THE ROOT-PLATT QUARREL
Over the Proposed appointment of an
Assistant Secretary OF war.

Washington, March 9.-There are
signs that the friction which has been
engendered between Secretary Root
and Senator Platt over the announce
ed determination Of the former to ap-
point Colonel Sanger as assistant sec
retary Of war, regardless Of Mr.. Platt's
objection, will now be removed. Mr..
Platt, who is now in New York, has
made an appointment for a talk with

as the former returns to Washington,
and, meanwhile, it is understood that
Mr.. Root will withhold his action in
the premises, the intimation being
thrown out that this misunderstanding
can be speedily adjusted upon free
exchange of views.

ACYCLONE IN TEXAS.
Four Persons Killed-Many Injured.
A Town Almost Demolished.

Wills Point, Texas. March AT II
o'clock this morning cyclone passed
through the west side of this town, de-
molishing everything In it's track. Four
people are dead and about twenty in
jured.
Fourteen dwelling houses are entirely
ruined and a number OF others are
badly wrecked. The public school
building is a total loss. The cotton oil
mill is damaged and the largest gin
plant is in splinters. Wires were blown
off the poles and the fences leveled and
a freight car is off the track.
Several of the Injured are expected to
die. The propertyioss is placed at $50
600 which is considered a conservative
estimate.
Black clouds had been hanging in the
southwest all the morning. The at
mosphere was heavy. and at intervals
there had been clustering showers of
rain. 1t was just at noon wnen there
was a long roar Of run1bling thunder, a
puff of wind and then the air was
thick with flying timoers. The cyclone
came from the southwest and held to a
straight northeast course. It's path
was about 30o yards wide. 1t struck
the northwest quarter OF the town, in
the residence section. No house is left
which is not irreparably wrecked.

ADJOURNS SINE DIE.
Closing Scenes OF the Extraordinary
Session of the Senate.

Washington, March 9.-After pro-
ceedings lasting only six days, the ex-
traordinary session of the senate was
declared adjourned sine die at 1:55
o'clock p. m. today. During the ses-
sion practically no business except that
of executive character was transacted.
The session was called by the presi-
dent in order that the senate might
have opportunity to confirm appoint
ments made at the beginning Of the
new administration. That business
accomplished, there was nothing fur
ther for the senate to do.
At the opening of today's session the
president pro tenn. Senator Frye, Of
Maine, was inducted into Office, the
oath being administered by Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Hon. John II. Mitchell, the recently
elected senator from Oregon, was pre-
sented by his colleague, Senator Simon,
and took the oath Of office. He was
given a cordial reception by his col
leagues on the floor many Of whom had
served in the senate with him, and by
his friends in the galleries who greeted
his appearance with hearty applause.

NEW ENGLAND COTTON TRADE
Demoralized Over Outlook and South

Demoralized Over Outlook and South
ern Competition.
Fall River, Mass, March 9.-The de-
moralized condition Of the cotton goods
market continues to cause uneasiness in
mill circles and the gloomy feeling was
intensified today. when it was an
nounced that $4,000 pieces of regular
goods for March delivery had been sold
by the sshing committee of the Fall
River Manufacturers Association at
2kc. 1t is stated. however. that the
regular price is still cents fat, the
temporary reduction having been made
to meet competition forced by a south
ern concern and a Rhode Island COM
pany. The transaction, however, has
given a new impetus to a movement
to bring about a reduction in wages
and curtailment in production, which
had been partly checked by a strong
influence to prevent such a step.

England's Reply to the Amendments
ofOur Senate.


London, March 9.-The reply of the
British government to the note con-
veying the amendments of the United
States senate to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty should be formally delivered by
the British ambassador at Washing
ton to Secretary Hay within a few
days. The foreign office here did not
originally contemplate delaying the
British reply until now. The plan ap-
pears to have been to transmit the an
swer previous to the date on which the
treaty lapsed, which, according to the
British view of the case, would have
put the onus of it's lapsing on the SEN
ate. AS previously set forth in these
dispatches. the main object of the
British government throughout has
been to make an entirely new arrange
ment. At no stage of the proceedings
has there been any inclination to ac-
cept the senate's amendments.
1t is understood here that the nature
of the British governments reply has
already been informally communicat-
ed to Secretary Hay. Great Britain
has no intention of modifying or abro-
eating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
without a satisfactory quid pro quo.
That treaty, according to the foreign
office view of the case, remains as
much in force now as the day it was
signed. The speeches made in the
senate do not disturb Downing street.
They are dismissed with the remark
that treaties cannot be abrogated
without the consent of both the con-
tracing parties. There is, however,
an apparently genuine belief here, that
q satisfactory arrangement will event
ually be arrived at, though it is scarce
ly thought it could be got into the re-
quisite shape in time for discussion at
the extra session of the senate. More
over there is a freely expressed disin-
clination on the part of British Off
cials to commit themselves to any
further treaties until they are thor
oughly assured of the views the senate
holds on the matter in question.

Raleigh, n. c.. March 9.-The senate
judiciary committee this evening con-
sidered the resolution which passed
the house, providing for a sitting of the
senate as court of Impeachment at "a
per day after the legislative session
ends.
The committee decided by a vote Of
all the members save two to report the
resolution favorably Monday.
Some of the peachment managers
were present, anxious to know what
action would be taken so as to govern
themselves accordingly.
One member wanted an extra session.
If there were the cost would be 81, 100
a day, while the senate would cost
alone sitting as a court only about
1925 day, making difference approx
imating $4,000, on a basis of twenty
days for the trial.
There was about to be request for
an opinion by the supreme court, but
this was decided not to be proper.
The information above is given by
two members of the committee. The
idea is that the house shall take a re-
cess at the end of next week, say, to
about April 1st, so as to be ready for
any contingencies.
1t is said by one member Of the COM
mittee that he does not think the court
of impeachment will or can do much
next week. as the work of the legisla-
ture will require practically all the
time of the senate and house. He says
he thinks it will require fully six more
days. He said that perhaps the court
of impeachment might hold night ses-
sions. 1t was Senator Warren, of the
committee, who discovered the sections
of the constitution which apply tC
courts of impeachment and which were
quoted last night. and which, as above
shown, convinced all the members OF
the committee save two.
The democratic caucus discussed the
election law etonight for two hours
nearly all the discussion being as to
whether there should be two or four
poll holders. The committee report or
this bill provided for four. An amend
ment was offered to make the number
two, one of each party. on the ground

agreed on, and the caucus disposed OF
