COMMERCIAL TREATY
WITH CHINA RATIFIED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The Senate in
executive session to-day ratified the treaty
for the extension OF the commercial rela-
tons between the United States and
China and then removed the injunction of
secrecy. No opposition was manifested by
any senator TO the treaty, though Mr.. Nell
son made a long speech in which he criti-
cised the convention as making insufficient
provision for the trade of the United States.
He said il indicated that the hand of Russia
had been shown against this country, MAX
ing il impossible for the United States to
receive the concessions needed in the way
of open ports. He said that the ports OF
Mukden and Antung. which are opened
under the treaty provisions are in fact in
land ports. accessible only TO vessels of light
draft. He blamed Russia for this condition
OF affairs and warned the Senate that we
may yet have trouble with that country
over the Manchurian question. which. he
said. had been responsible for the inability
of the United States plenipotentiaries 10 OBJ
tain the opening Of other important ports
under more favorable conditions. The atti-
tude taken by Mr.. Nelson was upheld in
speeches by a number of other senators,
although Ii was argued at the same time
that this treaty is an entering wedge TO our
trade and that IL was the best China was
able TO do under Russian duress.

HOAR'S KIND OF Talk
PLEASES GENERAL REYES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Because OF the
determination of General Reyes to support
all the contentious in his brief that this or
hat phase of this governments isthmian
policy was against precedent. by historical
references as well as by high authorities
of international law. the preparation of the
paper is taking longer than was at first
expected. 1t was said to-day that it was
not at all certain when the note would be
ready for transmission to the State De-
partment. Indeed, General Reyes is not
in any haste to send 1t, for this may be
taken by the Colombians as the termination
Of their ENJOYS mission here and the coun-
try might seize on the opportunity to make
war, a contingency which General Reyes
has thus far used his utmost endeavor to
prevent. It Is stated that although General
Reyes has employed an American lawyer
to assist him In the preparation of the
paper, the real arguments advanced in it
and the reasoning will be largely that Of
the m minister himself.
No cablegrams reached the Colombian
legation over night. The legation officials
are not inclined to pass upon the right of
the Atlanta to make a reconnoiter on Co
lombian territory, but 1t is evident that in
their opinion such action was not strictly
in accordance with the best international
etiquette. Whether the incident will be cited
in General Reyes's note as another alleged
Infringement by the United States of CO.
lombia rights has not yet been decided.
Although General Reyes has Throughout
his stay here confined his diplomatic activi-
ties to diplomatic channels and has re-
peatedly declared that all his communica-
lions would go TO the State Department di-
rect, he Is blowing with keen interest the
canal debate in the Senate. 1t was stated
to-day that he had been profoundly i'm
pressed by the speech OF Senator Hoar.
Copies of the speech will be sent to Bogota
for publication.

PROTEST AGAINST
DISCHARGE
Filed Against Daniel L. Dresser
and c. E. Reiss by Boston Bank
and Trust Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Two protests were
filed to-day in the United States District
Court to the discharge in bankruptcy OF
Daniel Leroy Dresser and Charles Z. Reiss,
who formerly composed the firm Of Dresser
& Co.. in behalf of the First National Bank
Of Boston and the Cambridge Trust Com
pany, of Cambridge, Mass. The protests
charge that the bankrupts a few months
prior to their petition In bankruptcy had
issued on their behalf a statement of assets
and liabilities of N,222, 1853 each, and that,
relying on this statement. the First Ma
tional Bank of Boston purchased Two
drafts for 5000 each, payable May 20, and
accepted Dresser & Co. The Cambridge
Trust Company also bought a 5000 draft.
All three, It is claimed, were duly presented
for payment. refused and protested.
The protests also charge that the books
of Dresser e. Co. were so fixed as To con-
ceal its true financial condition, and that
many accounts the two members of the firm
knew TO be worthless were carried at full
value. With intent TO conceal the firms
true hnancial condition ii is said that a
certain Indebtedness of the firm TO Emma
b. Dresser of $l56. SO was not shown in the
financial statement given out.
The protests say that the books of the
firm purport to show that Dresser had
1874, 227 capital in the firm and Reiss 5000,
but that neither had q dollar of capital in
the business at that time. Reiss is charged
with deciding 10 his wife property i'm East
Orange within four months preceding the
filing of the petition in bankruptcy.

