tory TOT increased 6usihess
 Charles Overlook left yesterday for Douglas on his return from California, where he has been to place his son in a business college in that state.
 Mir Overlook says that Southern California is the garden spot of the great southwest.
 q know of no place where there are so many beautiful places of resort which can be visited more economical ly than Southern California" said MT. Overlook. T visited the many re- sorts along the coast and all seemed to be well attended. There are a great many Arizona people there and many from the southern part of the territory.
 "I visited the saw mills in the cen tral part of the state and found great deal of work being done there. That country expects to supply this section to a great extent since the freight rates are lowered now where they cal. compete. This will be of advantage to us for some of the finest lumber comes from Northern California. There is extensive inquiry being made concerning the conditions that pre- vail here and especially regarding the mining industry"

Greene was seen at his car and in relation to the meeting. said: We have just come in from Cal ifornia and will go on to Cananea at once The stockholders of the com pany will be there tomorrow to attend the meeting of the directors, which occurs at Cananea.

 This will be an important meeting IS we are arranging to lay out a great deal of money on increased machin- cry, which must be installed at once to meet the growing demands of the mine
 "Yes, we are working all the men that we have room for and as fast as there is room a greater force will be added. It is our purpose to give the mine every advantage to show the world what the Cananea copper prop i, erty. is.
 When asked what the pay roll at the Cananeas is Mr. Greene stated in sn off-hand way, "Oh, half million" |"

 When asked if there are other prop critics in the Cananea district, NIT Greene stated: ''This is the greatest copper district of the world. There are numerous deposits in this sectior which will later be the marvel of the century. They will gradually be open cd up and operated as fast as condi tons are ripe"

VAR TAX
DOOMED
House Rushes Through
the Bill to That End
Unanimously
Gag Rule to Head Off Mr..
Babcock Carried by
Debate
And Democratic Leaders
Refuse to Make
Opposition

Washington, Feb. 18.-The unex-
pected happened in the house yester-
day when the bill to repeal the war
revenue taxes passed unanimously
without word of debate. This ac-
ton was the outcome of the challenge
thrown down by Mr.. Richardson OF
Tennessee, minority leader. after the
adoption by strict party vote OF the
special order for consideration of the
bill which permitted debate upon it
until 4 o'clock this afternoon but cut
off all opportunity to offer amendments
except such as had been agreed upon
by the ways and means committee.
The adoption of the rule had been pre-
ceded by a stormy debate, in the
course of which the democrats pro-
tested against uAe application of the
gag" which Mr.. Hay of Virginia
charged was meant to prevent free eX-
preston, not only by the democrats
hut by some republicans, attention be
ing especially directed toward Mr..
Babcock of Wisconsin, father of the
bill to amend the steel schedule of
the present tariff law. They also
charged such a method of procedure
was minimizing the influence OF the
house and making it simply a ma
chine to register the decree of a few
men in control Mr. Babcock said he
supported the program on the ground
that the issue presented for the re-
peal of the war revenue taxes should
not be complicated with other mat
ters. At the same time he gave NO
tice that he would press his own bill
at the first opportunity. Mr.. Dalzell
of Pennsylvania, scored a point
against the minority by recalling the
time under democratic control of the
house, when $40 amendments to the
Wilson tariff bill was forced through
without being read. When the rule
was adopted by 1853 to 100, Mr.. Rich.
ardson, to emphasize the fact that the
debate on the bill could accomplish
nothing and that deliberation upon it
would be fruitless, asked that by
unanimous consent the bill be placed
upon it's passage. Not an objection
was voiced and the vote was taken
forthwith. Every vote, 278 in NUM-
Der was cast in the affirmative and
thus quietly and unanimously came
the end of what at one time had prom
ised to be one of the exciting contests
of the session.

Big BLIZZARD RAGING

Gale Resembles Hurricane
on SeaCOast Towns

New York, Feb 18.-This city has
borne the brunt of the fercest snow
storm that has struck this section
since the great blizzard of 1888. Be-
ginning soon after midnight the
storm increased rapidly until by
daybreak the whole city was COM

force of the gale piled the snow in
great drifts that for a time almost
suspended traffic, except in the main
thOrOughfares where the car tracks
were only kept open by the constant
use of snowplows and sweepers.
Mail trains in all directions are de-
layed, and the delivery of mail is
made difficult by snow blockades in
the streets. In the shopping district
the blockade is so complete that sew
eral of the great department stores
closed at o'clock.
Two thousand men are engaged in
opening cross walks while 1000 more
work all night clearing the main
streets. Street railway traffic was
blocked for hours, while elevated
trains were considerably delayed.
In Brooklyn the blockade was more
general than in Manhattan and Staten
Islanders suffered more than resi-
dents of any of the boroughs of
greater New York.
Much trouble was experienced in

