THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TREATY.
Davis Amendment to BE Adopted
Others Expected.

1t is expected that the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty will be amended so as to specifically
abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t is
generally conceded that the Davis amend
ment will be adopted this afternoon by a
large vote, but it is not the intention to
vote on the treaty itself today. After ac-
ton on the Davis amendment number of
other propositions to amend will be consid-
cred and it is expected that the matter
will be allowed to drift along for awhile
until some definite determination is reach
ed as to the extent to which the treaty will
have to be subjected to amendment before
II can be ratified. The demands for amend
ments to the treaty are becoming more
pressing the discussion proceeds. pro-
vision for the distinct abrogatiOn of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty is said to be almost
certain of adoption and other amendments
may be insisted on before ratification.
An amendment for the purpose of making
specific abrogation of the Clayton-BulWer
treaty has been prepared by Senator For
aker. and 1t is understood that Senator
Spooner has a similar amendment. Senator
Foraker proposes also to strike from the
treaty the provision that the dcQuiescence
OF other powers be sought.
II is understood that Senator Elkins in
tends 10 offer an amendment providing for
the complete ownership and sovereignty of

CADET TAUssIG's RECOVERY.
Has Left the Hospital for Duty on
the Nashville.

Naval orders today record the transfer
of Naval Cadet Joseph X. Taussig from
the hospital at Yokohama to duty on the
gunboat Nashville. Cadet Taussig is
Washington boy, and a son of Commander
Edward d. Taussig of the Yorktown. He
was d student at the Western High School
in this city. and commanded the prize
company of that institution, which car
ried off the pennant several years ago. He
was afterward appointed to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, where he made
good record in his studies and became
very prominent in foot ball and rowing
He was attached to the Newark, when
that vessel was sent up to China at the be-
ginning OF the Chinese trouble, and served
with the land expedition under the COM
mand of Captain McCalla, which saw
deal of hard fighting between Tien Tsin
and Taku. He was dangerously wounded
and sent TO the Yokohama hospital for
treatment. For a long time his condition
was considered critical. However, the in
formation received today conveys the news
of his complete recovery and return to ac-
tive duty. Captain McCalla's report of the
fighting in China mentioned Cadet Taussig
for exceptional bravery and efficiency.

THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY.
Satisfactory Progress on the Work
Being Done.


According to Colonel Miller, the engineer
officer in charge of the water supply sys-
tenn of the District, the water served to
the people during the month Of November
was very turbid one day and clear the
other twenty nine days. He will undoubt-

corning the water served during the pres
ent month. The consumption and waste Of
water during the twenty-four hours ended

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 13.-Trading in
today's sock market was decidedly irregu-
lar in character, but in the main the I'M
dertone reflected good demand at de-
clines. London sent over slightly higher
range Of prices, but the demand from that
center fell off noticeably.
Realizing sales on a large scale were in
progress in nearly all the recently active
shares, and inside interests made no at
tempt to prevent a reaction.
The steady decrease in the cash holdings
of the local banks was the subject of some
concern among traders. and much of the
selling was traceable to fears Of higher
money. Several conservative houses noti
feel out-of-town clients that the interest
rate might be advanced at any time, ana
this action had the very natural effect Of
restricting new business. In spite of the SC
warnings, however, the call rate today
varied from Az to 51s per cent, and suffi-
Gent funds for immediate needs were Of
fered between those rates. The end of the
year has to contend with European settle
ments, as we'll as purely local needs, and
estimates as to probable developments over
that period are not reliable.
For the long pull the street is unanimous
ly OF the opinion that conditions are favor
able and the hesitancy and the selling are
due to nothing more serious than a belief
that an advantage Of 1 or per cent may
be gained by waiting.
The chief feature of strength in today's
trading was reflected in the Erie issues all
of which moved up to record prices in spite
of the yielding in other parts Of the list.
There were no new developments in the
coal situation, but the buying of Erie was
taken as positive proof Of the consumma-
ton of the Pennsylvania Coal Company
purchase. Reading issues and Ontario and
Western yielded under profit taking sales
and were not at all in sympathy with the
advance in Erie.
The southwestern issues were steady.
under commission house buying, but later
sold off with the weakness in the general
market. The grangers sold down under
professional sales, inspired by tight-money
rumors, and the Pacific group was weak
for the same reason. The railroad list lack
ed snap during the final trading and the
room offered prices down in consequence.
The Steel stocks failed to hold their gains
Of yesterday, and inside interests were cred
tied with profit-taking. The coming divi-
dendS certain common shares in this
group made a fair market for them on the
way down.
Traction stocks were sold from time to
time, but the gossip relative to leases,
guaranteed dividends and the like was
quite as confident as usual and served to at
acter
The market was under pressure during
greater part of the last hour, but the sell
ing at the low points was not significant.
Erie continued its advance during this pc
Rod in manner which indicated a transac-
ton in no way dependent upon money
