Hart.

CHICAGO, March e.-Charles Comiskey,
manager of the St. Paul team of the Western
league. came to Chicago yesterday morning
and during the course Of the day happened
around to President Harris office to see what
he could do about arranging an exhibition
game with the Colts. Comiskey would like
TO have the Chicago team take a trip to St.
Paul early in the season, or should that prove
impracticable, he would be willing TO bring
his team to Chicago upon some open date
President Hart said that the only thing he
could do for st. Paul would be in the first
part Of October, when the Colts had free
as st. Paul before the beginning of the sea-
son, and after the season opened 1t had no
Sundays to spare. The Western league
schedule Is completed in September, so the
October date is too late.
Comiskey says that if Woods is any faster
tAan Isbeil the Chicago management need
have no troubles about the outfed. He re-
CARDS Isbell a strong player, young, strap
ping and quick. Hart made some crack
about the boy being al right as he

this morning, causing an estimated loss
of $4,000 fully covered by insurance.
The damage by fire was confined to
the rear rooms on the third floor of the
Seventh street side of the building, but
the quantity of water necessary to sub
due the blaze more or less damaged
the other floors, while smoke was also
responsible for some damage.
The ground floor and basement of No
226 is occupied by M. Mealey, dry goods
and notions, whose loss by water and
smoke was kept within $1,000 by the

HAWAIIAN TREATY A. UP.
The Bacon Amendment Discussed In
the Senate, but No Final Ac-
ton Taken.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Acting
in accordance with Instructions of the
committee on foreign relations, SEN
ator Davis today moved an executive
session of the senate for the purpose
of taking up the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. After some nominations had
been considered, he moved that the
treaty be taken up, and that the SEN
ate should proceed to the considera-
ton of the amendment offered by Sen
ator Bacon, providing for the submits
sion Of the treaty to. a vote of the
electors of Hawaii. This amendment
read as follows: 5.tc. ..
That this act shall not be operative and
of binding effect upon either the United
States or the republic of Hawaii until the
same shall have been consented to and
approved by the majority of the voters
voting at an election to. be held in the
Hawaiian islands, at which election all
male natives of said Islands of the age of
twenty-one years, and all naturalized male
persons In said islands of the age of TWEEN
ty-one years, shall be duly qualified vot-
ers.
Senator Bacon objected to immediate
consideration of his amendment. say
ing he had received no notice of the
intention of the committee to ask to
have it taken up at this time, and
that he desired some opportunity to
prepare himself for the presentation
OF the reasons for submitting the
treaty to a popular vote of the Hawa-
liam people.
He proceeded to say, in a general
way, that he thought the Hawaiians
should be consulted in matter which
concerned them so deeply as the COM
plete change of their government
Senator Bacon asked for additional
time and also put the question to Sen
ator Davis whether it was the inten-
ton of the committee on foreign re-
lations to press the treaty to a vote
To this inquiry, Mr. Davis replied
that he was not prepared to say what
course the committee would pursue
with regard to a vote on the treaty
beyond the fact that they did not want
to deprive all senators who might wish
to speak of an opportunity of doing so.
He also said that while he was willing
to submit to what appeared to be the
popular desire that the senate should
adjourn after the passage of the $780,
600, 600 defense bill, he would again to-
morrow, If opportunity offered, move
an executive session of, the senate for
the purpose of going on with the treaty
and that he would pursue these tactics
from day to day so far as the bust
ness of the senate in other lines would
permit.

Special to The st. Paul Globe
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Represen-
tative Eddy made a speech on the free
homestead bill in the house this after
noon. He was given control of the
time on the side of those who favor
the free homes amendment to the IN
dian appropriation bill, and Mr.. Sher-
man, of New York, controlled the time
of those who oppose the proposition.
After Mr.. Eddy's speech the house
adjourned without taking action, but it
is said that Mr.. Eddy made several
votes for the amendment by his clever
handling of the case. Eddy was for
tunate, too. from the fact that Mr..
Sherman and the others opposed made
some monstrous statements about the
effects of the bill which the Seventh
district statesman, who has made a
study of this particular subject for
years, was quickly able to refute
The principal objection raised by Mr.
Sherman was that the amendment, if
engrafted into law, would deprive the
agricultural colleges of the country Of
benefits from the sales of government
lands, and from trust reservations.
Mr.. Eddy, in his homely way, quickly
replied that no delicately constructed
youth of New York, or no gold spec
tacled girl from Boston need be ap-
prehensive lest they should be COM
PEELED to forego the curriculum Of
learning how to hoe potatoes scientifi-
cally or to bake beans artistically If
they really wanted to learn such things
at the expense of the poor homestead
settlers of the country, then 1t would
be thousand times better for the
Eastern youths to come West and
learn by actual experience and upon
soil that is not sterile, how to till the
land
Tomorrow Judge Morris and Repre-
sentative Stevens, Of ST. Paul, and
Tawney, of Winona, will speak.
Mr. Eddy said tonight that he was
well satisfied with the prospects of car

New Tire for Road Work.

The latest plan for a tire for road work
is being patented by a Minneapolis young
man who has spent the greater part of the
present winter in study of the requirements.
This tire consists of a rubber riband laced
across the groove of an aluminium rim, thus
forming bridge upon which rests an outer
tire of cork encased in a light jacket of
rubber fabric. The rubber riband furnishes
all the cushioning necessary, and those who
have tried the new tire declare that they are
able to detect no difference in the resistency
of the new tire and that afforded by pneu-
matte
AS to the durability of the riband, one
set of these tires has now been in con-
slant use over icy roads for the last four
or FIVE months.
