HELD UP BY MORGAN.
Action on the Canal Treaty Delayed
by n Lone Senator,


WASHINGTON. Feb. PA determined
effort on the part Of Senator Cullom to OBJ
tain Senator Morgan's consent to fix time
for voting on the Panama canal treaty
was made while the Senate was in execu-
tive session to-day, and was met by just
as determined opposition on the part Of the
Alabama senator. In making the request
Senator Cullom said the country had been
trying for fifty years to get a canal across
the isthmus, and he appealed to Mr.. Nor
gan not to stand in the way of the con-
summation of this aspiration. He first
asked for vote tomorrow, then for a
vote on Monday, and, lastly a vote on
Tuesday, but each request was refused.
Il think, said Mr.. Cullom, 1.-The senator
is making mistake. The whole country
recognizes his great services of the past
twenty years in the interest of canal con-
Meeting the two oceans. Indeed, he may
be called the father of the isthmian canal,
but ii certainly would seem that by his
present opposition TO the Panama treaty
he is strangling his own offspring"
To this Senator Morgan replied with
spirit He said that his interest in the
canal was now as great as ever; 1t was,
indeed, so great that he felt he owed it to
himself and to the country to exert him.
self to the utmost to prevent the ratifica-
ton of treaty which he felt to be so full
of defects as the pending agreement. He
then complained of the refusal of the SEN
ate TO allow him to discuss the treaty in
open session. The country, he said, ought
to know just what it was going into, but it
could not know so long as the doors were
closed every time the treaty was men,
toned.
Most senators believe that the refusal to
fix a time for vote means that the treaty
cannot be ratified before the close of the
present session.

committee on resolutions, said to the MEM
pers that ne would oppose in open session
any Endorsement of the Presidents policy
In regard to the negro question. When
the resolutions were presented to the con-
vention no mention of Acknowledgement or
other Southern questions was made. Mem
bers of the committee denied that any such
resolutions had been contemplated. 1t was
said, however, by Mr.. Mitchell that the
question of Endorsement this point had
been proposed by a New York delegate,
and that 1t was voted down in the COM
mittee, after a warm discussion, in the
interest of harmony.

grabbed her. and wake me and ask me
what l meant by taking hold of her neck

Knapp did not show any feeling as he pro-
ceeded to tell of the complexion of each
victim her size. traits of habit, etc.
That part of Knapps confession relating
to the murder of his third wife, Hannah
Goddard Knapp, was almost completely
verified here tonight when Charles Mills
paugh, the rural mail carrier who drove
by Knapp as he was about to dump the
box containing the body in the Miami river,
called on Knapp at the jail. Mr.. Millspaugh
recalled the man perfectly and his identifi-
cation was absolute. He saw Knapp at the
sucker hole, where Knapp claims to have
thrown the body.
Fred Koerber, a grocer, visited Knapp
at the Jail tonight and proved conclusive
ly that he was not the man who assaulted
little Hattie and Stella Motzer here last
fall. Koerber sold this man the candy
to lure the children into an alley, and he

ure and 1t Goes to Mr.. Fowler.
WASHINGTON, Feb. H-Representative
Payne chairman of the House committee
on ways and means, to-day introduced the
Aldrich bill to permit the secretary of the
treasury to deposit government funds with
national banks. with municipal and other
bonds as security, but with some few
changes from the provisions of the measure
before the Senate. Mr.. Payne gave his bill
a new title styling it "a bill to raise rev.
enue from the deposit of public money,
for the safe keeping thereof and for other
purposes" Apparently one reason for the
change in title was to secure reference of
the measure to the ways and means COM
mittee The most important difference in
the bill from the measure reported in the
Senate committee is the provision relieving
depositaries of the necessity of keeping a
% per cent. reserve against government
deposits Another change provides that in
determining the value of taxable property
of a city street railway bonds shall not be
included.
The bill was referred first to the commit
tee on ways and means. Representative
Fowler, chairman of the House banking
and currency committee and the author
of a currency bill now pending In the
House. made the point with the speaker
that the bill properly should be referred to
the banking and currency committee. The
speaker heard both Mr.. Fowler and Mr.
Payne the latter contending that the bill
had been properly referred in the first in

