MAY NOT BE RATIFIED.

Hay -Pauncefote Canal Treaty Said to BE
Pigeonholed.
MINNEAPOLIS, March s. Journal
Washington special says: It is said on
good authority that the Hay Pauncefote
canal treaty is not likely to be ratified
by the senate. It has been put into a
pigeonhole in the desk Of Senator Cush.
man K. Davis, chairman Of the foreign
affairs committee, and there will re.
main Indefinitely.
The claim is now made that the sena-
tor is not friendly to the treaty. Al
though not given to talking freely,
Davis has said enough to the fellow
members Of the committee to let them
know unmistake readily how he feels. II
seems that he was not consulted or
taken into the confidence Of the state,
department. while the negotiations were
in progress. Secretary. Hay felt himself
quite competent to negotiate the treaty
and the first Senator Davis knew Of it
was when it was sent to the senate for
the approval of that body. This was an
undoubted discourtesy to the chairman

fairs E. :95s$ ~

First Case Of Bubonic Plague

Reported.
Victim . China1narl and All.
Chinatown Has Been
Quarantined.
Said There IS No elihood the
Disease Will Gain a Foot
hold There.

5#s SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-A case Of
what is supposed to be bubonic plague,
though the exact nature Of the disease
is yet uncertain, has been discovered in
Chinatown. The patient, who is q Chi,
nese residing at 1904 Dupont street. was
immed diately isolated and the whole of
Chinatown has been placed under strict
quarantine regulations.
No fear is apprehended Of the spread
Of the disease, whatever it may prove
to be. q
A large force Of police is being kept
in Chinatown to maintain the quaran-
tine placed upon that section pending
the outcome of the archaeological ex-
animation Of those portions of the body
removed from the suspected Chinese.
The physicians interested in the case
are not yet prepared to make definite
statement regarding the case, but from
others who have had experience in such
matters, it is learned that the case will
hardly prove to be one Of plague as the
dead man has long been resident of
this city. Had he been a recent arrival
from the Orient, greater alarm would
be felt. The Gordon Of police now
watching Chinatown is kept there sim
ply as q precautio tionary measure. %

B HIS VIEWS NOT CHANGED.

Said the President Still Believes in Free
Trade for Porto Rico. h
WASHINGTON, March s. The Post
says: President Mel Kinley, in conversa-
ton with callers at the White House,
reiterated his belief that the people Of
Porto, Rico We're entitled to free trade
with the United States. He made it
clear that his views had undergone no.
change since he wrote his message to
congress. At the same time he said he
was unable to subscribe to the theory
that the constitution followed the flag;
that the Porto Ricans must have free
trade as a necessary legal right. When
he found that the house deemed it the
part Of wisdom, the president explained,
to impose q small tariff upon condition
that the revenues SO collected all be re-
turned to the island he had been CON
strained to yield to the Judgment Of the
house. s 5s

Senator's Showed Little Interest in Final
Disposition of the Financial Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 8. Probably not
in the history of the senate has there
been shown such little interest in the
final vote on q great measure as was
manifested in the final vote on the con-
ference report on the finance bill. The
measure was before the senate two
weeks, yet only four speeches were de-
liyered upon it, including Mr.. Adrich's
explanation Of the changes made in the
bill by the conference. The discussion
on the bill ceased 10 minutes before the
time set for the vote and business on
the calendar was taken up to ELL in the
time. The report was agreed to, a. to
26, majority Of 1s for, the measure.
Early in the session the Quay case was
resumed, Mr.. Simon replying to re-
marks by Mr.. Carter.

Boer Forcs I'm Front Of Roberts Increasing
Continuously. &c
LONDON, March s. Lord Roberts
still pauses in the neigh ghborhood Of Os-
fontein, while stores, remounts and
fresh troops stream toward him from
the Cape. The British position also
continues to, improve in the minor
spheres Of the campaign. Natal is clear
of Beers and Cape Colony is nearly SO.
The Beers seemingl are pursuing the
course commended by the strategists
and are concentrating to resist the Brit
ish main army. Various messages
from correspo with Lord Roberts
report that the enemy are increasing
continually on his front, extending, as
one correspondent wires, eight miles
and, as another says, eighteen miles,.
4 The lowest estimate Of their numbers
gives the Beers from 5000 to Il, 900,
with smaller bodies moving north and
south Of the British lines. Each army
is on both sides Of the Modder river.
Although the
Boess Have Mounted Eight Guns t5S
on the tops off kopjes and appear I'd be
4 too far away for inspection, the British
scouts report that they are. diligently
using pick and shovel Military opin-
ion is that their present position merely
screens a more easily defended one far
ther back. No one seems able to fathom
Lord Roberts plans, but it is suggested
that he is quite; willing to give the Beers
time to assemble all their men in order
to be able to give q sweeping blow more
effectively.
The t.round Tebin z in favor Of the an
nexation Of the Transvaal and Free
State, which is being promoted among

CAMPAIGN IN NATAL.

Butler Pushing His Forces Toward Van
y Reenan's Pass-Peace Rumors.
LONDON, March s. For lack Of news
from Field Marshal Lord Roberts, at
tention turns to Natal. It is reported
that General Butler has pushed forward
a force along the Harrismith railroad
toward Van Reenan's Pass, using the
railroad freely for communication. It
appears that the Beers intend to take
mp strong position in the Biggarsberg
range and contest that and the Glencoe
passes, although it hardly seems likely
that General Butler will attempt to
force these for the present. His plans,
however, are kept almost as secret as
those Of Lord Roberts. While waiting
for the important developments which
are daily expected to occur in the Free
State, rumors Of peace recur. The sec
5ond edition of The Times con-
tains dispatch from Cape Town which
says there is d crying need for an ex-
plicit statement by the British ministry
that nothing short Of annexation is in
tended in order to damp the, mis-.
