The HAY-PAUNCEfOT TREATY
TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED,
Neither the United States Nor Eng
A New Treaty IL Dcnired-BrittAA
Government Prepares . Com m uni :
cation.

Washington, March 6. - The Hay-
Pauncefote treaty, intended to replace the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, relative to the
construction Of isthmian waterways. is
dead. The death was caused technically
by the fact that the last clause OF the
treaty allowed only the period OF time up
to March for its ratification. Neither
the government OF the United States nor
OF Great Britain appeared to have made an
effort to extend that period.
Though the treaty is dead from the
point of international law, it may still
serve purpose. II is understood here
that the British government either has,
or Is preparing, communication to the
United States government based ON the
senate amendments, analyzing them
carefully, pointed out their probable ef-
feet upon the original proposition as seen
from the British side and perhaps suggest
some notifications.
While it is impossible to predict in ad-
vance Of the receipt Of this communica-
tion just what attitude the state depart
ment will assume toward it, there is rca-
son to believe that it will be taken in
good part, and that negotiations will be
resumed for the conclusions Of new
treaty with view Of meeting, il pos
sible, the objections raised by the senate
to the original treaty.

Smashed the SnlO0n

New York, March Airs. Henry
Wortansky of Sccaucus, N. Y, smashed
the saloon Of William Ross in that town,
wonnding the proprietor. She was finally
arrested and held in 500 bail. The reason
that she went ON the crusade was that she
could not get her husband to stop fre-
quenting the place. Mrs. Wortansk y
found her husband in the saloon and when
he refused to come out she went into the
road and gathered up all the stones she
could carry. Then she walked up to the
windows and with two throws smashed all
the glass in front. The windows gone, the
next attack was on the mirrors behind the
bar, and these were quickly demolished.
Bottles Of whisky and other liquors met a
similar fate. Accidentally or pnrposely a
stone struck the proprietor on the head.

Chandler Attacked Clark.

Washington, March At the Satur.
day night session of the senate Senator
Chandler called up the resolution offered
BY himself declaring that Willinm A. Clark
OF Montana had not been duly elected to
the senate and was preparing to speak
upon It when Senator Allen suggested the
absence Of a quorum. Twenty minutes
were required to secure the attendance Of
majority Of the members Of the senate.
Senator Chandler offered a substituts
for the original resolution, reciting Srna-
tor Clark's former retirement from the sen.
ate. In his speech Senator Chandler
quoted from an address made by Senator
Clark in Montana last January in which
Senator Chandler was criticized in con-
nection with the senate investigation Of
Mr.. Clarks former election, Senator
Chandler being chairman Of the commit
tee on privileges and elections by which
the inquiry was made.
Senator Chandler declared he had done
nothing to warrant Mr. Clark's criticism
and he quoted the report made by himself
and also the majority Of the committee
to substantiate this statement. He de-
clared that Mr.. Clark's vacation Of his
seat was a virtual confession Of the Jus.
tice Of the decision OF the committee. II,
he ssi.l, Clark had been innocent he would
have remained for the senate's inquiry.
"His flight fixed a stigma Of criminal
ity upon Mr.. Clark which can never be
bloitcd out" said Senator Chandler.
Senator Chandler declared that Mr..
Clark had spent u 900 900 in his last elec.
ton. but said he had followed the plan OF
corrnpting voters before the November
election rather than to wait the meeting
Of the legislature to spend his money. Hc
said the facts could be asccrtained II the
senate desired to make an investigation.
lie charged gross, deliberate and will
fdi violation Of the Montana statute pro-
vding that returns should be made Of
campaign expenditures. To his mind tho
inference was clear that Senator Clark
had secured his election by corrupt prac-
tices and ii would be astonishing ii man
could be admitted to seat in the senate
when he had once been convicted of brib-
cry.
u
giving in detail his estimate Of the ex-
pendtures made by Mr.. Clark in his var
ious campaigns, placing the aggregate fig.
nre at S2,059, $50.
Senator Pettus briefly replied 10 Sena-
tor Chandlers speech, slying II was un-
timely and was a spectacle calculated to
teach bad lesson.
If he said, "a man Injuries another IL
causes him to hate that man, for every
time he sees that man he feels mean and
charges the feeling To the man he has
wronped. II is terrible. picture we have
had here tonight; let ns turn away from 1t
and pass on
Responding to this sally Senator Chand-
Ter said he had simply joined with Scna-
tor pettus in verdict that Mr.. Clark
should not he given seat in the senate
because he had been guilty Of bribery.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas presented the
credentials Of Senator w. A. Clark, which
were received and placed on file.