teen. went to Indianapolis some time last
year and sought to enlist in the Marine
Corps He was followed by his father. who
warned the recruiting officer that the boy
was not of legal age. and requested that he
be refused. Later the lad applied again
and represented he was old enough. He
was accepted and sent to the Marine Corps
here in Washington. Early this year the
boy took sick and left the corps without
permission, returning to his home. Since
then his parents have tried to have the
charge of desertion removed. Mr.. Lingen-
felter's father and two brothers died in
the army after honorable service, and he
is naturally anxious that his son have an
honorable discharge. General Haywood in

Return of the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-President
Roosevelt and his party arrived here in their
special train from New York over the
Pennsylvania Railroad at 7:20 o'clock this
morning. The trip was without incident
worthy of note. The President alighted from
his car as soon as the train had pulled
into the station, and after shaking hands
with the engineer and fireman Of the To-
connective entered his carriage, which was
in waiting. Accompanied by Captain
Cowles, he was driven directly TO the
White House. He expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the meeting in Car
negie Hall last night, referring to ii as a
great and inspiring assemblage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-To-day's Cab
met meeting was comparatively brief last
ing only about an hour. The discussion
revolved principally about pending legisla-
ton in Congress. Little hope is felt among
members of the Cabinet that the Cuban
reciprocity and Panama canal treaties will
be ratified by the Senate at the present SEES
sion, and each days delay in acting upon
them is increasing the probability of an
extra session of the Senate. The President
has reiterated his determination to call a
special session of the Senate in the event
of the failure of one or both of the treaties.
So far as can be ascertained the President
has not determined upon any date for the
opening of the session, If one should be
called, but IL is regarded likely that il
will be practically right after the close OF
the present session.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Venezuelan
authorities at Puerto Cabello, says the Car
acas correspondent of the Herald, after Sc
curing the warship Restaurador, which had
been seized by the blockading powers, have
made an official report regarding the trans
fer and the condition of the vessel. This re-
port reads, in part: The Germans, before
delivering the Restaurador, had sacked her
in a ruinous manner. They carried off sill
verware, covers, curtains, electric-light
globes kitchen utensils and even copper
clasps from the ships sides. The machin-
cry was purposely left out of order. 1t was
necessary to employ mechanical engineers
for twenty-four hours in order TO place the
Restaurador into a condition fit to go to
sea. The pillagel of the ship was scandal

German officers declare that the charge
of the Venezuelan authorities is false, and

contrary, they said that Germany had spent

FRENCH PROTOCOL SIGNED
AGREEMENT FOR SETTLEMENT OF
CLAIMS AGAINST VENEZUELA.
Wording of the Document the Same
as the United States PROTOCOL
Charge Against Germans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm Jesserand,
the French ambassador and Herbert w.
Bowen, the Venezuelan plenipotentiary,
signed protocol this afternoon for the
settlement of the French claims against
Venezuela by a joint commission to meet
at Caracas and for the reference to The
Hague tribunal Of the contention of the
allied powers for preferential treatment in
the satisfaction of their demands. The
French protocol, which is the sixth conven-
ton Mr.. Bowen has signed, is identical,
save as to parties, with that of the United
States recently signed by Secretary Hay
and Mr. Bowen.
For several days ii had been feared that
President Castro's suggestions regarding
a separate mode of settlement for the
French, Belgian and Spanish claims might
result in complications in Washington
which would delay the signing of the
French convention. Had the French gov
eminent insisted on more advantageous
terms than those provided for in the United
States protocol it would have been difficult
for Venezuela to refuse them. Jesserand
however, approaching the situation, urged
his government to content itself with
protocol framed along the exact line of that
accepted by the United States, and his sug-
gestions We're approved.
