The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1901-12-19

ratified by the United States SEN
ate yesterday afternoon, and the
old Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
which has for fifty years been an
embarrassment to this govern
ment. is no more. It has been
superseded by the new treaty,
which, if not entirely satisfacto-
ry to all, removes the most seri-
Gus objections Of partnership in
the old treaty and enables the
United States alone to construct
own, and control an isthmian ca
nal without being prohibited
from fortifying it or inviting the
European powers to unite in
guaranteeing its neutrality.
Whatever the new treaty may
lack in definiteness as to the
power of this government under
it is made up in the clear inter
probation putuponit by the senate
in advance of ratification, without
any protest from Great Britain.
One of the great embarrassments
of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty
was an Interpretation put upon
it by Great Britain after it had
been ratified by the United
States senate. There is no pos
sibility of such modification of
the meaning of this treaty.
The republicans unitedly stand
for the new treaty, not because
it gave this government all that
is necessary to guarantee It's alb
solute control and ownership Of
an isthmian canal, and because
it clears the way for canal legis-
,ation.
Senator Morgan will tomorrow
call up his bill reported last
Thursday authorizing the Presi-
dent to conclude agreements
with the republics of Costa Rica
and Nicaragua for the acquiring
and full control Of such terrific
ry as may be necessary for the
canal, and to govern, regulate,
police, and protect the same.
He will seek TO have his bill
passed by the senate this week
before the holiday recess, but
the democrats who opposed and
sought to delay ratification of
the treaty, will refuse consent to
this legislation, which is the
preliminary step to that for the
construction of the canal Those
who have been loudest in their
demand for an isthmian canal
have done most to delay ratifica-
ton of the treaty, and they will
block legislation as long as pos
slble.
The agreement reached on
Thursday to vote on the treaty
today enabled Senator Lodge,
who had the management of the
Question, to prevent further de-
lay and bring about the ratifica-
tior. After the agreement was
reached the opposition to the
treaty which last week was
threatening melted away until
only six democrats voted against
lit, while the vote in its favor
was 72. Senators Teller, Till
man, Mallory, Blackburn, Bacon
and Culberson voted against it,
while Bailey was paired with
Elkins, and Depew and Rawlins
were paired with Hanna and
Sewen.
This represents eight votes
against the treaty, and all are
democrats, with the exception of
Teller, who still calls himself a
silver republican, but has taken
his seat on the democratic side
of the chamber and attends the
democratic caucuses. The re-
publicans who had charge of the
treaty regard the victory of the
senate as complete. By the
amendment of the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty last year they have
iobtained treaty that will not
embarass the government in the
Iconstruction of a canal.

was given to the everla by the fact that
while the confirmation sacrament is
usually administered every two years,
it has been five years since such GER

Rev. Henry Granjon, Of Tucson, bishop
OF the Arizona diocese, was in charge

O'Clock Saturday night, tied with a
rope around its neck. Early yesterday
morning the boys on the ranch dis
covered the horse was gone, but as
| the rope was left with the loop on the
end as though it had been slipped over
| tho horses head, it was supposed the
animal had merely freed itself for a
| little run, was not far away and would
return when it got ready. Nothing was
said to Mr.. Christy until he gave orders
to have the horse hitched up for the
purpose OF driving to church. AS the
missing horse did not return the mat
ter was reported to the sheriff's office

horse, five years old, weighing about

head, 1t had on old shoes, those on
| the hind feet being loose, or possibly
lost off. Nothing else was missed from
the ranch and whoever stole the horse
was considerate enough to furnish his
own saddle and bride The belief thai
the horse was stolen is given color by
the fact that it was raised on the
ranch and has never been away except
when driven, and that numberless
times before when it has broken loose,
it ran around till 1t got tired of playing.
then came back to the vicinity of the
other horses on the ranch.
As mentioned above, the horse be-
longed to a son of Mr. Christy who,
considering his age, has had rather an
evcntful experience in trying 20 get
something he could own and keep fer
himself. This makes the third horse
he has had-more than some people
ever get-and all three of them have
been stolen from him. Not only that
but the last horse thief to visit the
ranch took his saddle also At another
time he was the proud pOssessor of a
good bicycle and that was stolen fro
him.

OPIUM JOINT PULLED
Six Cinnamon Will Have to Explain
Their Sunday Festivities.

Constable Martin raided a Chinese
opium joint yesterday afternoon and
placed six oriental hop fiends under ar
rest. Deputy United States Marshal
Porterle had occasion to visit China
town for the purpose of inspecting a
certificate held by a suspected China
man. and the constable went with him
Their search led them into a room on
East Madison street near First, where
layout was in evidence and its
practical use was being demonstrated
by two Acknowledged. yellow skinned
subjects of Kwang Su.
These two were arrested for smoking
opium, the keeper Of the place was ar
rested for malntaing an opium den
and three others were arrested for
playing the role of poor old dag Tray
The keeper of the house travels under
the name of Che ing, and the other
five men are named respectively Jim
Loo, John Guttary, jim Kwong, Quong
Yung and Charlie Kee. The Cinnamon
at once came to the conclusion that NJ
one could furnish them a better de-
Tense than a man who had had exper-
ience in the administration of the law,
so they humbled themselves before At
torney c. w. tombstone.
MIR. tombstone and his regiments of
clients appeared before Justice ]. NJ.
Burnett. The attorney for the defense
stated to the court that the defendants
were responsible men and asked that
they be allowed to go on their own
rtcognizance till today. He said that
had been the usual practice in cases
Of this kind in the old days when he
was exerting magesterial authority.
The court readily assented, saying that
he would be as lenient as possible, in
view of the fact that the government
already has something of Chinese
question on hand and it would be I'M
wise to unnecessarily complicate mat
tiers.
At this juncture one of the China
men raised the point that he could not
be present today without shutting
down the territorial insane asylum, as
he was employed there. and '+ft the
inference that DR.. Miller would prac-
tically have his hands tied by his alb
sence. VERY WE'LL said the court,
VIC u just put YOU III jail tOIiSut ~
We will known where to find you to-
morrow" Asked when he could make
1t convenient to attend court the
Chinaman said that really the only
spare time he had was on Sundays.
His attorney made another talk In his
behalf and said that If the Chnaman
was released he thought his personal
influence with DIR. Miller was strong
enough to get him an afternoon off so
he could attend the legal proceedings.
Again the Chinaman objected. He
said he would not come in from the
asylum unless a "calliags" was sent
for him. Walking is too tiresome these
hot, wintry days. The court made an
other talk about jails and things and
then announced that the statutes did
not provide for carriage hire in eases
of this kind. Once more counsel for
the defense throttled. his client and
made an arrangement whereby he
agreed to have all six In court this
afternoon. The Cinnamon were then
released to attend the band concert.
