coNcEssIoNFoR MORGAN
Agreement to Attach spooner Cana
Act to the Treaty.

ACT TO the treaty.
Washington, March "a Senate,
Morgan yesterday secured the first ma
teriai concession that has been made
TO him by the senate in connection
WIN WIN the Panama canal treatv.,wdtb
hieAht to attach the Spooner canal act
bodily to the treaty. This change was
made in compliance with request pre-
sented by Senator Lodge during the
executive session Of the senate yester-
day, for the necessity of it had been
discussed by Senator Morgan and 9TH
er members of the senate committee.
Senator Daniels expressed the opin-
ion that as the preamble to the treaty
calls for the attachment of the copy
of the act, that the attachment was
necessary to preserve the terms of the
document Intact. Senator Morgan
contended that without this attach
ment the treaty was absolutely in
valid.
Senators Teller and Hoar took the
opposite view. urging that as the act
was in existence and of record in the
statutes of the United States the ply
steal annexation was of no consequence
whatever. Senator Lodge, however.
suggested that no injury could result
from the attachment of the act, and
unanimous consent was given to do
so. 1t was specifically stipulated, how
ever. that this concession did not
amount to an amendment of the treaty,
Senator Morgan consumed the entire
time of the remainder Of the closed
session discussing the canal question
from various points of view and go
Ing over much ground he had already
covered.

RUSSIAN DEAD
Lived to Age of IS and Left Property
Worth 100000 OOO

Moscow, March H. The richest man
in Russia, Nickolai TerestchenSo, has
just died In his Saith Year, leaving prop
erty valued at 100000, 000 much of it
in real estate in this city. For more
than fifty years he has been one of the
curiosities of Moscow. He slept only
four hours in the twenty -four, two
hours at night and two hours after
luncheon. AT 9 o'clock every morning
he had mass said in his room. Al 6
O'Clock he began work with his secre-
,taries eating nothing until noon, when
he took an egg or Il bowl OF soup. He
had only one solid meal a day, and that
WAS at 10 O'Clock at night. Though he
was charitable, his benevolence was eX-
tended in unusual ways-as, for in
stance, in establishing homes for one
legged and one-afnled men.
II is said he wanted to found an asy-
.lum for mothers in-law who were badly
treated by sons-in-law, but the police
refused to sanction the scheme. His
son, who inherited the vast fortune,
died at Monte Carlo of consumption the
day after his fathers death.

ECONOMIC DEBAucH.

Existing American Conditions.
London, March l2.-The Times says
that the mysteriously large reductions
of net deposits OF New York banks, eff
fected in the last quarter of 1902, have
usually been the result not of real
liquidation of excessive commitments
but of transfers of Indebtedness to IEu-
ropean capitalists who We're ready for 8,

three on four years the United States
has had more success than would have
been possible In the case of any Other
country. No country" says the Times
'.can show contempt for sound bust
ness rules win inlpunity, and the i'm
munity apparently enjoyed by the
United States for the disregard of the

youth, merely amounts to delay in the
day of reckoning for each occasion OF

The development of the American
trade in the British colonies is watched
with a jealous eye by many people In
this country. Complaints are raised
that the Americans have of late mo-
nopolized the markets of Malta for
flour and oil to the disadvantage OF
British trade. This result is attributed
to the direct steamship service inaug-
uratcd last year.
