The new treaty with Great Britain,
like the Puerto Rican bill, Is giving the
republicans in the senate no end of wor-
ry. 4. side light is thrown upon the sit
uation and the t%ruculency and lack Of
manly craftsmanship OF the republicans
shown up by VIM. E. Curtis, a strong
administration supporter, in the Chicago
Record of the Goth inst. Speaking OF
the Hay Paunceforte treaty, he says:
"The report on the treaty will be
made by the sub committee to the full
committee at it's regular meeting to-
morrow, but there seems to be a disro-
sition on the part Of several repu blican
senators to dodge the issue until after
the fall election. They are afraid to
| vote in favor OF anything that concerns
England one way or the other. There
has never been such a general intimlda-
ton OF congress on any subject as ap
pears to exist today. Although the re-
publican leaders are predicting an over.
whelming majority for McKinley's re-
election and the democratic leaders are
admitting the probability OF such a re.
suit, there seems to be a state OF abject
terror upon the republican side OF both
houses on political questions. A dis
tinRuished senator, whose reelection has
never been considered doubtful, went to
the white house the other day and
begged the president rot to send in any
more treaties with any country, and par
tlcularly with England, until after tie
election.

long to gather when there's "a sensation.
and soon a throng OF people Oh the ground

undor the knee and the other was stra ght

A telephone message had SUNNI aned aid

The hum Of voices and other noises be-
came considerable when suddenly the
crowd was electrified to see the fecum-
bent figure on the wires. rise up and look
down Ia amazemeut upon the throng.
Lincman Clements declared that he hal
been testing wires ever zee the storm
forty-eight hours before. and he was tired
out. He had signalled the telephone Office
for a test OF the wires from the box on
the post whore he was. ley were busy,
and while waiting he had lain forward on
the wires TO rest. and had actually
fallen asleep and knew nothing Of the
sensation he had created. until awakened
by the noise.
Instead Of proceeding 10 work after he
had walked up. or instead OF coming down

declared that he was playing TO the

sation. Following as Il did upon the fatnl
tragedy of the day before. the Joke was
not appreciated. Clements maintains
that he was not taking nor Joking, but
