CANAL BILL UP THIS WEEK.
It's Friends Expect Final Action Be-
fore the Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The only meas
ure of Importance which the Senate has
on its calendar for the present week is
the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty, making
provision for the abrogation of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and opening the way
for the unobstructed construction of the
isthmian canal by the United States. Act
ing for the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, Senator Lodge will ask the Senate
to go into executive session tomorrow
for the consideration of the treaty, and
each day thereafter until the convention
is disposed of.
1t 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 obtained after compare
lively little delay. There will be some de-
bate and some features of the document
will be criticized as undesirable, but there
is no probability of captious opposition.
The criticism will be along the lines in
dictated by Sena tors Money and Bacon in
the Committee on Foreign Relations at
its meeting on Friday last. No Senator
thus far, however, has shown a disposi-
ton to carry his objections to the point of
ultimate effort to defeat ratification. The
principal authors of the criticism of the
treaty are Southern Senators. who are
generally very anxious for the construc-

ton of the canal They find that all
canal legislation will be tied up until ac-
they are on this account less liable than
they otherwise 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 OBJ
tanned during the present week, and the
opinion is very general that 1t will be won
at least before the Christmas holidays
Beyond the consideration of the treaty
very little business will be undertaken be
fore the holidays. 1t is now generally
agreed that the question of rec1proe "
will go over until January, probably with
out so much as being mentioned, and 1t
may be added that from being for time
the subject most likely to attract early
attention 1T has taken position among
the matters which will not be vigorously
urged. When the reciprocity treaties DO
come UP for consideration there viii De
persistent opposition to the agreement
with France and to that with Great Btu
ain covering the West Indies. There IS
not so much feeling over the conventions
with the South American republics.
The present outlook also is against any
Immediate action in the Senate looking to
tariff legislation for the Philippines, and
there are some indications that the Senate
will wait upon the House Of Representa-
tives in this matter. Probably the Chinese
exclusion action will be reported from the
committee during the week.
Knox will be reported at the first session,
but immediate confirmation probably will
be antagOnized by some Senators.
The House this week probably will pass
a measure to meet the situation created
by the Philippine decision of the Supreme
Court last Monday. Up to the present
time, however the Republican members
of the Ways and Means Committee have
not decided upon the character of the
measure which will be reported. differ
ence of opinion exists as to whether there
should be a temporary enactment of the
Dingley rates on goods entering the
United States from the Philippines or
whether a permanent scheme of tariff leg
islatiOn for the islands should be pre-
pared. 1t is understood that Payne
chairman of the committee, and Dalzell
favor the latter course The Republican
members of the committee will meet
again tomorrow. OF course, If it be de-
cided to enact a temporary measure the
procedure will be exceedingly simple, and
it probably could be passed in day.

when Mr.. Cochran, the orator of the even
ing, arose and bowed in recognition OF the
tumult of applause which greeted him. He
said, in part:
However men may differ about the invasion
of the South African republics. all are agreed
that the restoration of peace is in the highest
degree desirable. There are but two ways in
which the war can be terminated-either the
Beers must surrender or the English must
abandon the hope Of subduing them.
But is il true that the resistance Of the
Beers is hopeless? Since the fall of Pretoria
it certainly has not been fruitless; it has been
justified by most important results. Lord
Salisbury's position that nothing but absolute
surrender would be considered has been aban-
doned, and to-day the burghers could obtain
almost any terms short of complete acknowl-
edgement of their independence. As their re-
sistance has not been fruitless, neither is their
struggles for independence hopeless On the
contrary if their resistance is prolonged for a
few months, the abandonment of the struggle
TO subdue them by Great Britain is inevitable.
This statement is not based on any special
information concerning the war, but the
conviction that it will be impossible for the

nation of the report of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, which was sent to
Congress last week, shows that it is abb
solutely unanimous. There is no minority
report despite the assertion that George
r. Morrison differed from his colleagues
to the extent Of recommending the adop-
ton of the Panama canal route. As it
reached Congress the report is unanimous
in its Endorsement of the Nicaraguan
route as the most feasible" one for an
inter-oceanic waterway.
This discovery is the more surprising
because the text of the so-called minor
ity report" signed by Mr.. Morrison, has
been published and accepted as a fact by
the press.
