DEMOCRATS REFUSED.
Would Not Agree to a Vote on the
Aldrich Bill.

An effort was made today to obtain an
agreement to vote on the Aldrich bill, but
several democratic senators refused to con-
slider the proposition. and it was stated by
some members Of the minority that there
would be sufficient debate on the measure to
prevent vote during this session.
decision was reached by the House
committee on rules this morning to take
no action a rule for the consideration Of
currency legislation until action on the Aid
rich bill has been taken by the Senate.
Unless the Senate passes the Aldrich bill
today the prediction Is made that no
financial legislation will be had al this ses-
sion.
If, however, the Senate passes the Aldrich
bill today or early tomorrow rule will be
brought in by which the combination Fow-
er-Payne-Aldrich bill shall be considered
as a substitute for the Aldrich bill as it
comes from the Senate. In this way the
combination bills Of the House and Senate
can be referred to a conference committee
and the result Of the deliberations of this
conference report will undoubtedly be
adopted by both houses. What will be
agreed upon as to financial bill If this
plan is carried out Is impossible to predict
With disposition to fiibuster against
the Aldrich bill in the Senate. which has
been manifested today, House leaders see
little hope for action on their part toward
passing a financial bill.

DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE.
Representative Richardson Says They
Will Keep It Up.

Representative Richardson, Tennessee,
leader of the House minority, says of the
democratic attitude In the House:
I'VE propose to keep up our policy until
noon on Wednesday, 1 do not consider that
the man who strikes the first blow is the
aggressor. but the man who makes 1T nee
essary. We are simply defending our rights,
showing our opposition to such an unprece-
dented act as that by which the republicans
unseated member of the House when no
quorum was present. We will continue to
demand roll call upon every proposition
and the constant presence of quorum, and
will take every parliamentary advantage
to which we are entitled. If that policy
produces an extra session we are ready to
take the responsibility.
1.-The republicans have not enacted the
legislation they promised the people. They
have passed measure for tariff reform.
They have not reduced taxation nor have
they passed any sufficient bill for curbing
the trusts. They won't pass the Littlefield
bill or anything effective. Nor have they
kept their promises as to banking and cur
rency reform. Even if we should force an
extra session l doubt If the republicans
would keep their promises them

PANAMA CANAL.
Conference Between Attorney General
and Company's Counsel.

Attorney General Knox and William Nell
son Cromwell, counsel for the Panama
Canal Company, have held conference to-
day looking toward an agreement which, If
made, will enable the United States to buy
the canal property after the 4th of March.
Under the present agreement the Senate
must ratify the treaty before the expiration
of the present session of Congress.
II have full powers to make an agree
ment for the Panama Canal Company with
the United States either before or after the
4th Of March," said Mr.. Cromwell discuss
ing the matter this forenoon. Therefore
whatever agreement is made will be bind
ing. l have the utmost confidence that the
negotiations will come out satisfactorily for
all concerned. The government wants the
canal property and the canal company is
desirious of selling to the government. OF
course, If no agreement is reached both
sides will be free, and If we desire We can
dispose of the property wherever we can
find the best market The property now is
worth a great deal more than it was
year ago. The isthmian commission, the
President Of the United States and Con-
gress have all agreed that it is the best
route. That fact is proof to the world that
our property is wonderfully valuable
asset But we will not attempt to get
higher price from the United States than
that already named. We will act squarely
and fairly. Neither will we make any
threats about selling it to foreign govern
mentS,'

EUROPEAN OPPOSITION.
Foreign Feeling in Regard to the Gu
ban Treaty.

Although only one protest has so far
been filed with the State Department by
European powers against the ratification
of the Cuban treaty, yet it is learned that
polite but pointed inquiries have supple
mented the note filed by the British ambas-
sador. by other parties in interest. notably
France and other European beet sugar pro-
ducing countries. In advance Of the con-
summation Of the treaty OF course no open
threat could be made, but events are shap-
ing themselves 50 as to warrant the full
expectation by .Ae officials here that Eu-
rope will endeavor to retaliate against what
it regards as the unjust discrimination
against European goods that would be in
volved in the application of the Cuban
treaty.
1t is now known that the inquiries referred
to have not been confined to Washington,
but that they have also been directed to
President Palma in Havana and have added
very much to the difficulty he is under in
securing favorable action upon the treaty
in the Cuban congress.

ENSIGN WoRTMAN's CASE.
Will Be Tried for "Culpable Inefa-
ciency"

Five specifications are contained in the
general charge of "culpable inefficiency in
the performance of duty" preferred against
Ensign Ward K. Workman, who is to be
tried by court martial at Pensacola, Fla,
next week for alleged responsibility for the
accident on the Massachusetts some weeks
ago in which nine men were killed by the
explosion of an eight-ipch gun. Briefly, it
is charged that the ensign ordered the
breech of the gun to be opened for the
purpose of returning electrical fire while
the lock remained cooked; that he failed to
exercise due precaution in returning to elec-
tricai firing: that he was guilty Of negli-.
gence in failing to cause the bolt of the
gun to be eased down before ordering the
breech opened; that he was guilty of 'cul-
pable negligence" in allowing the target
practice to be conducted while the lanyards,
used In firing the gun by percussion, were
led out and hooked to the triggers Of the
combination locks, and finally. that he or
dered the breech of the eight-inch gun to be
opened without assuring himself that the
breech of the left gun was closed.

PROBABLY NOT ENGLISH.
Official Language to Be Used at The
Hague Tribunal,

Change of at least one article of The
Hague protocol submitted to the powers by
Mr.. Bowen will probably be required before
1t can be signed In the original draft Of
the convention it was provided that the
English language should be employed at
The Hague tribunal in the arbitration of
the question of preferential treatment. It
is claimed by the European powers that
French is and has been for centuries the
language of diplomacy, and that it will be
violation of all precedentS, and one to
which at least two of the claimant powers
will not consent for the English language
to be used exclusively in the Venezuelan
case. There Is no objection to the presen-
tation of the various arguments in English,
German or as many languages as desired,
but what the powers will insist on is that
the official proceedings of the court itself
shall be in French. In view of the opposi-
ton which has developed regarding that
article it is not expected that Minister
Bowen will insist upon the adoption Of
English as The Hague's official language

BOLIVIA SEEKS OUR AID.
This Government Does Not Feel al
Liberty to Intervene.

Liberty to Intervene.
The State Department is fully advised by
both sides-Brazil and Bolivia-of the daily
developments in the Acre controversy. 1t is
understood that Bolivia at least has sought
the intervention Of the United States to
protect her against the Brazilian demands,
which practically amount to the appropria-
tion of territory regarded by Bolivia as her
own. The government here is watching the
situation with keen interest, but has found
itself obliged to adhere to it's fixed rule Of
non intervention in such cases unless it's
good offices are sought by both parties, and
Brazil has made no such request There
fore, as long as the issue is only between
American powers the government will re-
frain from interference. but no color of title
resting on moneyed investments will be re-
garded sufficient to warrant European
interme eddling in this dispute.
