CANAL TREATY MUST TAKE ss,

HOOD BILL.
Will FORCE AN EXTRA Stss@
MOST SERIOUS. FR'cTIoN IN ks
PUBLICAN RANKS FOR
YEARS.

Washington, Feb. 22.--The contet
In the senate has developed a mora
serious element Of friction In the pa
publican ranks than has been known
for years.
The question at issue is whether ths
majority party shall exercise the DOW.
er to legislate or that power shan
pass to combinations OF minoritIes
without party responsibility.
The Republican senate caucus On
Tuesday decided that the Panama
canal treaty should be the order Of
business before the senate until II IA
ratified. The caucus in effect die
placed the statehood bill with the
canal treaty. At that time Senator
Morgan was the only known flibus
terer against the treaty. But Mr. Mo-.
gan's opposition has become
Only an incident
in the contest as II has developed IN
the last two days. Mr.. Quay is nov
the leader of the filibusters against
the treaty. He led in the fltbustering
Thursday and again yesterday. His
purpose is declared TO he that the
treaty shall take second place to the
statehood bill. He insists that tha
statehood bill is of first importance
and that the canal treaty shall not b.
ratified until there is an agreement for
a vote on statehood
The majority of the republicans are
determined to follow the caucus agree
ment and continue the executive seS
sions until the treaty is ratified or the
end of the session is reached.
Quay's friends say that he was
tricked into agreeing to go into eI.
ecutive session. and that he is ready
to allow appropriation bills TO be
passed, but not the treaty. They
therefore claim that the
Responsibility for Failure
of appropriation bills, If the deadlock
continues. will rest on the opponents
of statehood and the managers OF the
treaty who insist on continuing The
executive session begun Thursday
morning. This is where Mr.. Quay has
been catgeneraled. He consented to
the executive session to take up the
treaty, and the executive session still
continues with Tscesses from day q
day. The issue Is regarded as ven
grave one.
1t is whether Mr.. Quay is mora
powerful than the Republican party
He has formed a new alliance, regard
less of party lines, and he is using thai
alliance to dictate to congress. HI
threatens to make necessary an extr'
session unless his minority Of Demo
Gratis AID Republicans is allowed Z
dictate.
The senate spent the entire day Z
executive session considering the Pan
anna canal treaty, and at 5:25 p. N
took a recess until to-day.

substance of which is a statement that
District Judge Harrison has ordered
ex-Mayor Ames to be taken back at
any cost, and a strong request that
Doane have Ames ready to deliver
March s., the date OF the requisition.
If he is alive.
II is understood that the bondsmen
of Mayor Ames on TIE old indictments
have joined Issue with the state TO get
the accused back. A peculiar feature
of the case has been the anxiety on
somebody's part to have the public UNI
derstand that Dr. Ames has been hid
ing in New Hampshire and that his
discovery at Hancock was made since
the new indictments Sheriff Doane
has since theflrst week in January had
Ames under surveillance and kept the
Minneapolis authorities posted, but he
received no order for his detention
until Feb. Is. II is believed here that
the bondsmen of the ex-mayor have in
stigated all the proceedings.

RESERVOIRS GIVE WAY.
Torrent Tears Through Streets Of
Connecticut Town.

Derby Conn, Feb. 24.-The break
ing of three reservoirs in the town of
Shelton early yesterday caused dam
age estimated at between SIS, 900 and
$4,000 and there were several mar
row escapes from death. There are
three reservoirs in the town situated
on hill in the western part of town.
In some unknown manner hole was
broken in the largest reservoir. The
rush of water sooon increased the hole
to immense proportions and the water
flowed down to the reservoirs below
These were unable to withstand the
pressure and their walls gave way,
giving the water a free path to the
town. The torrent tore a great gully
no feet long and thirty feet wide
through Howe avenue. Logs, trees
and huge cakes of ice were carried
along and crashed into several build
ings. Street railroad tracks and tele-
phone and telegraph piles were torn
up and strewn about in confusion.
