HAY-PAuNCEFoTE TREATY.
IL Is Again Discussed by Senators In
Secret Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lo--The Senate
spent almost five hours to-day in execu-
tive session considering the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty. There were FIVE or six speeches
made, some OF them by senators who had
not spoken hitherto on the treaty, and
others by senator's who had previously ex-
pressed themselves. Among the latter was
Senator Morgan. who returned TO his for
mer speech. celebrating somewhat his posi-
tion as 10 the effect OF the Clayton -BuIwer
treaty. He took issue with Senator Teller
as TO the purport OF the first clause OF that
treaty. claiming that II applied only TO
Great Britain's right TO fortify the Nicara-
qua canal itself.
Senator Teller replied at some length. as
serting that the provision was OF more gen.
eral import, as. he said. any one could as

Buchanan's views on the subject when he
was minister to England. The declaration
then made showed plainly. he said. that

STRIKE PRACTICALLY OVER.
Views of General Manager Nudge and
superintendent Ressegui.


TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 1O.-The officials of
the Senta Fe Railway say the strike Of
telegraph operators is practically over.
The operators themselves continue in the
belief that their case is a winning one and
say the prospects look better now than
they have been any time yet.

sanguine that the strike is at end. I'VE

fornia lines the operators have returned
TO work: on the Southern California and
San Joaquin they went out when the order
10 strike was sent, but went back shortly
afterward. They have no grievance and
are under contract. On the Santa Fe-Pa
cific division there are about fifty opera
tors out, according to our information.
One hundred and twenty-three men went
out on the Outline in the original strike.

General Superintendent Resseguie said de-
fections of the operators seem to have been
strongest OH the Oklahoma and Western
divisions. Vacancies were nearly all
filled up on the Chicago division yester-
day. said he, .some of the men who went
out are already wanting to be taken back
into the service of the company, but their

MERELY AROUSED HATRED.

Special Correspondence OF the Journal.
PEKING, Oct. 27.-The international coll

arousing the hatred of the natives. This is
a city that must be reckoned with in all
Chinese problems. In the time of the Kins
In the ninth and tenth centuries 1t was the
seat of the imperial government. There is
an ancient palace here with truly imperial
gardens, and here the viceroys have lived
in great state. Massive walls surround the
city, which has a population of between
100000 and 100000.
At the time of the Boxer uprising Poa-
Ting-Fu was the terminus of the new rail-
way running from Peking. 1t was the place
where the missionaries were invited to the
yamen for protection. and then treacher-
ously murdered. Miss Gould and Miss Nor

with revolving atrocity. This was the first
instance In the history OF China that Ameri-
can missionaries have been killed by the
people. Contrary to popular belief the
Chinese people have always been able to
discriminate between missionaries. and
have steadfastly looked upon ours as their
friends. Many an American missionary
has saved himself from an ugly Chinese
mob by proclaiming his nationality.
The Pao-Ting-Fu massacre of mission
aries took place because the Boxers. beaten
off from the fortified Catholic mission at
Chen-Ting-Fu, about thirty-five miles
southwest of Pao-Ting-Fu. became frantic
for some kind of prey. At this latter city
they found the terminus which represented
to them the greatest visible sign of the
invasion of the distrusted and hatred for
elgner. They drove the Belgian engineers
back. Blind with hatred and the lust of
blood, these Boxers failed to discriminate
and the American missionaries. to the num-

STATEMENT BY Won BUELOw.
Germany's DecIination to Become In.
voIved i'm south African Affairs.


BERLIN, Dec 1O-The imperial chan
cellor. Count Won Buelow. replying in the
Reichstag to-day to question on the sub
ject of Mr. Kruger's failure to be received
by Emperor William, said the government
did all in it's power to ward off war and
left the two republics I'm no doubt to
the state Of affairs in Europe, and as to
German neutrality. When, in 1899. the
uuestion of arbitration seemed not alto
gether excluded, the government recon-
mended it to Mr. Kruger. He thought the
time had not yet come. When Mr.. Kruger
later sought intervention his feelings were
highly inflated for the Dutch and German
governments. For the German government
II was lost time to give advice. Germany
was convinced that any step of a great
power at that moment would be critical
and lead to no result. There was no use
for u.s." said the chancellor. "to pinch our
fingers between the door and the hinge
The chancellor added that when the sug-
cestion of mediation was made to Great
Britain by the United States, in a. quite
gently worded inquiry. 1t was rejected off,
cially and categorically. Intervention might
have led to war.
Delcasse, the French minister of foreign
affairs, to Mr.. Kruger. as France will in
no case take the initiative, but would not
oppose it when certain eventualities be-
came known. provided they are calculated
TO serve French interests" The chancellor
thereupon remarked that he could not have
dealt with the situation better himself.
Ovations TO Mr.. Kruger in Germany, he
pointed out, would have displaced interna-
tional relations and served no purpose of
Mr.. Kruger or of Germany. Germany was
not bound TO Great Britain by a hairs
breadth more than Great Britain was
bound to Germany. But TO act the Don
Cuixote against Great Britain would be a
piece of folly for which he would not be
responsible.
Although the Kruger matter will be taken
up again in the Reichstag Count Won Bue-
lows speech. evidently prepared with great
care, was so overwhelming I'm its array OF
powerful facts that it amounted TO a sweep
ing victory over the entire opposition. The
imperial chancellor's involuntary hunor
and his particularly apt quotations extorted
hearty laughter from his bitterest op-
ponents. So far as German policies go the
incident Is closed. At all events this was
the evident opinion OF the Rechstag when
adjournment was taken at late hour.