Vice President Roosevelt.
Standing upon spot hallowed by his
tory and in the presence of brilliant and
distinguished assemblage Theodore Roose-
Welt of New York was inducted into the
office of vice president.
The historic senate chamber, superb in
its white and gold beauty, was without
decorations Of any kind Not even the
Stars and Stripes were displayed official
ly, although, as the last words Of the
oath of office fell from the lips of the
stern visaged, silver haired senator from
| Maine, and Vice President Roosevelt fer
vently clasped his hand, the galleries were
splashed with the national colors, many
silken hand flags iiuttering bree1ly among
hundreds OF handkerchiefs.
As the new vice president dropped the
hand of Senator Frye he glanced upward
at his wife, seated in the executive gal
lery. She was the first of whom he
thought in this momentous hour, and to
her he looked for inspiration.
An instant later this vigorous American
and man Of letters and Of affairs faced

Not flaw in the induction OF the vice
president into office was noticeable. The
whole was perfectly planned and beauti-
fully executed.

Washington, March 5.-William Nc
kinley OF Ohio Monday was inducted into
the presidential office, being the eighth in
the illustrious line of presidents of the
United States thus accorded by the Ameri-
can people With a second and consecutive
term. Simultaneously Theodore Roosevelt
of New York became vice president OF
the United States. The ceremony that
marked this second assumption by Presi-
dent Mcinley to the cares Of state was
most impressive and full OF suggestions
Of the development Of the republic during
the past four years.
At 3 O'Clock a. m. drizzling rain was
falling and at dawn the heavy clouds al
most obscured the sun. About then the
clouds began to break, and in the course
Of an hour broad beams OF sunlight swept
the avenue. On the whole, the weather
promised to redeem the pledge of the
weather bureau that the day would be a
glorious one, the temperature being mil ]
and broad stretches of blue sky appeared
as the sun forced its way through the
clouds
The weather took change for the
worse before noon. The skies became
overcast and before | o'clock light rain
was falling.
While the president was speaking the
rain almost entirely ceased, thoug thous-
ands OF umbrellas we're still held aloft.

hoped the present operation will re-

An informal, but what resulted in a
most pleasant surprise party, was in
ficted upon Mr.. and Mrs. Cornell on
Tuesday evening. A large delegation
of officers and men visited them at their
pleasant home, and although taken
very much by surprise, their hospital
ity, as is always the case, was more
than equal to the occasion. The party
was really in the nature of congra-
tulatory one; heartfelt sentiments com
plimentary to host and hostess were
expressed; toasts in their honor were
drank, and songs were sung. The ex-
pressions of regard and esteem were
of that heartfelt character that could
not be mistaken and that serve to unite
in bonds stronger than steel the execu
tive officer with his subordin ates. Mr..
Glib was at his best: Mr.. Peasants
musical accompaniments as we'll as his
fine voice were much in evidence; and
Mr.. w are so far relaxed as to favor
the company with a song, showing the
possession of fine contralto voice;
Mr.. Gordon rendered q sentimental
song, which was appreciated. Mr..
Cornell responded in his hearty way
for himself and our ideal hostess.
Mrs. Cornell, though only home few
hours, surprised her numerous guests
with most appetizing COLLATION..
Taken all in all it proved one Of those
enjoyable social events which makes
one of the resting and pleasant places
in lifu's pathway, and are ever remem-
bered with emotions OF pleasure.

generous hostess served her visitors
with a nice repast, and the evening
was pleasantly spent by all present.
