ton on the Measure Unlikely.
Washington, Feb. 4.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
agreed to report favorably the treaty
with Colombia for building an 18TH
milan canal.
The agreement to report the treaty
was reached after three or four sit
tings devoted in the main to hearing
Senator Morgan's objections to the
document in it's present shape. He
had not concluded when the vote to
report was taken, but he announced
that he would be willing to transfer
the discussion to the floor of the SEN
ate. This was in accordance with a
suggestion made by Senator Cullom-
chairman of the committee, who told
the dissenting senator that he had sat-
isfied himself that the committee was
prepared to report the treaty to the
senate without amendment and that
owing to the pressure of other bust
ness the members were anxious that
the committees discussion of the sub
ject should come to an end. A vote
upon the resolution to report was then
taken and was carried by large ma
jority. Only two senators, Morgan
and Bacon, voted against it. Senator
Bacon announced that his opposition
was to the time of reporting and not to
the treaty itself.
The committee will recommend the
ratification of the treaty without
amendment. Senator Cullom says he
has formed no plans for calling it up
in the senate. The general opinion of,
members of the committee is that
Senator Morgan will continue his OPP
position on the floor of the senate and
that several long sessions will be nee
eSsarY to secure q vote.

Appointee's Connection With the
fractional Fight in Delaware the Rea-
son for the Adverse Action.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The senate
committee on judiciary has agreed to
recommend that the nomination Of
William Byrne for United States dis
trict attorney of Delaware be rejected.
This action was taken after quite an
extended discussion. The ground for
the action of the committee was the
connection of Byrne with Delaware
politics. 1t was agreed to delay the re-
port in order to give the president an
opportunity to withdraw the nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Byrne belongs to the Addicks
faction in Delaware. He was formerly
district attorney but resigned to run
for congress on the Union or Addicks
ticket. He was defeated and reap
pointed to his former position.

ALL FACTORIES TO CLOSE.

Sensational Move by American Win-
 dow Glnss Company.
 PETERSBURG, March Lone of the most sensational moves made by the American Window Glass company was inaugurated when the executive committee of the corporation issued a formal notice to it's workmen that after lapse of seven days and on March IA all of the factories of the American Window Glass company will close for the season, irrespective of what other companies will do.
 The moment the factories are closed the company has arranged that large force of men will be put to work to equip them with the new glass blow ing machines. 1t is said that all of the factories of the company will be equipped with the new machines, which will do the work of the skilled labor by machinery and remove from the glass factory the highest priced skilled labor known in the country. It ton at a cost of less than one-third of the cost under the hand labor.
 President James A. Chambers of the American Window Glass company ill discussing the latest action of his cor poration said that the blowing ma chimes would be installed in all of the company's plants as rapidly as possi- ble. The shutdown, however, will be for considerable leng5p of time.
 The action of the American Window Glass company in closing it's factories and installing it's machines is said to be it's answer to the independents, who lave refused to come to any agree ment concerning uniform closing of plants this spring.

officers with them, and Captain Smith, with his lieutenant, spiked the still smoking starboard guns and left the vessel to its fate. Having lost 50 much of her weight by the abandonment of her crew and the destruction of arms, the ship soon floated and drifted down stream in the wake of the vessels which had retreated. Collision was avoided, and she passed on, her ma2a- zines exploding at 5:3O in the morning with detonaton heard for miles, much to the joy of the Confederates.
 The Mississippi lost sixty-four men killed and wounded in this encounter, very heavy casualty list for the halri- est naval battle and greater than that of all the other ships in the fleet that morning combined. She also did more execution than all the others, for while she lay aground her guns plowed the Confederate works on the hill. Her of ficers and men remained cool through. out the trying ordeal, never forgetting that they should fight the enemy's bat teries so long as their guns could bear upon them. Farragut had given his ship commanders instructions when setting out that morning to maintain an incessant fire while passing up past the fort not only for self defense in each case, but in order to worry and baffie the enemy for the benefit of the consorts following.
 The Mississippi really had the hard est end of the struggle to bear. By the time she reached the bend where all the vessels came to grief the smoke made 1t impossible for her pilots or her gunners to see beyond the ships rail. Moreover, the Confederate gunners had got the range upon the point where the Federals grounded Doubtless their range had already been fixed there as the one place where the ships would be most exposed to difficulty in making out the channel. Whatever the cause, their missiles found the target with deadly accuracy for night fighting.
 The ironclad Essex did not go far enough to come under fire of the shore guns, but lay back with some mortar boats. which kept up q fierce bom- bardment on the fort all the time the

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Fewer FeEoruary FafIures Than I'm 19O2-Iron and Steel Outlook.

