PARIS PEACE TREATY.
ENDORSED BY FOREIGN RELA.
TIONS COMMITTEE.
Reported to the Senate Without
Amendment, With Recommends
ton That It be Ratified.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE first
step-no unimportant one-toward the
ratification of the treaty of peace con-
cluded with Spain by the Paris Com
missioners has already been taken. To-
day the members of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, to whose
consideration it was referred when first
submitted by the President, authorized
Senator Davis to report the treaty,
without amendment, to the Senate,
with a Recommendation that it be rati-
fed Unanimous and complete approval
such as this from the committee can
hardly fail, it is thought, to render yet
brighter the prospects, already good,
for the acceptance Of the treaty with
out amendment.
The committee was in session for
only an hour, and the greater part Of
this time was consumed in waiting for
a quorum, the Senators meantime dis
cusisng informally the provisions of
the treaty. There was only bare
quorum of the committee present, but
Senators Cullom and Clark, who were
among the absentees, sent their prox-
ies Senators Morgan and Grey were
the only Democrats in attendance, but
tors Daniel, Mills and Turpie, had full
notice of the purpose of the meeting,
and they indicated no opposition to
immediate action There was no sug-
gestion of any amendment in commit
tee. Senator Davis was instructed to
press the treaty upon the attention of
the Senate, with a view to securing as
early action as possible. The commit
tee also authorized Senator Davis to re-
port favorably upon the proposition to
remove the injunction of secrecy.
When the executive session Of the
Senate convened at BIO p. m. to-day
Davis reported the peace treaty, stating
that It had not been amended in any
respect in the committee. He moved at
the same time that the treaty and the
proceedings Of the Peace Commission be
made public This motion led to de-
bate The discussion was brief, how
ever, and the motion to remove the in
| junction Of secrecy prevailed without
division.
Senator Berry moved that the debate
upon the treaty should be conducted in
open Senate, but the motion went over
until tomorrow.
There were only casual remarks upon
the policy Of publicity, and these were
generally favorable to the removal Of
the secrecy injunction from the treaty,
and as generally opposed. to the open
ing of the doors of the Senate for the
debate upon the treaty.
Senator Davis gave notice that he
would ask for the earliest possible con-
sideration, giving the impression that
he would move to take up the treaty
J tomorrow.

Whiteside testified that his object was
to get this money from the Clarke peo-
pie and then expose their methods.
Mr.. Clarke seconded the request for
a Grand Jury. and declares he will
be able to prove the whole thing con-
spiracy on the part of his enemies. The
Grand Jury will meet Saturday and
begin its work.
There were no new developments in
the matter to-day. The excitement oc-
casioned by the report of the commit
tee on Whiteside's speech has died out,
people taking sides according to their
friendship for Mr.. Clarke or the Ana
conda people.

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
Report Of the Election Of Mataafa
as King Discredited.

Report Of the Election Of Mataafa
as King Discredited.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE Off
GERS Of the steamer Maripoea, which ar
rived to-day from Australia, discredit
the cable from Australia stating that
Mataafa had been elected King of Sa-
moa.
THE steamer Janiuni, by which the
news was purported to have been car
ried to the nearest cable station" said
Captain Hayward Of the Mariposa, left
Apfa day earlier than we Now, when
we left Samoa no selection for King
had been made. Both Mataafa and
Malietoa claimed to have been elected,
and the Chief Justice was to give a
decision three or four days after we
left.
(which ever way the decision went,
trouble was expected, as the followers
OF each candidate vowed they would
fight if the other chief was made King.
In anticipation of trouble, the United
States Consul General and the British
Consul Make had given notice that the
persons Of the Chief Justice and of his
family and his private residence, as
well as the Supreme Court, are under
the protection of the American and
British flags, and any attack on them
will be considered an attack on the
flags
THE natives were coming into Apia
by the thousands while the Mariposa
lay there. Mataafa has a following of
about 10000 warriors, while Malietoa
has only about 5000. They were all
killing pigs and laying in stores of pro-
visions, as we'll as Furnishing UP their
weapons and getting ready for a fight.
The British man-of-war Ringdove and
the German gunboat Bussard were in
port and ready for an emergency. When
we were there it looked very much as
though there would be fighting over
the kingship before it was all over and
done WITH

DREYFUs CASE.
The Court Of Cessation Will be AL
most Unanimous for Revision.

PARIS, JAN I'm. Quesnay De
Beaurepaire, the former President Of
the civil section of the Court Of Cas-
sation, follows up his attack on the
criminal section of the Court of Casa
ton to-day in an article published by
the echo De Paris" in which he in
sinuates that Judge Loew President of
the Court, went out of his way to APP
point M. Bard reporter of the Dreyfus
affair, because he was sure of his par
TALLY, and that he also appointed
Dreyfusite Magistrates for other
branches Of the inquiry. Moreover, NJ.
Beaurepaire says the rehabilitation OF
Colonel Picquart by Judge Loew is tam
tamount to an uncalled for declaration
of the innocence of Dreyfus
Furthermore, M. De Beaurepalre
claims that Judge Loew displayed hos
tility and aversion to the Generals
when the latter were testifying and
expressed approval Of the attacks on
the general staff in the testimony of
an ex-officer who was removed for in
temperance. The charge is also made
that Judge Loew, in naming the chiefs
of the armies and the officials of the
War Office, put the questions with the
objection Of confusion, and that 9th
erwise he frequently showed bias.

M. Mazeaux, First President Of the
Court of Cessation, has been appoint
ed to investigate the latest charges Of
NJ. de Beaurepaire. In view of the
Governments attitude, it is possible,
that the numerous interpretations an
nounced for to-morrow's session Will
be allowed to rest until M. Mazeau's
inquiry is concluded, although M. Du-
puy, the Premier, will announce his
readiness to answer all questions i'm
mediately.
The "Liberte' to-day quotes "a per-
sonage closely connected with the
Court of Cessation as saying that the
inquiry into the Dreyfus case is about
finished; that a decision may be ex-
pected early in February, and that it
will be almost unanimously favorable
to revision Of the trial.

it's culture was q secondary matter. No one imagines, of course, that the carnation mania is going to assume any such proportions as that, but there is no guessing to what extreme a fad will be carried when richer New York once takes hold of it.
 When the Lawson carnation was ex- hibited at the New York Florists Club in March, 1898, no one could have for told for it the distinction it has achiey- eQ. It scored ninety-eight points out of a possible hundred, which was con- sidered good, but not remarkable. The flower was exhibited by Mr. Fisher. The specimens shown then were only about three inches in diameter. Since then the flower has been developed to four and four and one-half inches. It's color is a beauti- full cerise pink. It has a sturdy stem and most remarkable vitality. Some of the cut flowers have kept perfectly fresh for fifteen days.
