SURPRISE is FELT
At Washington at Spain's Attitude on
the Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Surprise is
negotiations for the Spanish American
treaty are delayed owing to Spanish
objections to the provision relative to
the holding of lands by the citizens of
one country in the other. This point
was discussed pretty thoroughly some
months ago and Mr.. Storer reported
that it had been satisfactorily adjusted.
The Spanish government wished its
citizens to have power to hold lands in
the United States on terms of equality
with American citizens, being willing
in return to allow similar privileges to
Americans in Spain.
The difficulty in the way consisted in
certain United States statutes prohib-
iting or limiting alien ownership of
lands, particularly in the territories
and the District of Columbia. This diff
ficulty was finally removed, it was sup
posed, by the agreement of the United
States government to give Spaniards
the most favored nation treatment in
this matter.
This, according to the common con-
struction of treaties, would give them
the same privileges as American citi-
zens to hold lands and stocks. OF
course, the new treaty will have all the
force of law, and, under the supreme
courts decision, if it conflicts with ex-
listing law upon any such. point as alien
ownership of lands, the note supersedes
such law

The jury was fully warranted in find

10 PER CENT. INCREASE

wages will be advanced 10 per cent The
Iron Works. which employ upwards of
5000 hands, are owned by NJ. c. d. Bor-
den of New York, and are independent
of the other mills, which had decided to
grant only slightly over per cent.
The move on the part of Mr.. Borden
was not entirely unexpected. as indicated
in The Associated Press dispatches. yes
terday. What its effect will be on the
situation here is problematic but some of
the union officials appear to think that
the other manufacturers of Fall River
will feel that ii is necessary for them to
increase the rate of advance in wages
from to 10 per cent.
Some of the manufacturers. however.
who have grown accustomed to Mr. Ror-
dens lightning moves state that what
ever he does will have no effect on the
situation in the association mills. There
are those, however. who fear that If the
mill men do not make the increase as
great as that announced, today, at the
Iron Works, general strike will result.

WHAT SHALL HE DO?
President May Not Attend Charleston
Exposition as Intended.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The action OF
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman of South Carolina
in withdrawing the invitation to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to present sword to a
South Carolina officer for volunteer
services in the Spanish-American wal
has caused considerable doubt as to
whether President Roosevelt will visit
the Charleston Exposition as he had
intended to do.
A number of kilograms on the sub
ject were received, today, at the White
House from South CAROLINA and other
states. 1t can be said that the tele-
gram of Lieut.. Gov. Tillman has been
received at the White House and that
no attention whatever has been paid
to it.
The President has not yet considered
what effect it may have on his pro-
posed visit to the Exposition at

NOTHING BUT cENsURE
Will Be Given TiIIman and MeLaurin
by the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections which was APP
pointed, yesterday, to formulate a sug-
gestion for the proper punishment of
Senators Tiflman and McLaurin of
South Carolina for their offense in the
Senate, last Saturday practically con-
cluded, today, to recommend that the
two senators be severely censured for
their conduct. and that the punishment
be limited to censure. The sub-com-
mittee consists of Senators Burrows.
Hoar and Foraker, Republicans and
Senators Pettus and Bailey, Demo-
Gratis. All We're present at the early
part of the meeting. but Senator Bailey
was compelled by indisposition to leave
the conference before it's close.
Today's meeting was very harmoni-
Gus and little difference of opinion de-
veloped. The Republican members of
the subcommittee did not themselves
contend for resolution suspending the
two senators. but represented that
there were some Republican members
OF the full committee who adhere to
the opinion that through suspension
only can adequate punishment be met
ted out to the offending members.
Senator Beveridge it is understood,
was among the most strenuous advo-
Gates of this form Of proceeding and
Senator McComas is inclined to agree
with him. Some doubt is expressed as
to whether they will unite in a report
limiting punishment to censure.
On the other hand some of the Demo-
cratic members made it very plain
that they not only would not agree in

luton of suspension but that if such a
