Who Reject 1t

Altoona, Pa, March 1s.--Yesterday
afternoon the coal operators submit
ted their ultimatum TO the miners. It
was briefly an offer Of an increase Of
12M per cent for pick mining an in
crease of IA per cent. for machine min
ing, and a nine-hour day at $2.7O per
day for drivers, other mine laborers
to receive a proportionate increase.
The miners Immediately went into

and promptly rejected II. being in ses-
sion only a few minutes In refusing
a nine-hour day on a basis Of S2.7O a
day and insisting upon an eight-hour
day on a basis of $2.56 day on a
tonnage of 2S,O00,OOO tons annually
the miners voted to relinquish s1,100,
600 in wages annually TO enforce an
eight-hour day. The joint scale com
mittee met again at 8 o'clock last
evening. and after being IN session
for over two hours adjourned without
reaching an agreement.
The committee met again this morn

ON CANAL TREATY
Votes to Ratify That With
Columbia By An Over
whelming Majority
ALL THE AMENDMENTS DEFEATED

Washington, March is. - Without
dotting an 'i' or crossing a "t." even
without changing a single punctuation
mark, the senate yesterday voted to
ratify the treaty with the Republic
Of Columbia for the construction OF an
isthmian canal. The vote for ratifca-
ton was 73 in the affirmative to ) in
the negative. The senate was in ex-
ecutive session when the result yas
announced. so that only the senators
themselves and a few confidential en-
ployes were present All the senators
announced themselves as gratihed to
have the long struggle terminated, but
none of them manifested their appre-
citation by cheers or handclapping. On
the contrary, all of them seemed more
concerned about getting away from
the chamber than about anything else.
so that by the time the senate could
adjourn, which it did almost imme-
diarely after the result was announced.
most of the senators had left their
seats and some of them had donned
their hats and overcoats.
The Cay was given up almost en-
tirely to general debate on the treaty,
and in addition to the set speeches
made under the general agreement by
Senators Morgan and Cullom, there
were many shert addresses and a rath-
er long speech by Senator Daniel, of
Virginia. The only party vote Of the
day was taken on the substitute for
article four which was agreed upon
by the Democratic caucus and bad
reference to the acquisition of terri
tory in Central and South America by
the United States. There we're a mum

but 1t was voted down by an almost
two-thirds majority. the ballot footing
up 81 ayes to p noes.
When the senator adjourned at
o'clock there was a general belief tina
the business Of the session might b.
: completed in time to permit final ad
> journment today. This conclusion in
volved quite o general understanding
that the Cuban reciprocity treat.
: could be much more spaedily disposel
! Of than has been considered possibl
heretofore. There were some senator
who expressed the opinion that NOR
than one days time would be foun
necessary for the presentation Of al
4 gumente for and against the agrel
/. ment. but a canvass OF the senate 500
/. developed the fact that only the. tw
I Louisiana senators desired to be hear
on tho treaty at length at this tim
9 and that they would not now say S
q much as they would have said If th
!. committee on foreign relations had nC
i ( agreed to recommend that the treat
A be submitted 10 eonferees for its a.
proyal. This submission will be
!. the shape OF a joint resolution at th
+ next regular session of congress, an
O as this can be discussed in open Sc
sion. all those who oppose the treat
consider that that time will be mol
opportune for argument than II
present, as they then will be able
appeal to the country at large as we
as to the senate.
q It is the general opinion that Il
treaty will be ratified by a safe m
jority.
