VEST OPENS THE
 FIGHT AGAINST
 PANS|ON|STS Holding of Colonies Unconstitutional. so CLAIMED IN A RESOLUTION MEASURE TO REWARD SER VICES OF DEWEY. Bill Presented by Hale to Revive the Grades of Admiral
 and Vice Ad-
 miral.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The first note of the anti-eXpansionists was sounded in the Senate to-day by Sen ator Vest of Missouri, who introduced the following joint resolutions:
 That under the constitution of the Uni ted States no power is given to the Feder- al Government to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as colo nies. The colonial system of European nations cannot be established under our present constitution; but all territory &C., quired by the Government, except such small amount as may be necessary for coal ing stations, correction of boundaries and similar governmental purposes, must be acquired and governed with the purpose of ultimately organizing such territory into States Suitab ble for admission into the Union.
 A brief discussion of the navigation laws was precipitated by the considera- tion of a bill amending those laws by the addition of a provision that for eign built vessels wrecked in the Unit ed States, purchased by citizens of this country and repaired to the extent of three -fourths of their value, shall ba subject to forfeiture if they engage subsequently, in the coastwise trade of the United States.
 Vest, member of the Committee on Commerce, expressed his opposition to the bill, principally because it afforded protection to the coastwise trade, which needed no protection. Under the pres ent system of navigation laws this trade had decreased from 75 per cent to II per cent, and this country is now paying $50, 100000 annually to foreign shipowners for carrying trade that ought to be carried in American bot toms. This condition of affairs. Vest declared, was a scandal and dis grace" He said he had been amused at the suggestion of the President. made in his message submitted yester- day, that our carrying trade be encour- aged by the payment of subsidies
 Tn other words" he said, it is pro- posed to substitute for the vicious syS- tenn of navigation laws a scheme of subsidies that is even more vicious than Is the evil it proposes to .emedy.
 Under the proposed policy of the administration" continued Vest. i've are to build a great navy. We are to cease to be a nation of traders and. under the impulse of the policy of ex- pansion. become a nation of warriors. It would appear to me to be better first to build up our carrying trade. would also let our people, through the beneficent effects of such trade. buy where they can buy cheapest"
 Caffery of Louisiana, as a member Of the Committee on Commerce, op- posed the bill.
 Finally it was made a special order for next Monday.
 Merrill reported a petition from the Legislature of Vermont asking for the revival of the grade of admiral and the recognition of Rear Admiral Dewey.
 Hale presented a bill to revive the grade Of admiral and vice admiral.
 At 1:30 p. m. the Senate adjourned.

COULD WILL NOT
 LOSE A FORTUNE
No Penalty Incurred by
 His Marriage.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-It is now defi- nitely established that Howard Gould will not be called upon to sacrifice any part of his fortune as a result of his recently marrying Miss Katherine Clemmons. This has just been deter mined at a family council at which it was agreed that Howard should be left in undisturbed possession of his fortune of $10,000,000, one-half of which he would have been called upon to forfeit under an enforcement of clause in his fathers will. This clause expressly de- clared that any one of MT. Gould's chil- dren who should marry without the consent of the others should forfeit one half of his or her fortune, which should be equally divided among the other children.
 There was strong opposition in the family from the first to Towards at tentions to Miss Clemmons, and it was unquestionably this opposition, which was backed by the forceful argu- ment of an entailed sacrifice of $5,000,- 900, that so delayed MT. Goulds mar riage. When at last his long courtship was brought to a close by the quiet wedding in the brides apartments in the Holland House. no member of the
 
 was generally accepted as an indication that the other heirs were irreconcilably opposed to the match, and the predic- tion was freely made that the punitive condition of the will would be enforced
 It is probable that the attitude of the heirs would have been defined at an earlier date had it not been for the fact that at the time of the marriage there were lacking only a few weeks before the coming of age of Jay Gould's youngest child, Frank, whose twenty first birthday was celebrated on Mon day. when he came into possession of his S10,000,000 share of the estate and was entitled to a voice in the decision affecting the fortune of his brother. He then fully concurred in the decision of the other heirs that no penalty should attach to his brothers marriage, no matter how much the family might de- plore the alliance.

IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAMl
 A woman with the blues is very un- comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical
 The condition of the mind known as the blues," nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation.
 It is source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease.
 Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense. and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter:
 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have sui fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and alteration of the womb, and this spring, being in such weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for short time, that terrible flow stopped.
 "I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffer- ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you"

ELECTRIC COMPANIES
 IN A MERRY WAE

SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 6.-Last evening there was trouble between the Big Creek Company and the Electric Light and Power Company, resulting in eleven ar rests on charges of unlawfully taking possession of the latter company's plant on Pacific avenue.
 The Big Creek Company has a contract to operate incandescent lights and fur nish power to the powder works. In or der to carry out its contract the plant of the Electric Light and Power Company was leased until next month. The latter corporation. by James McNeil, its presi- dent thought that too much strain was being placed on the machinery, so on Sunday evening it took possession.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

