Colonel J. w.
Mcknight, late general counsel of the
company, and afterwards of counsel
for the receivers. Colonel McNaught
ID suing to recover $4,000 for services
rendered the receivers and also for an
unfixed amount for services as lobby
list before the North Dakota legislature,
whereby the passage Of the bill was Sc.
cured that made the consequent pur-
chase of the Northern Pacific and Man
itoba Railroad company's lines by the
Northern Pacific possible. In answer
the new company not only denies the
liability, but it asserts that there is
more than $l35, 900 due and owing the
company from Colonel Mcknight, and
which is specified in separate items as
offsets.
Somo Of the Items.
Among the items are an alleged over
draft of $4,000 ON his account with
the receivers; voucher for s., 500
signed by him for expenses and special
counsel fees, for which an itemized
account has not been furnished; an ex-
cess Of 1856 in commissions on an issue
of collateral trust notes.
1t transpires that Paul Schulze, who
was the general land agent Of the com.
pany, was short $4O0, 600 in his &C.
counts, and that Colonel McNaught
was surety on his bond. Colonel Nc.
Naught's liability, the answer charges,
is $50, 900, which he has never paid.
Further than this, Colonel McNaught
is accused of conveying to himself
while president of the Northern Paci.
fic and Manitoba company valuable
property in the city of Winnipeg, for
which the company paid $23, 20
The property is improved and ColoneI
! Mcknight receives the income.
The answer asserts that in the event
that Colonel Mcknight were entitled
to recover for services as lobbyist, hi.
claims would not be prior to the liens
of the mortgages, and not valid as tt
the new company. No accounting il
demanded from Colonel Mcknight
the company simply asking that the
claims be dismissed.

WENT ON THE ROCKS.

Cruiser Brooklyn Narrowly Escapes CO.
ing to the Bottom of the Delaware.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.-The United
States cruiser Brooklyn lies almost ut
terly helpless because Of a narrow ledge
of sunken rock in the Delaware river
above Marcus Hook, Pa, on which she
struck heavily during the afternoon.
Her lower double compartments for
ward were completely stove in and it
was only by the .Werest good fortune
that the big vessel did not sink. This
would undoubtedly have been the re.
suit had not her inner compart.
ments successfully withstood the
shock. AS it was she was pulled clear
of the rocks, and is now tied to the big
stone ice breakers at Marcus Hook,
protected from the heavy ice gorges in
mid river. The big vessel is seriously
damaged. How the accident occurred
can only be established by a court Of
inquiry. and this Captain Cook Of the
Brooklyn has already asked for. What
makes the accident even more deplor-
able is the fact that this was the first
time the ship has been handled by the
present officers and crew since going
into commission in the early part of