Fewer FeEoruary Failures Than I'm
 1902-1rOn and Steel Outlook.
 NEW YORK, March T-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Failures were fewer in February and smaller in amount of defaulted habih- ties than in the corresponding month last year., ,O3o comparing with 1,1O4 and $1O,907, ,454 with $l1 ,302, ,029. But for a few large defaults in real estate and other similar lines the exhibit was strikingly satisfactory, and in manu- featuring lines the decrease in Habili- ties was over million dollars, or more than 20 per cent.
 7 Further improvement in the move ment of freight and fuel makes the general situation more favorable, al- though shippers are still constantly complaining and pig iron furnaces are not able to run steadily. Numerous labor struggles also interrupt manufac- turing, yet mills and shops are produc- ing freely, as a rule. Jobbers and wholesalers are busy, while spring re- tail trade has opened very well in many lines, notably wearing apparel Per mits for building operations show large gains over last years figures, giving additional strength to lumber and oth- CT materials.
 Conditions in the iron and steel in- dustry need no other elucidation than the plans announced by the United States Steel corporation. Preparations to expend $36,0OO,0OO in increasing the facilities of plants under the control of this company suggest that prospects are bright for enlarged business, and the countrys previous records of pro- duction will be far surpassed.

Fe ships were disputing the passage. Ear ragut's total loss was 113 at Port Hud- son, nearly as many as the whole fleet sustained when he passed Fort Jack son and Fort Philip at the mouth of the Mississippi during the famous at tack on New Orleans in 1862. His flagship, the Hartford, lost two killed and six wounded, the Richmond three killed and twelve wounded and the Monongahela six killed and twenty wounded The Mississippi, following the others and last in the order named, lost twenty five killed and thirty-ntne wounded, the result to each vessel showing that the Confederate aim grew more deadly as the fight pro gressed.
 Farragut steamed on up the Missis- sippi with the Hartford and Albatross and blockaded Red river. This being the object Of his wild dash past Port Hudson. the enterprise was a success in spite of the disaster to the other ships. Banks was some time in doubt as to the fate of Farragut, but as soon as he learned his whereabouts and condition the army was withdrawn from Port Hudson to Baton Rouge to await more favorable time for at SAcking the batteries. The most that Banks accomplished in support of Far ragut at this time was to engage the Confederate skirmishers outside of their works. Even this may have sim ply aroused the Confederates and made them more alert for the feet.

The Action of La soufraere.

KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, March z,
 Ernest Howe of the United States geological survey, after a personal in- spection of La soufriere, gives this de- scription of the slight eruptions now frequently occurring: Without warning big puffs of steam rise constantly, and countless rockets of black mud and stones are shot up from the crater and spread outward. Then the mud and stones fall back into the lake with a loud roar. Other clouds of steam charged with dust rise and drift over the country. Another interesting fea- ture of the region is the deposit of ashes. The Wallibou river is still hot enough to cause the water in the stream to evaporate in huge columns laden with dust.

Not Tie Up the System.
 ST. LOUIS, March 7.-The general officers of the brotherhoods of firemen and trainmen and committees here in relation to the impending strike situa-. tion of the Wabash have issued a state ment addressed to their members on the Wabash railroad giving resume of the situation and advising them to continue loyal to the railroad company and to their respective organizations and to pay no attention to the state ments or threats of any person nor to any rumors that mey be put in circula- ton.
 An all day conference was held by Grand Masters Hannahan and Morris sey of the brotherhoods of firemen and trainmen with their attorneys. This answer, with atiidavits, will be filed in court Monday.
 John H. Murphy, chief counsel of the Brotherhood-of Locomotive Bremen, who reached here from Denver, joined the conference.
 There were no developments at Wa bash headquarters. President Ramsey says that the service throughout the system was proceeding without any, thing unusual to interrupt it. He re viewed his action of last Monday when the injunction was served to prevent a strike, going into the details, which have not before been made public.
 Regarding the probabilities of strike President Ramsey said:
 Tn case the injunction shall be dis solved I think strike is quite likely. In case of the dissolution 1t probably will be ordered at once by the leaders. The Wabash employees. will not go out until ordered to do so.
 "A strike may inconvenience the Wa bash for some time, but it will not tie up the system to any serious extent unless boycott should be ordered at the different terminals and adjacent points,"
