Various Senators Want Canal Built
Disregarding the Treaty.

Effort to Have II Day Set, AM

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec, 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-day
held special meeting and decided TO
recommend further amendments of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty
The committee adopted an amendment
suggested by Senator Foraker, which de-
clares that the Eiay-Pauncefote treaty
supersedes the Clayton-Bu treaty
and also strikes out of the Hay-Paunce-
fote agreement article 3. which permits
the submission of the Efay-Pauncefote
treaty to other Powers and invites their
acceptance of it.
Unless resolved into such form as te
make it an absolute dIscourteous matter
to be communicated, the pending treaty
ment by the President although the
administration has not the slightest idea
that the convention will be accepted by
the British Government.
Any expectation that the action of the
Senate yesterday would result in tn,
immediate retirement of Secretary Fla,
from the Cabinet is aegatived by the fact
that the Secretary has not resigned. and
according to his own statement, VIII Tot
leave the Cabinet at present.
When the Senate went into executive
session, Senator Lodge reported the TWO
amendments agreed upon in committee.
VIEWS DIVERGENT.
Senator Lodge made an effort to have
a day set for the taking OF a vote upon
the treaty. He suggested next Thursday
as the generally acceptable .ime but did
not succeed in getting the unanimous con-
sent necessary.
Senator Butler finally entered objection
Sena tor Lodge stated. however. thrt he
should press the treaty early and late
until a vote could be had. and ne after
wards declined to move an adjournment
from to-day until Monday because Of the
refusal TO allow day to be named for
vote.
Senator Cuibersou's view was to have
the treaty laid aside and the Hepburn
canal bill passed regardless of the treaty.
Senator Spooner said that he could not
accept the view that we should proceed
in the great work in total disregard OF the
existence of the agreement of 1856
Senator Lindsay spoke of the ratitica-
tton of the treaty without further amend
ment, saying that he was for il because he
considered some agreement with Great
Britain a necessary precedent of the canal.
Mr. Lindsay also announced his willing
ness TO treat with Great BritaiI for the
total abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty.
Senator McCumber also favored ratitiea-
ton OF the treaty without amendment.
Senator Elkius reiterated his views for
absolute independent action

absence OF the names OF .-nE Of the Off

the foreboGing that the four companies
of the F'usiier.s mentioned are in the
hands OF the Beers.
The War office officials evidently expect
a heavy casualty list. but they are hopeful
from the fact that the Dispatch does not
mention the capture of the Northumoer-

been escaped.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
A Firmer Feeling i'm Wheat, with
Steadiness In Corn.


CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-There was a firmer
feeling in wheat early on the steady
Liverpool cables, lid. higher, and light
er worlds shipments. 6,9S1. 900 bushels
and decrease Of 100000 bushels in the
amount afloat. The buying movement,
however, was of local character, and not
strong enough to sustain prices as the
market sagged and closed lower than last
night. While The foreign statistical re-
tuns were favorable to holders the do
mestic were bullish. The visible supply
increased 1.335, 900 bushels. and the prim-
airy receipts were 100000 bushels larger
than last year.
Clearances were 81, 600 bushels. Cash
sales were $780, geo bushels here; seaboard
reports thirty-six loads for export.
The corn market was an active one
within a narrow range, with prices clos
ing higher than Saturday. The nearby de-
liverieE were the strongest. The feature
of trade was buying of November by local
scalpers and the continued buying Of De-
cember and May by professional traders.
Cash demand was fair, 275, 600 bushels
here. and thirty-three loads at the sea-
board.
The demand for November and Deem
Der lard from packers was the prominent
feature in provisions. This buying was
Influenced by the present remarkably
light stocks and the continuation of the
good cash demand. The trade in pork and
ribs was of rather small volume, and a
slightly firmer feeling prevailed in SYM
patty with the hog market.
