On Tuesday evening last quite a flow of water was encountered in the bottom of the main shaft, which has now reached a depth of 565 feet, and it was coming in quite fast at the time of our visit. It is thought by the miners there that il will not amount to much. and that it is only a seam, and that i; will soon draw off like the water that was first encountered at a depth of 450 feet. As Foreman Hen derson was not at the mine when the water came in it has not been meas ured, consequently it can not be tOlC just at present how extensive the flow may be. The ground has been getting softer all the week. and ore in place is looked for at any time.

popular greed and impatience to see results will operate to control the Senate, but the chances are that 1t will bring to the minds of enough of the members of that body sense of danger to our institutions to impel them to stand as a barrier against passion and precipitation.
 There are those in the Senate who see in the basis of people to cry vote on a ques- tion about which 1t is impossible that they should be properly informed an extremely bad state of public conscience, if permitted to con- trol the public servants
 Assured that the people are ili-informed on the subject, many Senators will undertake to advise them fully Conservative Senators will be prepared to debate the question whether President Roosevelts methods were proper. The constitutional lawyers of the Senate will find the greatest abundance of inspiration for argument. Senators who have no sort of re- spect for Roosevelt as a citizen undeserving of the high place he holds will discuss the plain question whether he has violated the law.
 There will be defenders of the administration in plenty. no doubt. There will be those who will yield to the incontinent and uncouscion- to do great deal of Justification talk who would really like to vote against the admin istration There will be something doing among the patrona ge- tied coterie and it is most stckening that these will share the plaudits of the fool multitude" when com merciaiism shall carry the day as now ap- pears eventually it will

DEBATE WILL BE LONG.
NO HURRY TO RATIFY THE
 CANAL TREATY.
Many of the Senators Think the Peo- pie are Ignorant and Will Att tempt to Inform Them on
 the Subject.

 Washington, Dec. 26.
 Some persons are unduIy agitated over the question of the Hay-Varilla canal treaty. They are all excited over the affair. as though Sena- tors had hurried home to see their constituents just to hasten back here and vote for the treaty on Jan. 4 at the tap of the bell
 A calm and dispassionate view of the qucs- tion and all it's environment will presen, a different aspect. As it in reality is, not to dwell too long upon the olden habit of de- liberation which possesses the Senate Of tn United States. it is pre-eminently improbable Chat there will be an early action on the treaty It is moro than likely that vote VIII not be had the treaty, which must precede commencement on the canal enterprise, before near the close of the session. along about next ,Sune if even then. The whole canal ques- ton may be up in the air when the two .na- tionsl party conventions meet
 Harking back to the consideration of the whole isyhmian canal agitation, before the Spooner compromise was ladopted,, it will be recalled that it took many months to get to Q vote. Granted that there is an unmstak- able national sentiment for canal somewhere, admitting in full that there is eager readi- ness of the people generally to accept and adopt the Panama proposition with all its deformities the canal question will have to wait as other absorbing and exciting ques- tions have had to wait. upon the good pleas ure of the Senators. Be 1t remembered also that venerable gentlemen of the Senate are fin no humor to be driven by the executive power. There arc some of them who cannot be bought with patronage, nor mesmerized with White House entertainment. There will be a long. long debate on the canal question as certain the Senate meets. Nothing short of revolution in the forty-tive States of the American United States will stop it. Senator Morgan will have something to say as to the most recent aspects of the case; and there are others
 The issue will first be joined on the Morgan s, vafl he xFoNa Izs1 hfrb AbA nomination of William l. Buchanan as minis ter to Panama confirmed Buchanan has gone to Panama. but however warmly he may be taken to the bosom of the ''ditch-delivered republic he can accept its blandishments only as might any other visiting citizen from our shores.
 The canal topic promises to engross Congress above the tariff. the trusts and the finance questions It will command attention because it is now. and will be until settled, the fore most subject of national attention. The very fact that the people of the country generally are thus interested will tend to prolong the consideration of the question There will be many conflicting views to future proce- dure. It is true it remains to be seen how far

the mutable. unstable society of this period Is it to be wondered at that we Mobilians are proud of our historic town and its social life when we can boast of a social organization older than the entire local history of many of the mushroom cities that have out grown us.

 Rome, Dec. 26.-Former Premier Zanar- deln died tonight at Maderno.
 Giuseppe Zanardelli, who had previous ly served one term as president of the Chamber of Deputies, was reelected to the Chamber in May, 1895, and December 14 1897, was appointed Minister of Jus- tice. In February, 1901, Signor Zanar- delli was appointed president of the Coun- cil of Ministers and in April, 19O3, he be- came so seriously i'll that he tainted as he was leaving the Quirinal, after the week. ly consultation of the premier with the King. He was taken to his home and the doctors said there was nothing alarm ing in his condition.
 Senor Zanardelli announced the resig- nation of the cabinet in the Chamber De- cember 13, 1903, and was asked. to form the new cabinet: but being unable to get strengthening material from the other parties, 1t was decided that the cabinet should remain as formerly constituted, with the exception of the Minister of the Interior. Signor Giolitti, and the min- istry of marine, who retired. The Cham Der January 26 passed a vote of confi- dence in the reconstructed Zanardelli ministry.
 Early in August last Signor Zanardelli became so i'll that his physicians recom- mended complete rest and October the resignation wit4 his whole cabinet owing to i'll heath, the step being in no way connected with the political situation, though attempts were made to connect the resignation of the cabinet with the postponement of the Czar's visit to Rome.
 King Victor Emanuel visited Signor Zanardeln October 2S. going on foot from the Quirinal to the former premier's resi- dence. Signor ZanArdelli, on the occasion of that visit which lasted an hour and a half. suggested that Signor Gioletti, former Minister. of the Interior, who fla vored Zanardclli's policy be made hia successor. and later the King charged Gioletti to form a new cabinet, which he eventually did, the new ministry assum- ing office November B.
 A dispatch from Rome Christmas night announced that the condition of Signor Zanardelli was extremely grave. His doc tors made public the fact of the exist ence of tumor in the patients stomach. and added that they had given up all hope of SiRnor Zanardelli's recovery The news caused a deep impression in Rome
 The deceased statesman was 77 years of age.
