SENATE VOTES DEC. Is
AGREEMENT REACHED REGARD.
4 ING CUBAN BILL.
crlticises Chief Executive for His
Course on the Canal ouestion-car.
mack Wants Senate to Investigate
Affairs Of Postoffice.

Washington. Nov. 24.-Panama and
Cuba engaged the attention OF the
senate to the exclusion of all other
questions Mr.. Hale moved to recon-
slider the vote by which the Newlands
joint resolution for the annexation of
Cuba was referred to committee,
snd several speeches were made on
the motion without disposing Of 1t.
Messrs. Hale, Lodge and Platt lConn.)
disavowed any desire on the part OF
the United States to acquire Cuba and
expressed regret that the resolution
had been introduced. Mr.. Newlands
defended the measure, as presenting a
natural solution of the problem of the
relationship between the two coun-
tries.
The Panama question came up in
connection with the announcement of
the senate committees, Mr. Morgan
Dem, Ala) being relieved of the
craftsmanship of the committee on in
teroceanic canals. Before the order
went into effect Mr.. Morgan took the
floor and his speech proved to be a
discussion of the entire canal question
with liberal criticisms of the president
for his course. He had not concluded
when the senate adjourned. Before
adjournment the senate agreed to vote
on the Cuban bill Dec. 16 next.
Mr.. Morgan said that Re had only
consented to the enactment of the
Spooner bill because of his confidence
in the good faith Of the president in
enforcing tie law and now that the
president had not seen fit to keep that
faith it remained to be seen whether
the senate would support him in that
position. The president he said, had
completed his campaign against the
Spooner act by having Mr.. Hay again
sign treaty with somebody from
Panama" who had no authority except
that conveyed in a cablegram from a
junta at Panama. He read the CO..
respondence bearing upon the revolu.
ton to show, as he said, that the pres
ident had krown of the uprising in the
isthmus before it began and had stood
ready with armed ships to protect
those engaged in it."
Mr.. Carmack (Tenn.) offered a res
olution authorizing the committee on
conduct of the executive department !
to investigate the postofiice depart
mcnt.
The house will meet tomorrow. Hav-
ing disposed of the Cuban bill it has
10 business before IL, and unless an
agreement is effected by which the
called session is to be brought to an
early close. an adjournment probably
will be taken until Friday. II is sug-
gested that 1t Is extremely doubtful II
there will be a quorum tomorrow. and
that II the point of no quorum should
be raised. il would be impossible to
act on concurrent resolution provid-
ing for an adjournment. even should
one be brought over from the senate
Some of the house leaders have es.
pressed their views in opposition to

tween the leaders of the senate and

DIE BY FIRE IN HOTEL.
One Man Cremated and Three Ot.,cr3
Missing at Tower, Mirr.

tO"Sis
Duluth. Mimi. Nov. 2S Thomas
Gheen was cremated, Frank Thomas
was probably fatally burned and three
others whose names have not been
ascertained are missing as the result
of fire which destroyed the Central
hotel at Tower. The suspicion is en-
tertained that the fire was of ircendi-
airy origin and that the hotel was fired
to cover up the crime of murder The
mercury stood at IS degrees below
zero and the guests escaped in scanty
raiment. 1t may be day or two be-
fore il is definitely known how many
lives we're lost. The theory OF murder
is based upon the fact that a man
was seen to leave the hotel shortly be-
fore the FIRE broke out.

CULVER, Ind, Aug. 1S-An interesting
and interested visitor at the closing exer-
cises of the Culver Naval School is Capt.
Richmond P. Hobson. The captain re-
viewed the boat exercises yesterday after
noon, and expressed great surprise at the
proficiency acquired by these Indiana lads
in their naval drills. Once, when the trim
white cutters swept by him in perfect align
ment, he clapped his hands vigorously, and,
turning impulsively to those about him,
said: Splendid! That ought to be ap-
plauded; it would do credit to the fourth
class at Annapolis Captain Hobson later
In the afternoon refereed a sailing race by
the cadet crews. This was won by the
fourth cutter, Cadet III. C. Bays, of Sulli-
van, coxwain. Captain Hobson, in his ad-
dress TO the cadets and guests of the naval
school last evening, impressed upon his
hearers the need of greater American
navy.
A reception to Captain Hobson in the Ca
det Library was followed by a cotillon in
his honor, led by Mr.. r. B. Gaynor, of Chi
cago. The captains partner for the evening
was Miss Josephine Robinson, OF lndlandp-
oils.
one of the prettiest features of the closing
exercises of the naval school was the cutter
illumination. Old residents say there has
never been a prettier sight Maxinkuckee.

forth so that the line of the boats moved
sinuously across the lake, like a mighty,

ENGLISH FISCAL POLICY
Taken Up by British Commercial
Bodies at Montreal.

