THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senator'S Discuss Its Possible Eff
feet on the Nicaragua Canal
Project.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25-The Sen
ate committee on foreign relations today
had the arbitration treaty under discus
sion, but the discussion was almost
wholly upon its bearing on the Nicaragua
canal. The committee had read the
ClaytonBulwer treaty, also all the
treaties and agreements between the
United States and Nicaragua and Costa
Rica relating to the canal
The letter Of Minister Rodriguez pre-
scented to the Senate on Friday, in which
the Nicaraguan government protested
against the present canal bill before the
Senate, formed the basis of discussion
This led to talk Of what the real situa-
ton was in regard to the concession and
the canal and the rights Of the Maritime
Canal company as well as the rights OF
the United States.
Several senator's seem to think that the
Nicaragua canal might be seriously af-
fected by the treaty and the determine
ton of the committee will be to go to
the bottom of the question before taking
up other portions of the treaty. Senator
Morgan took an active part in the discus
sion and, being chairman of the Mica
ragua canal committee and in charge of
the bill before the Senate, his views We're
presented at some length and with much
earnestness. The Alabama senator in
sisted that the canal situation must be
settled before the treaty could be ratified.

WISCONSIN LAND CASE.
Attorney General Argues the Suit
Against the Sturgeon Fay
Canal Company.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-[Spe-
cial. l-Commissioner Lamoreux today
heard arguments in a land contest III
which the parties are the state Of Wis
consin and the Sturgeon Bay Canal COM
pany. In this case the government
made 4 land grant to the state of Wis
consin for the benefit Of the Sturgeon
Bay Canal company. The land was to
be certified to the company in sections
as the canal was completed at later
date. But before the lands were certi-
fled to the company the state had Sc
lected about 2000 acres of it as swamp
land. This selection is contested by the
company on the ground that the land
is part of the canal grant and cannot
therefore be selected by the state. This
land is very valuable and is situated
near Green Bay.
In the argument today Attorney Gen
eral Mylrea. who, with Assistant Gen
eral Erdall, represented the state, of
fered to reconvey the land to the United
States provided swamp patent was IS
sued to the state. The proposition was
not accepted by the opposition, repre-
scented by Attorney Mariner of Miiwau-
kee. Judge Lamoreux reserved his de-
ciSiOn.

injuries received on an alleged defective

their minds to give Mrs. Frederick Hyer
$4,000 for the injuries received as the re
suit of a fall on Il walk that was not
defective, but icy. The case was tried
here first and the jury disagreed.
The farmers about Lima are up in

the farm of Arthur Hearn, near Tiffany.
This time the thieves took the best colt
on the place, and two COWS. Track of

VERDICT OF GUILTY.
John O'Donnell Convicted of Poi
soning His Wife at Eau
Claire.

Eau Claire, Wis, Jan. 22-[Special.l
John O'Donnell, charged with the muir
der of his wife, Katherine O'Donnell,
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree, the jury being out two hours.
Many people expected a verdict of ac-
quittal
The trial began January 13 and has at
tracted a great deal of attention, owing
to the prominence of the parties. The
states line of evidence was to the effect
that O'Donnen wanted to get his wife
out of the way in order to marry Vina
lie Claire, whose home was with her par
ents on farm near GlenWood a small
place between Eau Claire and st. Paul,
on the Wisconsin Central road. The
state put on the stand Prof
Haines, the Chicago expert, to show
the presence of strychnine in the
stomach of Katherine O'Donnell
and also local chemists and other expert
evidence on strychnine poisoning and on
the special circumstances surrounding the
death of Mrs O'DonnelI, and showed
that O'Donnell, under an assumed name,
bought strychnine at Il local drug store,
whose proprietor swore that such was the
fact. Vina lie Claire was not accused
of completely in the alleged crime.
O'Donnell has steadily maintained that
he is innocent and that his Wife's death
was a mystery to him.
The motion of O'DonnelPs attorney
for Il new trial on the grounds of al
legged improper admission of evidence and
alleged improper remarks of the district
attorney, is to be argued Monday. There
is no expectation that he can get q new
trial