CASES OF ]. N. TYNER
AND HARRISON J, BARRETT
Arguments on Demurrers to In
dictments Begun in a Wash
ington Court.
REPLY OF GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. B.-Arguments on
the demurrers filed by counsel for the de-
PENDANTS to the indictments against them
in the cases OF the United States VS.. James
N. Tynar and Harrison ]. Barrett. were
begun before Judge Pritchard in riminai
Court, No. 1, to-day. Both Tyner and Bar
rett formerly were officials of the Postof-
fee Department. and were indicted for al
legged violations of law as a result OF the
recent investigation into postal affairs. Ar
guments for the accused were made by A.
s. Worthington and for the government by
Assistant United States District Attorney
Hugh 7. Taggart.
The objections to the indictments are
based principally on the ground that the
charges made against the defendants do
not involve the commission OF a crime. or
of criminal acts, but constitute a mere con-
clusion OF law. IL is insisted further that
Section 500 Of the Revised Statutes. upon
which, in part, the indictments are based.
relates to defraud the government, whereas
the defendants say no allegation is made
indicating how the government was to lose
a penny. This view OF the case was strong
ly pressed by Mr.. W~orthington. He argued
that the defendants are alleged to have con-
spired with other persons TO get money
out or certain other persons. bht that no
where is IT intimated that they were TO get
anything out of the government. There
could, he insisted. be no conviction under
the indictments of a charge of "defraud-
ing the United States.
In his reply Mr.. Taggart insisted that the
plan said to have been operated by Ty-
ner and Barrett was designed to defraud
the government in a very real sense. In
the first place the defendants, he said. were
government officers and the government
paid them for honest, faithful and compe-
tent service.
When they arranged not TO render such
service. but to operate their Offices in their
own interests. the government was defraud-
ed just that much. Mr.. Taggart commended
also that in alleging conspiracy IL was not
necessary TO describe the crime which the
conspiracy is designed TO carry out other
than in general terms, and he commended
that this requirement was fully met in
the Indictment to which objection Is made.
Arguments will be resumed tomorrow.

BOX MTE-L|KE AIRSHIP
TESTED At KITTY HAWK
Flew Three Miles Against Strong
Wind and Descended Grace
fully Where Willed.
GASOLINE MOTOR USED

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. ia successful
trial of a flying machine was made yes
terday near Kitty Hawk, N. c., by Wilbur
and Orville Wright. of Dayton. o. The
machine few for three miles In the face
of a wind blowing at the registered velocity
of twenty-one miles an hour, and then
gracefully descended to earth at the spot
selected by the man in the ~navigator's car
as a suitable landing place. The machine
has no balloon attachment, but gets It's
force from propellers worked by a small
engine.
Preparatory to it's fight the machine was
placed upon a platform near Kitty Hawk.
This platform was built on a high sand
hill, and when all was in readiness the
fastening to the machine was released and
ii started down an incline. The navigator,
Wilbur Wright, then started a small gaso-
line engine, which worked the propellers.
When the end Of the incline was reached
the machine gradually arose until it OBJ
tanned an altitude of sixty feet In the face
of the strong wind blowing it maintained
an even speed Of eight miles an hour.
The idea OF the box kite has been adhered
to in the basic formation of the flying ma
chine. A huge framework of light timbers
thirty-three feet wide, five feet deep and
five feet across the top forms the machine
proper. This Is covered with a tough but
light n In the center Is the naviga-
tors car, and suspended Just below the bot
tom plan is a small gasoline engine. which
furnishes the motive power for the pro-
polling and elevating wheels. There are
two >six-blade propellers, one arranged just
below the Frame, so as to exert an upward
force when in motion. and the other ex-
tends horizontally to the rear from the
center of the car, furnishing the forward
impetus. Protruding from the center Of the
car is a huge ~fan-shaped rudder of canvass.

Mr.. MORGAN STRIKES At
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Says He Has No Right to Wage
War Without the Consent
of Congress.
RESOLUTION IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Morgan
to-day introduced a resolution declaring
that the President has no right to wage
war against any foreign power without the
consent Of Congress, when such country
Is at peace will the United States; that the
provision of the canal treaty between the
United States and Panama, guaranteeing
the independence of the Republic Of Panama
Is In effect a declaration of war with Colom-
bia; that the Intervention of the United
States in preventing Colombia to suppress
the secession of Panama is contrary to the
law Of neutrality and the law of nations.
The important features of the resolution
are that neither the President nor the Sen
ate. as the treaty-making power of the
United States, has the lawful power to
wage or declare war against any foreign
power without the consent of Congress;
that a state Of war exists between Colom-
bia and an organization in the Colombian
Department of Panama that claims to have
accomplished the secession of Panama from
Colombia, and to have established it's indie
by some powerful nation she Is manifestly
able to maintain her present effort to re-
press the said secession. and the President
of the United States having entered into
treaty relations with persons who claim to
have seeded from Colombia, with a stipu-
lation which is, in effect, a declaration Of
war with Colombia and is not within the
limits of any power conferred on the Presi-
dent by act of Congress or the Constitu-
ton, or by the law of nations; that the

MR.. DANIEL DISCUSSES
THE PANAMA QUESTION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The relation
ship of the United States to tire new Re-
public of Panama continued to be the lead
ing theme in the Senate to-day, but the dis
cussion was confined to one senator, and
was not so exciting as yesterday. Mr..
Daniel, of Virginia, was the speaker, and
he advocated the acceptance of Mr.. Hoar's
resolution calling on the President for more
luton in Panama. He said that so far as
the available shows, the execu-
tive authorities of the United States had
knowledge of the revolution in advance of
the people of the isthmus, and he co~ntended
that the action of this country In preventing
the landing of troops in Panama
was without precedent.
Mr.. Fulton made a speech in support Of
the bill to give aid to the proposed Lewis
and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore, in
1905.