MONTREAL, Aug. 1S.-At to-day's ses-
merce of the empire a resolution from
the Barnsley Chamber of Commerce was
adopted urging that the imperial govern
ment should maintain and extend CONNER
cial rights and that the consular service
should be reorganiZed and strengthened.
The government was criticised by Joseph
Walton, nj. p, of London, who presented
the resolution taking the government to
task for inaction in regard to the Chinese
trade. Two resolutions, one from the Car
diff chamber of commerce and one from
the chamber of shipping of the United
Kingdom, both favoring the abolition of
light dues, were merged into one and
adopted.
resolution from the Montreal Board of
Trade similar to others proposed by other
bodies and asking for reduction of inter-
colonial newspapers and magazine postage
was also adopted, being certain to en-
courage freer intellectual intercourse
among the colonies.
The financial question taken up at
this afternoons session. 1t came up on
resolution expressing the view that in the
interests of the empire a commercial pol
icy should be adopted based on the princi-

ACTION in FORECLOSURE
TRUST COMPANY SUES UNITED

Second Mortgage of $4,000. 900
Sought to Be Enforced Against
Plant and Bethlehem Co.'s stock.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-An action was be-
gun in the United States Circuit Court to-
day by the New York Security and Trust
Company against the United States Ship
Building Company and James Smith, jr.,
receiver, to foreclose a mortgage given by
the ship building company to the trust COM
pany, as the trustees, to secure the payment
of a series of twenty-year per cent. col
lateral mortgage bonds amounting to $40, 0,0O0,-
OO0
The mortgage covers all the property Of
the ship building company and the capital
stock of the Bethlehem Steel Company. The
property of the defendant corporation, now
in the hands of receiver appointed by the
federal courts of New Jersey, is, however,
subject to a prior lien i'm the shape of
$l60O0,OO0 mortgage issued to secure the pay
ment of series of SIG 600 bonds, in which
the Mercantile Trust Company. of New
York, is trustee. An action has already been
begun in the United States courts of New
Jersey to foreclose the prior mortgage.
The only lien against the capital stock of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, according to
the complaint filed to-day, is the series of
$1O0O0,0O0 of bonds issued to the New York

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Having caught
a big fish in the puddle, the postal author
tiles are now after some of the small fry.
1t is reported that Mr.. Bristow, the fourth
assistant. has made out a list of twenty
five officials. including assistant superin-
tendents, divisional clerks and subchiefs,
who are slated for dismissal. From all that
can be learned the following are among
them:
GEORGE A CHRISTIANCY, law clerk
in the assistant attorney generals office,
now ON leave of absence.

JOHN NJ. MASTEN. railway mail service.
w. C. HAZARD, rural free delivery

superintendent of free delivery.
III. CONQUEST, clerk rural free delivery.
c. P. GRANFIELD, assistant superin-
tendent salaries and allowances.
NJ. A. w. LOUIS, chief Of the supply
division.
No specific charge has been made against
Christiancy, and nothing involving him
has been found by the postal sleuths, but
the officials assert that he is not big
enough for the place of law clerk of the
department. Emanuel Speich was closely
associated with Machen and went on the
latter's bond when he indicted the
second time. Various charges have beer
made against John NJ. Masten, who has
been in the service for many years.
Whether any of them has been substan-
tiated cannot be learned. Hazard is
charged with having collected per diem
accounts for period of several days while
he was confined to a hospital in this city

performing the duties of chief clerk in
Machen's office for several years, although
the law did not make provision for such a

While he is no way involved in any of the
transactions traced to Beavers, the officials
have determined to clean out of that
branch of the service all officials who were
close to Beavers. NJ a. w. Louis, chief OF
the supply division, has been under inVesti-
CATION. 1t is understood that the inspectors
gave him a clean bill of health. but. never

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Aug. 49,
Authentic information was received this
morning announcing the Imprisonment of
French, German and Italian merchants at
Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela (Which port was
recently recaptured from the rebels by
President Castro's troops), for refusing
President Castro's demand for the repay
ment of taxes, already paid to the defacto
government. President Castro demands the
payment of arrears for the period OF oc-
cupation of Ciudad Bolivar by the revolu-
tionary government. The amount demand
ed exceeds $4,000. The merchants refuse
to recognize President Castro's decree
abolishing Ciudad Bolivar as a port of
entry and decline TO ship goods via Caru-
pano.
The Venezuelan gunboat Miranda went to
the district of Nutrias, exacting from the
merchants forced contributions and fines
amounting TO another $4,000 The goods
imported during the revolutionary regime
were confiscated and double duties were
imposed. 1t is reported that President Cas-
tro has threatened to annihilate the COM
merce and expel the foreign community of
Guayana, on the OrinocO.
A reign of terror prevails throughout the
district, owing to the extortion, threats
and barbarities of the party in power. The
entire region or the OrlnOco teens with
produce accumulated during the past two
years, for which there are adequate
shipping facilities. The native and Ger
man firms a Caracas appear to be seeking
to control the entire Orinoco import trade.
There is no money In the Orinoco country
and the distress is very great.
All the American river boats and inter-
ests up the Orinoco are at standstill, be-
ing unable to move in consequence of Pres
ident Castros determination to destroy
the transshipment trade in American and
European goods between Trinidad and the
OrinOco river country.
