TRIBUTE TO ERICAN WOMEN.
Max O'RelIs Opinion as Drawn from
 tho Horse Show.

Paris, Dec. S.-Max OsRell writing in the Figaro this morning about Ameri can women describes them at the New York Horse show, which he says was the most brilliant spectacle of fashion able elegance he had ever seen.
 The scene at Madison Square Garden was more French than English, says the writer. Only, the elite of society was present. In this respect the New York is unlike the London horse show, where cheap admissions cause violent social contrasts. While mostly of Eng. fish origin, American women resemble the women of Paris more than their English sisters, not beacuses they wear the latest Paris fashions-the English upper class do the eame--but never lose the stamp of their country. It is the the frank look in their intelligent faces, the vivacity of their movements, the absence of affection and stiffness, the simpleness and, grace of their carriage and their assured bearing. which char acterize American women that makes them resemble Partisan women.

 St. Petersburg students have begun the issue of an underground news paper. It is stated in the first issue that meetings are planned at Kharkoff and that the students would continue to protest unless women and Jews were admitted unrestrictedly to all educa- tional institutions, unless the local re- strictions were removed and unless the former students were all re-admitted. Some of the more conservative students aver the reforms demanded by this pa per are too radical and should not be countenanced.

 the flair.

New York Dec. 8--Herbert Marx, who on Tuesday night last shot and killed William Taylor and William lief Ain and seriously wounded James Stiff, at his fathers plantation house near Oak Grove, Va, reached his home in Brooklyn this evening. He left Oak Grove immediately after his exonera- ton by the coroner's jury and reached Washington on Thursday. As to his whereabouts since Thursday nothing was obtainable. Abel l.. Blackmar of Brooklyn, of the law firm of Baldwin & Blackmar, Manhattan, gave out statement tonight of the affair, giving the details of the shooting of the men who came to lynch him for his suppos- ed insult to a young woman.

AMERICAN DESERTER KILLED.
David Fasin,s Life Ended by Native
 scouts.

David Faain,s Life Ended by Native
 Manila, Dec. S.-Native scouts from Bongabon, province of Neuva Ecija, have killed the American negro. David Fagin, a deserter from the Twenty fourth (coloreD infantry, who for more than two years has been leading Eli pinos against the American troops. The native scouts decapitated their pris- oner. The mans head, however, was recognized as that of Fagin's. They also secured his commission in the in surgent army. Fagin had on one of his fingers the class ring of Lieutenant Frederick w. Altstaetter, of the engin- eers, who was captured by Filipinos supposedly under the command of Fa- gin himself October 2S, 1900.
 Fagin has been reported killed upon several occasions. The authorities are satisfied that former statements of his death were erroneous and that he has now been killed
 A military commission has sentenced the Filipino General Isidoro Torres to be hanged, after finding him guilty of ordering the assassination of Corporal Fieldner of the Twelfth infantry, at Malolos province of Bulacan, last De- tober. The sentence of the commission has been disapproved by General Chaft fee, who finds that the commission had reasonable grounds to, doubt whether General Torres personally ordered the assassination of the American soldier. General Chaffee thinks that the high rank held by Torres in the insurgent army would have been sufficient to pre- vent such unmilitary action on his part

TO RATlFY CANAL TREATY
FAVORABLE ACTION WITH LITTLE
 DELAY IS ExPEC1ED.
Senate VIII Go Into Executive Session To.day to Consider the Convention and Will Do So Each Day Until It fs Disposed Of-very Little Opposition Anticipated.

Washington, Dec. S-The only meas ure of importance which the senate has on its calendar for the present week is the new -Pauncefote treaty, mak- ing provision for the abrogation of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty and opening the way for the unobstructed construction of an isthmian 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 in each day thereafter until the convention is disposed of,
 It can be said that at this time the prospect is very strong that the treaty will be ratified and it now looks as if this result would be secured after com paratively little delay. There will be some debate and some features of the document will be classed as undesirable but there is no probability of captious opposition The criticism will be along the lines indicated by Senators Money and Bacon in the committee on foreign relations at its meeting on Friday last. No senator thus far, however has
  tions to the point of ultimate effort to defeat ratification. The principal au- thors of the criticism of the treaty are southern senators, who are generally very anxious for the construction of the canal. They find that all canal legisla- tion will Be tied up until action can be secured on the treaty, and they are on this account less liable than they 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 secured during the present week, and the opinion is very general that ratification will be obtain ed before the Christmas holidays.
 Beyond the consideration of the treaty, very little business will be un- dertaken before the holidays. It is now generally agreed that the question of reciprocity will go over until Janu- ary, and it may be added that, from being for time the subject most likely to attract earlier attention it has taken a position among the matters which will not be vigorously urged. When the reciprocity treaties do come up for con- sideration, there will be persistent op- QOSltlOl tO lue dBIeeIlcIt WltH IdLCe and to that with Great Britain cover ing the West Indies There is not so much feeling over the conventions with the South American republics. The present outlook also is against any inn mediate action in the senate looking to tariff legislat ton for the Philippines, and there are some indications that the senate will wait upon the house in this matter. Probably the Chinese exclusion act will be reported from committee during the week.
 The nomination of Attorney General Knox will be reported at the first exec utive session, but immediate confirma- tion probably will be antagonized by some senators.

Denver, Dec S.--A special from Butte says new and wonderful natural cave, believed to be one of the largest known, has just been discovered in the canon of the Jefferson, on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad, about fifty miles east of Butte. An exploration party from that city spent several days in the cave, going over an area of ten miles and to depth of nearly one thousand feet A large river, with a cataract of about one hundred feet, was explored a distance of several miles without its source or outlet being dis covered. A few articles of stone and copper utensile and some bones, believ- ed to be human, were also found in one of the large apartments of the cave. There were other evidences that in some prehistoric period the cave was inhabited The formation of stalactites and other natural decorations through out the cave are most beautiful.

London Tim es' Com m ent.

London, Dec. 9.-The Times, in an ed ltorial on the HayPauncefote canal treaty, says it is hard to see how Great Britain could concede more without pre- tending to give what she did not pos sess. namely the rights and incidents of territorial sovereignty. That fact, however" says the Times would not weaken the objections of those senators anxious to oppose anything making for good relations with Great Britain. As President Roosevelt and public opinion both seem to favor this treaty, we ven- ture to hope that it will surmount the threatened obstruction"
