Washington, April ll.-Thers is a
prospect that the Nicaragua canal bill
may be considered and passed by the
House at this session, although the
chances of the bill do not seem so good as
they did at the beginning Of this Con-

leaders have net been anxious to press the
bill In the House until the Hay

While the detectives were sitting
around the Office waiting for the SER

details, one Of the men, an old sleuth,
whose hair has grown white with
ahadowing criminals, suddenly gave q
loud sneeze that made the incandes-

the faces Of his hearers caused the old
detective to tell the story Of the cost

said, "about the police in Atlanta

bank robbers heading this way. They
had robbed bank in the East, and

RESULT OF SENATE
 EXECUTIVE SESSION Hay-PaunOefOte Treaty VIII be Voted Upon Thursday THE POLICING AMENDMENT Question of Protection of Nicaraguan Canal Will Be Voted Upon First.
 Senator Morgan Will Then
 Conclude His Speech.
THE POLICING AMENDMENT

Washington. December 1.-The develop ments in the Senate in executive session to- day in connection with the Hay -Pauncefote treaty were:
 An agreement on the part of the Senate to vote on the amendment offered by the Committee on Foreign Relations providing for the policing of the canal on next Thurs day at o'clock. An amendment was offered by Senator Teller, striking out the treaty prohibition against the fertilization of the Nicaragua Canal when constructed.
 The conclusion of Senator Morgan s speech.
 A speech by Senator Teller in opposition to the treaty.
 The agreement for a vote on the commit tee anne ndment was secured soon after the executive session bgan. It was reached by unanimous consent as the result of re- quest made by Senator Lodge.
 Senator Teller spoke for about two hours, giving notice of his amendment at the be- ginning of his address. The amendment suggested relates to section of article 2 of the treaty. As that section now stands it reads as follows:
 'No Notifications shall be erected com manding the canal or the waters adjacent. The United States, however, shall be -at liberty to maintain such military policy along the canal as may be necessary to protect it against lawlessness and diSor- der"
 The Colorado Senator's amendment read as follows:
 "The United States shah be at liberty to maintain such military force along the canal as may be necessary to protect 1t against lawlessness and disorder"
 MT. Teller contended that if the United States desired to build the canal, it should proceed to do so without trying to secure the consent of Great Britain He said that the opinion of Secretary Hay that the ab- rogaton of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was necessary as preceding performance after all was only the opinion of one man, and he quoted from public documents to show that former secretaries of state hau diff fered in their opinions in this respect. He Also showed that in some instances there had been breaches of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
 Replying to Senator Morgan, Senator Tel Ter expressed the opinion that Great Brit ain never would permit her resentment of independent action by the United States to lead her to begin hostilities because her material interests in maintaining peace with this country are too great, but he ar gued that to ask England's assent to the construction of tine canal was to admit that country had right to express its dessent. That position, he said, would never be accepted by the people of this country.

DELIBERATE MURDER.
Negro Preacher Killed Alleged Ira
 ducer of His Home.

A sensational murder occurred at Car penter's Camp No 4, on the Ensley South ern Railway, ten miles from Ensley, We'd nesday, the victim being Amos Nacklin, a negro, who was shot and killed by Zeb Winkfeld, a negro preacher, who acted with deiiberation. It seems that Nacklin was attentive 10 Winkfelds wife, which came to the latter's ears through the gos- sip of the camp, and greatly aroused him. Meeting Nacklin on Wednesday, he in- duced him under some pretext to accom- pany him into the woods and shot him in the back and shoulders, producing instant death. The negro's body was found some hours later, when it was discovered that Wiakfield had fled. The murder was report ed to Coroner Paris, who organized jury before which the above facts were brought out After hearing the evidence verdict was rendered, fixing the responsibility on Winkfeld.
