IN TERESTING EXPERIMENT.
The Government, fora Time at Least, VIII
own Telegraph and Telephone
Lines la Porto Rico

Washington, Dec. 9.-The situation
in Porto Rico promises to force on this
government, for time at least, the
experiment of federal ownership OF
telegraph and telephone lines. The
war department now controls all lines
in Porto Rico and in the evacuated
sections of Cuba. The latter, how
ever, is looked upon as merely
transient. In both places the lines
are being repaired and the gov
eminent is handling commercial
messages after government mat
ter The signal service, in charge
of this work, says IL is too soon to draw
conclusions as to the expense of the
service, as the cost for maintenance
and long delayed repairs is just now
more than the income from The lines.
But in six months from the tst of Jan.
uary the signal service expects to be
able to furnish some interesting data
as to the profit in the insular
wire service. The military occu-
patton of the lines will naturally
continue until the establishment of a
civil government, and considerable in
terest is expressed as to how the man
aPement of the lines will be disposed
eventually, or whether it will be per-
manently retained by the government.
This enforced object lesson in federal
management is naturally expected To
have considerable influence pro or con
in the agitation for like control in
this country. The signal service
reports the commercial bust.

struments on most of the purely mill
tary lines, but the work of reconstruc-
tion in Cuba is very slow as it is at
least ten years behindhand in re-
pairs. The latest military line under
construction is from Nuevitas to Santa
Cruz, 30 miles.

THE TREATY SIGNED
Signatures Affixed to the Document
Closing the War with Spain.
TIE PROSPECTS FOR RATIFICATION.
The President VIII Send the Treaty to the
senate Soon After the Holidays and
the Outlook IL That II VIII
60 Through.

Paris, Dec. H. Last week was an
cventful one in Paris and, from an
American point of view, the most i'm
portant of all the incidents was the
signature, late saturday evening, at
the French ministry of foreign affairs
OF the treaty of peace, which brings to
IA close the war between Spain and the
United States and adds to the territory
of the latter the Philippines, Guam in
the Ladrones, the Sulu islands and
Porto Rico, while it marks the final
termination of the oppressive thraldom
which spain has yielded over Cuba for
close upon four centuries. The Amer
leans are to pay for the repatriation of
the Spanish troops from all the col
onies. The Spaniards are to return all
prisoners held by them. They are to
retain possession of all military stores
and munitions of war in the Philip
pines and of such ships as have not
been captured. The commercial trea-
ties between the two nations which
the war ruptured are to be renewed at
the convenience of the two nations.
The protocol makes nearly 600 type
written pages.
There were two sessions of the com
mlttee Saturday, one lasting from $3.50
p. IN. to 5:l5 p III. and the other open
ing at seven p. IN. The treaty was
signed AT $40 p. IN. To the Americans
it was a happy ending of the epilogue
OF war; for the Spaniards it was plain
Iva bitter tragedy, none the less pain
full because long foreseen. They sat
silently, as though almost crushed,
and none could withhold sympathy
for Senior Montero Rios, the president
of the Spanish commission, who, com
ing from his bed, was bundled in
great overcoat, though logs were burn
ing in the fireplace near by.
The treaty AS signed consists of II
articles, IL having been found advisa-
BILE to subdivide two or three of the
articles in the draft agreed upon at
the last meeting The commissioners
of the two nations wrote their sigma
lures on two copies of the treaty, one
copy being for the archives. The docu.
ment was prepared by Secretary Moore
in behalf of the United States com
mission, and by Senior Villaruita for
Spain, on account Of the continued ILL
LESS of Secretary Oleada of the Span-
ish commission. Each copy contains
the English and Spanish text of the

MISS BABCoCK'S TESTIMONY

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 0.-Miss Frances

Collins is said to have murdered his
father, testified yesterday and, if the

by johnson Jordan and Jesse Harper.
The hope Of the defense for an acquit-
tai was based on the impeachment of
Collins negro accusers. But every per-
son in the courtroom knew that Miss
Babcock told the truth and the whole
truth. Those sentimental persons
who hoped to see "A love affair dis
sected were disappointed. Miss Bah
cock intimated very firmly that
she and Mr.. Collins had never been
anything more than Just friends"
John told her shortly before the muir
der that he expected soon To have
enough money to pay all his debts.

FOR A TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
senator Davis, or the Peace Commission,
says America, England and Japan
should Get Together.

London, Dec. H. The Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail summarizes
an interview he had with United States
Senator Cushman X. Davis. of the
peace commission, who advocates a
triple alliance between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. The
correspondent saws:
Mr. Davis declared that American and British
interests in the far east run quite parallel and
that, therefore, the two powers should act Joint
w. Il am not appealing to sentiment, " he said.
though blood is thicker than water and this
argument should not be ignored. NY thesis
in favor OF cooperation Is borne out by the
coolest logic favor treaty Of alliance
including the United States. Great Britain aud
Japan for the protection OF all their interests
north OF the equator, The rest of the world
would have u wholesome fear synonymous
with respect for us" He proceeded to argue
that Russia, Germany and France had secured
the great bulk OF the commercial benefits in
China to the exclusion OF both the United
States and England He suggested that such
u dreibund could have nothing to fear from
any coalition OF other nations and that
therefore II would tend to preserve the
peace. There are still SO years OF vigorous
fight In England said Davis, which shows
no signs OF decrepitulo, while strong as Amer
lea Is IL will take several hundred years to de-
velop her promise ana potency. [ do not see
why other nations should object To the alliance
II they do, let them Germany al
ready by special legislation has i'm
mensely injured Americas commercial
interests German Americans regret this at
ttude on the part Of tho mother country. So
far ns the Philippines are concerned there will
be an open door, but not FREE trade our pro-
lection policy will be applied without favoring
any nation and the local needs OF our new ter
ritOries will be considered"
