NOT ONE ACCEPTED.


CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGED
States could go to the defense of the canal
without waiting for call from Colombia,
and they dwet on the wide scope of this
privilege, asserting that in il was found
all the guarantees of American protection
that could be reasonably demanded. They
asserted that there could be excuse for
going into the canal zone with American
troops except in case of emergency. and
as that opportunity is provided, they ar
gued that there was no call for modifica-
ton of the treaty, and especially in view or
the fact that any change In ii probably
would insure its rejection by the Colon
bian authorities.
During the discussion some of the Demo-
cratic senators called attention to the In
stability of many of the Central and South
account 1t would be necessary for the
United States to be constantly on the spot
with its means of protection. The Repub-
licans replied that all the people of all par
ties in the South and Central American
countries have such great respect for the
United States as TO insure the protection
of its property, whatever the party in
power.
The Bacon amendment, when put to a
vote, was lost-46 to PA strict party vote.
Senator Teller thereupon offered an amend
ment retaining the language of Article %
as it 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 I'M
equal to the task Of defending the canal.

Outstanding that the other Democratic eau
amendment, that Article 4, should

MUCH MONEY FOR SHIPS
EXPENDITURE OF S17s,1s4,2O5 PRO-
POSED BY BRITISH ADMIRALTY.
Seventy-One Vessels Now Under Con-
structfOn and Parliament Asked
TO Authorize Twenty-Five More.

LONDON. March 1s.-Admiralty secre-
tary Arnold-Foster introduced the navy
estimates for 1904 providing for an ex-
penditure of $179,1s4.205 i'm the House of
Commons to-day. In the course of an ex-
planatory statement the secretary remarked
that the estimates were unparalleled in
peace or war; and as a private citizen he
could not help regretting that the great
competition and rivalry in the matter Of
naval ornaments continued to make this
enormous unproductive expenditure neces-
sary. After mentioning the various in
creases already cabled the secretary said
the Admiralty proposed to complete this
year six new battleships. eleven armored
cruisers and one second-class cruiser, two
sloops Of war, four. torpedo boat destroyers,
eight torpedo boats and three submarine
boats. He also asked the House to sane
ton the commencement of three battle
ships of a very formidable type, four first
class and six third-class cruisers. four
very fast vessels and five torpedo boat de-
stroyers and ten submarine boats. The
increases in the gun power of the ships.
said the secretary, was steadily progress
ing. while Standardization was augmenting
the efficiency of all the work.
The secretary of the admiralty incidental
ly mentioned that twenty-one obsolete ves-
sells had been withdrawn during the year
1923, the largest number on record, and
said that on April l. 1908, there would be
under construction the enormous total OF
seventy-one ships, namely, eleven battle

THE "MAN-WOMAN" CASE.
1t IL demanded by the United States
Supreme Court for Trial.

WASHINGTON. March 16.-The Supreme
Court of the United States to-day quashed
the writ of habeas corpus granted by Judge
Jackson, of the Northern district of West
Virginia, in the case of Ellis Glenn, alias
trial. This is the ''man-woman" case which
has attracted considerable attention i'm
West Virginia. The woman for years mas
queraded as a man under the name of Ellis
Glenn. She was tried for forgery in Wood
county, West Virginia, at the May term
of court, 1901, and the jury disagreed. She
claimed at that time that she was the sis
ter of ELLIS Glenn" At the fall term of
court when she came up for re-triaI she
claimed that she was being twice placed in
jeopardy for the same offense and sued
out writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Jackson. The writ was granted, where
upon Hunter Moss, jr.. prosecuting attOr-
ney. appealed from Judge Jacksons de-
cision and the court to-day sustained the
appeal.
The Supreme Court advanced to the Oc-
tober terms the case of Isabella Gonzalez, a
Porto Rican woman who was detained by
the immigration authorities at New York
last August on the ground that she was
liable to become public charge. She at
tempted to sue out s. writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that she was not an alien,
but the writ was dismissed, and she now
appeals the case to the Supreme Court to
determine whether a native of Porto
Rico she can be held under the immigration
laws applicable to aliens.
writ of certorari was granted in the
case involving the right of the railway

ROSTER OF ALL COMBATANTs.
Names Of Omcers and Men I'm Both
Armies of Civil War to BE Compiled.

Names Of Omcers and Men I'm Both
Armies of Civil War to Be Compiled.
WASHINGTON. March 1s.-By direction
of Secretary Root the War Department to-
day embarked on the extensive work of
compiling and publishing a complete roster
of the officers and enlisted men of the
Union and Confederate armies. This is
the secretary's own project, and he sue
ceeded in impressing Congress with the
idea that it would be only just and fair to
the South to place on the official lists the
names of the Confederate soldiers, in or
der that their descendants may trace their
family histories with accuracy. The North,
through separate publications, has covered
pretty well this ground for it's own soldiers.
But the Southern records and archives,
never very complete, were sattered and de-
stroyed. owing to the outcome of the war.
and ii is known that many frauds are prac-
ticed on the benevolent, and many families
lack important links in their histories be-
cause of loss of these records Secretary
Root, in calling this matter to the atten-
ton of Congress, said that the department
was constantly in receipt of appeals from
state officials, historical societies and pa
triotic memorial associations for tran
scripts of the military records of state
troops, to answer which would cost more
than million dollars, so that the most eco
nomical way would be to publish a COM
plete roster.
The publication will be enormous in size,
including no less than thirty volumes as
large as the rebellion records. The North
ern names will be published with the
Southern, because it is desired to have all
these data in one compilation, instead OF
being scattered through various state
books. Moreover, it is felt to be a graceful
thing to bracket the names of the men
who wore the blue and the gray. In order
to carry out this purpose Secretary Root
to-day sent a letter to the Governors of all
States which furnished troops for the Con-
federate armies, asking their cooperation.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The First
National Bank of Florida at Jacksonville,
Fla, was closed to-day by direction of
the controller of the currency upon the
report of an examination made by National
Bank Examiner Charles A Hanna, which
showed the bank to be insolvent. National
Bank Examiner j. w. Norvell has been APP
pointed receiver. The failure of the bank,
it is said at the Treasury Department, was
due to losses which absorbed the entire cap
ital and surplus, leaving a deficiency in
assets which are OF a slow character and
of poor grade, consisting largely of phos-
plate and lumber mill machinery, insur-
ance policies, real estate. etc. The bank
has liabilities of $S75.1S2
The resources and liabilities of the bank,
as shown by the late report Of condition,
Feb. 16. 1903, were:-

