Want the Senate to Adopt Hay -Paun-
cefote Treaty.

New York. Dec. IA despatch to the
Tribune from London says: The fate o
the Hay-Pouncefote treaty is awaited
here with more interest than anxiety. Its
rejection will be regarded as sign that
the American senate is bent upon ending
rather than mending the C1ayton-Buiwe yer
convention and upon doing this in an Of
fensiVe way.
The British government did not fake
the initiative in opening negotiations for
d revision of the convention of 1850. It
merely responded in a most friendly spir-
it to suggestion from the state depart
ment that the time had come for adapt
Ing an antiquated treaty to altered condi-
tions in a spirit of mutual accommoda-
tion and good will. 1t conceded every
thing that was asked and merely stipu-
lated that the Suez principles should be
applied to any canal under American
control. The rejection of the convention
will be considered as an intimation that
the United States government does not
know it's own mind and that it does not
value the concessions made III response
to its own solicitations. The adoption
of fortiHcatins amendment will he the
signal for strong press agitation here
against departure from the S'uez prac-
tlce and the government Will have 8
powerful support if it declines to support
the treaty in a new form.

KILLED A GIRL,
GOES TO JAIL
BOY IN NEW YORK HAS THE
SYMPATHY OF MANY
WOMEN.

New York, Dec. 7.-Owen Squire, aged
IS, who was convicted last week of
mansaughter in the second degree for
the killing of Lizzie Hiergesll, has been
esntenced by Judge Moore in the Queens
county court, Long Island City, to only
four months in the county Jail.
Many women from Richmond Hill
pleaded for clemency believing the boys
story that the shooting was purely acci-
dental.
Squire lived with his parents IN Morris
Park, l.. /. In an ice cream saloon near
his home, on November 6, Squire delIber-
ately put his tiny rifle to the head Of
Lizzie Hiegersill and shot her dead. After
he had realized what he had done, he
made his escape and ran home. "A few
hours later he was arrested. He said the
shooting was accidental and he did not
know that the gun was loaded. During
his trial last week for manslaughter
about twenty women testified that the
shooting was entirely accidental. The
verdict of guilty of manslaugfiter in the
second degree came as a surprise to his
friends who expected an acquittal.

sale of imitation butter as the majority
could be. The only difference was that
the minority recognized the value of
oleomargarine as a wholesome and nu-
tritious article of food ana entitled to
a place as food product. He charged
that the purpose of the supporters of
the Grout bill was to destroy the man
utacture of oeomargarine, not to reg
ulate it's sale.
Mr.. Grout (V), the author of the bill,
at this point assumed charge of the
measure and spoke in support of it. He
declared that the purpose of the bill
was to suppress fraud in the sale of a
food product by preventing the colorins
of oleomargarine in limitation of butter.
Mr.. Grout said he did not think that the
enactment of the substitute would pre-
vent fraud in the sale of oleomargarine.
1t was decided today that when the
senate adjourns this afternoon it will
be until next Monday.
Mr.. Gallinger presented a telegram ad-
dressed to the president of the senate
from N. F. Thompson, secretary of the

Washington, Dec. 7.-Under the ar
rangement made yesterday, the Grout
oleomargarine bill, which was post
poned to allow the army reorganization
bin to be disposed of, came up for con-
sideration in the house Immediately
after the reading of the journal.
The bill makes all articles known as
oleomargarine, butterine, imitation but
ter or imitation cheese transported into
any state or territory subject to the
police powers of such state or territory.
1t increases the tax on manufactured
butter colored in imitation of butter
from 2 to 10 cents per pound, and de-
creases the tax on manufactured butter
uncolored from cents to 1-4th cents
per pound.
An attempt was made to reach an
agreement for final vote this afternoon
but it failed. Mr.. Henry( Comb who
is in charge of the measure, opened
the debate in it's support. He explained
the features of the bill. The increase
of the tax on colored imitation butter,
he said, the majority of the committee
on agriculture believed was absolutely
necessary to protect the dairy interests
or the country
Mr.. Henry produced figures to show
that the cost of manufacturing oleo-
margarine, including the payment of
the present internal revenue tax of 2
cents, was not more than 10 cents a
pound.
Mr.. Wadsworth IN. ", chairman of
the committee on agriculture, who with
six other members of the committee
signed the minority report against the
Grout bill, explained the substitute

Washington, Dec. 7.-There We're eight
bidders today for the construction Of
the five battleships and six armored
cruisers.
All of the bids We're within the limit
Of cost fixed by the appropriation
There We're a number of omissions from
the specifications in many cases, how
ever SO that careful inspection will
he necessary to determine which of the
bids are most acceptable. The proba-
bilities are that the successful bidders
for one or more vessels Will be the
Newport New company, the Cramps,
the Force River works of Massachu-
setts, the Union Iron works Of San
Francisco and, perhaps, Moran Bros. &
Co. of Seattle, Wash.
The three battleships authorized by
the act of March, 1899, were never con-
tracted for, owing to delays in the
procurement Of armor bids and in the
completion Of designs ana controversy
as to whether the new superimposed
turrets should be used in their con-
struction Inability to reach a salts
factory conclusion in regard to the
sheathing delayed construction of the
three armOred cruisers authorized by
the same act. These points have been
adjusted.
The five new battleships, namely the
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia and
Rhode Island, are divided into two
classes to compromise upon the con-
troVersy as to their turret system.
Three are to be sheathed and coppered
and will carry superimposture turrets;
these, too, are to be unsheathed vessels.
having the quadrilatoral arrangements
of eight-inch turrets. To meet the con-
tingency that the bids may be in excess
of the authorized cost, the bidders We're
invited to submit plans in each case
for both sheathed and unsheathed ships.
The sheathed vessels are to be of IL, ,O0B
tons displacement, with a length of 435
feet, breadth of rs feet 10 inches and
greatest draught of 26 feet. The un-
sheathed ships are slightly smaller and
on the same length, are IL inches
narrower and 400 tons less displace-
ment.
Both classes of battleships will COM
pare with any in the world not only

a speed of at least 10 knots which is
expected to run up to 1915 g great pace
