SOMETHING IN THE SENATE
Only One Man Seems To BE Blocking
Things There.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-A determined
effort on the part of Cullom to obtain
MOrgan's consent to fix time for vot-
ing on the Panama canal treaty was
made while he senate was in eXecu-
tive session yesterday, and was met by
just as determined opposition on the
part of the Alabama senator. In max
ing the request Cullom said that the
United States had been trying for fifty
years to get Il canal across theisthmus,
and he appealed to Morgan not to
stand in the way of the consumma-
ton of this aspiration
He first asked for a vote tomorrow,
then for vote Monday and lastly
vote Tuesday. but each request was
refused. 81 think" said CulIom, ''the
senator is making great mistake. The
whole country recognizes his great
services of the past twenty years in
the interest of a canal connecting the
two oceans. Indeed. he may be called
the father of the isthmian canal, but
it certainly would seem that by his
present opposition to the Panama
treaty he is strangling his own off
spring.
To this Morgan sreplied. He said
that his interest ia canal is now
as great as il ever was; that it was,
indeed. so great that he felt he owed
it to himself and the country to exert
himself to the utmost to prevent the
ratification Of a treaty which he felt
to be so full of defects as the pending
agreement. He then complained Of
the refusal of the senate to allow him
to discuss the treaty in open session.
The country, he said, ough& to know
just what it was going into, but 1t
could not know so long as the doors
were closed every time the treaty was
mentioned.
Most senator's believed that the re-
fusal to fix a time for vote means
that the treaty cannot be ratified be-
fore the close of the present session.

FRANCE AND EXPANSION
She Gets Notice That It Is Not To BE in
the Direction of Abys-
Rinia.

Paris, Feb 2S-French advocates OF
national expansion have just suffered
a severe blow at the hands of Menelik,
emperor Of Abyssinia. Recently the
neguS broke off relations with NJ. La
garde, French minister to AbySsinia,
and expelled him from his capital.
Now the Ethiopian monarch has noti-
fed the sultan of Turkey that he has
intrusted the protection of the inter
eStS of his subjects in Jerusalem TO
the Italian consulate there.
For years the French government
has been trying to persuade the negus
to make France general diplomatic
representative of Abyssinia through
out the world, but according to last
reports Menelik has been rapidly
weaned from French influence y few
DAYS ago he discharged all the French
telephone and telegraphic employees on
the line between Ads Abeba and Ads
Salem and replaced Hhem by Italians
In the DjibOUti Journal a full account
of the differences between NJ. Lagarde,
the French minister. and the negus is
given.
Lagarde was anxious to have the
emperor visit the French port of Dill
bout in connection with the opening
of the Djibouti-Harrar railway, but
Menelik, finding that the invitation
was trick 20 place him in the light
of a vassal of France, refused to go.
Lagarde then cabled in rage to
France, alleging that the whole affair
was the result of British intrigue. He
also abused the negus in such fashion
that Menelik broke off relations with
him and forced him to leave the cap
itaI
/ Strong representations are being
made by the ultra patriotic press here
to the effect. that the French govern
ment should Immediately send a mis-
sion to Abyssinia to win back the ia
vor of the negus. or, at least. to pre-
serve what remains of French infiu-
ence there before it is too late. Sew
eraI well-known journalists. travellers
and politicians have volunteered to go
to Abyssinia on the condition that mon
ey be raised by public subscription to
pay their expenses.

ToKELL was AN EASY MARK
Forbes Lieks Him in Every Round and
Gets a Decision Which Doesn't
Tell the Story

Detroit, Feb. 2S.-England tried for
another championship last night and
scored another defeat. Her champion
bantamweight, Andy Tokell, was beat
en- cleanly and decisively by Harry
Forbes, the champion bantamweight
of the world. To say that Forbes was
given the decision at the end of ten
rounds comes far from telling the
measure of nis victory.
He won the fight from start to fin
ish, had the better of every round.
with the possible exception of the sew
enth in which he held his own, and
proved himself the superior of the Eng
lish champion in everything that goes
to make a champion, with the excep-
ton of courage, and in this he was
equal to TokelI.
TokeIl twice wrestled Forbes to the
floor, the foul work being to all ap-
pearances intentional. For both per-
formances he was hissed and warned.

leave within "a hours, telling him. it

find the house and everything in it in
fumes. Mrs Elliott threw the baby
out of the window, and with her own
clothes in flames followed it. Getting

and ran to'a neighbOr's.
Mr. Elliott snatched the other two
children from their bed and ras out.
When dropping them to fight the fire
