CANAL BILL PASSED
New York Senate For Hun
dred Million Plan.
FOURTEEN REPUBLICANS OPPOSE 1T
Democrats Instructcd by Leader
Murphy to vote For Measure.
MnIby and Grady Have
n Lively Tilt.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 25.-After an
entire days debate upon the subject
the senate at G:20 O'Clock last night by
vote of 32 ayes to II nays, passed the
Davis Bostwick thousand ton barge ca
nal bill. All the negative votes were
cast by Republicans, the Democrats
lacking of unanimous vote only that
of Senator Frawley, paired with Senn-
tor Amber, who was called home by
illness.
There were fears early in the day
that the bill would be defeated, but
late in the afternoon Senator Grady
received n special delivery letter from
Leader G. Il. Murphy of Tammany de-
string the Democrats to vote for the
bill. They did so solidly and saved the
day for canal Improvement.
A striking feature OF the debate was
the earnest contention of Minority
Leader Grady that both parties were
pledged to support the measure, while
Senator Raincs, Republican leader,
squarely repudatcd this claim, declar-
ing that the Republican platform com
mitted the party TO canal improvement,
but not to the $1O1 100000 scheme nor
to any scheme calling for direct taxa
ton. Senators Malby and Aids also
earnestly opposed the bill on similar
grounds.
Senator Green on the other hand, be-
lieved the party was pledged to sup
port the measure and declared that his
district Rroomp) favored IT,
Senators Malby and Grady had a
lively tilt as to the relative Importance
of st. Lawrence county and the big cit
les, the former claiming that ST. Law
renee county paid a larger proportion
ate share of taxes than New York city,
Mr.. Grady characterizing st. Lawrence
county as wilderness peopled by
game and fish and trees. He called
Senator Malby's district dependent"
district and declared that it would not
even allow New York to better itself at
its own expense.
Senator Malby introduced an amend
ment striking out the direct tax provi-
sion, but subsequently withdrew it.
! Senator Lewis returned to the attack
with an amendment changing the pro-
| posed route through Monroe county and
calling for another million Of dollars
for the purpose. This was lost-yeas,
| -; nays, 81.
Later he proposed Il years delay in
submitting the question. This, too, was
| defeated-31 to 14-after which Sena'
tor Grady began his extended speech in
favor of the bill and spoke for an hour.

To Cure Typhoid Fever.

With the object of discovering a
cure for typhoid fever remarkable
experiment is being conducted at Ann
Arbor University, Michigan. Six big
tanks have been constructed, with a
layer of gelatine, and of these I44

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be s
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, March 20, 1908.
The special session Of the Seuate
of 1.-The Fifty eighth Congress has ad-
journed after having ratified the Pa
mama canal and the Cuban treaties
the former without amendment and
the latter so amended as to prevent its
provisions going into operation until
after a resolution shall have passed
both houses of Congress approving the
agreement. During the closing hours
o. the session Senator Hanna was go.
ing about rubbing his hands and ask
ing if anyone believed that the Pres
dent had accomplished anything by
excepting the Senate in after school.
Mr. Hanna was overjoysd because
the Presidents purpose Of putting the
provisions of the Cuban treaty into
immediate effect had been defeated.
XIX
Senator Morgan maintained his at
titude of hostility to the Colombian
Canal treaty, as framed, to the last
and closed the debate for the opposi-
ton with a remarkable strong and
lucid speech outlining the weakness Of
the convention. Senator Morgan has
made a remarkable and sincere fight
against the treaty. Apr pleciatlng that
his.posltion was unpopular he dlsre-
garded all consideration of personal
glory and overlooked all criticism,
fighting almost single handed great
battle for what he believed to be the
right. On the final vote but four
democratic senators voted with him
against the treaty although four others
were paired against it. Those voting
nay were Morgan, Pettus, Daniel,
Martin and Teller and those paired
against the agreement were Senators
Culberson, Dubois, McLaurin and
Money.
XXX
The desire to get through and leave
Washington dominated all else on the
last days of the session and many de-
mocrats who had prepared speeches
against the Cuban treaty retralned
from delivering them, aprreclatlrg
that the same contest would occur
again next session They saved their
power until the treaty should be prac
tlcally on its final passage. Senators
Foster, McEnery and Teller and New
lands spoke briefly against the conven-
tion and then permitted 1t to come to
a vote.

The very limited influence which the

the negro whom he nominated during
the regular session for Collector OF
