metallism had been described as taking

plan of the war minister Is to take d.
vision and call it an army corps. With
restrained indignation he asserted that the
volunteer force Is dwindling away because
Of the lack OF sympathetic treatment from
the war office.

because the house was with him as in

subdued key and maintained 1t throughout.
With long fingers stretched on the edge of
the brass-bound chest, which does service
chiefly as reading desk, he stood little
from the table. and. with a mass Of facts
and figures, defended the war office and
the creation of the 9Th Army Corps. A
tinge of regret was shown when he spoke
Of the criticisms that the corps had not
yet their full compliments of men. But
the numbers of men were increasing. We
must remember, he insisted, that the
scheme has only been in existence for TWEEN
ty-one months, and during that time there
has been an unparalleled strain on the war
office.
Unconscious OF what effect the statement
might have he remarked that Lord Grenfell
would take command Of one army corps
on April 1. There was a tempest of laugh

January.
The French Government has inyesti.

tweer 500 and 600 islanders perished
during the storm. After the wind had
subsided and the waters had receded
bodies of drowned natives were found
tied to trees about the place.
Hikuera, n of the islands visited
by the deluge, was the least able to
Withstand Its force, as its highest place
is twelve feet above the sea. The resi-
dents focked to the heights and sought
safety by binding themselves to the
rocks and trees. There they remained
for the three or four days of the storm.
The islands of Hao, Makokau and
Hikuera are virtually washed away. az

level and are destitute Of vegetation.

Many of the natives were swept into

sorts. Upon some unfortunate ones CO.
coanut trees fell, manning or killing
them outright, or holding them beneath

MURDERER OF BURDicK.

Charles s. Parke, His Partner, Names
Pennsll as the Assassin.
Buffalo, N. Y.-For the first time
since the beginning Of the Burdick In
quest a witness has named a person
whom he believes to be the murderer
Of the envelope manufacturer. Charles
s.. Parke, for almost twenty years the
business partner or close friend Of
Mr.. Burdick, swore on the stand that
he was satisfied as to who the criminal
was.
"Well who was it," asked the Dis
trict Attorney.
"Arthur Pencil, in person or by
hired assassin" said Parke.
Mr.. Coatsworth pursued a line Of
questioning to get at the basis for
Parke's opinion. The witness, who
seemed morally certain in his sus-
picion, could give as his only reason
the fact that he considered Pencils
motive to be the strongest.
Parke's announcement came quietly,
in the natural course of the proceed
ings, and toward the close of the ses-
sion.
Mr.. Pencil was the man spoken of
as the correspondent in the Burdick
divorce proceedings. Two weeks after
the murder of Mr.. Burdick and auto
mobile in which MI. Pencil and his
wife were riding plunged into a stone
quarry. Mr.. Pencil was instantly
killed, and his wife survived the acct
dent only a few hours and without re-
gaining consciousness.

New Challenger For the Americas Cup
Sale in the Water.
Glasgow.-Sir Thomas Lipton's sloop
Shamrock Ill, challenger for the
Americas Cup, was launched under
the most successful conditions. Lady
Shaftesbury, wife Of the Commodore
of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, chris
tened the yacht in the presence of a
number of distinguished guests. Sham
rocks and hopefulness were much in
evidence. Sir Thomas Upton divided
1000 punches of the former in honor
of st. Patrick and the new boat and
voiced the general sentiment of hope
fulness by saying:
with just a little slice of luck the
battered old mug will find a resting
place ON this side Of the water"
Shamrock III. differs greatly from
the other two boats sent to America
for the cup. The fin on the new boat
is very short and is just twenty feet
long. Her draught is nineteen feet and
the fin is almost level along the bottom.
The lead in the hull is drawn down
well to the fin, suggesting the deep
body typical of the British cutter,
rather than the extreme fat-loored
type, adapted from the American cen
tre-board yachts and used in all the
recent ~challengers. American wheel
steering for the first time replaces the
British tiller, and the lesson learned
with Shamrock II. through her pound
ing in head seas has led to a longer aud

CANAL TREATY RATIFIED
The Final Vote in the Senate Stands
70 to 5.
LONG SPEECHES BY SENATORS

A Dem ocratIc Amendment Rejected by .
Party vote-Terms OF the Agreement
Under Which tie Panama Canal VIII
BE Built Treaty Adopted without
Amendments-To Pay $4,000. 600.
Washington, D. C.-Without dotting
an 81" or crossing a St" ever without
changing a punctuation mark, the Sem
ate voted to ratify the treaty with
Colombia for the construction of an
Isthmian canal. The vote for ratifica-
ton was seventy-three in the afirma.
tive to five in the negative.
The Senate was in executive session
when the result was announced, SO
that only the Senators themselves and
a few confidential employees were pres
ent. All the Senators announced them
selves as gratiied to have the long
struggle terminated, but none of them
manifested his appreciation by cheers
OF handclapping.
The day was given up almost entirely
to general debate on the treaty, and in
addition to the set speeches made I'M
der the general agreement by Senators
Morgan and Cullom, there were many
short addresses and a rather long
speech by Senator Daniel of Virginia.
The only party vote Of the day was
taken on the substitute for Article w,
which was agreed upon by the Demo-
cratic caucus and had reference to the
acquisition of territory in Central
and South America by the United
States. There were several speeches
on this amendment, but it was voted
down by an almost two-thirds major
ity, the ballot footing up fifty-one yeas
to twenty-seven nays.
The United States agrees to pay
$4,000, 900 to the Panama Canal Com
pany and $10,OO0,0OO to the Colombian
Government for the purchase and con-
troll of the canal rights. The canal
will be forty-six miles long. From
twelve to thirteen miles on the Allan
tic side and five to six miles on the
Pacific side are completed. The inter-
vening higher lands are materially cut.
This constitutes two-fifths of the entire
work
