ed to say anything in her own defense

horrible crime. Her attorneys gave no.
tice that they would apply for a writ

House Nicaragua Canal BiIl

Washington, February 3.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today directed a favorable
report on the Hepburn Nicaraguan
canal bill with amendments as a sub
stitute for the Morgan bill passed -
the senate.
The essential features of this bill are
that it authorizes the president of the
United States to acquire by purchase
from Nicaragua and Costa hica, the
territory necessary to build the canal
and then to proceed with the construc-
ton of it. One hundred and fifteen
million dollars is appropriated for the
completion of the work authorized
The changes made in the original
Hepburn bill are in reducing the ap-
preparation from $140,000,000 to S115,-
100000 striking out the provision for
the acquisition of full ownership
jurisdiction and sovereignty over the
route; and in adding civil engineers
from the navy and civil life to those
of the army for the purposes of making
surveys, etc.

That Name

Philadelphia, February 4.-The keel
Of the new battleship Maine, the con-
tract for the construction of which
was, a few months ago, awarded to
the Cramp Shipbuilding Company, will
in all probability be laid on February

The Messrs. Cramp are in receipt of

July and August OF last year. Allen, Of

committee be appointed TO report on
Monday as to the methods of proceed
ure The only thing which stands be-
tween Norwood and impeachment is
whether the committee has or can Sc
cured positive proof of Norwood's drum
kenness. The action this afternoon
appears to make impeachment reason
ably certain. The witty comment is
made that when the legislature is not
in session Norwood claims to be judge,
and that when it is in session he drops
that claim. One Of his attorneys says
Norwood now contends he is judge,
but is not assuming any of the duties
of that office whatever, leaving it to

THE TABLES TURNED
Friends OF the Treaty Unable TO Get q
Vote on the Interpretive ResoIu-
tions-senator Morgan's Strong Plea
for the Treaty

Washington, February 4.-Anothsr
effort was made in the executive ses-
sion of the senate today TO secure
unanimous consent TO vote on the res
olutions interpretive OF the peace
treaty, and it was refused by the op-
ponents of the treaty. The request was
preferred by Senator Sullivan, of Mis-
sissippi, who expressed a desire TO have
a vote on the resolution offered by
himself Senator Jones made the OBJ
lection.
There was also another effort to Sc
cure general consent to an earlier meet
ing Monday, but this also was refused,
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, acting as
spokesman for the opposition. Sena-
tor Lodge was in charge of the for
tunes of the treaty today in the alb
sence of Senator Davis. He suggested
meeting on Monday at IL o'clock, but
consent was refused, as was also the
consent to a recess until II o'clock
Monday or to an order dispensing with
the routine business on that day. The
result was an adjournment until II
o'clock Monday without any conditions
The fact developed during this fenc-
ing for time that several senators wish
ed still to be heard in explanation of
II ir attitudes. Among those who
have announced their intention to ask
TO be heard is Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, who, it was stated, would de-
nounce the opposition to the treaty
in democratic ranks as a conspiracy
against Mr.. Bryan.
For the rest of the session, Senator
Morgan occupied the attention of the
senate in a very forcible argument in
support of the treaty. He declared his
conviction that the treaty should be
ratified without amendment or modi-
Tying declaration. He believed the
American commissioners to the Paris
conference had acted very wisely and
in the best interest of the whole coun-
try, and he for one was willing to ac-
cept their work just as they had given
1t to us. He was also perfectly willing
to trust the president aided, as he
would be, by congress, to take care Of
the Philippine question in a way most
satisfactory to our people and in the
best interest Of the Filipinos. He
warned the democratic senators against
taking position against the treaty
asserting that if they succeeded in de-
feating it they would wreck the dem
ocratic party.
Senator Morgan cOntended that
there We're no constitutional impedi-
Inents IN the way Of acquiring the Phil
ippines.
The friends Of the treaty still find
themselves short of the votes necessary
to ratify the treaty and some of them
candidly confess that such is the case.
They are, however, still hopeful that
the shortage will be made good before
Monday.

A Sumner for Quay

Lebanon, Pa, February 4.-Dr Sam
uel Weiss, the anti-Quay candidate,
was nominated for state senator at the
republican primary election of Lebanon
county tonight, defeating DR.. G. Ger
berich, the Quay candidate, by about
fifteen hundred majority.
The nomination of a candidate for
state senator was made necessary by
the resignation Of J. P. S. Corbin, SEN
ator from that district, who was elect
ed lieutenant governor at the Novem-
ber election.
Owing to the existing fight in the
Pennsylvania legislature for a success
sor to Senator Quay, the fight was the
most bitter ever experienced in this
country. Both factions sent political
leaders into the district to speak for
their respective candidates and there
have been charges and counter-charges
of attempted bribery as a result of the
bitter fight. An anti-Quay leader was
arrested today charged with bribery
but was subsequently released on 81, ,000
bail.
The election will be held on February
21st, but Dr. Weiss nomination is con-
sidered equivalent to an election.

The Baltimore Brooklyn Rase Ball
EeIsa

New York, February 4.-Ned Han
Ian, manager of the Baltimore club,
announced tonight that the deal where
by the cream of the Baltimore base
ball talent was to be transferred to
Brooklyn, had been as good as con-
summated. Brooklyn is to be repre-
sented by as strong an aggregation of
ball tOsSers as ever pursued the cham
pionship emblem - ------es -zzsssszssa
AS things now are the understanding
is that EDbetts is to remain president
of the Brooklyn club. Hanlan is to be
manager. AS for the division of the
stock the conditions all along have
been that the Baltimore people were
to have so per cent. and the Brooklyn
people so. 1t was in the division of the
Brooklyn part Of the stock that a
hitch arose. Of this stock Abel will
hold the lions share, Ebbetts having
agreed to part with some of his hold
lngS. When Byne gets his $4,000 this
week, he according to the plans, will
turn his stock over to Abel and the
papers closing the deal will be signed
Hanlan left here for Baltimore to-
night. He expects to be back on Tues
day morning. The manager said that
he would take both the Brooklyn and
Baltimore teams south about March
2tOh for preliminary practice. The
Brooklyns are to be made up in the fol-
lowing formidable fashion, Kell, first
base; DAILY, second; Jennings, short
stop; Dahlen, third base. Outfielders
Griffin, Jones and, Keeler. Pitchers
Dunn, Kennedy, Maui, McJames, Nops
and Hughes. The catching department
is in doubt. Hanlon is trying to make
deal that will increase the strength
behind the bat, He will also get Cor.
bett if he can. McGraw, probably, will
remain in Baltimore and manage the
Orioles.
