DISCUSSING THE TREATY.
Senate In Executive scssion-House
on District Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The friends
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty occupied
nearly all of the time of the senate in OK.
ecutive session yesterday, Senators For
akcr and Morgan being the speakers.
Previous to the taking up of that trea'
~ the senate, for the purpose of clearing
its calendar, disposed of several Other
treaties of comparatively little impor.
tance. Five conventions in all were rati.
fled. Among the documents thus dis
posed of was an agreement supplement-
ary to the y-Pauncefote treaty itself
and extending the time within which il
may be ratified. Under the terms of the
original treaty the time for ratification
expired five months ago. The agreement
favorably passed upon yesterday extends
the time until the 4th of March during
which the treaty may be completed. Sen
ator Lodge, who had the matter in
charge, manifested some anxiety over
this treaty and evidently was somewhat
relieved when it went through without II
dissenting voice.
The house devoted the day to District
of Columbia business. The whole time
was occupied in the consideration of II
bill to change the terminal facilities Of
the Pennsylvania railroad in this city and
to provide for the elevation of its tracks
across the Mall south of Pennsylvania
avenue. The opposition was persistent,
but after much flibusSring the friends
of the bill succeeded in securing a recess
until IL o'clock today in order to CON
tinue the legislative day and complete
consideration of the bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house

Saturday. The opposition sought to re-
commit the bill with instructions to report
back measure reducing the revenue at
least S10,000,00 and including a provi-
sion for an income tax so drawn as to es-
cape an adverse decision of the supreme
court. The motion failed by vote Of
131 to 155. Thereupon the bill was
passed without the concurrence of the
minority, who refrained from voting. The
amendment placed in the bill to tax ex-
press receipts was defeated on a yea and
nay vote in the house of 125 to 139. The
pension appropriation bill, carrying
$145, go, was passed in exactly 13

The Greatest in the World.

Every State has increased in popu-
lauon, and the only city which has
apparently lost is the one which pad
ded its returns ten years ago and now
suffers for its folly.
The United States now has a larger
population than any European coun-
try except Russia; and the average of
our wealth and productive capacity
carries US far beyond that kingdom in
true greatness. Germany, among
European countries, comes next TO
the United States, but il can only
show a population of sa,a79,9or, or
about two-thlrds of our total. In area
the United States, with its new pos
session, is about as large as Europe.
In wealth It is the richest nation the
world has ever known.
