FBY rELgoRApH 70 THE Tribune. ]

New-Haven Conn, March 16.-The labor stu
alton on the New-York, New-Haven snd Hart
ford Railroad took an unexpected turn to-day.
when President John M. Hall Of the road sent
to the joint committee Of trainmen and con-
ductors communication offering. on behalf Of
the board Of directors OF the road, to meet the
joint committee. with a view to adjusting diff
culties, at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Presi-
dent Hall stated in his communication, which
was made public this evening by Grand Master

directors Of the company last Saturday in New
York voted to appoint special committee OF lis
members-President Hall. William D. Bishop,
Charles F. Choate and Vice-President Merrill

conductors.
This change Of attitude on the part or the
road was communicated to the joint grievance
committee in the midst OF the count Of the four
thousand votes the question OF striking polied
by the conductors, baggagemasters, hagmen and
brakemen. and on fhis account no announce
ment OF the result Of the poll was made to-
night. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that, inasmuch as
the company was willing to meet the joint COM
mttee and as there was now great nope lot
an amicable adjustment Of the difficult1es' the
result CT the vote would probably not be an

tions amount to nothing. In that case the re-
suit Of the poll might be used az last resort
providing it was in favor Of a strike, which ne
would not say was the case

rnittee will be reported to the board OF directors

Washington. March 16-It is expected this
evening that the Senate will conclude the ratih-
cation Of the Colombian and Cuban treaties and
adjourn Wednesday evening All the amend
ments to the Colombian treaty we're voted on
to-day and the final vote will come tomorrow
after two hours general debate After carefully
polling the Democratic forces. Senator German
satisfied himself that it would be impossible TO
secure party vote against the Panama Canal
treaty. and decided not to subject his leader
ship the hazard Of defeat ny attempting to
bind the party to a negative vote in the caucus
held this morning The caucus merely deter
mined unanimously to support the Bacon amend
ment. providing for extending the control OF
the United States over the leased zone OF land.
and a new amendment modifying the pledge OF
the United States not to acquire territory at the
expense Of Colombia or other South American
republics. Both OF these amendments were sup
ported by party vote
Republican diplomacy has succeeded In dis
sipating all opposition to the Cuban treaty It's
consideration will begin soon the Colom-
bian convention is disposed OF. and, far as
known only two Democratic Senator'S will speak
against it, and they will occupy only few
hours. If vote can be reached on Wednesday,
as is now expected, it will be followed by i'm
mediate adjournment.
II had been the intention Of Senators Teller
and Patterson and the two Senators from
Louisiana to debate the Cuban treaty at some
length, but in view OF the fact that II has been
SO amended as to bring the matter before both
houses of Congress next session these Senators
have decided to withhold their arguments until
that time when they hope to precipitate
general tariff debate. They believe that IN the
mean time the iowa idea and a general sentt-
uent in favor Of tariff revision will have gained
ground and that their arguments will mako

WIFE DISAPPEARED.
EIysian Man Genes to the City Look
ing for His HeIpmate,

from Mondays DAILY.
Henry Halthus, a section hand whose
home is at Elysian, came to the city
today noon on sad errand. He brought
his two little children to the city to look
for their mother, who left home week
ago today, without announcing her de-
parture before hand. The husband and
wife had quarrel, and some time dur
ing the night the wife left home and has
not been seen since, although Mr.. Halthus
has heard that she was in Mankato. A
relative Of his wife telephoned to Man
kato to ascertain whether she was here,
but told him that she had gone. To
make sure, he concluded to come to the
city in person.
Mr.. Halthus applied to the police for
assistance, but could get no trace of
the present whereabouts of his wife. He
lays the trouble that has occurred in his
family to his wife's relatives. He said
that if his wife wants to stay away she
can do so, but he wants to know what
has become of her.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Team, Frightened by Automobile, Has
Warm Time,

From Mondays Daily,
A team belonging to Mr.. Sorenson, a
Rapidan farmer, created some excite
ment on Front street at 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon by running away nearly the
full length of the street. Mr.. Soren-
son had just united his team on North
Front street, and was about to get into
the wagon, when an automobile came
along and frightened the horses. The
latter jumped forward and coursed up
the street as far as John Dougherty's
blacksmith shop, where they turned in.
The pole struck the door casing and was
broken, and the horses fell in heap in
the doorway.
The horses were somewhat cut and
scratched, but received no serious injury.
Fortunately the wagon did not collide
with any of the vehicles in the street in
its mad trip.
