PEACE TREATY DISCUSSED.
QueshtiOn of Considering 1t in Open
Session Not Yet Decided.

WASHINGTON Jan. 13.-The supporters
and opponents Of the peace treaty in the
Senate had their first contest over that
document to-day in executive session. While
the debate technically was upon Senator
Berry's motion providing for consideration
Of the resolution of ratification in open ses-
sion, the entire question at issue was gone
over to j considerable extent. The discus
sion continued from a few minutes past
o'clock until about 5, when the Senate ad-
journed for the day, without reaching d
vote on the Berry motion.
There were no set speeches, in the usual
acceptance of that phrase 1t was a running
debate, in which Seuators Berry, White
Hale, Hoar Vest and others in opposition
to the treaty met Senator'S Davis, Frye
Teller, Gray and others in advocacy of it,
Probably twenty senator's spoke. bat many
of them did little more than ask questions
Still, speeches of some length were made
by Messrs. Teller and Frye, on the one hand
and by Messrs. Hale and Hoar, on the other
There were many animated colloquies be-
tween the senator's. and for time an ex-
ceptioral degree of feeling was shown.
The proceedings opened with a speech by
Senator Berry, in support of his motion for
open sessions, and he was replied to briefly
by senators Davis ana frye, senator Vest
coming in later in support of Mr. Berry, and
Senator Teller joining with the forces in
opposition to the motion. The discussion
over this point hinged entirely on the con-
tention, en- the one hand, that the public
was entitled to know what was taking place
in the disposition of so important a ques-
ton as the ratification Of the peace treaty
and, on the other that the debate was sure
to develop facts and call forth utterances
which should not be given to other nations
1t was argued by those favoring the mo-
tion that 10 harm could come by taking the
public into the Senates confidence while
those opposed stated that vast international
questions were involved which could be con
sidered in a far more judicial and calm
manner behind closed doors than with the
whole world invited TO listen. Suppose ii
was important that the matter be kept pri-
vate. said Senator Vest no one supposed
for a moment that this result could be Sc
cured. The Senate's executive secrets, so,
called are invariably known to the world
and for this reason, If for no other. he
could see no benefit in excluding the public.
Senator White thought It safe to count that

BANKERS ARRESTED.
Charged with Conspiracy to Defraud
in the CertiIicatiOn of Check.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-James McNaugh-
ton, former president of the Tradesmen's s
National Bank, and Allan McNaughton,
president of the Wool Exchange, and one
of the directors of the Tradesmen's National
Bank, were arrested to-day and arraigned
before Commissioner Shields charged with
conspiracy to defraud in connection with the
certifcation of a check drawn on the Trades
mems National Bank to the order of the
United States Trust Company for $4,000,
when the Trust Company, as alleged, had
no funds in the bank to it's credit Both
pleaded not guilty and they were held in
$25, coo bail each for examination next Tues
day.
Against James McNaughton there are two
complaints. On the additional charge of
wrongfully certifying the $4,000 check he
was held in $4,000 bail, making $35 900 in all.
The technical charge made against both
men was conspiracy in violating stat
utes. David II. Bates, who succeeded James
McNaughton, as president of the Trades
mems National Bank, made the complaint
on which the warrant was issued The Nc
Naughton Brothers were under examination
in voluntary bankruptcy proceedings when
they were arrested. The A1cNaughtons
lawyer alleged in court that the transaction
was purely technical, and that the bank
suffered no loss. United States District At
torney Burnet said the certification of the
large check was "the beginning of a cum
ningly devised scheme by which the bank
was defrauded of several hundred thousand
dollars" General Burnet added: "Other
facts will consider later" The check for
$51O, 600 was drawn Feb 10. 1897.

These are Republican times. Trusts
or combines are a barrier to general
progress but Republicans are no more
responsible for them then Democrats
are.
Prof. Palmer has done more for
our schools in the same length of time
than any of his predecessors. Teachers
especially should vote for him because
he has elevated the profession and
eliminated unqualified and unfit per
sons from it. We have No. ticket
from top to bottom. Gov. Lowndes
should receive an overwhelming ma
jority. Western Marylanders should
vote against Mr.. Smith because he is
opposed to an equal and fair distribu-
tion of the State School funds. He
favors giving a white pupil of South
Eastern Maryland nearly double what
one receives in our part of the State;
therefore, in justice to our children,
vote down such a man.

TEACHERS of Garrett county, the
record of the Democratic and that of
the Republican School Boards is be-
fore you. What does it show? We
find that under Democratic business
management the teachers at one time
were paid with due bills, which if
they got cashed were shaved ten per
cent. At no time under the Repub-
lican board has such a thing hap
pened. AT another time under Dem
ocratic control we had but thirty-fve
days of school.
Let us compare the amount paid to
the teachers for three years under
Democracy. The teachers of our
county were paid $39,S1O.O2 for three
years. Under the Republican School
Boards administration the teachers
have been paid $50, 432 70, and yet the
Democrats are bowling about the
schools in politics and appealing to
the teachers to vote against their best
interests by voting against Mr.. Pal

they can be better equipped for their
