MEASURES IN CONGRESS.
SENATE TO TAKE UP NEW HAY-PAUNCE
FOTE TREATY TO-DAY-PHILIP-

Rr The Associated Press }


Washington, Dec S.-The only measure OF i'm
portance which the Senate has its calendar
for the present week is the new Hay-Paunce-
Tote Treaty, making provision for the abrogation
Of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, and opening the
way for the unobstructed construction Of an
isthmian canal by the United States. Acting
for the Committee Foreign Relations. Senator
Lodge will ask the Senate TO go into executive
session tomorrow for the consideration Of the
treaty and in each day thereafter until the con-
Fenrion is disposed Of.
II can be said that at this time the prospect
Is very strong that the treaty Will be ratified,
and il now looks if this result would be Sc
cured after comparatively little delay. There
viii be some debate. and some features of the
document will be criticised undesirable but
there is no probability Of captious opposition
The criticism will be along the lines indicated
by Senators Money and Bacon in the Committee
On Foreign Relations at its meeting on Friday
last
The principal authors OF the Criticism or the
treaty are Southern Senators who are, gener-
ally, very anxious for the construction Of the
canal They find that all canal legislation will
be tied up until action can be secured on the
treaty. and they are On this account, less liable
man they otherwise would be to do anything to

active friends Of the treaty claim that rati

opinion is very general that ratification Will be
obtained before the Christmas holidays.
Beyond the consideration Of the treaty little
business will be undertaken before the holidays.
It is now generally agreed that the question Of
reciprocity will go over until January, probably
without so much being mentioned and IL may
be added that from being for a time the subject

taken a position among the matters which will
not be vigorously urged. When the reciprocity
treaties do come up for consideration, there will
be persistent opposition to the agreement with
France and to that with Great Britain

much feeling over the conventions with the
South American republics. The present outlook
also is against any immediate action in the Sen

should be a temporary enactment of the Ding

TO TRY DIAMOND TOMORROW
COMMISSIONER MURPHY WILL USE EvI-
DENCE WHICH CONVICTED THE
CAPTAIN AT ALBANY

Captain Thomas ]. Diamond, who was con-
victed of neglect of duty and fined $1,000 by
Justice Herrick, at Albany, will be placed on
trial before Commissioner Murphy at Police
Headquarters tomorrow. 1t was Diamond $
wish to be tried by Deputy Commissioner Dew
cry, who is his personal friend. The fact that
he will be obliged to face Commissioner Murphy
is taken to mean that he will not be dealt with
leniently, and will probably be dismissed from
the force. The captain has been under suspen-
sion for some time.
Chief Inspector Cortright filed formal COM
plant against Captain Diamond on Saturday
charging him with neglect of duty. Commits
sioner Murphy, who received the complaint. i'm
rnediately informed Captain Diamond that he
should appear before him morrow morning at
10 o'clock Frederick B. House will appear as
Diamonds counsel. The testimony taken in the
trial before Justice Herrick. on which Diamond
was, convicted. will be offered as evidence, and
the captain will be permitted to combat it The
trial will be public. Commissioner Murphy says
that he has consulted the best legal advice. and
is certain that the proceedings before him Will
be in accordance with law

mr. ET4RTs AND THE FUTURE LIFE
He WAS NOT INTERESTED IN PHILIPPINES
BECAUSE he WAS NOT GOING THERE
[B7 TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUsE,I

TBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNEl
Washington Dec S-Whue in Washington last
week Ambassador Choate told new story of
the late William Maxwell Evarts, who was for
MANY wears his law partner. According TO Mr..
Choate Mr. Evarts for four years before he died
was firmly impressed with the belief that he was
liable to pass over to the great beyond at any
moment So deeply was this thought embedded
in mis- mind that when his friends were around
him Mr.. Evarts talked about nothing except the
great mystery, death and what was TO come
after breath left the body.
While he was not afraid to meet it. still the
famous lawyer yearned constantly for light on
the questions propounded in Hamlets soliloquy,
He told Mr.. Choate and other close friends who
called upon him regularly 10 cheer him up that.
Of course he believed in future state, but at the
same time he had 10 acknowledge that this be-
lief was wholly based upon hope rather than
actual conviction For" said Mr.. Evarts. no
traveller from that bourne has yet returned TO
tell US about it
Toward the end Mr. Evarts concerned himself
largely with the question TO what sort of a
place Heaven is. and also what sort Of place the
opposite to Heaven is. He felt safe enough that
the all wise Master would not send him to the
other place. as during his long career he had
never Intentionally or CONSCIOUSLY done wrong.
But al the same time he was extremely anxious
to know what the mansion in the sky was like
and how the InyriadS there lived.
In the hope one day Of diverting Mr. Evartss
mind from this line of thought, Mr.. Choate asked
him what he thought Of the Philippines. The
Philippines" inquired. Mr.. Evarts. What do
you mean -
why replied Choate. you know that as
result of the war with Spain have the Philip
pine Islands on our hands, and their acquisition
is furnishing subject of worldwide discus
sion"
Mr.. Evarts was silent for moment, and then
his face Frightening, he said: Yes. I remember
TO have heard of the Philippines, Choate; but
am NOT interested in them, as am sure not to
go there.

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
tlveS take of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger percent
age Of cures.
One Of the best reasons for
good hope is the record OF Scott S
Emulsion as a medicine for con-
surnptives. So long as the sys-
tenn is strong enough to use med
lcine of any kind it can use
Scott s Emulsion.
The reason for its helpfulness
IN this disease is because OF its
long tolerance by the patient;
one does not tire of it as quickly
as other medicines and that is
where the great benefit comes
