AMENDS THE TREATY.
Senate Deals Heavy Blow at the
Hay-PauncefOte Nicaragunn
Canal Agreement.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Behind locked
doors the senate at three o'clock Thurs
day afternoon by vote of 65 to IL de-
cided to amend the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty by inserting the additional sec
tion reported last spring by the com
mittee on foreign relations, which is
popularity known as ''the Davis amend
ment." The action is the most signifi-
cant taken by the senate in many
years. 1t is at direct variance with the
wishes of the administration and will
have, in the opinion of most students
of international law, an effect upon the
Nicaragua canal project that may pre-.
vent its contamination. The Davis
amendment is as follows:
Insert at end of Section V, of Article 2
the following: 1T is agreed, however, that
none of the Immediately foregoing condi
tions and stipulations in sections numbered
one, two, three, four and five of this article
shall apply to measures which the United
States may find 1t necessary to take for Sc
curing by its own forces the defense of the
United States and the maintenance of pub
lie order"
This amendment, it is believed, will
render the treaty Objectionable to
Great Britain.
Washington, Dec. 15.--The senate
committee on foreign relations Friday
held special meeting and decided to
recommend further amendments to
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The com
mittee adopted an amendment sug-
gested by Senator Foraker, which de-
clares that the HayPauncefote treaty
supersedcs the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and also strikes out the Hay-Paunce-
fote agreement article 3, which per-
mits the submission of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to other powers and
invites their accentance of it

of Trade, say: Holiday trade has in
creased moderately, and In wholesale staple
lines no relapse is seen either in volume

the rest OF the country, for some recent
losses from failures in the textile markets

HARRISON'S VIEW.
Ex-PresIdeDt Declares That the Con-
stitutiOn Applies to the Phil
pines and Porto Rico.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. Is. - Ex-
President benjamin Harrison Friday
night attacked the administration for
taking the position that the constitu-
ton applies to the United States, ex-
elusive of Porto Rico and the Philip
pine islands. He declared that these
islands are part of the United States
and that the constitution extended to
them in spite of any treaties or con-
gressional Legislation. To levy taxes
in Porto Rico that are not uniform
with taxes in other parts of the Unit
ed States, according to the former
president, is to deny that Porto Rico
is a part of the United States. He
said that while some people declare
that the sound of Dewey's guns in
Manila bay heralded new mission
for this country, to him it seemed bet
ter to let it herald the same old mis-
sion sounded by the guns of Washing
ton. Mr.. Harrison spoke under the
auspices of the Lecture association of
the University of Michigan, and 5000
people heard and applauded.
