well be considered as an advanced

1t IS new alignment as to the
rights, privileges and powers of the
United States, touching the ownership
and control of an isthmian canal, based
on the general principle of freedom
and neutrality of such a canal that is
declared in the Clayton -Bulwer treaty,
and is in accord with our we'll estab-
lished national policy, often declared
and never denied by the United States.
Whatever sacrifice it may involve
in benefits that might be otherwise
claimed as being exclusive in favor
of the United States in the absence
OF such an agreement for the benefit
of all nations, the American people
approve the spirit of this agreement
and will adhere to it as an additional
evidence of their friendly sentiment
toward all people who compete with
them honorably for the increase of the
facilities of commerce, and for the ex-
tension of good will to all the world"

SCHLEY TO KNOW HIS FATE.
Board of Inquiry May Report To-
aaS-Will- BE Probably Made Pub
lie without Change

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Schley
court of inquiry is nearing the end of
it's labors, and while it is impossible to
secure from the members or from the
Navy Department a statement as to
when the report will be submitted, 1t
is believed that it cannot be DELAYED
much more than twenty-four hours. 1t
was said at the department this after
noon that. at the close of Office hours,
the report was not finished. 1t is the
intention of Secretary Long to have
typewriter copies of it prepared i'm
mediately for the press. Although
clothed with reviewing authority, Sec
retary Long has said that he will not
exercise it in this case. The report
will be given to the public without
sthe slightest change, and without any
Endorsement in the nature of review
of the proceedings. The court was
again in session to-day, although Ad-
miral Dewey did not attend the after
noon meeting. Capt. Lemly, the judge
advocate of the court, paid visit to
the courtrooms this morning, and car
ried away some papers which, while
connected with the case, We're not the
report of the court. He has not vet
signed the report, as he expects to do.

Rates to Coastwise Vessels.

A very important question was rails
ed by a number of senators on the
Democratic side as to the right of the
United States to give a differential rate
to vessels engaged in our coastwise
trade This matter brought other SEN
ators from the Republican side of the
chamber into the controversy, Senators
Perkins and Nelson being among them.
Senator Nelson insisted that under ex-
listing law the United States would
have a perfect right to give to the
coastwise trade of this country any
benefit it might see proper in the use
of the canal. 1t was perfectly we'll un-
derstood, he said, that the ships of a
foreign nation could not do a coast
wise business. and Great Britain had
made the treaty with the full knowl-
edge of this fact. Senator Perkins
made the assertion that by the ac-
QUESTION or control of a strip of terri
tory through which the canal would
pass, the United States woud acquire
rights which would subject that terri
tory to our coastwise laws and said
foreign bottoms could not trade be-
tween ports of the United States and
any portion of the territory through
which the canal was built. This view
was combatted to a certain extent by
Senators Tillman and Bacon, the for
mer intimating the opinion that IL that
were true relative to the United
States, Great Britain, on account of her
Canadian possessions. and Mexico, both
extending from ocean to ocean, also
could contend for similar privileges.
This, he thought, would also be true of
any South American country whose
territory extends from ocean to ocean.
Senator Spooner was of contrary
opinion and insisted that these coun-
tries did not acquire any rights of a
coastwise trade character along the
route of the proposed canal, which ter
ritory was under the control of, or
which might be ceded to, the United

MRS. DENNIS MAY RECOVER.
Washington MOdiste Can Then Tell

Washington Modlste Can Then Tell
Her own story il She Chooses.
Washington, Dec. 12.-The mystery
of the assault made upon Mrs. Ada
Gilbert Dennis, the fashionable mod
iste, Tuesday morning, is still baf-
fling the police. At the hospital it was
stated to-day that If no complications
set in Mrs. Dennis will recover. She
is conscious at times. but so far has
not talked nationally
The police have found blood stains
on the floor of the balcony in front
of the first floor of Mrs. Dennis house
and many blood stains on the side
walk on Eleventh street around the
corner, from the scene of the attack.
They are disinclined to connect the
latter stains with the case but say
that the stains on the balcony indi-
cate that the one who committed the
assault had stepped over the balcony
railing on the front steps instead OF
dropping to the parking below the
balcony.
William Lansdale, a boy who passed
the house at midnight Monday, has
reported that he saw a man coming
uoWH Une front steps at the time, ana
that his action attracted the boys at
tention. The description of the man
given by the boy has been withheld by
the police. The police are more in
clined, however, to believe that the at
tack was made by a woman. 1t was
pointed out at headquarters to- day
that the window OF the parlor adjoin-
ing Mrs. Dennis sleeping room,
through which the marauder escaped,
had to be opened from the inside.
A mans overcoat, bearing many
stains in the front and sleeves, and a
Woman's apron, were found this after
noon in sewer about four blocks from
the Dennis house. Both articles were
submitted to the district chemist for
microscopic examination to determine
blood stains, but none were developed,
and the police do not regard the find
as important.

