BY LARGE MAJORITY
SENATE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO
REPORT lSTHMiAN CANAL
TREATY FAvoRAeLY.

Senator Morgan Had Not Concluded
His Speech In Opposition When the
Vote 10 Taken but Declared His
Willingness to Transfer the Discus.
sion to Floor Of senate-Early Ac.
tion on the Measure Unlikely.
Washington. Feb. 4.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
agreed to report favorably the treaty
with Colombia for building an 18TH
milan canal.
The agreement to report the treaty
was reached after three or four sit.
tngs devoted in the main to hearing
Senator Morgan's objections to the
document in its present shape. He
had not concluded when the vote to
report was taken, but he announced
that he would be willing to transfer
the discussion to the floor of the sen.
ate. This was In accordance with a
suggestion made by Senator Cullom,
chairman Of the committee, who told
the dissenting senator that he had sat-
isfied himself that the committee was
prepared to report the treaty to the
senate without amendment and that
owing to the pressure Of other busi-
ness the members were anxious that
the committees discussion Of the sub.
Ject should come to an end. A vote
upon the resolution to report was then
taken and was carried by large ma
Jority. Only two senators, Morgan
and Bacon. voted against it. Senator
Bacon announced that his opposition
was to the time of reporting and not to
the treaty itself.
The committee will recommend the
ratification Of the treaty without
amendment. Senator Cullom says he
has formed no plans for calling it up
in the senate. The general opinion of
members of the committee is that
Senator Morgan will continue his op-
position on the floor Of the senate and
that several long sessions will be nee.
essary to secure vote.

ultimate Recovery.

Boston, Feb. 2.-The report during
the day from the bedside Of ex-Gov.
ernor Long were of a character to
give renewed hope OF his ultimate re-.
corery. The attending physician and
the others in position to know pos.
1tively heretofore have been reticent,
but the impression reflected from the
bulletins of the past twenty.four hours
was one OF encouragement, and those
In attendance made no attempt TO con.
ceal the fact that the day had been
very satisfactory from Q medical
standpoint.
During the day the patient took Z
sufficient amount Of nourishment with.
out trouble and exhibited strength that
was looked upon as gratifying. His
mind was clearer than for a week past,
and he was able to recognize those
about him as we'll as to converse
briefly. His temperature, which has
varied slightly during the past week.
was more nearly normal than at any
time since the critical turn In his i'll
ness a week ago.
The most hopeful news Of the day
came at 10 o'clock p. NJ. whom the
following bulletin was given out:
"Mr. Long has had q very comfort
able day. He has been more rational,
takes his food we'll, and has as much
strength as can be expected. His tom.
perature has been more nearly normal
than on any previous day."

sdy at MeHenry.

Guilty of murder in tho first dekre>
with recommendation Of the extreme
penalty" was the verdict of the Jury
IN the case Of John Rooney, on trial at
Fargo. The body had been out nearly
seven hours and the discussion is said
to have been over the infliction of the
death sentence or life imprisonment,
out the affair was SO entirely without
mitigating circumstances that hanging
was decreed. Rooney was unaffected
oy the verdict. and seemed to be the
!east concerned man In tho courtroom.
ne 10 twenty-three years old, bright
looking and handsome. Harold Sweet.
the victim, and two brothers Of White
Earth, Mimi. were camped outside the
Fargo city limits on the night of Aug.
1e. on route to Courtenay. to work in
the harvest fields. Rooney and two
chums endeavored to hold the three
boys up. but there was considerable
resistance and the other two men fied.
leaving Rooney struggling with Harold
sweet. who fell dead as a revolver was
nred. Rooney was seized by the other
two Sweet boys and held till oficers
arrived. The prisoner always asserted
that one Of his pals fired the shot to re-.
lease him from Sweets hold. The
defense submitted no evidence at the
trial. but Rooney's attorney made q
strong argument.

Gold Feet.

Cold feet are sign Of disordered cir
culation. Continual warming with ar
tificial heat is but temporizinS with
the evil. and the difficulty should be
overcome by proper dressing when that
ls in fault and by foot and ankle exer-
cises. The latter can be taken at fire.
quent intervals during the day. and
they will assist In stimulating the cir
culation of the blood. Point the toes
down to the extreme limit till you feel
the muscles strain over the ankles and
work the feet up and down eight or
ten times; then devitalize them and
shake them from the ankle. as one
loes the hand with loose wrist. Suf-
!erers from cold feet in bed can quickly
warm them by this exercise, and it
will bring relief and comfort during

Army Of Morocco.
Tangier, Feb. 2.--The sultan's troops
have utterly routed the forces OF the
Moorish pretender and captured Blu
Hamara himself.
A special courier who arrived dur.
ing the day after making a record
journey from Fec brought this news.
He reports that at daybreak last
Thursday the army of the sultan, com.
manded by the war minister. El Men.
ebhi. attacked the pretender's position
and inflicted complete defeat on his
following, at the same time capturing
Blu Hamara.
Another runner who has arrived
here from Fez confirms the news of
the defeat of the rebels, but says that
the report of the capture Of the pre-.
tender Is incorrect. He adds that it
is uncertain whether Bu Hamara's
body was among the great number of
slain. The sultan's victory was alb
solute, almost the entire following Of
the pretender being either slain or
captured. His camp, provisions and
ammunition were taken and the ar
tillery which was lost by the sultan's
army in the battle Of Dec. 20 was re.
captured.

llinnesota's Nieknames.

Minnesota has been designated as the
North Star State" Of which express
sion two or three explanations have
been given-one on account of its geo.
graphical position, another that the
north star appears In its coat of arms.
It has also been called the Lake
State" from the number Of small lakes
within Its limits, and the Gopher
State" because the early settlers
found these animals in such abundance
that they proved serious nuisance.
Even careful rider passing over a
plain where gophers abounded was in
danger Of being thrown by his horse
accidentally stepping into a gopher
hole.

ONLY EIGHT IDENTIFIED.
Twenty-three People Killed in the
Southern Pacific Wreck.

tWSnty.tnree PeoPle NiIIed IN tne
Southern Pacific Wreck.
Tucson. Ariz., Jan. 3o.-A revised list
Of the killed and injured in the COL
lision on the Southern Pacific Wednes.
day morning near Walls, places the
number Of dead at twenty-three, of
which eight have been identified. The
injured number twenty.one.
The wreck was caused by the failure
of Night Operator George Clough at
Vailsburg station to deliver orders to
the westbound train No. 8 known as
the Sunset Limited.
While running at speed Of fifty
miles an hour train No. 8 crashed into
No. Z. So great was the impact from
the two flying trains that the two en-
gines reared up and crashed the boil
ers like shells. The cars Immediately
IN the rear were piled up in tangled
mass.
Fire broke out at once and soon the
whole mass was In flames. Oil from
the broken tanks ran In streams on
each side Of the track and rendered
efforts at rescue very dangerous. Med
ical aid was quickly summoned from
Tucson. Sixteen of the worst injured
we're brought to Tucson.
Many OF the bodies taken from the
wreck had their hands clasped as if in
prayer. Twenty cofins were brought
to the scene Of the wreck and filled
with the charred remains.
It IL almost impossible to secure the
names OF the dead passengers. There
are IN many cases absolutely no means
Of Identification and officials say they
have no information that will help
out the matter.
A box full of bones and pieces of
flesh was taken from the morgue dur
ing the afternoon and buried in the
local cemetery. Information from the
scene Of the wreck says there are in.
Vulnerable small bones scattered about
the scene. Under the circumstances
it is quite impossible to give an ac-
curate statement as to the number Of
people that lost their lives.
