PUSHING CANAL TREATY.
Senate Committee Reports Tt Favorably,
Though Bacon and Money Find
Much to Criticise.

Washington, Dec. THE senate
committee on foreign relations Fri
day voted to report favorably the new
Hay-Pauncefote treaty providing for
the construction of an isthmian canal.
The cOmmitte was in session nearly
two hours and went over in detail the
provisions of the convention. No
votes were cast against it, but it was
criticised very sharply by Senators
Money and Bacon, who found in it
many of the objections which they
urged against the old treaty. They
took especial exception to the provi-
sion continuing in force the neutrality
provision of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty and also made objection to
the clause specifically authorizing
the United States to police the canal
as placing a limitation upon the
power of this country to absolutely
control it.

Denver, Col, Dec. "a special to

A new and wonderful natural cave,
believed to be one of the largest
known, has just been discovered in
the canyon of the jefferson on the
line of the Northern Pacific railway,
about so miles east of Butte. An ex-
ploratiOn party from Rutte spent sew
eral days in the cave, going over an
area of ten miles and to a depth of
nearly 1000 feet. a large river with
a cataract of about 100 feet was ex-
plored for distance of several miles
without discovering its source or out
let, A few articles of stone and cop
per utensils and some bones believed
to be human bones were also found
in one of the large apartments of the
cave.

WEEKS Has A PROTEST.
Michigan Congressman just Home from
the Philippines Thinks College Girls
Should Be Returned Home.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-Congress-
man Weeks, of Michigan, who arrived
from Manila on the transport Han
cock, in talking about conditions in
the Philippines, said: II saw Aguinal-
do and spent half a day with him. He
is not an intelligent man, and 1 think
feels that he is inferior in intellect to
the Americans. He seemed to me not
clever, but cunning. The new method
of educating the natives as adopted
by this government is wrong. Refined,
handsome young ladies from Vassar
and other colleges went down to the
Philippines to educate these natives.
They have had to put up with all
kinds of privations and to eat native
food, and in some places their lives
have been in danger. 1 think this is
entirely unnecessary. In place of
these young ladies, discharged SOL
6iers of education who had become
acclimated should be appointed and
The young women should be sent
home.

INSPECTION TOO RIGID.
National Live Stock Convention Declares
Uncle Sam Rejects Too Many Good
Horses for Army Use.

Chicago, Dec. AT Fridays ses-
sion of the National Live Stock con-
vention a resolution of interest to
horse-raisers was adopted. 1t calls
for a less rigid inspection of horses
Intended for government use, espe-
cially in the army and suggests the
appointment of a committee of our
army men and eight horse breeders
to act as judges at shows where prizes
shall be given for horses best fitted
for service in the various branches of
tho army. The unnecessary severity
of the government inspectors in Sc
lecting horses is shown in the fact
that England has bought 10000
horses and mules for use in South
Africa, while the United States hav-
ing advertised for $4,000 animals has
been able to get only 5000 head.
After a spirited contest between
the friends of Portland, Ore, and
Kansas City, Mo-, the convention Sc
lected the latter city as the place for
the next convention. This convention
will begin the second Tuesday in
January, 1903.

TOO MUCH, says MERcER.
Nebraska Congressman just Back from
Manila Thinks saIasIes of Civilians
There Should Be Cut.


Washington, Dec. 9.-Congressman
David Mercer (rep.), of Nebraska, who
has just returned from the Philip
pines, brought back a copy of the
civilian pay roll at Manila. He insists
that it shows great extravaganza on
the part of this government, and
that congress should act in the mat
ter. The civilian salary roll at Ma
Mia carries 1905 names of Americans
and Filipinos, who draw an aggregate
annual stipend from the government
of $3,OS6,989. Of these, 2,O44 are Amer
leans, whose yearly compensation
foots up 81, 2SO,O44. There are 1859
Filipinos, all, with a few exceptions,
occupying minor places, which yield
a total of $685. to the incumbents.
Following is a list of some of the
salaries paid to civilian officers: Gov.
Taft, president of the commission,
$4,000; each of four commissioners,
$4,000; secretary of the commission,
$500; chief justice, a Filipino, $500;
six justices, two of them Filipinos,
$1,000; treasurer, $4,000; auditor, &c.

COINAGE DURING THE YEAR.
Director of the Mint Tells of the Opera
lions of This Important Branch OF
the Government Service.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The report of
Mr.. George E. Roberts, director of
the mint, upon the operations of the
mint service during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1901, has been COM
pleted. The coinage of the mints
during the fiscal year amounted to
176,999,132 pieces, of the value of $780,
34O,781. Of this $99,O65,715 was in
gold, $24, $50 was in silver dollars,
$10,966,648 was in fractional silver and
$2,000,568 was in minor coins.
The coinage of silver dollars during
the year was wholly from the stock
of bullion accumulated under the act
of July Il, 1890. The amount of this
bullion on hand at the beginning of
the fiscal year was 81, 1854 standard
ounces and at the end of the year
1852, 1927 standard ounces. The coin
age of this bullion has been acceler-
ated to enable the treasury to retire
the treasury notes issued in its pur-
chase and at the same time supply
the pressing demand which has exist
ed throughout the year for the small
denominations of money required in
retail trade.
The estimated production of gold
in the United States during the cal
endar year 1900 was of the value of
$40, III, 900, and Notwithstanding the
fact that this country led the world
in production, it's imports exceeded
its exports by $12,866,O1O.
The worlds coinage of gold in the
calendar year 1900 was 1854, 1856, 497
of Ill ny M ono
The industrial coin consumption Of
gold in the United States during the
calendar year 1900 is estimated at
SIG, 667, 500 and of the world approxi-
mately SIS, 100000.

BLOCKS The DANISH DEAL.
United States VIII Not Agree to Give Semi

Rights of citizenship.

Washington, Dec. satisfactory
conditions cannot be reached in the
effort of the United States govern
ment to acquire title to the Danish
West Indies. The condition which
proposition is that the people shah
be given the rights of citizenship in
the United States. The secretary of
state would like to close the negotia-
ton for the islands. He would do
so if the restrictions indicated could

WOULD TAKE ALL REVENUES.
A Thousand Pension Bills Presented Which,
If Passed. Would Require Over $780,
100000 Additional TO Pay Them.

Washington, Dec. 9.-About 1000
pension bills already have been in
troduced in congress. Some of these
bills, if they become law, would add
about $1OO,oOO,OOO year to the pen
sion expenditures. If by any posi-
bility they could all become law it
would take all of the revenues of the
government to meet the expenditures
called for. There are such bills as the
one introduced by Mr.. -Bowersock,
of Kansas, giving the widow of an
officer or an enlisted man who dies
the same pension as the officer or en-
listed man received or would be en-
titled to in case he was on the retired
list or pension list or should have
been put there.

ALL ON EQUAL FOOTING.
Plan to Secure Mckinley Monument Fund
subscriptions from School Children So
as to Avoid Embarrassment.

Cleveland, O., Dec 81. H. Jones,
superintendent of the Cleveland pub
lie schools, has devised a plan for re-
eeiving contributions from pupils to
the Mckinley National Memorial
fund. The plan is for a secret contri-
button. Each pupil Will be supplied
with an envelope on which will be
written the name and home address.
In this way the children who have
given penny and the millionaire who
contributes his thousands are on
equal footing. Every contributor is
given a souvenir certificate, no mat
ter how small his offering. This
souvenir certificate further preserves
a contributors pride by simply stat
ing that he is a contributor without
giving the sum contributed.