of Their LocaIities-WOuId Compel
White Unions TO Take In Negroes.
Said Alabama Delegate, and Bulk
of Southern Unions Would Secede.
The Resolution Defeated.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 12.-Much life
was infused into to-day's proceedings
of the convention of the American
Federation of Labor. The negro pro-
blem in the South, as far as it relates
to unionism, was Unexpectedly injected
into the proceedings, and the long
standing conflict between the Social
lists and trade unionists promised to
monopolize the attention of the dele
gates had the Socialists replied to the
trade unionists.
The Socialist incident came up at the
morning session, during the discussion
of a committee report indorsing most
of the recommendations contained in
President Gompers' annual report. Max
Hayes, of the Cleveland Central Labor
Union, read a long list of decisions
rendered by federal and state courts
against organized labor. A motion to
have the list printed in the minutes,
brought President Gompers, who was
not in the chair at the time, to his
feet, and the delegates were treated to
a three minute passionate speech. He
said it was unfair to incorporate the
list in the minutes in that way, and
suggested that list of the trade un-
ion victories should be printed along
with 1t. He concluded by denouncing
the attempt to show that trade union
ism is a failure" and characterized 1t
as an outrage. A wave of applause
swept over the convention as Mr.. Com
pers took his seat. The motion was de-
feated.
The committees suggestion that the
defense fund be raised by national and
local unions instead of by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, was adopted.
The negro question came up when
the Committee. on. Law reported res
olution compelling all local unions atii-
| iliated with the Federation to join the
| central labor bodies in their respective
| localities. William Henry Clay, one of
| the two negro delegates from Virginia,
made the point that the Federation last
week, in deciding a contested seat
where the color lihe was brought into
question, had authorized the creation
of a separate central union in Rich
mond for negro workmen.
The resolution was debated for more
than an hour by many delegates.
Charles c. Eckard of the Admission.
Ala, trades council, made the princi-
pal speech in opposition to the resolu-
tion. He said the proposition would
compel white unions to take in ne
groes, and If adopted by the convention,
80 per cent. of the unions south of
Mason and Dixon's line would secede
from the Federation. He said the peo-
pie of the North did not understand
the negro problem.
His remarks had some influence on
the delegates and the resolution, on
recommendation of the Committee on
Law, was defeated.
Two resolutions were reported on
the question of organizing the COM
mon laborers into large unions, and
both were recommended to be sent to
the Executive Council, with instruc-
tions for that body to take up the
mater and report at the next conven-
ion.

WILL ADJOURN TONIGHT.
Legislative Agony VIII Soon he
Over Military Reorganization
Bill Is on the Table.

Atlanta, Dec. 12.-Outside Of the
passage of the Howell resolution neith-
er the House nor the Senate did any,
thing of consequence to-day. In the
House a bill was passed authorizing
the Superior Court of Richmond coun-
ty to hold four sessions a year in
stead Of two.
The resolution of Mr.. George of
Morgan, requiring that a committee
of seven members OF the Legislature
be appointed TO visit other states and
study the school systems and COM
pare them with the system in Geor-
gia was tabled, despite the hard work
of Mr. George to get IL passed.
During the morning while local
bills were on their passage no quorum
voted. Speaker pro tenn Harris put
the vote several times and when no
quorum voted he ordered the doors
locked and from IL o'clock until 12
when the House adjourned, none OF
the members we're allowed to leave
tn hall.
The House will adjourn sine die to-
morrow night. 1t Is expected that all
bills which have been passed by the
Senate can be completed in the House
by 20 O'Clock.
The military reorganization bill came

Military Affairs and was tabled An
effort will be made TO get 1t up again

WANTED TO GO TO LIBERIA.
old Negro Couple at Capital Deter
mined to See the President-Said
Gov. Gambler Sent Them.