DARIS, Dec. 6.-The peace treaty of Paris is practically an accomplished fact. Today session disposed of the essential features of the treaty, which will be embodied in the following eight articles:
 First-The customary pre- face Of treaties in the na- ture Of an expression of amity and Of hope for per petual peace.
 Second The reIinquish- ment by Spain Of her sover- eighty over Cuba.
 Third-The withdrawal of tho Spanish troops.
 Fourth The reIinquish- ment by Spain Of her sover- eighty over Porto Rico.
 Fifth-Spain'S cession Of the Philippines.
 SiXth-The withdrawal of the Spanish troops there.
 SeVenth-Payment by the United States Of S2O,OOO,- 900 for the Philippines.
 Eighth-The provision for the "open door" conner cial policy in the Philip pines.
 The rough draft of the treaty, which may be considerably changed, covers the protocol pro- posals. It makes a long docu- ment, which Senator Davis oi the United States Peace Com mission says will be found to be one of the most interesting pa pers of its character ever written. So completely are the details oi the evacuation of the Philippines stipulated, that a commission such as arranged for the Spanish withdrawal from the West Indies will be unnecessary.
 Among the questions not yet settled, however, are the coaling station and religious freedom in the Carolines, the Spanish com

mission not having replied to the American offer.
 The Americans have agreed to transport Spanish prisoners home, including the garrison and sailors at Manila captured by Ad- miral Dewey and General Merritt, as well as the soldiers and civil ians held by the Filipinos, whose return the Americans have guar anteed.
 As compensation Spain prom ises to liberate all Cuban, Porto Rcan and Philippine political prisoners. Spanish soldiers elect ing to remain in the colonies may do so, but 1t IS more a matter of economy for the Americans to return the others, as they must be fed as long as they are kept, and Spain is unable to bear the expense of repatriation.
 Also the Americans have re- jected Spain's request for free shipping for ten years in Cuban and Porto Rican waters, they having given the Spanish Com such poor consolation as the latter may derive from the permission to reapply when the diplomatic relations have been renewed for shipping conces- sions under the reciprocity scheme of the Dingley law, for which Senor Dupuy de Lome was negotiating in Washington when the war broke out.
 There are still under discussion eight secondary subjects which the Spanish Commissioners preached last week, in- clu9nng the status of patents and copy rights.
 The American Commissioners to-day handed to Senor Montero Rios a writ ten reply covering these questions. There will probably be no joint session tomorrow, as the Spaniards desire time to consider this document.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The advices from Paris to the effect that 1t might be reasonably presumed that the Peace Commissioners will be ready to sign a treaty of peace within a day or two are fully confirmed here It is learned that the Presidents instructions to Judge Day were to hasten the conclusion, and to that end the American Commission CTS have been authorized to limit the treaty closely to protocol points, leav- ing other matters, such as the acuuisi- tion of cable stations and naval sta tions, to be dealt with hereafter.
 As such separation of points Is en- tirely in line with the expressed desire of the Spanish Commissioners, there appears to be no reason, now that an agreement has been reached as to all of the protocol points, why those should not be immediately reduced to the form in which it is desired they should ap- pear in a treaty and be at once signed by the Commissioners. In this case, it is possible that the treaty of peace may be submitted to Congress even before the Christmas recess.

George Hudson Meets His Death in
shocking Manner.
Friday afternoon the crowds as
sembled at the waters edge on the hill
were shocked beyond expression by
the report that the iron balcony over
the main entrance to the st. Cloud Ho-
tel had given way and that Is persons
had been thrown into eight feet OF
water which was raging down Front
street like a mill race. AS at first re-
ported the accident was supposed to
have cost the lives of three persons, but
investigation disclosed that Mr.. George e
Hudson, the undertaken, and new
conner to the city, was the only victim.
When the supports OF the balcony
gave way he was pinned do Tn by the
iron work in some unaccountable man.
ner and drowned before he could re-
lease himself or aid could reach him.
Mr.. Hudson was missed Immediately,
and assuming his body to be under the
wreck, those in the hotel made hasty
preparations to secure it. James
Whiting, of the West Side, located the
body by diving, and a rope was at
tached to the wreck, which was raised
sufficiently to allow the drowned man
to be taken out. The remains were
taken charge of by Mr.. w. 5. Graver,
son-in-law of Mr.. Hudson, and pre-
pared for burial. Mrs. Hudson, the
wife of the unfortunate under taker,
was at St. Marys, W, Va, and Mr.. l.
L. Ellis, with the little steamer A. II.
Lawrence, went up after her Saturday
morning. His arrival there was the
first intimation given the widow of the
bereavement which had come upon her.
Mrs. Hudson and daughters came at
once to Marietta and are still here.
The funeral was held at the NJ. E.
church Sunday afternoon and inter
ment made in Oak Grove cemetery.
Mr.. Hudson was the senior mem Der
of the firm of Hudson e Riggs. He
was SO years of age, man who made
acsuaintances easily and retained
their friendship. His sad death was
the only fatality due to the food and
was a severe shock to the entire city.
The balcony which broke under the
comparatively light weight Of IS per-
sons was flimsy affair and had been
erected more for ornament than for
use. There was no door opening upon
it, and entrance was gained through a
window. 1t was supported at the

FELL WITH A CRASH.
McLaren Building Front Street De-

McLaren Building on Front Street De-
stroyed as Result of the Flood.
Tuesday afternoon pedestrians on
Front street, in the vicinity of Butler,
were startled by loud crash and
turned in the direction from which II
came to see the roofs Of the row OF
frame buildings above police head
quarters disappearing beneath the
sidewalk The entire row from Wit
tlig's building to Schimmefs shoe
store went down. The buildings were
foated by the flood, and an attempt
was made to remove them to their
original position, but the supports
could not maintain the great weight.
Mr.. Peter McLaren, the owner, was at
the saw mill purchasing timber to
strengthen them when the crash
came. While the buildings were of
little value in themselves, they were
productive of nice revenue. When
Mr. McLaren gets handsome brick
block on the property he will no doubt
be glad of the tumble.
