Those IN British Columbia Run Out
Of Coal and Coke.
Tacoma, Wash, March 6.-Smelters
at Greenwood and others towns in the
Kootenay district, British Columbia,
are shutng down for lack of coal and
coke. They have been getting both
from the Crows Nest Pass coal field,
but shortage in both fuels now exists
in consequence of the passage of the
control of Crows Nest coal mines to
an American syndicate headed by J.
J. Hill. \
It is definitely announced that HILLS
syndicate has paid $50 per share for
controlling the interest in the Crow
Nest coal company and the manage
ment of the most important coal fields
of Wesern Canada thus passes from
Canadian to American hands. A large
part of the output will be used by the
Great Northern lines in Montana and
supplied to smelters at Great Falls,
Anaconda and as far south as Omaha.

although the desire to see the opening
exercises of the new senate was also
special attraction, particularly to
the visitors from out of the city.

Decision Involving the Right to IL.
cense Certain Elevators.
Washington, March Elm the Unit
ed States supreme court an opinion
was handed down in the case of w.
w. Cargill & Co., VS.. the State of
Minnesota. The case involved the
constitutionality of the Minnesota law
of 1885 requiring storage elevators
and warehouses on railroad lines, but
not at terminal stations, to take out
licenses and also making other regu-
lations concerning such institutions.
The opinion of the court was confined
entirely to the one point Of the right
of the state railroad and warehouse
commission to require owners of such
warehouses or elevators to take out
licenses and it was held that the
commission could legitimately exer-
else that function under the consti-
tuition. The opinion was delivered by
Justice Harlan.

had for some time been suffering from

in an adjoining room, was aroused by
a peculiar sound and going to her
fathers couch found him sitting up in
bed white with fear. He said he had
had fearful vision, and then fell over
unconscious. Physicians gave it as
their opinion that he had a nightmare

CONGO ANNEXATION.

Favorable Vote Is Expected in Bel.

Antwerp, March 4.-The Belgian
Socialist deputies have suddenly
changed their attitude in regard to
the Congo Free State, thus making it's
annexation to Belgium possible. This
result, which has hitherto been looked
upon as impossible, will be achieved,
It is confidently expected, when a
final vote on the question is taken
shortly after Easter. King Leopold
is known to be extremely anxious to
effect the annexation.

generosity of this attitude and the
probability of its favorably impress
ing the missionaries supporters in
Great Britain and the United States,
declares that nevertheless the Chi
nese are incapable of understanding
it.

ing, not in his own official capacity,
but as a member of the convention,
relative to the Cuban situation and
the islands relations with the United
States:
II regret that the senate has passed
a fiat resolution. 1t is most d1staste-
full and betrays total misunder-
standing of the situation. I am amaz.
ed at the reported declaration of Sec
rotary Root that the Cubans must
agree to the concessions proposed.
II do not believe that the conven.
ton will yield. Personally, will
never concede coaling stations or the
right to control our foreign affairs.
That would likely mean interference
in local affairs at any time and also
the maintenance of unheard of rela-
lions.
1--WE ask only the fulfillment of the
promise of the United States which
was accepted as it was made. I am
surprised at the utterly false state
ment in the American press, which
appears to be campaigning against us.
1T has systematically created the
impression that we are ignoring Presi-
dent McKinley's express desires and
failing to
Embody in the Constitution
his opinions as to the relations which
should exist between Cuba and the
United States. On the contrary, the
convention was instructed to consider
those opinions. Subsequently there
was a further suppression of facts
and a Fabrication of statements to
the attempt to convince Americans
that we should accept the terms
which Secretary Root presented. Hav-
ing rejected those, the senate's &C.
ton is intended to frighten us. Wheth-
er it will do so remains to be SEEM"
A demonstration has been planned
to show approval of the conventions
attitude and to pledge support to it's
policy. The Diario de la Marina COM
mends the conventions action and
says that the United States demands
showed the belief that there was an
expressed desire on the part of the Gu
bans to make the concessions.
THAT we should surrender our
purses on demand would be no sur
prise, because by force one is hanged,
but that we should wish them taken
is expecting too much. The delegates
have been as logical and dignified as
the government which rules by virtue
of Intervention"