Gov. Gambler Sent Them.
Washington, Dec. 12.-Among the
callers at the White House to-day
was a venerable negro couple from
Atlanta. They gave their names as
Mr.. and Mrs Peter Smith. AS they
climbed the stairway to the presi-
Dental waiting room the woman. who
seemed to be the spokesman for the
family, stated that she had come to
see the President of the United States
in the interest of her people. She
said there was a good deal of talk
among the colored people OF the South
about going to Liberia. She and her
husband went 70 see Gov. Gambler and
he told them that all they had to do
was to come and see President Roose-
welt and he would send them to LII
IBERIA cheerfully.
Arthur Simmons, the negro messen-
ger who presides at the door OF Sec
retary Cortelyou, endeavored to per-
suade the old couple that their mis-
sion, so far as the. President was con-
cerned, was a hopeless one. Simmons
explained to them that the constitution
of the United States does not au-
thorize the President to furnish means
of transportation for colored citizens
of the United States who desire 70
emigrate to Liberia. His constitutions
al argument apparently had no weight
with the Atlanta couple, for they in
sisted that Gov. Gambler had told
them how easy it would be for the
President to send them to Liberia,
and they intended to wait their chance
to see the President.
1t was then suggested by Simmons
that they place their statement in
writing and send it to the President
through Secretary Cortelyou.
mo, indeed" said the old woman.
1--WE is not to be put off like that;
Gov. Gambler told us to see President
Roosevelt, and we means to see him"
The Smith family was still in the
waiting room when the hour for re-
ceiVing official visitors had expired.

CARNEGIE'S GIFT HELD UP.
President Is Dubious About Accept
ing Bonds of United States Steel
Corporation.

ing Bonds of united states steel
Corporation.
Washington, Dec. 12.-It transpires
that the gift of $1O.oOO,OOO which An
drew Carnegie rendered to President
Roosevelt for the founding of a great
institution for higher education was
not an offer of $10,000,00O in cash, but
the par value of that amount in bonds
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion. The offer of these bonds is en-
barrassing to the administration ow-
ing to the complication which might
arise If the government accepted them,
and the President, 1t is understood,
is now in correspondence with Mr.
Carnegie about the matter. 1t is un-
derstood to be his desire that the
bonds be converted into cash. If this
is done the only obstacle in the path
of the acceptance of the generous gift
of Mr. Carnegie will be removed.
Pending the result of this corre-
spondence Mr.. Carnegie's offer is being
withheld from Congress. The Presi-
dent has conferred with several prom
inent senators and representatives
about the matter within the last day
or two and all concur with him in
the belief that the acceptance by the
government of bonds in the big steel
corporation might subject the admin
istration to criticism and might prove
exceedingly embarrassing in the fu-
ture.
1t is pointed out for instance, that
in the event of legal proceedings by
the department of justice in connec-
tion with the corporation, the hold
ing Of the company's bonds by the
government might lead to adverse crit
icism. The suggestion that the gov
ernment accept the bonds and then
Objectionable.

THE COMMITTED ON COMMERCE.
Vest Gives Way to Berry as Head
of Bridge subcommittee.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Senate
Committee on Commerce held a meet
ing to-day for the purpose of organic
ing it's subcommittee and referring to
them the bills which have reached the
committee. The most important change
made in the sub committees was the
substitution of Senator Berry as chair
man of the Sub Committee on Bridges
for Senator Vest. This position has
been held by Senator Vest for great
many years, but was voluntarily sur
rendered by him on account of his
health.
The ship-subsidy bill was referred to
the Subcommittee on Ships and Ship
ping, of which Senator Frye is chair
man, and of which Senator Hanna is
a member. The measure was not dis
cussed.
There are two bills before the Com
mittee for the Establishment of an
Executive Department of the govern
ment, to be known as the Department
of Commerce. and they were referred
to a special subcommittee, consisting
of Senators Nelson, Hanna and Clay
