COL. GooDLoE THE SENIOR.
Question of Precedence in the Marine
Corps Decided.

A longstanding question of precedence
in the marine corps has been settled by the
Attorney General. II was whether Col
Geo. c. Reid, adjutant and Inspector or Col
Green Clay Goodloe, paymaster, is the senior
staff officer of the corps. Incidentally the
question was involved whether seniority of
service or seniority of previous rank deter
mined the standing Of officers promoted to
the same grade on the same day
Colonel Reid became second lieutenant
of the marine corps in 1864 Colonel Good
lOe was appointed q second lieutenant in
1869. When they were both first lieuten-
ants Goodloe was promoted to be major and
paymaster. Seventeen years later Reid be-
came a major and adjutant Inspector
Up to March 3, 1899, Goodloe was Reid s
senior in the staff. On that day they were
both promoted to be colonels. Reid claimed
that having entered the service before
Goodoe he was Goodloe's senior as colonel.
Goodloe claimed that having been Reid s
senior major he also ranked Reid as
colonel.
The judge advocate general of the navy
decided in favor of Goodloe. An appeal was
taken two months ago to the Attorney Cen
eral, who has confirmed the Judge advocate
generals opinion.
The Attorney General held that "the mere
promotion of two officers does not disturb
their preceding rank, and that therefore
Colonel Goodloe continues to outrank Colo
mel Reid"

members number of papers, including let
ters from the United States minister to
Denmark, Mr.. Swenson; Henry White, sec
retary of the United States embassy at Lon

been the central figure in connection with
the charges. Secl atary Hay forwarded the
letters without commenting on their con-
tents
Mr.. Swensons letter incloses that handed
to him by Capt Christmas, in which the
latter states that Neils Gron obtained his
confidential report by foul means; that he
has reason to believe Gron falsfied it, and

contained. He says he never tried to i'm
press Minister Horring that bribery was
the only way of getting the islands sold.
He had not given the name of any con-
gresham in connection with the use Of
money. He makes a general denial of sew
eral matters.

Christmas character and absurd and con-
Trajectory statements he attaches i'm

pany sent letter, in which he says he
had but one interview with Christmas, and
that was devoid of Importance. He adds:

ownership of twenty-six United States SEN
ators, is simply a falsehood, and so abb
surd on its face that it is hardly worth re-
ferring to-
Mr. Rogers offered to come as a witness
If the committee wanted him.
Richard 2. Evans, one of the attorneys
mentioned, denied some of the statements
made concerning himself
Mr.. Rogers will not be asked to appear,
but Chairman DalZell has written him to

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
No Treaty to Be Submitted This Ses-
sion.

1t has been determined that no reciprocity
treaty with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session of Congress. It-was at first
planned that. in the event of the failure of
the administration managers In the Senate
to secure favorable action on the Cuban su-
gar bill, a treaty would be drafted at once.
This was on the understanding that Senior
Quesada. the Cuban minister here, had full
powers and that a treaty could be drawn
in Washington entirely. It Is stated now,
however, that this cannot be- and any draft
of treaty must go to Havana and be re-
turned before 1t can be submitted to the
Senate. Therefore, unless all estimates are
astray as to the date of adjournment of the
present session OF Congress, 1t Is physical
impossibility to prepare and submit treaty
at the present session. No confidence is
felt in administration circles as to the abili-
ty of the Senate managers to secure the
ratification of treaty. even If one is
drawn. and while the President may feel
called upon to put the matter to test, 1t
will be rather with the idea Of demonstrate
ing his own purpose to do everything possi-
bic for Cuba. than with any expectation
that two-third vote for ratification could
be had from the same body from which 1t
was impossible to secure a majority vote
for similar proposition.

TO VISIT THE ISLANDS.
Proposed Investigation of Insular Con-
ditiouS

The committee on Porto Rico and Pacific
islands of the Senate today agreed to re-
port favorably Senator Foraker's resolution
authorizing the committee to visit the
Islands for the purpose of familiarizing its
members with conditions prevailing there.
The committee decided to postpone final
consideration of the bill providing for the
disposal of the Hawaiian public lands until
the question could be investigated by the
Interior Department. Another question
postponed until next December is that of
the disposal of the property claimed by the
Catholic Church in Porto Rico. There is
about S;D0,OO0 worth of real estate in the
island which passed to the United States
under the terms of the peace treaty, but
which is claimed by the church. The ques-
tion is somewhat complicated, and the com
mittee has decided that more time should De
given to it than is possible during the re-
naming days of the present session.

