Favors the Davis Amendment,

Mr.. Bacon's speech was made in con-
nection with a motion to amend the
treaty. In presenting this amendment
he said that he was in favor of a canal
and would vote for the treaty with the
Davis amendment. He said he op-
posed the" treaty because he did net
believe it would give the United States
full control Of the canal. He said that
Great Britain rejected the amended
Hay Pauncefote treaty, but sent us
another treaty about identical with the
former treaty as amended, except as
regards the Davis amendment. He
considered that fact the most impaor-
tant feature of the whore controversy.
There was an exceptionally full sen.
ate when the time arrived for a vote,
but the certainty of ratification had
become SO apparent that there was
comparatively little interest in the
proceeding. The votes on the amend
ments succeeded each other quickly.

ment to insert the Davis fortif cation
amendment of tho last session. This

b. Hhere arc I've rsoerts,. :Admirals
BsnhaA and Ramsay ,oeucur In, the
first, waich ID signed By Admiral Dew
ey also as Z natter OF FORM Admiral
Dewey makes q separate report, al
though he agrees with the findings OF
facts subscribed to by the others. The
majority report condemns Admiral
Schley on II. points,. while Admiral
Dewey suatains him in most -particu-
lars.
The majority opinion finds. in brief,
that Admiral Schley should have pro-
ceeded with the utmost dispatch to
Cienfuegos and maintained. a close
blockade: that he should have endeav-
ored to obtain information Of the Span
ish squadron there; that he should
have proceeded to Santiago with dis:
patch; that he should not. have made
the retrograde movement: that he
should have obeyed the departments
orders; that he should have endeavor-
ed to capture the Spanish vessels in
Santiago; that he did not do his ut
most to destroy the Colon; that he
caused the squadron to lose distance
in the loop of the Brooklyn; that he
thereby caused the Texas to back; that
he did injustice to Hodgson; that his
conduct in the campaign was char
acterized by vacillation, dilatoriness
and lack of enterprises; that his official
reports on the coal supply were mis-
leading and inaccurate; that his %
duct during the battle was self pos
sessed and that he encouraged in his
own person his subordinate officers
and men.
Admiral Dewey, in his report, says
that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch; that in view
of his coal supply the blockade Of
'Cfenfuegos was effective; that he al
lowed the Adula to enter Cienfuegos
to get information; that his passage
to Santiago was with as much dispatch
as possible, keeping the squadron to-
gether: that the blockade'of Santiago
was effective and, finally, that he was
the senior officer off, Santiago, in alb
solute command, and entitled to the
credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruction
of the Spanish ships.
In view of the length OF time which
has elapsed since the occurrence Of
the events OF the Santiago campaign,
the court recommends NO further pro-
ceedings be had in the premises.

hind closed doors. THare were no sen
sat1onal Incidents during this entire

chlsdvely to a discussion OF the merits

provisions. The principal speech of
the day was male Nv Senator Teller
In opposition to he treaty anl he was
followed in RAPID succession. by IL or
Is other senators who spoke briefly
either for IT against the motion to
ratify..
When the resolution providing for
the ratification of the treaty was laid
before the senate Mr.. Teller of Colo
RADIO expressed confidence that the.
resolution would be adopted and said
ohat while he had no purpose to at
tempt to prevent that result he was
convinced that there are very few sen.
ators who. were really satisfied with,
the treaty. With Great Britain in her
present mood he said it. would have
been possible to secure a treaty which
would give entire satisfaction, and he
criticised the state department for fail
Ing to do SO. He took the position that
It would have been sufficient to abro-
gate the Clayton-B ulwer treaty, and
said that England knew we'll enough
that with that result accomplished she
could very we'll trust the United
States to maintain the neutrality of
the canal, as this country had been
prepared to do so for many years.

spoke in advocacy. of the treaty. He
commended that the treaty should te

ton of the 'Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
:. Senator Mason made a strong plea
for the treaty, expressing his. gratifca-

HALL CAME IN Politics

LONDON, October I9.-HaU Caine
mas consented to become a candidate
for the Manx parliament in behalf of
the town OF Ramsay. His opponent is
a local lawyer. Mr. Gaines address
has created CONSERVATION even among
ms own supporters, for he advocates
sweeping changes that might well be
planks in national platform of some
great reform party. First OF all, Mr.
Game wants to nationalist the steam
ship service connecting the Ise of Man
with England, running it without pro-
fit. Then he applies himself to the
ManX steam and street railroads and
would furnish the same radical system
TO them. Land must be treated I'm a
somewhat similar manner, the ManX
parliament controlling the drainage,
cultivation and tree planting. The
banks, Of course, are included i'm this
naturalization scheme, by which Mr..
Game believed that such financial scan
dals as occurred in the Isle of Man last
year would be avoided.
Mr.. Caine justifes these apparently
Improbable national undertakings by
pointing out that the primary factor
in Manx prosperity is the islands po-
pularity as a holiday resort and that
1t must prosper or decline as it meets
the needs of the visitors.

SAVE THE WHITE HOUSE.

The question as to what shall be done
TO provide "A suitable residence for the
chief executive of the nation again
comes into particular prominence. That
the White House does not meet the re-
quirements of the President and his
household seems generally to be adj
mitted. Tradition virtually demands
that the President shall reside in the
White House. The people would scarce
ly tolerate the idea that he should abide
elsewhere. The thought of new White
House. furthermore. is not welcome
one, and any suggestion of remodelns
and enlarging the old mansion has
never failed to arouse a storm of pro-
tests. Recently when the subject was
preached not only the people generally
but architects and artists, were quick
to take a decided stand against any
mutilation of the historic building. 1t
is considered almost sacred Could II be
demonstrated that any proposed
changes would add to the beauty of the
White House then objections might in
measure melt away. But to prove
that point to the satisfaction of the peo-
pie would be difficult. one rational
