SENATE IS CRITICAL.
Mr.. DingIey's Bill Not Regarded as
Ideal Measure

WASHINGTON, March IS.-The Re-
publican members of the senate COM
mittee on finance had a meeting after
the adjournment of the senate today
and decided to Immediately take up
the tariff as prepared by the ways and
means committee of the house with
the view of considering it in all its
details. AT the meeting today nothing
was done beyond agreeing that this
course was necessary, and deciding
that further meetings should be held
as soon as the business of the senate
would permit. There was an informal
exchange of opinion as to the neces-
sity for the proposed meetings, which
was based on the ground that the SEN
ate is jointly responsible with the house
in preparing tariff bill, and the Re-
publican members feel that they should
make sure that it should be bill which
would afford the necessary revenue for
the conduct Of the business Of the gov
and, at the same tine, appeal to the
country's sense Of fairness.
The point was made that there are
700 or 500 items in the bill, each affect
ing important industries on all Of which
the Republican members would find it
necessary to be prepared to answer
the. questions. The opinion was -ex-
pressed at the meeting that the tariff
bill was by no means as perfect a. meas
ure as its promoters In the house ap-
pear to think it is. Some OF the sched-
ules were criticised as providing duties
above the demands of the country. It
is also understood that the members

HE WILL DEFEND THE ANGLO
AMERICAN TREATY IN THE
SENATE.
ATTACKED BY Mr.. MORGAN.
THE ALABAMA MEMBER OPENS
FIRE WHEN THE MEASURE Is
REPORTED.
OLD GROUND GONE OVER AGAIN.
No Danger of Any Very Serious
Trouble, the Point Most Strongly
Insisted upon.

WASHINGTON, March 1S-When
the senate went into executive session
this afternoon the arbitration treaty
was reported. Senator Morgan began
speaking in opposition to the treaty.
opposing it on the grounds he did when
the matter was last before the senate.
Inc report in favor of the treaty was
presented by Senator Davis, as chair
man of the committee on foreign rela-
items, and was in the shape of resolu-
ton for ratification
Senator MOrgans speech was a
statement of his position, and those of
Senators Daniel and Mills, who fol-
lowed, were in the nature of a minor
1ty report in opposition to the treaty.
Morgan spoke at considerable length
going over much of the ground covered
by himself and others when the treaty
was before the senate during the last
session. He made the point that Eng
lands interests were antagonistic to
these of the United States, and said
that this country could best conserve
It's own interests by avoiding all en-
tangling alliances such as the present
treaty contemplates
There is no danger Of a misunder-
standing of a serious nature between
the people of this country and the COM
mon people of England" he said, and
then added that he ranked such leaders
as Gladstone and Bright with the
English commoners. But he contend
ed that the interests of British aristo-
Gratis are every way antagonistic to
the interests of the great masses of
the American people. He also adj
vanced the argument that one con-
gress could not, by it's action, bind
another, and said that on this account
the treaty was a mere piece of bun
cCmbe.
The right Of declaring war; he said.
IS given to congress, and it is implied
that 1t is given to one congress as
much as another. Hence even if we
ratify the treaty it would not be binding
on future sessions. If, in other words
the two nations found sufficient provo
cation for going to war they would
proceed to hostilities regardless of
treaties of peace. If, on the other
hand, they found themselves disputing
over trivial matter they naturally
would resort to arbitration and there
would be no more difficulty in arrang-
ing separate arbitration for each Oc-
casion in the future than there has
been in the past
Mr.. MorganS statement was read
from manuscript and he gave notice
that he would have it printed for the
use of the senate. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Morgan's remarks Senator
Davis gave notice that he would ask
the senate to take up the treaty again
tomorrow and said that he would then
speak on it, s~e.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, reintro-
duced his amendment of last session.
eXempting claims against the Southern
states from the operation Of the treaty.
The committee amendments were the
same as those which have been out
lined already in these dispatches.

SHERMAN AT HOME.
The Spanish Minister Among the
Callers Received.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Secre-
tary Sherman had a busy day at the
state department, for not only were the
callers out in force. but it was the reg
ular weekly reception Of the diplomatic
corps, and many of the members of the
corps awaited themselves of the privi-
lege. Among this class of callers were
the Russian minister and the ministers
from Costa Rica, Japan, Belgium Qua
temala, Spain and Greater Republic Of
Central America and Hawaii MIR.
Hatch, the Hawaiian minister brought
adviser CT the Hawaiian government.
but the shortness Of his stay made it
appear that only formalities were ex-
changed, and that no attempt was
made to discuss the subject of annexa-
ton, in which Mr.. Smith is particularly
interested. The Spanish minister
stopped longer than any Of the other
visitors, and it is believed that his visit
had special reference to the American
citizens now under arrest in Cuba
There are all told only fourteen Of these,
five being Competitor prisoners, and an
equal number of persons taken with
arms in hand The japanese minister
is deeply concerned at the changes
made by the ways and means commit
tee in those sections of the existing
tariff act relative to the duty on silk
and it is believed he took advantage Of
his call to represent to Secretary Sher-
man the Ill effect the changes made
might have upon the present satisfac-
tory trade relations between the two
countries.

CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK.
Next Grand Jury Will Take Up the
BOOdlinE Investigation.

County Attorney Peterson has sent letters
TO the members of the former grand jury
asking such of them as can spare the time
to call upon him at his office, in regard to
the testimony to be given before the next
grand jury in regard to the Drew case.
The county attorney is anxious to have as
many possible call for the reason that he
Wants to present the best evidence before
the jury, and those who remember the most
clearly what was testified to will be the ones
used. Mr.. Peterson will also use Judge
Smiths stenographer, with his minutes, to
show the variations in the evidence and
upon those facts the grand jury will be
asked to indict. Frank NJ. Nye Will also be
a witness in the case.
The names of the new grand jury were
drawn yesterday afternoon and handed to the
sheriff for service. Judge Smith laid special
stress upon an order made at the same time
to the effect that the names of the grand
jurors should be kept secret. He stated in
giving the order that If it was not for the
special matter to come before the present
grand jury he would not be so particular as
about the petit jury which he ordered should
also he kept secret. when the names were
drawn. This makes a new order of things
and it is expected that some of the attorneys
will rebel and insist that hey be allowed to
look at the list
From the orders given by Judge Smith in
regard TO the grand jury there is not now the
least doubt but there will be a complete in
vestigatiOn of municipal affairs at the next
grand jury sitting, in which the police de-
partment will not be passed lightly over.
One of the first matters. of course, will be the
perjury case against Aid Francis G. Drew.

There was little abatement of the

OF the strain they have been under for
the past ten days in receiving the In
Vulnerable callers and hackers of ap-

to the senate today seems TO Whet the
appetite of the place-seekers, judging
from the manner they were received
by crowds in waiting in the White
house. One of the earliest callers this
morning was Senator Mason, of Illi-
nois, who came to talk over the Chi

The First Measure Reported to the

sion Of the senate today was brief and

VICToRIA's REIGN.
OF All the Long Rulerships Hers Ia
the Longest.

Queen Victoria, born in 1919, is by no
means the Oldest of living monarchs or DO
tentates, says the New York Sun. The king
OF Denmark, Christian TX, is one year older;
there are three German sovereigns older than
queen Victoria and Pope Leo XIII. was nine
years old when Queen Victoria was born.
But in respect of the duration of her reign
Queen Victoria Is the oldest living of sover-
egns, for she ascended the throne Of Great
Britain In 1887, and on June 20 next will COM
plete the sixtieth year Of her reign. The
next oldest of the sovereigns of the world is
Franz Joseph of Austria Hungary who as
cended the throne in Vienna in 1S4S.
Sixty years reign for one monarch Is an
unusual thing, even IN England, where revo-
lutions have been rare and where the pres
ent royal family is of great longevity. George
/. reigned II years. George H. SO wears.
George ILL.,, SO years and months; George
W., 10 years; William W., years; Edward
III. reigned so years; Henry VIII, 3S years;
Mary, years, and Elizabeth, IA years. In
honor OF the queens sixty years reign many
patriotic Englshmen are already preparing
celebrations and festivities designed to show
the increase of England's influence and her
progress In commerce and the mechanical
arts since 1897.
Great preparations have been made for the
International electrical and engineering ex-
hibdon at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The progress
and development in electrical and other
branches of industry since 1897 win be H.

1t is representative of many OF those inter-
ests which have grown most notably since
1897. Beginning in April similar exhi-
bition will be held at BlackpooL This exhi-
bition will be less representative OF the me-
chancal advance OF England than OF the
growth Of the country In other directions.
Since 1887 the increase in the population of
England, including Wales has been from
15OO0.CoO to 29 100000 The population Of
Scotland in 1887 was 27O0,O0O is now 4,O00,-
coo; but Ireland, which had at that time a
population Of 100000, has now only 4,7O0,-
600.
From 1887 to 1897 the population of Lon
don has increased from 900 to $780,
600. Liverpool has grown from zoo, 600 to
100000 Manchester, from 100000 to 4o5,-
O0O, and Newcastle. where the first Of the
celebrations is to be held, from 6S, 900 to
10000. The commerce of England has In
creased in even greater ratio, and the mate
rial wealth of England has more than
doubled during the 60 wears. But the value
of land, particularly agricultural land, out
side Of the great cities, is less now than ID
was 60 years ago, and the falling off Is so
great as to offset even the increase in some
of the large cities.
