PEACE TREATY
Ratified in the Senate By Over
 Two thirds Majority.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The peace treaty was ratified by the Senate of the United States Monday after noon, immediately after1an exciting executive session. Ayes stood'.57, noes 27. If one vote would have been different the treaty would have been defeated, as two thirds was needed.to carry.
 Senators Proctor. Cannon, Wilson aLd Wetmore, who We're favorable to the treaty, and White and Turpie who are against it, were all absent al the time of the. voting. The above move caused much rejoicing here, as this ends the war with Spain, and practically stop the in- surrection in the Philippines.

AN IRON MOUNTAIN FREIGHT COLLlDES WITH A PAS
 SINGER TRAIN.
NEAR ALEXANDRIA,, LA.
Three Persons Reported Killed and Several Injured Full Particu-
 lars Not Learned.

This morning about II o'clock the Iron Mountain wrecking train pull- ed into the depot in this city. Att tached to same was 3 passenger coach bearing Superintendent Mckee and several gentlemen un- known to the writer. supt. Mckee went iato the depot and soon came out again. He was reading 8 dis patch and seemed Q be excited.
 A Graphic reporter approached him and isquired of him where he was bound for. He ouly waved his hand and said, Don't bother me, , and then boarded his car ard the train pulled out. The south bound passenger train was delayed twenty minutes by the wrecking train.
 From passenger who came down from Little Rock this morning we learn that the cause of 5upt. Mckee 5 sudden visit was head end collision near Alexandria, which occurred about 5 o'clock this morning.
 The particulars as learned are as follows: The north bound Iron Noun tain passenger train which is due here each evening at4:45 o'clock was side tracked to leta south bound freight pass. It is reported the switch was left open and the freight dashed into the passenger. demol- ishing the engines and a baggage car and killing three people. The above has not been confirmed, but our informant learned It while at the depot in Little Rock this morning. He also said Mir. Mckee was accom- panied by several doctors.
 Another very strong assurance that there was wreck and a very damaging one.is that the depot off ciaIs at this place have notified tht cen trals of both phones to tell al inquirers that there would be nc train going t6 Little Rock this af ternoon.

By ten o'clock the Americans had apparently completely routed the enemy and bad taken several vill- ages; had destroyed hundreds Of native huts and had secursd pos session of the watec mair and reser- ,voias, distance of six miles.
 The Tennesseeans joined the firing line at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning and assisted in capturing Santa Mesa.
 Both sides cheered frequently dur. icg the engagement. The Ameri- can hurrahs' were almost inyari- ably mei by derisive ''viyas. Among the natives the Ygorotes were especially noticeable for their bravery, about seventy-three Of these naked savages faced artillery fire with their bows and arrows
 The scene at Manila when the alarm was given on Saturday night was wildly exciting American soldiers in the theaters and at the circus werx called out and the per- formances stopped. Fllipinos scur- ried everywhere and tue rattle of musketry and tue booming of cannon outside the city was plainly heard. The residents of the outskirts of ManilaEfocked into the walled cities with their arms full of articles. All the carriages disappeared as if by magic, the street cars stopped. the telegraph lines were cut and the soldiers hurriedly but silently marched out of the city to the stations assigned to them. The stores were closed al. most instantly; foreign flags are tC be seen from many windows and 8 number of white rags were hung by strings from Filipino buts and houses.
 The 4 mericans are determined not to give the Filipinos chance to reeuperate.

TRIBUTE 10 GARLAND.
A Leader of the CoIored Race Honors
 His Memory.

The following letter we clip from the Arkansas Democrat ot Mondays issue and is self-explanatory
 Pine Bluff, Ark, Feb. 1, 1899. Editor Arkansas Democrat.
 l deem it the most significant and grandest tribute of praise that could b. rendered to the memory Of the late A. H. Glrland, that around his grave, as sincere mourners, were grouped not only those bound to him by ties Of race, social relations or political affiliations, but also those who were related to the noble statesman simply by the ties of our common human nature. Such re- suit could only have been secured by a broad, catholic, Lincoln-iike char acter-by personality which was a living embodiment of the sentiment: Homo sum, hstns4ni nih1 me azienun, puto. MT. Garland's sympathies were not limited by race CT party lines, and the most striking and conclusive evidence of that fact is that one of tEe very first of his of ficial acts after being installed Gov ernor was to carry out al enact ment of a Republican legislature and to establish ab institution for the training of eolored teachers the Branch Normal College at Pine Bluff. This institution was founded by Governor Garland, and in more than one ins tance, upon the floor of the United States Senate, he referred as proof that the South was doing a very great work in trying to edu- cate the negro. During his entire congressional career Senator Gar land took an active interest in the institution, and it is indebted to !

In few minutes man came out of the stable carrying sack of coal which he bad stolen. MT. Paulette fired at hin, but from the quickness in which the man dropped his stolen baggage and mounted the high feAce he was fully aware that he had entirely missed his mark. Just as the intruder was going over the fence MT. Paulelte emptied the other barrel at him. The thief ex- claimed, T am shot, and tumbled over the fence head first. Mr. Pau lette ran out the rear gate expect ing to find tae deed thief, but he found only a snow covered street.
 MT. Paulette is positive the man IS now carrying the contents of the second barrel of his gun.

Manila, Feb. 6, g 2. m.-0wing to the large area on which the brush of Saturday night'and Sunday occurr- ed, but few particulars have been received. The line, semi-crele, was about fifteen miles long. The first shot was fired by a Nebraska picket at a couple of Filiplnos who deliberatively attempted to cross the lines after being repeatedly warned away. This was evidently a deliberate plan to draw our fire and the shot was a signal for begin hing to fire all along the line.
 At midnight there was q lull in the firing, lasting until 3:45 a. m., when the whole Filipino line re opened fire. The Americans poured a terrific fire into the dark ness for twenty minutes and there was another lull until daylight, when the Americans generally advanced. During the night in response to Rear Admiral Dewey signals flashed across from Cavite, the United States cruiser Charleston and the gunboat Concord, stationed at Malabou, poured 8 dea fly fire from their secondary battery into the Filipino trenches at Caloocan.
 After daylight the double tulreted sea going monitor Monadnock open ed fire off Malate and kept shelling the Filipinos' left flank while the other vessels shelled the enemy's right flank far several hours.
