CONGRESS.
A Synopsis of the Proceedings
of Both Branches.
TUESDAY, DEC. Is.


In the Senate. on Tuesday. the favor
of certain Senators for the Panama Cana
was manifested when Senator Tillman i'll.
tr0duccd resolution requesting the Pres
| idCnt Ia furnish all information and cor
reSpOndence between Colombia and the
| United States showing what steps, if any,
| had been taken to secure between them a
! treaty or modification of existing treaties
with 4 view of getting the right to con-
| Struct Il canal over the, territory Of Co
| lomhia. ,-.
In executive session this resolution,
amended by Senator Morgan's suggestion
calling for all the correspondence with The
| Panama Canal Company, including all Of
| ferS Oh the part of that company, etc,
was adopted. 1t is expected that it will
be shown that no steps have been taken
| by the United States to secure. any treaty
with Colombia, and that further inquiry
| will he made as to why the United States
had not arranged, as a precautionary
measure, for the building Of canal over
! the Panama route should the Nicaragua
route prove unavailable. The adoption of
the Tillman resolution may interfere with
the speedy passage Of the Nicaraguan bill.
The Senate in executive session also
ratified n treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, extending the
time of the ratification of the Hay-Paunce-
fotc treaty until March 4 next. Great
Britain could have rejected it on the
ground that its requirements had not been
complied with The time within which
the notifications should have been eX-
changed was Aug. 3 last.
In the House, the day was spent in con-
SideratiOn of District steam railway grade
crossing matters.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 10. ..-
In the Senate. on Wednesday. Senator
Lodge sought to obtain ratification of the
treaty with Spain. whereby the United
States would pay 100000 for the Cibitu
and CGgayan groups of islands, discovered
to be outside of the metcs and bounds
specified in the Paris treaty, although
they have been regarded as part of the
Philippine Archipelago.
Opposition to the requirement of any
more territory in the Philippines came
from Senators Bacon, Hoar and yelling
ton. Senator Hoar thought there was no
necessity for haste in action, Senator Ba
con wanted to examine the treaty more
carefully, and Senator Wellington said the
United States had already secured enough
territory in the Orient. Senator Lodge
explained that the islands were accident
ally omitted from the other treaty, and
the United States had taken possession of
them under belief that they were included
in the ccssion OF the archipelago, under
the Paris treaty; and the new treaty was
in the nature of quieting title. He argued
the importance and necessity of thu United
States sovereignty in the islands being
fixed, inasmuch as they were not far from
Borneo.
The treaty was laid aside.

EcumsnicaI Conference Devotes Attention
TO Liquor and Opium Trafac.

New York, April 29.-At supple
mentary meeting OF the Ecumenical
conference to-day the subject of the
liquor and the opium traffic" was dis
cussed. The baleful effects of liquor
and opium on the natives of every
country where missionaries are work
ing We're explained in detail by for
eign delegates. 1t was announced that
strong pressure has been brought to
bear on President Mckinley and some
of his predecessors to prohibit its sale
on lands over which this country ex-
ercises control-notably, the Alaskan
territory, Hawaii and the Philippines.
At Carnegie hall. during the after
noon, there was held mass meeting
under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.

Governor Taylor Faces His Accusers

Frankfort, KY, April Ex-Governor
Taylor returned here from Washington
and spent Sunday at the executive
mansion with his family But few
people We're aware of his presence in
the city till this evening, when he APP
pcared at the railroad station and
boarded a train for Louisville.
The local officers and those in charge
OF the prosecution knew that Governor
Taylor was here and the fact that a
warrant of arrest was not served up
on him is now construed to mean that
the indictment was returned in open
court the day after those against Fin
ley, Culton and others were returned.
but 1t was not entered on record and is
now known to be in charge of Judge
Cantrill.

KANSAS WILL SUE.
WILL ATTACK COLORADO IRRI-
GATORS.
Action In the United States Supreme Court
VIII he Taken to Prevent Further Ap-
preparations of Water From the Arknn-
sas River.

Denver, April 3o.-A special dispatch
from Topeka, Kansas, to the Repub-
lcan says:
Attorney General GODDARD left for
Washington to-day to present to the
United States Supreme Court next
Monday a motion for leave to file bill
In equity on behalf of the state of Kan
sas against the state of Colorado, to
enjoin that state from diverting the
waters of the Arkansas river and Its
tributaries for irrigation and other
purposes. The suit is to be brought
upon the authority Of Governor stan
ley, and service will be had upon the
governor and attorney general of Colo
rado.
This action on the part of the attor-
ney general is a matter of vital and
colossal interest to the settlers In the
Arkansas valley. This river hows
through thirteen Kansas counties,
forming n valley almost as rich as the
valley Of the Nile, containing 2,JoO,ooO
acres, and with the natural flow ana
underflow of the river in its unimpedeu
condition, this is one of the richest val
leys In the West
But the state of Colorado has for
many years pursued, policy of prac-
tically appropriating all of the water
which was by nature intended to come
down this valley through Kansas, and
to such an extent has this action on the
part of Colorado damaged Kansas, and
especially the Arkansas valley, that
Attorney General GODDARD has conciud-
ed to see whether the Supreme Court
can afford relief.
The contention of Kansas is that
when the part of Colorado east of the
Rockies was yet a part of Kansas ter
ritory, the common law of England
was by statutory provision made to ap-
ply, and that under this common law
riparian rights We're along the entire
course of the river established, which
future legislation was powerless to alb
rogate or impair
Kansas does not ask that the bitches
all be destroyed. or the property of
those Interested therein contiscated, but
asks that the state of Colorado permit
no more bitches to be dug, that 1t give
no more charters to persons for irriga-
ton canals, except for water and do
mestic use, and asks that the state be
restrained from building the canals and
reservoirs which it contemplates. and
as fast In the future as the charters of
its irrigation bitches expire. that they
shall not be renewed. and that no new
permits or authority or license be
granted TO divert the water, except for
domestic uses. This, in the course of
time. without loss to Colorado, will re-
store the condition of things and not
interfere with present vested rights.
The amount Involved in the suit Is
almost fabulous, because II the conten-
ton of the state of Kansas should be
| ovcrruled, then the state would suffer
In the future annual damages beyond
computation, which would be in addl-
ton to the great loss in revenue which
| the state is already suffering.
