tBr TELEGRAPH To THE TRrRrNE-I


Washington, Dec 16-By majority that sur
passed even the most confident expectations Of
its supporters the rev Hay-Pauneefote Canal
Treaty was ratified by the Senate this afternoon
The vote was - TO 6- Those who voted against
ratification were Mr.. Teller. OF Colorado; Mr.
Bacon of Georgia; Mr.. Culberson. of Texas; Mr.
Mallory, of Florida; Mr. Tillman- of South caro-
lima, and Mr. Blackburn. of Kentucky. 1t Is
significant that every negative vote was accom-
panied with the explanation that the Senator
casting it was not opposed to the canal, but
merely to some of the terms of the treaty. par
ticularIy the reference in the preamble OF the
convention to Article VIII Of the old Clayton
Bulwer Treaty, which simply establishes the
principle Of neutrality. with Great Britain as
joint guarantor with the United States OF the
carars neutrality. Those who based their oh
lection this phraseology do not appear 10
have been able TO appreciate that by the aDro-
CATION of the Clayton-Buwer Treaty this alleged
feature of partnership with England in the old
Article VIII has been completely eliminated by
the terms and spirit of the new convention
Mr.. HAYS ACHIEVEMENT.
The supporters of the treaty. particularly Sem
ators Lodge Spooner and Morgan, have made il
plain that the Hay-Pauncefote convention vests
outright in the United States the full and
disputed control of any canal which may be
Nicaragua Costa Rca. or both. The treaty
shows therefore, that Secretary Hays diplo-
matte triumph Is signal and complete, and the
fact that 1t was brought about without any un-
pleasant friction between the Foreign Offices In
Washington and London is commented upon
of the most notable features OF Mr.. Hays
achievement. 1t Is also noteworthy that no in
ternationaI agreement Of modern times has met
with such favor in the Senate Usually treaties
of any considerable import are debated by the
Senate for weeks and are disposed of by a very
narrow margin. with one OF the great parties
making political capital out Of the debate. But
this has not been the case IN respect to the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty. On the contrary, every
minority Senator who opposed It's prompt ratifi-
cation apoIogized most eaborately for his atti-
tude. contenting himself simply with giving ex-
preston to his views without resorting to the
customary methods employed for the defeat OF d
measure that does not meet his approval IN all
particulars
THE VOTE IN DETAIL.
The vote in detail on the ratification of the
treaty was follows:

ny TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l ]


washington, Dec 16-Secretary Hay and the
nanish Minister at Washington. as plenipoten-
,iaries for that purpose have completed the
treaty fer the purchase by the United States of
Che Danish possessions in the West Indies. The
draft Of the treaty has been forwarded to Copen-
hagen for King Christians formal assent, and it
Is thought that the signatures of the penipo-
-entiaries may be affixed in q few days, making
.be convention ready for the Senate's consid-
Grafton Immediately after the holiday recess
As the government of Denmark has already ap-
1roved the terms which have been reached after
tedious negotiations. and as poll of the United
States Senate has insured prompt ratification.
there seems scarcely any doubt that the formal
transfer Of sovereignty may be accomplished in
few months.
The chief points at issue in the recent negotia-
lions have related TO the price TO be paid for the
islands and the future status Of the inhabitants.
For some time Denmark insisted that full citi-
zenship should be given TO the inhabitants, but
she was finally brought TO realize that Congress
alone could determine their civil and political
status and that it was improbable that any
great departure would be made from the recogni-
ton given 10 the neighboring Porto Rtcans
Since 1861. when S1.J00,000 was agreed upon as
q fair price for the islands after Denmark had
held them for long time for S110c@ooo the
price had apparently dwindled in thirty years
20 about S35o0,000, that being the figure at
which Denmark seemed anxious to sell just be-
fore the Spanish war. But. due in large degree
TO the introduction of bills in Congress and to
over jealous press agitation suggesting 5000
600 as fair price. the Danish Cabinet has made
every effort TO induce the United States TO pay
more than $4,5oo.O00. but was finally induced to
give way.
Under the new treaty the islands become the
property Of the United States under substan-
TALLY the same conditions as the Philippines
were ceded by Spain IN the Treaty Of Paris Of
December TO- 1898. there being no impairment
OF property rights of individuals, municipalities
or associations having legal capabilities. the in

Numerous Bills Allowed and Routine
Business Transacted. -TheO
Werve Addressed Board.
BASE BALL WITH CITY DADS
Committee is Appointed to Arrange a
Schedule With the Aldermen of Three
Games.-Bids Asked on Blackboards.

The School Board had a meeting
Tuesday night. All members were
present and everything went smoothly.
The first order of business after the
regulation pre1iminaries was the &C
ceptance of the resignation of Mrs.
Edward DeDeimar nee Miss Ethel
Torrey.
The High School committee read
the report on the expenses of the Com
mencement, which aggregated 1914. So.
Numerous other small bills allowed.
The committee on buildings and
grounds was instructed to get bids for
the building of several slate black
boards. The question of the black
boards of the school has become quite
a serious one, and after considered bic
discussion of the point the Board have
decided that it may be the best policy
to put up slate boards that will be per-
manent where the boards are out of
condition rather than make repairs
that will be of service for a short time
only. Accordingly, at the meeting
Tuesday evening the Board ordered
the committee on buildings and
grounds to secure bids for the neces-
sary work in order that some estimate
may be made of the cost of the requi-
site slate boards.
Mr.. Theodore Werve appeared be-
fore the Board and in stirring ad-
dress sought to make the Board I'M
derstand that he should be exempt
from paying tuition. He stated as
the ground of his contention that he
is paying taxes in the city, and as tax
alton without representation was the
cause of the Revolutionary war he is
of the opinion that the Board is bound
to acknowledge the sacred principle
and exempt his tuition. The Board
did not take any action on the matter.
The last and by far the most i'm
portant order of business was the APP
pointment of a committee consisting
of Supt. Baker, Robert Ho1derness and
Ed. Sullivan to arrange a schedule of
three games of base ball with the city
dads. The committee will meet with
City Clerk Jacob in the near future
and arrange the games, naming the
time, place and conditions.
Adjournment was taken until the
twenty-third of this month.

death.

complaints for removal rests with
freeholders and taxpayers in each
county. The machinery for bringing
offenders to justice or compelling them
to properly discharge their duties be-
ing thus lodged in the hands of the
citizens, the responsibility for due OBJ
servance of the law IN respect to the
matters under consideration rests upon
such citizens, in large measure. AS
such duty and responsibility rests pri-
marily upon the officers and citizens
of each locality, it is expected that
they will take the initiative in proceed
ings to enforce the penalties SO far as
may be necessary While this COM
mission could not at this time without
neglect of other duties, undertake the
investigat or prosecution of assess
ing officers who violate the law, and
while we must for that reason leave
such action to the people of the various
localities who are more Immediately
concerned and affected by the niscon
duct of such officers, it is not to be as
sumed that we may not at later and
more convenient period take up and
investigate the acts of assessing Off
GERS and direct such prosecutions or
proceedings for removal as may be
deemed necessary or advisable.
