CANAL TREATY is FIRST
Republican Leaders Discuss
Senate Work.
CUBA GIVEN SECOND PLACE.
Reciprocity Must Be Settled TIL.
Month-senators Will Try to Get
Treaties Ratified as Speedily as
Posstble--To Keep Quorum Present.

Washington, March 6.-The Repub-
liean senators will make united ef-
fort to secure action on the Panama
canal treaty and the Cuban reciprocity
treaty as speedily as possible. A
meeting of the Republican steering
committee of the senate was held
after adjournment yesterday and this
course was decided on. The situation
was discussed at some length, and the
conclusion reached that business
might be greatly facilitated by keep
ing as many senators as possible in
the city and in their seats and the in
dividual members of the steering com
mittee agreed to devote their ener-
gies to this end. No one in the com
mittee had any definite information
as to the time that may be consumed
in debating the treaties, but it was
stated as a rumor that Senator Nor
gan had said that as there were a
number of new members of the senate
he would feel 1t incumbent on himself
to go over the ground quite complete
ly and even to review much that he
had already said. The evident pur-
pose of the Republicans is to avoid if
possible calls on account Of the alb
sence of quorum and to keep the
senate running as steadily as possible
They are agreed as to the desirahility
of comnleting the session at an early
day. The Cuban treaty, under the ex'
tension provided for in the agreement
between this country and Cuba, ex
pires at the end Of this month. The
Panama treaty. however. will be the
first of the two to be taken up.

dust, charged with steam, which, after
rising to a height of 5000 feet, fell
and besmeared them. The party
halted, but encouraged by the pluck
displayed by Nine. LacroiN, who urged
them to continue the ascent, the sci
entists proceeded and reached the

the descent more serious eruptions
occurred and the party was overtaken

at first suspected. Mrs. Stanley S
