Washington, Dec. IA. - The Schley
court of inquiry is nearing the end Of
its labors, and, while it is impossible to
secure from the members or from the
navy department statement as to
when the report will be submitted, 1T
is believed that it cannot be delayed
more than thirty-four hours. 1t was
said at the department yesterday af-
ternoon that at the close of office hours
the report was not finished. 1t is the
intention of Secretary Long to have
typewriter copies of it prepared i'm
mediately for the press. Although
clothed with reviewing authority, Sec
rotary Long has said that he will not
exercise it in this case. The report
will be given to the public without the
slightest change and without any in
dorsement in the nature Of a review of
the proceedings. The court was again
in session yesterday, though Admiral
Dewey did not attend the afternoon
meeting. Capt. Iemly the judge advo-
cate of the court, paid a visit to the
court rooms and carried away some
papers which, while connected with the
case, were not the report of the court.
He has not yet signed the report, as
he expects to do.

Tacoma, WASH, Dec 14.-Ienry De-
mond, student at the state university,
who died a short time ago under what
appeared to be ordinary circumstances,
is now known to have starved to death.
Investigation has proved that Demond
had wife and child, whom he left des-
tirlte. He was anxious to secure bet
ter education and entered the UNIVERSE
ty, saying nothing to his companions
about his poverty. His resources were
not sufficient to support himself and
family until he could graduate. The
harder he studied the less he ate, and,
without realizing his weakened con-
dition, he kept on studying until he
broke down and died.

CONGRESS IS SURELY IN EARNEST
PREDICTIONS BASED UPON THE
SENTIMENT DISPLAYED IN
CONGRESS-.
TREATY CERTAIN TO BE RATIFIED
SENATE AGREES TO VOTE ON
RATIFICATION NEXT
MONDAY.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Congress Is in
earnest regarding the isthmian canal
project, and it is confidently predicted
that the work of constructing the big
ditch will be inaugurated next summer.
Yesterday the senate displayed Its
feeling in the matter by unanimously
agreeing to take vote before adjourn
ment next Monday on the new Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
That the instrument will be ratified
and thus open the way for the con-
struction Of a canal across the 1sthmus
is foregone conclusion. There is
some opposition to the new treaty, but
it is thought that not a vote will be
cast against it. This agreement was
reached after four hours Of debate,
Sufficiently Interesting
to insure the constant attendance OF
most of the senators. Senator Spooner,
who was one of the principal speakers
of the day, had just concluded when
Senator Lodge made an effort to Sc
cure a vote. 1t developed there were
other senators who desired to be heard.
The result was that the date for the
vote was postponed until. Monday and
for a meeting at IL o'clock of that day,
one hour in advance of the usual time.
The understanding is that as soon as
practicable after the senate convenes,
Senator Lodge snail move an executive
session and that the treaty shall have
the entire attention of the senate until
final vote is reached before adjourn
ment for that day. The principal
speakers yesterday besides Senator
Spooner were Senator Money and Sen
ayor Foraker. Mr.. Money, while find
ing
Much in the Treaty
to criticise, said that as he found the
fortunes of the proposed canal across
the isthmus inextricably fntertwined
with the treaty he could not see his
way clear to do anything that would
prevent or even delay ratification. The
particular features of the new treaty
with which ne found fault were those
retaining the neutrality provision of
the Clayton-Bulwer convention and
specifying police control of the canal
when built. He argued that the effect
of those provisions inevitably must be
to limit and prescribe the power of the
United States to control its own prop
erty in case of war.
Senator Foraker followed Senator
Money He urged the speedy ratifica-
ton of the treaty, and contended that 1T
meets all the objections made in the
! senate to the previous treaty.
