General Harrison at Ann Arbor.

ANN ARBOR. NIich.. Dee. 15.-Gen- .ral Harrison delivered lecture last vening before the Students Lecture as ociation of Michigan university upon he relation of the annexed territories ana heir civilized inhabitants to the United States. It was, General Harrison de Jared, not intended to be legal argu- aent on questions brought into discus ion by the Porto Rican bill, but rather .opular discussion of some of the views hat have been expressed in relation to he status of our annexed territories. The lecturer declared that we had done omething out of line with ourthistorlcai ,recedents-not in the way of expansion, ,ut in the character of it. He said we lad taken over peoples rather than lands, IS heretofore He held the view that the .iyiized inhabitants of the territories were citizens of the United States and hat the revenue provisions of the consti. ution relating to taxation for federal purposes applied to the territories.

WAR rAN REDUCTION.
Express Receipts Retained on the
 List.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The house yesterday adjourned without disposing of more than half the war revenue reduc- tion bill. General debate closed at o'clock, after which the bill was opened to amendment under the five minute rule A determined effort was made to reduce the tax on beer below the committee rate of S1.60 a barrel, but the ways and means committee overwhelmed the oppo sition. The committee, however, sus- tained two signal defeats. In connection with the beer tax MT. Payne offered an amendment in the language of the bill passed by the house last session designed to abolish the use of small beer packages, one-sixth and one-eighth barrels, but it was defeated by S5 to 94 after charges that its purpose was to crush out the small brewers. Another defeat occurred in connection with the amendment offer ed by MT. Henry c. Smith of Michigan. The bill abolished the 1 cent stamp tax on express receipts and telegraph mes sages, but retained tEe tax on railroad and steamship freight receipts. Mir. Smith $ amendment restored the tax on express receipts and altered the form of the section so as to compel the company instead of the shipper to pay the tax. The amendment precipitated a lively de bate, in the course of which Mir. Smith made q personal allusion to a United States senator who is connected with one of the, express companies. Mir. Payne vigorously fought the amendment, but il was carried-123 to 106.
 Throughout nearly the entire legisla tive day the senate was in secret Ses- sion discussing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. No business of importance was transacted in the brief open session eX cept the adoption of the house resolution providing for a holiday recess to eX- tend from Friday, Dec. 21, to Thursday, Jan. g.
 After reporting to the senate in eXecu tive session the new amendments to the Hay-Pauncefotc treaty as made by the committee on foreign relations, Senator Lodge made an effort to have q day set for the taking of vote upon the treaty. He suggested next Thursday as the most acceptable time, but did not sue ceed in getting the unanimous consent necessary. Senator Mason first made ob- jection, and when he withdrew it Senator Money suggested that Senator Morgan had given notice that he would ask that the vote upon the treaty should be post poned until a vote could be secured upon the Nicaragua canal bill. Senator Mor- gan, however, stated that he was not dis posed to make that contention any longer because he did net wish To do anything which would lead Great Britain to con clude that this country desires to take :, threatening position. Senator Butler thel entered objections to fixing time for | vote. Senator Lodge said that in view of the position taken be should press the treaty upon the attention of the senate early and late until vote could be had and he afterward declined to move an ad journment until Monday because of the refusal to allow a day to be named for s |

THE TREATY QUESTION.
It Will Be Useless to Present a Sub
 stitute to England.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Times, which regards the matter as ''check to Presi- dent Mckinley" and suggests that 'the new senate, meeting in March, may not consider itself bound by the present vote," says:
 Tn any case, our course is perfectly clear. MT. Mckinley is well aware that it would be q superfuous and unmeaning formality to present the mutilated Hay Pauncefote treaty. to her majesty's gov ernment. The proposal to give the Unit ed States military authority over the ca nal is analogous to that technicality re- served for Turkey under the Suez con- vention. It ignores such vital distinctions as that Egypt is a vassal of Turkey and that the exercise of the authority ill ques- ton requires to be sanctioned by the pro- tecting powers under the treaty of Lon don.
 England has made frank and liberal offer in the hope of removing any possi ble cause of discord. and,. despite the ar tion of the United States senate, we be- leve the course of Great Britain is appre ciuted by the people of the United States. If concessions are refused, we can only express our regret
 No other construction can be placed upon the action of the United States sen ate." says The Daily Chronicle, than that senators nave uellpefalelE ihaue ut their minds to force England into q false position and to make the refusal to ratify the -Pauncefote treaty come from this side President Mckinley, as usual, shouts with the larger crowd.
 ''If the United States go out of the way to break treaty engagements, such con- duct will come within tho definition ot an 'unfriendly act We are loath tG tl,iiia that the era of good relations with America is coming to an end, but if she were to take advantage of our complica, tions in South Africa and China after we had given our aid during her complica' tions with Spain, we could neither desire nor trust her friendship in the future"

