There has seldom been a time when
there was manifest a more lively inter.
est in the United States navy than at
the present time. The appropriations
OF the recent Congress for the purpose
of increasing the efficiency of the navy
have been a source of qualification to
most citizens of the nation and the
navy Department is now using every
endeavor 10 secure the prompt ex-
pendlture o! the appropriation along
the lines for whlcn it was made. 1t
may not be generally known that this
country stands but third in the list
OF naval powers. Great Britain, which
heads the list, has 625 naval vessels
with an aggregate tonnage of I,7o7,874
France comes next with 453 vessels
and tonnage of So4,2S4 and the
United States third with 1853 vessels
and a tonnage of 578,745 Germany,
with 2a5 vessels has a tonnage of only
4Sa,428 and comes fifth on the list,
Russia exceeding her IN bo:h vessels
and tonnage. In this connection it is
interesting to note that at one OF the

time to time worked out under the
direction of the British Admiralty,

TREATY IS RATIFIED
The Vote In the Senate Stood
73 to 5.
NOT A SINGLE CHANGE INTRODUCED
Panama Pact ms Negotiated by See
retHry Hay and Charge d'Af-
fairies Hcrrnr Not Defeat
cd by Morgan.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.--Without
dotting an - or crossing a "t,' even
without changing n single punctuation
mark, the senate voted to ratify the
treaty with the republic of Colombia
for the construction of an isthmian ca
nal. The vote for ratification was 73 in
the Affirmative 10 in the negative.
The senate was in executive session
when the result was announced, so
that only the senators themselves and
few confidential employees were
present
All the senator's announced them
selves as gratiied to have the long
struggle terminated, but none Of them
manifested their appreciation by cheers
or han1clappng. On the contrary, all
of them seemed more concerned about
getting away from the chamber than
anything else, so that by the time the
senate could adjourn, which it did al
most Immediately after the result was
announced, most of the senator's had
left their seats and some of them had
donned their hats and overcoats.
The day was given up almost entirely
TO general debate on the treaty, and In
addition to the set speeches made un-
der the general agreement by Senators
Morgan and Cullom there were many
short addresses and rather long
speech by Senator Daniel of Virginia.
The only party vote OF the day was
taken on the substitute for article 4.
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 number of speeches on
this amendment. but il was voted down
by an almost two-thirds majority, the
ballot footing up 81 ayes to % nays.
When the senate adjourned at 7
O'clock, there was n general belief that
the business of the session might be
completed in time to permit final adj
journment today. Some, however,
placed the date twenty-four hours later.
The Panama canal treaty between
the United States and Colombia, which
was ratified yesterday, was signed at
Washington on Jan. 90, 1903. 1t was
negotiated by Secretary Hay on the
part of the United States and Thomas
Herrar, charge d'af'aires, on the part
of Colombia. who signed the document.

ton TO 7to resolutions The number
