Considering Canal Treaty in the Sen
ate Yesterday Afternoon.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon after
The Star report closed, Senator Morgan Of
fered In turn each of the amendments to the
Panama canal treaty Of which he had pre-
viously given notice. The first Of these, re-
curing the approval Of France pertained to
the first article and related only to the sale
of the Panama Railroad Company. This
was voted down by a large majority, but as
no roll was called the majority against 1t
was not recorded. His other amendments
to the article providing for the reversion Of
the railroad lands outside the zone to Co.
lombia and confirming Colombia's reserva-
ton of shares in the new Panama Canal
Company In accordance with the contract of
1890 met with a like fate.
There was only slight discussion of the
amendments. but Senator Morgan explained
most of them to some extent. At one time
the Senate presented somewhat vacant
appearance. which caused Mr.. Morgan to
make the point Of no quorum, with the re-
suit that a large number OF senators were
called into the chamber Sixty-nine answer
ed to their names and business proceeded.
3 The second roll call of the day was upon
an amendment by Senator Morgan provid-
ing for the acquisition of the canal zone in
perpetuity and not by lease to be renewed
after ninety-nine years as provided in the
treaty. 1t was voted down.
The Senate then took up Senator Bacon's
amendment for the absolute control by the
United States and Mr.. Bacon addressed the
Senate in support of 1t.
Mr.. Bacon was followed by other demo-
cratic senators. all favoring the Bacon
amendment. They were Messrs. Teller
Clay Mallory, Morgan. Blackburn and Car
mack. For the republicans Senators Platt
of Connecticut, Allison. Cullom, Spooner
and Lodge opposed the amendment.
The Bacon amendment. when put to a
vote. was lost, 40 to "a. strict party vote
Senator Teller thereupon offered an amend
ment retaining the language of article %
as 1t stands, except the words with the
consent OF Colombia" In the provision per-
hitting the Intervention of the United
States In case Colombia should prove un-
equal to the task of defending the canal.

Decadence of Ginsing Industry.

1.-THE ginsing industry was at one time one
of Importance in Wisconsin" said F. c.
Whiting of Milwaukee to a Star man at
the New Willard this morning. but 1t is
not so plentiful as 1t was before so many
white men and Indians realized the value
of the product and began TO dig 1t up and
dispose of 1t for shipment to the orient. The
industry In Wisconsin was started by two
men named Lybum and Winkley, who made
quite fortune out of It. The root, which
is so highly priced by the Chinese. sells for
IS cents pound after II is cured In dry
kiln of a special make. I used to make
money out of ginsng, but never engaged in
the industry on large scale, as Is done in
some parts of the country"

SPANISH WAR MATERIAL.
The United States Does Not Care tt
Ruv

The United States finally has decided that
It does not want to purchase the Spanish
artillery left in Porto Rico, the tender OF
which was made by the Spanish govern
ment, and Senior Ojeda here has been so
informed by the State Department. There
fore Spain is at liberty to sell these guns to
the highest bidder. which she proposes to
do at once. An army board reported that
about 500 600 was the value Of this material,
the guns in many cases being obsolete and
fit only for recasting.
A large quantity Of this war material is
in Cuba and the Spanish government also
sought to sell that to the United states, but
was Informed by the State Department that
It had no Jurisdiction over Cuba and that
Spain must deal directly with the govern
ment of that island.
