mends Its Passage.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The senate
committee on foreign relations agreed
to report the HayPauncefote treaty
amending the Clayton Bulwer treaty,
with an amendment granting author
ity for the defense of the canal by
this country when constructed. The
committee is practically unanimously
in favor of the amendment 10 the
the treaty. Some objection was
made by Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
but he will not oppose the measure
in the senate. Quite an elaborate re-
port has been prepared by Morgan,
which will be submitted to the senate
in executive session when the treaty is
reported. 1t is the opinion of the com
mittee that the senate will, with but
little delay, ratify the treaty as
amended.

Steps are being taken to preserve the
famous Calaveras grove Of big trees,
which will probably pass into the
hands Of large lumber firm which
has secured an option on this famous
California grove. 1t is the intention Of
the new possessors to build large saw
mills in Calaveras county, and they
will then turn all of the large trees,
which have been made one of the
points of interest to visitors, into lum-
Der, unless some immediate steps are
taken to save them. Various clubs and
associations in California are doing
theirlbest to save the great trees, which
are famous all over the world. 1t is
urged that national park such as has
been established in Mariposa and Tu-
lare counties would be most desirable
at this point.

DUBUQUE, March 9.-In a vault be-

Bishops Loras and Smith, lie the re-
mains of John Hennessey, first arch
bishop of Dubuque. The obseques
occurred at 10 yesterday morning and
were of the simplest character. There
were no flowers and no ornaments
whatever, even the high altar being
stripped of everything except what
was necessary in celebration of mass.
The same order was carried through
out the church, nothing appearing ex
cept black and purple mourning drap-

sence of music, only the voices of
hundreds of priests being heard in the
Gregorian chant. This was in accord
ance with the dead prelate's wishes.
The ceremonies were conducted by
Cardidal Gibbons.

was not uncommon in churches having

with taking part at a game of whist in
the church he attended. The church at