MANILA, March 16.--General Allen. chief
of the Philippine constabulary, has written
to President Gomez. of the Nationalist
party, charging that the party is assisting
the ladrones in Rial and Bulacan prov
inces and requesting Gomez to produce the
records of the organization and explain the
collection and use OF the dues. Gomez re-
piled that the party was not guilty. He ad-
mitted that individual members assisted
the ladrones, but said the party expelled
them for so doing. General Allen placed
evidence in the hands of the prosecuting
attorney and IL Is expected the government
will prosecute a number of the National

Student riots and college vandalism are
comparatively new form of lawiessness
In this country. In some European coun-
tries. notably In Germany and Russia, they
have been known for long time and are
sometimes quito serious. They seem to be
partly due TO the aggregation in large
bodies of young men who proceed to cult
vate class rivalries and a false kind of
esprit de corps which finally many come
to think puts them above the law. As long
as college or university has only a few
scores of students there is little danger
but when they run into the hundreds or
thousands the lawless spirit inherent in
large numbers begins to develop. 1t is a
spirit that must be guarded against and re-
pressed.

THE IMAGINARY JACK.


Help Her Divorce Along.
Chicago Tribune.
1t seems to be fad among those women
contemplating divorce or enduring any con-
siderable degree of marital infelicity to
keep diary in which they set down a
daily record of their own feelings, as well
as of the goings comings and doings of the
household masculine tyrant. Several of
these diaries recently have figured in d.
vorce proceedings, to the more or less de-
light of the audience, and would furnish
excellent stuff for a romance of real life or
a problem play. None OF them however.
has equaled that kept by Mrs. Arthur ].
Vaughan. who has just been freed from the
marital yoke.
Mrs. Vaughan. according to her diary,
is club woman and a literary light She
must have been reading Barries latest
story, 1.-THE Little White Bird" and have
been struck with the ole bachelor at the
club who invented a child and invested 1t
with SO much reality as to deceive pair
who had a real child in whom he was in
terested. In Mrs; Vaughan's diary there
are frequent references to Jack" for
whom she is longing, and with whom she
has had many pleasant lunches and meet
ings. When taxed in court with these ref
Jack was a creation of her Imagination
She invented Jack for a purpose. When
Mr.. Vaughan was too unreasonable she
could look out of the window and see the
imaginary Jack passing and wave a
greeting to him. When she was lows like
Mrs. Gummidge, she could indite loving
epistles to Jack" introduce him into her
diary most tenderly and in sharp contrast
with the real person, who was called
brute" empty head" hog" and other
such endearing epithets. When the real
person was more than usually jealous and
cross she would write epistles to Jack"
stating how much she enjoyed that lunch
with him or that tete-a-tete at the dance
and then leave the epistles where the real
person would see them. Mrs. Vaughan
upon the witness stand. explained to the
jury her modus operandi, as follows: Some
natures cannot be enticed into kindness to
others unless the demon of jealousy is
aroused in them. / conceived this plan to
bring back the love of my husband
wanted to arouse his jealousy. / wrote the
entries and left the diaries where he could

a beneficial effect.
Mrs. Vaughans plan was an ingenious
one. but il did not seem to have the effect
she imagined Ii would. 1t aroused the
jealousy of the real person. but il did not
bring back the love of the husband As
Mrs. Vaughan has won her suit and is now
Free perhaps she Is just as we'll contented.
In any event she has constructed an device
which may become popular i'm our best
divorce circles. The ina ginary Jack may
become all the rage and the leading card in
the suit.

Arguments will be heard to-day by Judge
Adams in the United States District Court,
at st. Louis. in the injunction suit to re-
strain the employees of the Wabash Rail-
road Company from going on a strike. The
question at issue is whether the restraining
order be dissolved or made permanent. The
injunction differed from any heretofore is
labor unions from ordering a strike. This
has been construed by some as prohibiting
the men themselves from striking and
therefore an invasion of personal rights.
This is an erroneous view. The order was
not directed against the employees as indi-
ferent unions to prevent them from order
ing the men out in a body. Every man
has a right to quit work whenever and for
whatever cause he pleases, but 1t may be
doubted IL the law will permit large num-
Der OF men to band together and strike un-
der the order of officers or leaders for the
avowed purpose OF Gripping railroads
business and forcing it to accept certain
terms. The law regards that sort of COM
bined action as conspiracy to injure anoth-
er's business. and will not permit il. If
Judge Adams refuses to dissolve the in
junction 1T will probably be on this ground
Labor leaders in St. Louis are reported as
saying that IF the injunction is not dis
solved their power is gone" Their power
to do what? II they are frank they must
admit that they mean their power by COM
bined action to cripple injure the bust
to certain demands by a species of coer-
cion which not only is not founded in per-
sonal rights but is destructive Of them.
