THE PHILIPPINE BILL.
Unable to Fix q Date for a Vote on
It

In the Senate this afternoon Senator
Lodge endeavored to secure agreement
with the democrats fixing day to end de-
bate on the Philippines bill. Senator Du-
bois, speaking for the democrats. expressed
disinclination TO finish the debate. He said
that several senators on his side of the
chamber. and probably some on the other
SIDE desired TO speak.
Senator Lodge then gave notice that. fail
ing to secure an agreement to close debate,
he would be compelled TO ask the Senate
to take the bill up every day upon assem-
bling and consider it continuously until IL
was concluded.
Senator Hale of Maine said that he did
not think the democrats intended 10 make
delay unnecessarily upon the bill, and he
felt that by the end of next week. il debate
were permitted to run along, Ii could be
closed.
Senator Cockrell. on the democratic side.
said there was no inclination on the part
OF the democrats to have delay for delays
sake. He assured the Senate that the DEM
ocrats only desired TO debate the bill freely,
and that vote could be taken within q
reasonable time. With this understanding
debate continued. Senator Lodge giving no.
tice that he would ask the Senate to take
the bill up daily at ~ o'clock and discuss
it without other business breaking In.

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Hearing by the House Committee on
Merchant Marine

A hearing of the ship subsidy bill was
held this morning by the House committee
on merchant marine and fisheries. Andrew
Wheeler, Philadelphia business man, and
Alexander R. Smith, superintendent of the
Maritime Association of the Port of New
York, both told the committee of the inn
portance of favorable action on the subsidy
bill at this session.
Mr.. Wheeler stated that he had no ships,
nor did he have any interest financially in
shipping, but he had given considerable
study to the labor problems of this country,
and was impressed with the great necessity
for federal encoura cement along all lines of
industry.
A subsidy to American ships, Mr.. Wheeler
contended, would do more along this line
than any proposed measure. K would bene-
fit labor not only in all of the industries
connected with the construction and opera
ton of American ships, but would build up
our export trade and put new life in all of
the great industries connected herewith.
Mr.. Smith gave the committee his con-
clusions regarding the Morgan steamship
merger. This merger, he said, had demon
Strated beyond a doubt that American capi-
tai was perfectly able to take care of itself.
1t was American labor that needed aid.
Through the merger American capital had
been invested in foreign shipping. Should
Congress fail to make il an object for this
consolidation of capitalists to build up and
operate their lines of ships under the
American flag, that capital would be used
to build up foreign ship yards and to pay
foreign seamen.
Mr.. Smith has been making some COM
PARSONS from the census statistics 1t will
take, he concludes, 100000 tons of shipping
to carry American exports. At the rate we
are now building ships it will be just 172
years before We will have ships enough to
carry our own commerce.
The committee took no action on the bill

NEGOTIATIONS CONCLUDED.
Treaties for Right of Way for 18th

The negotiations between Secretary Hay
and the inisters from Colombia, Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica looking to the ac-
qurement of the necessary rights for.t
construction by the United States govern
ment of either the Panama or the Mica
ragua canal have at last been concluded,
and tomorrow the Secretary of State will
be able to send to the Senate three treaties
covering the ground. The treaty with CO.
lombia was completed some weeks ago,
but has been held up in order that no sign
of preference might be gathered from the
laying Of one before the Senate in advance
of the others. The ministers from Mica
ragua and Costa Rica were at the State De-
partment today and were able to announce
that the last obstacles had been removed,
so that all three treaties will be sent in at
once. The general features Of these con
ventions have been already set out in the
press, but from sense of the courtesy due
the United States Senate, the parties to
the conventions declined to discuss the de-
tails. which, however, are not of great in
terest.

THOUGHT TROUBLEOV

LONDON. May 1.-THE correspondeut of
the London Times at Paris, NJ. de Blowitz.
supplies his paper this morning with an ac-
count of the ST. Pierre disaster, telegraph
ed to him by friend from Fort de France,
Martinique, under date of yesterday by
way of the Island OF Malta. 1t SAYS:
For three weeks Mont Pelee had been
vomiting clouds of smoke but the smoke
seemed produced normally that it was
permissible for even those who were in
clined to look on the dark side not to dread
catastrophe. At Fort de France, where
the agitation of Mont Pelee attracted, as 4.
went on, much attention, any anxiety
which existed gradually died down, when,
May ., violent eruption of mud, the hot
ashes having been mingled with water in
the crater, overwhelmed Guerins works,
killing twenty-three persons, and the river
in the north of the island, now swollen by
muddy torrent noisily overfiowed.
On May 8, while there were still deliber-
atoms going on at Fort de France and st.
Pierre. where the night had been passed in
anguish and ignorance as to whether the
eruption OF mud was the precursor OF OF
the end of the disaster, st. Pierre was,
within ten minutes annihiated."
After City Was Demolished.
Describing ST Pierre after it had been de-
molished the correspondent says:
"A portion of the upper. town was razed
by cloud of fire, which increased as it ad-
vanced and crumbied everything in its
course. In the lower town near the harbor
few walls bearing traces of fire remained
standing. To the stupefaction of those ia
miliar with the spot the town clock re-
mained intact, as If to show the precise mo-
ment of the disaster, marking t:1o; and this
sinister indication deeply affected all who
saw it. On the other hand the telegraph
office and its contents were burned. Some
fragments of the apparatus were thrown a
hundred yards. Bodies, whose attitudes
were perceptible, were lying PROSTATE, with
the bowels protrCdng though forced out
by the tension of the heat and with the
backs partially carbonized.
1T is melancholy and almost humliat-
ing thing that the site of St. Pierre has to
be guarded by the military, for numerous
pirates from the neighboring islands were
preparing to come and lay hands on any
thing of value
