cOAsTWIsE TRADE

COASTsWISE TRADE
A very important question was raised
by a numbers Of Senat tors on the Demo-
cratic side as to the right Of the United
States to give a dlfferen1ial az rate to vessels
enea ged in our coastwise trade This
matter brought other Senators from the
Republican side Of the chamber into the
controversy, Senators PerAns and Nel-
son being among them: Senator Nelson
insisted that under existing law the
United States would have aSperfect right
to give to- the coastwise trade of .lis
country any benefit it migh see proper
in the use of the canal II was perfectly
well understood, he SAID, mat the ships
of a foreign nation could not do a coast.
wise business. and Great Britain had
made the treaty with full knowledge OF
this fact.
Senator Perkins made the assertion that
BY the acquisition or control of a strip of
territory through which the canal would
pass, the United States would acquire
rights which would subject that territory
to our coaStwise laws and said foreign
bottoms could not trade between ports OF
the United States and any portion OF the
territory through which The canal was
built. This view was coTbatted to a GER
tain extent by Senators Tillman and Ba-
con, the former intimating the option that
il it were true relative, tothe United
States, Great Britain, on account or her
Canadian possessions, and MEXICO, both
extending from oceant to ocean, also couiu
contend for similar privileges. This, he
thought, also would be true of any, South
American country whose territory eN-
tends from ocean to ocean,
Senator Spooner was decidedly OF a
contrary opinion and insisted that these
countries did not ACQUIRE any rights OF

route of the proposed canal. which ter
ritory was under the control OF. or Whlch

TWO ICE WAGONS
MAKE FINE BLAZE
This Surprising Incident Enlivened
Fulton Last Night-Crowd Was
DeIuged by Severed Hose.

Two ice-wagons were burned last night.
That was the record made by Fulton.
Fulton always does herself proud when
anything is expected of her. Last night
just before midnight, when the news
paper men of the city had finished their
star stories for to-day's papers. the alarm
of fire came in from Fulton. The city
editor had turned to the reporters and
asked if there were any more NOT stories
that had to be written that night; at
that instant the bells began to ring and
one of the newsSathererS replled: les,
there's one other now.
: TIE alarm called out Engine Company
No. 8. which is in Fulton. When the
fire lads reached the back yard of Mr..
Richard Eacho. on Denny Street, they
found two ice-wa CONS blazing brightly
and as cheerily as a Christmas fire. And
notwithstanding the well-direCted efforts

cut it in two just at that highly inter

this incident was that all the eager
bystanders were soaked. The motorman