IN SHORT CALENDAR.
Judge Bradstreet Presided in the D

Judge Bradstreet Presided in the Dis
 trict Court To-day
 Judge Bradstreet presided at short calendar in the district court this morning, Judge Cowell being disqual- flied by his interests in some of the matters that were to come up for dis cussion. A number of motions of minor importance were granted. At torney Carmody was appointed guar dian over Mary O'Donnell ct al in fore closure proceedings brought by the West Side Savings bank. The suit of the town of Waterbury against Mary J. Callahan has been settled. Attorney ThomS announced. This was q suit for taxes. In the two suits of the town against Contractor W. NJ. Huri- burt for taxes also. law days were se- lectel as follows for the defendants: May G. and the succeeding days for the following in this order: Attorney CarmOdy as trustee. Harriet Mitchell. II. W. Mitchell and William Tyler of Miildlebury. Mr O'Nei1l. representing the defendant. stated that these cases are seQuels to the failure of the Par sons bank and that Mir Hurlburt re- fuses to pay taxes on the property in- volyed simply because the Parsons bank case is yet in court and there fore it is unknown in whom the title of the property in question rests. The amount in the two cases is SSS odd.
 Next week being the last week of the term, Judge Cowell announced from his chair in the spectators gal lery that for the convenience of his legal brethren and to expedite matters he will hold short calendar next Thurs day. Mr O'Neill expressed surprise when he was not notified of the as signments made last week and that but for the notice in. the Democrat he would not have known that any were made at all. Clerk Root replied that it was not worth while to have list printed. there being only a few cases assigned for reassignment. It was de cided that hereafter all the assign ments should be published in the pa pers. The following assignments were | made for next week Monday: Earl Wilmot against James O'Brien; Tues day, Sarah Clark against Michael Hughes. Benjamin Payeur against Victor Kelly: Thomas Clere against Margaret Joyce. Court then ad- | journed.

KINBALL SCHOOL ENTERTAINED
The Hall Was Filled To It's Utmost
 Capacity.

The pretty little hall connected with the Kimball school of music was taxed to it's utmost capacity last night with an audience which was more than de- lighted by the excellent entertainment which was rendered by the following members of the faculty of the school: Leslie E. Vaughan. violinist; Signor Giovanni Tallarico. mandolinfst: George Yates Kells, baritone; Harry Ludlow Cooke. pianist. and Mrs Will liam Ellsworth Kimbal, accompaniSt-
 Mir Vaughan. who has pleased Wa terbury audiences several times before with his brilliant violin solos, never played in more delightful or charm ing strain than he did last evening. His several selections were heartily applauded by the large number pres ent. Signor Tallarlco's selections on the mandolin were sweet and delight ful and were favoriteS with the audi ence as eyinced by their plaudits. The piano selections by Harry Ludlow Cooke were simply exquisite. He is pianist of rare ability.
 In Mir Kells, alone vocal music had an exponent last night and a worthy exponent he was. His two baritone solos were Of an exceptionally pleasing and impressive nature. Mrs William Ellsworth Kimball was m efficient ae- connanist.

His Better Half'' Company at the
 Jacques.
 Another of those delightful concerts that have been present the last few Sunday nights at the Jacques is sched- uled for tomorrow evening, the con tributing artists being the members of His Better Half' company, which played last evening at Polls. The company is none other than the Aunt Hannah" company which recently played an engagement here with q Sunday evening concert at the Jacques and the satisfaction it gave on that occasion will be more than duplicated tomorrow evening. All the fine sing CTS that were with the company are still members, including Miss Ethel Tilson, who has one of the sweetest voices ever heard on the local stage. and they are prepared to furnish q program that will be better even than the fine one presented on that occas- ion It will surely be an attractive concert and ought to draw large au- dience to the Jacques.

THE FALL OF BROOKLYN BRIDGE

The Brooklyn bridge IA being weak
ened by electrolysis. Its four great
cables are live wires through which
wildcat currents are constantly flow
ing. These are escaping TO the ground
through the anchorages. which they are
eating away at an estimated rate Of
rine tons year. The conclusion Is
that the electrolytic effect must be over
come at once or the bridge may some
day fall Into the river or It
may have TO be closed. Health
is often undermined in a like
nlanner-by the neglect OF trivial mat
ters. Constipation. indigestion, dyspep-
sia, blliousnesa or nervousness should
be checked at once. Hostetter's
Stomach Bllters will do 1t. No other
medicine Is as good for all disorders Of
the stomach. Don't fail to give IT a
trial.