RATlFIES DANISH
ISLANDS TREATY
SENATE DlSPosEs OF TREATY
WITH DENMARK.
LITTLE OPPOSITION MADE
Upper House Puts Through Bill Es-
tabIishing Permanent Census
Office-Mr. Smith of Michigan
Would Have President Negotiate
Reciprocity Sugar Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Yesterday in
little more than an hours time, the
senate disposed of the treaty with
Denmark ceding to the United States
for the consideration Of S5,00U000 the
islands Of st. Thomas, st. John and
st. CrOix, composing the group OF An
titles known as the Danish West IN
dies and lying just east of Porto Rico
and thus, so far as this country IS
concerned, cOnsummated d transac-
ton which had been under consider
alton intermittedly since the admins
tratiOn of President Lincoln.
The treaty and report on 1t were
read at length and more or less dis
cussion Of the proposition was in
dulged in. Senator CulIom, chairman
OF the committee on foreign relations
made speech explaining the advan-
tages OF the acquisition OF the Islands
and Senators Bacon and McLaurin OF
Mississippi made brief remarks, say
ing while they could not endorse all
the provisions of the agreement they
would place no obstacles in the way
Of ratification.
At the conclusion OF the remarks,
on SeantOr CullOm's motion, the
treaty was ratified by v1ve voce
vote.
After an extended debate the senate
passed the bill establishing the per-
manent census Office. The discussion
related principally to the collection
and publication by the director of the
census of statistics respecting the
production of cotton. Senator ALI
son vigorously opposed the provision,
maintaining that cotton statistics
gathered by the department of agrl-
culture were complete and accurate
and that no necessity existed Tor their
duplication. Despite his opposition,
the provision was inserted in the bill
Several other bills of Importance on
the calendar, were passed, among
them one extending the charters OF
the national banks.
For Reciprocity in Sugar.
Representative H. c. Smith of
Michigan introduced bill amending
the act of July "a. 1897. by authorlz-
ing the president to negotiate a reel
procity treaty between the United
States and Cuba for a period of ten
years, by which the United States
shall refund to the Cuban government
quarterly 40 per cent. OF the duties
on condition that Cuba shall grant a
concession of all duties on articles
imported by Cuba from the United
States and on condition that no du-
ties shall be refunded on any article
for the Introduction of which any
bounty has been offered, provided for
or paid.
1t is explained that Mr. Smiths bill
is in line with the general sentiment
of the Michigan delegation to protect
the beet sugar industry of that state
as the refunding proposed is to the
Cuban government and not to the
sugar planters.

ON THE RAIL


The Chicago and Grand Trunk, Can
adam Pacific and other roads oper-
ating across the border may establish
pension plans for employees. Officers
of the Grand Trunk have written to Of
ficials of the Illinois Central company
in Chicago asking for full information
regarding the workings of the pen
sion system now in effect on the lat
ter line. On the lines of the Grand
Trunk east of Port Huron, or the Can
adian branches, a superannuated re-
lief system now prevails. 1t has been
in existence a number Of years and is
different from any Of the numerous
relief and pension plans of other
transportation companies. Under the
Grand Trunks rules the fund is main
tanned by the employees. From the
wages and salaries of every employe
on the system there is deducted every
month 21a per cent. of the total remu-
neration. For example, if an employe
receives $50 per month, s1.20 Is de-
Quoted every month for the superanu-
ated fund. Under the provisions an
employe is retired when he reaches
the age of 55. If he should sever his
connection with the road after he has
served five years all the money ne
has paid into the fund will be refund
ed. If he quits before he has worked
that long he is given back no part of
the money paid in, nor is he given any
refund if he resigns after serving lon
ger than five years. AS no person
over 35 years old is hired by this
company the effect is that all en-
ployes are pensioned or made bene-
fciaries of the superannuated fund
after twenty years service, or when

SON COMES UNEXPECTEDLY
TO FUNERAL OF FATHER

Hudson, Wis, Feb. 1S.-At the fu-
neral of Joseph K. Corthell a son by
a former marriage, Louis L. Corta ell
of Milwaukee, conductor, came here
and caused a great surprise, as no
one was aware of his existence, or of
his fathers former marriage. The
son read the account of his fathers
death and he compared the dates of
his enlistment with his fathers dis
charge papers from the army and
then discovered his relationship. His
father had not seen him since he was
2 years old.
Louis says he also has a sister now
married and living in New York. He
says he had heard that his father was
killed twelve years ago in railroad
accident and on that account had
kept the matter of his relationship a
secret from the members of his
family.

Milwaukee, Feb. 1S.-John < Wolf,
who may or may not be comptroller of
Milwaukee, was arrested early yester-
day morning after having taken pos
session of the new garbage plant on
Jones island. He had ordered every
body else out of the place. After wan

but kept under surveillance. He seized
an opportunity to slip away unob-

was at the garbage plant.
Just how he got there is a mystery
When first seen by the men in charge
he was thinly clad and demanded ad
mittance. He showed his star and
said he was an inspector come to looh
over the place. When he got inside
he ordered the men out and when they
refused to go he broke windows and