Washington, March 5.-The last
Messrs. Carter and Wellington in
talking the river and harbor bill to
death. They succeeded in this. All
the other appropriation bills were
passed and signed by the president.
At noon Mr.. Jones (Ark) moved a
resolution of thanks to President Frye
for his impartial and courteous course
as presiding officer
The senate remained in continuous
session all Sunday night. Through
out the night there was a long and
determined effort to defeat the river
and harbor bill, led by Senator Carter
of Montana. When Mr.. Nelson pre-
sented the first conference report all
but the items for three reservoirs in
Wyoming and South Dakota, and the
Brazos, Tex, appropriation of $780,
900, had been adjusted.
After Senator Carter had talked for
four hours on the bill it was sent
back to conference. Before it was
again brought in other matters had
been cleared away, and the fight be-
gan in earnest.
Upon the second report Mr.. Nelson
announced that unless the senate re-
coded, the bill would fail, and he NOV
ed that the senate recede. Upon this
motion Messrs. Hansbrough, Stuart,
Mason and Wellington made speeches.
Then at 6:35 Mr.. Carter took the
floor. He said that impelled by a
strong sense of duty he felt he should
do all he could to defeat the bill.
when I examined the BILL" said
Mr.. Carter, II became amazed at the
stupendous character of it, carrying
$50,O0O,O00 CT the peoples money and
so much of this sum for places that
should not receive it,"
Then he added impressively:
"This bill will not pass unless my
strength fails before IL o'clock and I
am in a pretty fair state of health"
The result shows that Mr.. Carter
fulfilled his threat.

HOUSE FINAL HOURS.

Most of the Time Passed in Waiting
for Conference Reports.
Washington, March 5.-The house
adjourned sine die at noon. Its clos
ing hours were passed largely in re-
cess and in waiting for adjournment.
A resolution of thanks to Speaker
Henderson for his impartial and able
administration Of Office was offered
by Representative Richardson, the mi
nority leader, unanimously adopted
and fittingly acknowledged by the
speaker.
Very little interest attached to the
proceedings after midnight. Most Of
these being taken at frequent inter-
walls in anticipation of conference re-
ports on appropriation bills. The bill
carrying appropriations for the postal
service was finally passed, shortly
after midnight, and in the small
bill was finally acted upon.
There were few incidents to relieve
the dull monotony of waiting for the
conference reports. Soon after mid
night the crowds in the galleries
thinned out, and not more than a
dozen persons were in evidence during
the small hours in the morning. The
members, too, growing weary, grad
ually began to leave for their homes,
so that when o'clock came probably
not a hundred were on hand.

tween the Two Countries.

Washington, March 6.-The Hay
Pauncefote treaty, intended to replace
the Clayton-8ulwer treaty, relative to
the construction Of Isthmian water
ways, died at noon Monday. The
death was caused technically by the
fact that the last clause of the treaty
allowed only the period of time up to
March 4 for it's ratification. Neither
the government of the United States
or of Great Britain appears to have
made any formal effort to extend that
period. Though the treaty is dead
from the point of international law
it may still serve purpose. It is un-
derstood here that the British govern
ment either has or is preparing COM
munication to the United States gov
eminent based upon the senate
amendments, Analysing them careful
ly, pointing out their probable effect
upon the original proposition as seen
from the British side and perhaps sug-
costing some notifications. While it
is impossible to predict in advance of
just what attitude the state depart
ment will assume toward it, there is
reason to believe that it will be taken
in good part and that negotiations
will be resumed for the conclusion of
a new treaty with view to meeting,
if possible, the objections raised by
the senate to the original treaty.

plant that is being installed at the
Garfield mine will really be
benefit or detriment to the miners.
Heretofore the coal has been
mined by hand and the miner, if
he was given the number of cars
he could fill, made a fair wage
during the month, but now the
coal will be mined by machinery
and the leaders will be paid about
twenty-five cents per ton The
machine man will be renumerated
by the days work.
