THE QUEENS DECISION.
She insists That the cortes Must Ratf
the Peace Treaty.

Madrid, Jan. 1.-THE premier, Senior
Sagasta, in an interview this afternoon,
declared that he only waited the United
States senate's ratification of the peace
treaty to convoke the cortes. 1t APP
pears that upon the occasion Of a. re-
cent visit of the premier to the palace
after his recovery from the sickness
which confined him to his bed for some
time, the queen regent, whose tact in
constitutional matters is we'll known.
drew attention to the clause of the
peace treaty providing that, while it
should be signed by President McKin-
ley and ratified by the United States
Senate, on the Spanish side it should
only be signed by the queen regent,
leaving out its ratification by the cor
ties. Her majesty thereupon informed
the premier that it was her royal pleas
ure that the treaty should be ratified
by the eortes as she was not justified
in signing it alone, and thereby in
curing the consequences of its effect
upon public feeling.

The Senate met at o'clock.
Senator Lodge Of Essex introduced a
perInissive bill providing for holding
caucuses for nomination of municipal
officers and members Of the general

alton Of such officers and representa-
Hxes.
AZ large number of House appropria-
kion Bills were favoraby reported.
The comnittee on counties favorably
reported a bill authorizing an appropri-
ati0nfor completing the hospital at the

for Lodge, and this evened things up.
AS MI. Severance is the only repub-
lican ia the House from Franklin coun-
tys senator Lodge will have to go
through life burdened with the fearful
thought that in his election to the I'm
'ited States Senate, in 1890, he did not re-
ceive even one vote from Franklin
county.
Mr. Lodge received a total vote in
Senate and House of 100, 81 in the Sem
ate and 159 in the House. Alexander B.
Bruce Of Lawrence received seven votes
In the Senate and 65 in the House, while
Measrs. Carey and Scates of Haverhill,
both socialists, voted for Winfield P
Porter Of Newburyport.
Tomorrow the Legislature will meet in
Joint convention to formally receive the
result Of the vote for senator.
Mr.. Severance of Shelburne is a rabid
ant -expansionist, and he justified his
action today in voting for Bruce by
Saving that he is so opposed to Senator
lodges attitude on Imperialism that
he could not consistently vote for him,
and his only alternative was to vote for

STOCK RISES.
Good Advance in Value Of
Compressed Air Shares.

The air motor as produced by the
American Wheelock Engine Company
of this city, continues to agitate finan-
cial circles, and yesterday the Ameri-
can Air Power Company attracted
more attention in the stock market
than preVio In the outside Secur-
tiles and on comparatively light sales,
the price advanced a further 6 points to
6S1a. Odd lots sold readily as high as
soy. Friends of the company say that
they are not at all surprised at the re-
cent advance in the price Of the stock,
as the patents bought by Letter are
considered cheap at $10,000,000, while
the company at the present time is
capitalized at $4,000,000.
1t was reported in financial and COM
mercial circles, yesterday, that the au-
to-truck company, with which Richard
Croker has identified himself, has made
such rapid strides that there is now
talk of increasing the capitalization to
100000 900. At the last meeting of the
leading men of the new concern, the
scope of the undertaking was widened
deemed advisable.
According to the latest developments
Of the plans adopted, the new company
proposes to take over all the trucking
interests of Greater New York.
In the main, this has been out
lined previously in The Spy. 1t is
thought that the moving of all freight
that requires transportation in the city
streets will he by means of automobiles
operated by compressed air. 1t is in
tended to divide the city into districts.
erect compressed air plants in each
district, and contract to haul every
thing that is now hauled on wagons.
This is to be done, as the autotruck
mon say, without antagonizlng any ex-
listing interest, are prepared to pur-
chase outright the horses, trucks and
business Of any individual firm or COR
poration now engaged in trucking and
give employment to the drivers.
There are no new developments in
the negotiations looking to consolida-
ton of the various interests, although
this will continue to throw a cloud of
additional interest about the NAM
moth enterprise.
Lawyer Henry w King of Worcester,
who has been one of the head men in
the deal, and who has been honored
with the position as legal associate with
Judge Augustus Van Wyck, is still de-
voting his energy to the completion of
the final details with great success.
Joseph H. Hoadley, one of the lead
ing men in the autotruck concern, said
yesterday:
we are not a stock jobbing COM
pany, and we do not propose to drive
single truckman out of work Sub
scr1ption to our stock has all been pro-
Ylded for, and we have none to sell in
wall street. Our present capitalize
ton will probably be increased before
long. We have now a quarter of a
million dollars worth of motors and
compressors ready to be placed In this
city. and we shall manufacture addi-
tional equipment as rapidly as posi-
Bile.
we shall require truckmen to fur
nish recommendation from their for
mer employers before engaging them,
but no deserving man now engaged tn
trucking need fear being crowded out
by US"

THE INDIAN TAX.


Alex Rennie, Jr., went to Davis
this morning in prosecution of his
duties as collector of the Indian
traders tax. He says that about
one-half Of the merchants In Ard
more have paid their tax hat this
half is largely made up or men who
represent small firms. while only
one-half Of the $4,000 expected
from Ardmore is paid.
Two merchants at Davis have
refused to pay and six merchants
at Purcell have refused.
Mr.. Rennie will 60 the latter
part of the week to Mnskogee, Where
he viii give an account of the work
and report those refusing to pay.
In answer to the question as to
what means would be employed bY
the Indian government 10 coerce
the payment of the tax, be said
that there was only one alternative
and that was for the agent to call
into service the special police and
close the doors of those refusing
to pay.
In speaking of the tax placed
upon lawyers, he said that he had
made ne effort to collect this tar
as he believed it to be too high.
The means Of forcing this eoIlec-
ton is also more difficult. The
only remedy to be applied against
the lawyer is to put him ont Of
the Territory by the police. and
then he can return at his viii, con-
sequently there is no method Of
enjoiniug him from pursuing his
profession.
