TREATY WILL BE RATIFIED
Growing Belief That Long Debate viii
BE Avoided.

Growing Belief That . Long Debate viii
He Avoided.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-There is a
growing belief that the treaty of peace
will not be made the subject Of 10, :,
debate in the senate, and what, two
weeks ago, was strong probability Of
its ratification, may be said now to be a
certainty. Nothing less than some UNI
foreseen emergency can prevent the
senate's favorable action upon it at the
present session. There are features in
the treaty which many senators con-
slider Objectionable, but tho fact that it
is a treaty of peace and that they. as q
rule, have nothing in its stead to Offer
will prevent any fractions opposition.
The pan is to lot the treaty go through
and then devote themselves to shaping
legislation consequent upon its ratifica-
ton. They may offer an amendment
committing this government against an
attempt to exercise sovereignty in the
Philippines, but they do not expect it to
become part Of the document.
The treaty will be discussed in execu-
tive session, but the senators will con-
tinue to make speeches in the open
senate on Senator Vests anti-expansion
resolution.

TITLED COUPLE JAILED,

Baron and Baroness dc Hare Charged
With Using the Mails to De1raud.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 4.-Inspec-
tor Mayor, acting under the direction
of the inspector in charge, Major James
E. Stewart of Chicago, has caused the
arrest at st. Augustine of Baron and
Baroness de Bare for using the United
States mails in an alleged scheme to de-
fraud.
The couple, it is asserted, appeared at
Chicago about the 1st of last September
and worked from All Office in 115 Dear
born street. The baron and baroness
claim the case is one of mistaken iden-
tity. They have been received with
more or less social regard since coming
to st. Auyu tine and their entertain
ments have been very elegant.
1t is estimated the couple have Sc.
c''red at least $4,000 by their schemes
and the work was done in two months.

GOMEZ AGAINST. DlSBANDlNC

Proclamation.
MEN MUST BE FULLY PAID
Asserts That Though the Spaniards Are
Conc tho Island IL Not Yet Free
or Independent.

HAVANA, Jan. 4..=General Maxine
Gomez, from his camp 200 TITLES west
ward, has issued proclamation to the
Cuban army advising against disband.
ing until the proceedings at Washington
regarding the pay of the insurgent
troops have been completed. tits dated
Dec. 20 and is, in part, as follows:
1.-The Americans, tacitly our allies,
have terminated the war with Spain
and signed a treaty of peace. The
period of transition is terminated, the
army II the enemy is abandoning the
country and the sovereignty of the
great United States is beginning. But
Cuba is
Not Yet Free or Independent.
Self government is not yet constituted.
For that reason we must dedicate our
selves to bringing about the disappear
ance Of the cause for American inter-
vention. But, above everything else in
the spirit of justice to the Cuban army,
it is necessary that before the liberators
Of the people can dissolve, as guaran-
tee Of order, that the debt which the
country owes to it's soldiers is satisfied.
Awaiting these results I remain in my
present position, always ready to help
the Cubans finish the work to which
have dedicated my life,"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Justice Shiras
handed down the opinion of the supreme
court in the case Of the Missouri, Ran
sas and Texas Trust company versus
Theodore Krumseig. involving the Min.
nesota state laws prohibiting usury. Tho
trust company had loaned Krumseig
$1,000 and taken from him ten notes of
$3.50 each, or an aggregate Of $4,000. 1t
was part Of the agreement that Krum-
seig's heirs were to be relieved of the
responsibility of future payment in case
Of his death before the entire amo,n..
had been settled. and it was therefore
urged that the contract involved life
insurance feature. The court, however,
overruled this view, and cancelled the
contract as one merely for the payment
of money, on the ground that it was
usurious, thus sustaining and affirming
the decision of the circuit court of ap-
peals for the eighth circuit, and also the
circuit court for the district of Min

Those In Attendance Endorse
Their Favorite and Hope
to REFLECT Him.
THE OPPOSITION juB'LANT
Will Form a Permanent Oraan-
ization and Fight Him
Until the End,
Confidence Expressed by Quay
Leaders Of Their Ulti-
mate Victory.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 4.-Despite
the efforts Of the opponents of Senator
Quay to secure postponement of the
senatorial caucus until later date, the
adherents of the senior senator carried
their point and secured the endorsement
of their favorite by 100 of the 1874 Re-
publican members of the Pennsylvania
legislature. This is 10 less than the
number necessary to elect a United
States senator on joint ballot, the total
membership being 254, of which 1928 is
. majority. The anti-Quay leaders are
jubilant over the result Of the caucus
and claim that the man they are fight
ing can never succeed himself in the
senate. On the other hand the Quay
people and Senator Quay himself
Express Confidence Of Ultimate Victory.
They say that of the absentees two
members are kept away by sickness and
will vote for Senator Quay. This would
leave him II votes short of the number
necessary to elect, and the efforts of the
Quay leaders will be directed during
the next two weeks towards securing
these votes. It goes without saying
shat they will be just as bitterly OPP
posed in the future by the group of men
who have made the fight against Mr..
Quay as they have been in the past.
The Quay leaders during the past few
days have been claiming anywhere from
11S to 1856 votes to the caucus. The fact
that the actual figures were away below
their lowest claim is regarded by many
here as source of great disappoint-
ment to them. This class of people are
strong in the belief that Senator Quay is
beaten.
Absentees VIII Organize.
A meeting of the Republican absen.
u, tees fr,>m the caucus will be held in the
morning to perfect . permanent organ.
ization. Either Senator Flynn of ALE.
gheny or Senator Martin of Philadel-
phia will be elected chairman. The
anti-Quay leaders claim that five Of
those that participated in the caucus
will not be bound by it's action. They
take the position that it was not regu-
larry constituted gathering and that
their votes do not bind them to vote for
the caucus nominee. With the excep-
ton of four all the absentees signed
written pledge binding them to keep
away from the caucus.