STRIKE AT TORONTO
PROSPECT TODAY OF SETTLE.
MENT OF THE TROUBLE.
Attempts to Run Street Cars Yester-
day Resulted in Serious
Rioting.

way company made no attempt to run its

would be running by afternoon
Rioting Yesterday.
A dispatch from Toronto yesterday saws:
The first attempt made by the Toronto
street railway to run their cars with men
tormen and conductors was met with vio-
lence. Only one effort was made to reopen
the traffic. and the temper shown by the
strikers and their sympathizers convinced
the officials that 1t would be impossible to
run cars without strong protection. 1t was
therefore decided to appeal to the ant hori-
ties for troops and to suspend operations
until their arrival tomorrow morning
Stones, sticks, eggs and stale vegetables
were the weapons used by the strike SYM
pathizers to prevent the railway company
from giving a service. Several of the i'm
ported men were roughly handled by the
mob, and Motorman johnson, an Old en-
pioye OF the company, came near losing his
life.
Where Worst Trouble Occurred.
The worst riots occurred at the corner
Of Scollard and Yonge and Bloor and
Yonge streets. in proximity to the York
vile barns. Very few arrests were made
This morning cars were started simul-
taneously from the barns at King street
west. Queen street west. Yorkville, Dun
das and Yonge streets. A crowd had
gathered about the entrance of the barns
awaiting developments The appearance
of a car at the Yonge street barn was the
signal for hooting and yelling by the crowd
The car was run out on the main track
and the conductor gave the motorman the
signal to go ahead The crowd called upon
the crew to desert the car. Their refusal
to do so was followed by shower of
stones and bricks. Every window In the
car was smashed and the crew left their
posts and ran into the barn.

DATE OF ADJOURNMENT
CONGRESS TO GET AWAY EARLY
IN JULY.
Only Subject Of Legislation Which
Causes Concern is the Philip
pines Bill.

Unless some obstacle at present unfore-
seen lnterposes, it is the judgment of the
leaders in the House and Senate that ad-
Journment of Congress can be reached be-
tween the 1st and 4th Of July. The only
subject Of legislation which causes concern
is the Philippine bill There is difference
Of opinion between the House and Senate
as to the terms of this measure, and it is
possible that democrats of the Senate may
prolong the debate upon final agreement.
Inasmuch as the passage Of the bill is in
eyitable, however, the Senate leaders hope
that the democratic debate will be mini
mized, and that the report of the confer
ence committee shaping the differences of
opinion between the two houses can be
pushed to speedy adoption.
Canal Bill to Go Through.
No serious obstruction of the isthmian
canal bill is expected. An element in Con-
gress is entirely willing, if it should find it
has the power, to prevent perfected legisla-
tion upon this subject. This element is en-
deavorng to stir up trouble between the
House and Senate, but the best judgment is
that 1t will not be successful, and that the
Panama bill will be adopted. The attitude
of the democrats in the House has not been
permanently agreed upon, but it is the judg-
ment of some of the democratic leaders
that in the circumstances it will be best, as
a political move, to accept the Senate bill
and put the responsibility of securing the
canal upon the republican administration
and party.
The appropria ton bills are in very good
shape. The conference reports on the army
and navy bill will be disposed of by the m d.
die of this week, it Is hoped, when the Dis
trict Of Columbia bill and the general de-
ficiency bill will come up. conference reports
on these measures being ready at that time
There are no other bills of great conse-
quence likely to engross the attention Of
Congress within the next week. The union
railway station bill Is expected to be agreed
upon the differences between the House and
the Senate to be compromised anu an ac-
ceptable measure passed
The Statehood Bills.
There was some talk today of the possi-
bility of friction in the Senate over the bill
admitting the territories to statehood SEN
ator Quay has been very much in favor of
passing these bills, tIt the Senate leaders
have been opposed to action. There were
mutterings today Of a possible revolt of
some Of the western senators against the
dictum Of the leaders, but nothing definite
in that direction has been decided upon 1t
is believed.
