SENAlt WILL ADOPT TREATY
 DURING WEEK Indications Are That Pfacti- ca|y No Opposition Will
 bs Developed RECIPROCITY IS SLEEPING From Being for Time the Subject Most Likely to Attract Atten- ton 1t Takes Back
 Seat.
RECIPROCITY IS SLEEPING

Washington, December S.-The only measure of importance which the Sem ate has on It's calendar for the present week is the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty, making provision for the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty and opening the way for the construction of an isth- main canal by the United States. Acting for the committee on foreign relations Senator Lodge will ask the Senate to go into executive session tomorrow for the consideration of the treaty and each day thereafter until the convention is dis posed of AU
 It can be said that at this time the prospect Is very strong that the treaty will be ratified, and 1t now looks as if this result would be secured after com paratively little delay. There will be document will be criticised as undesira- ble. but there Is no probability of cap tious opposition. The criticism will be along the lines indicated by Senators Money and Bacon in the committee on foreign relations at it's meeting on Fri day last No Senator thus far, however has shown a disposition to carry his ob- jections to the point of ultimate effort to defeat ratification.
 South May Not Object.
 The principal authors of the criticism of the treaty are Southern Senator's who are generally very anxious for the con- struction of the canal. They find that all canal legislation will be tied up until action can be secured on the treaty and they are, on this account, less liable than they otherwise would be to do anything to delay action upon the treaty itself. The most active friends of the treaty now claim that ratification will be se- cured during the present week and the opinion is very general that ratification will be obtained before the Christmas holidays
 Reciprocity Will Wait.
 Beyond the consideration of the treaty very little business will be undertaken be- agreed that the question of reciprocity will go over until January, probably with out so much as being mentioned and 1t may be added that from being for time the subject most likely to attract early attention 1t has taken a position among the matters which will not be vigorously urged. When the reciprocity treaties do come up for consideration there will be persistent opposition to the agreement with France and to that with Great Bri- tain covering the West Indies. There is not so much feeling over the conventions with the South Am erican republics.
 The present outlook also is against any immediate action in the senate looking to tariff legislation for the Philippines and there are some indications that the Senate will wait upon the House of Rep resentatives in this matter.
 Probably the Chinese exclusion act will be reported from the committee during the week.
 The nomination of Attorney General Knox will be reported at the first execu- tive session, but immediate confirmation probably will be antagonized by some senators.

 GROWTH OF TRADE
 REAL INTEREST OF ENGLAND "The real interest of the English peo- pie is in extending tie domain of Eng fish commerce, not in extending the do- main of the English crown. The growth of English trade with this country since the establishment O. our independence has been the greatest commercial ex- pansion in the world. Contrast the bene- ficient results which have flown from that sepuratlon with the results already borne by the attempt to al nex forcibly lHc IIdStrNddi tHu tic SSAt 6ioNtA AS" suits foreshadowed by it.
 Disaster to the English people lies not in the defeat of this enterprise. but in it's success If the South Afri- can republics were subdued and the women now confined in captivity
 must be returned to the soil To maintain authority over these peo-
 pie resenting the very act would re-
 quire the maintenance of huge
 army and such an army could not
 be maintained without establishing
 compulsory military service in Great
 Britain. The establishment of com
 pulsory military service In England
 would be the ruin of the British con-
 stitution. The name of England
 might remain to distinguish a po-
 liticaI division of the earth's sur
 face, but not to describe a country
 of constitutional freedom. Civiliza-
 ton can be delivered from this cloud
 which darkens it's horizon if the con-
 science of the English people be
 awakened. To do this the most ef-
 fective means is to show them that
 the people of this country don't
 sympathize with the scheme of con-
 quest which the English government
 has undertaken.

It would not be neces- sary to draw the sword, to make any threat of armed intervention or to take an unfriendly attitude.

IN CARROLL COUNTY.
Reported Discovery Of OF ON the Farm
OF Mr.. Pickett.

A Huntingdon special of last
Saturday to the Nashville Banner
says:
Considerable excitement prevails
in the neighborhood of the farm of
w. r. Pickett, two miles south Of
town, on the Purdy road, and also
in this city, over the reported dis
covery of oil on the farm Of Mr..
Pickett Tuesday a man drove up
to Mr.. Picketfs house and asked
permission to inspect his land.
The man was a stranger and insist
ed upon going alone. Permission
was given and the stranger went
directly to a meadow, where MIR.
Pickett had some time ago dug a
we'll and had to abandon it on ac-
count Of its peculiar odor and the
oHensiyeness of the water. The
stranger was absent about an hour
and upon his return told Mr.. Pick
ett that he was an agent of the
Standard Oil Company. He would
give no further information and
drove away. The discovery Of oil
near Jackson gives color to the re-
ported find in this county and an
investigation will be made at once.
A peculiar fact in connection with
this is that direct line from the
oil fields in Ohio to the newly dis.
covered oil wells at Beaumont
Texas, passes through Carroll
County in this vicinity, which
would indicate that this line is the
course of an immense vein Of oil

A SNAKE STORY
jackson Whigl

Jackson Whig.l
Capt. P. b. Wilkinson, OF the
Illinois Central Railroad, tells the
following snake story, and most
people, knowing the natural mod
esty of the captain, will except il
without the proverbial grain of
salt. He said:
"a friend Of mine found large
rattle-snake one day with a heavy
rock lying upon its tail. He did
not kill the reptile, but released it,
and was surprised to see the snake
follow him. 1t went home with
him, ate from his hand, and at
night, in gratitude, would coil upon
his feet and act as guard. On one
occasion late at night he heard an
unusual noise in his room, and upon
striking a light found that the
snake had coiled around the leg of
burglar, and had its tail out at
the window rafting for the police"
We will state for the benefit Of
those not so well acquainted with
the captain, that he is not in the
habit of seeing snakes" and his
veracity is unquestioned. Ask him
about the story, he relates it.on all
occasions with more than pleasure.

RAILROADS AND POLITICS.

Many newspapers profess sur
prise at the prejudice sometimes
shown in Tennessee against the
railroads and kindred corporations,
but when it was shown in a recent
bribery investigation in Nashville
that the railroads used lobbyists
and were expected to pay notes for
members Of the Legislature so as to
get a string on them, there is small
wonder to the average man that
there is not stronger feeling against
such corporations who use corrupt
means to effect legislation. Let
the railroads keep out Of politics
and all feelings will die.-Paris
Press.
If the Press had wanted to be
perfectly fair it should have stated
thata professional lobbyist who was
not employed by the railroads went
to them and asked for money to

and the representative of the road
declined to put up the money or
have anything to do with the mat
ter. When bills were proposed

their attorneys came before the
committees as railroad attorneys,
and not as lobbyists. If any rail-
road in the State spent a dollar to
influence legislation, or employed
any other than their regular attor-
neys, no evidence of the fact was
developed by either Of the inyesti-
eating committees.
Fortunately for the State preju-
dice against railroads is rapidly dy-
ing out since the roads have stop
ped the emplovmentof professional
lobbyists and rely entirely upoE
the intelligence and fairness Of the
people and their representatives.
The people are not afraid of the
man who comes openly before a
committee and pleads a cause upon
its merits, but they have a right to
fear the lobbyist who interviews
representatives privately and alone.
