TO VOTE ON CUBAN TREATY.
Senate Agrees Unanimously to Take
Action This Afternoon,

Washington, March 1S.-Before ad-
journing at O'Clock tonight the sem
ate entered into unanimous agreement
to vote on the Cuban reciprocity treaty
at o'clock tomorrow. The hope of
securing a vote to-day was dissipated
by the discovery that there were more
speeches to be made in opposition to
the treaty than had been counted upon
Indeed, it was difficult to secure an
agreement to vote until tomorrow and
it was evident that this result could
not have been accomplished but for the
anxiety of senators to secure final ad-
journment of the session.
The executive session covered six
hours and was devoted largely to ad-
verse criticisms of the treaty. During
the day Senator Newlands made plea
for the annexation of Cuba and pre-
sented an amendment to the treaty ten
dering an invitation to that island to
become a state of the American Union
The debate was participated in by SEN
ators McEnery, Newlands, Spooner,
Teller, Nelson, Culom, German, Gar
mack and Bailey.

PECULIAR TROLLEY ACCIDENT.
A Freight Messenger Probably Fatally
Hurt.

Westport, Conn.,, March 1S.-As a re-
suit of peculiar trolley accident at
Turkey Hill, late tonight, Thomas
Jenkins, a freight messenger in troll
ley freight car, is probably fatally in
jured and his motorman, Louis Stovey,
was slightly hurt.
The car was on its way from Nor
walk to Bridgeport and when it reach
ed what is called Turkey Hill, at
Green Farms, the car lurched and was
thrown from the tracks and landed up
side down against sand bank at the
side of the road, There was about ten
tons of freight in the car at the time
of the accident and Jenkins was pinned
underneath the freight. His head was
badly cut and he had several ribs
broken. Stovey was injured but not
seriously.
An investigation after the accident
showed that recent rains have washed
away a considerable part of the road
and weakened the foundation of the
tracks. Consequently when the heav-
lily loaded express car struck this weak
spot the rails gave way beneath the
weight so quickly that the car was
thrown into the roadway.
A wrecking car was hurried to the
scene of the accident. Jenkins request
ed that he be sent to his home in Nor
walk and his request was complied
with. Stovey accompanied the injured
man

While in motion it was remarked that
the challenger moved smoothly and

from Denny's yard and it has been ar

have many remarkable features, con-
firming the forecast cabled by the Asso-

high narrow sail plan, The Sham
rocks steel mainmast is of appreciably
less diameter than any previous SPAR
and the gaff and boom possess the
same characteristic. promising great
advantage in reducing windage. The
mainmast and topmast, which are in
one, are shorter than those of Sham
rock II. This decrease, which is prin-
cipally in the topmast, is made up by
the immense topsail yard built of hol-
low steel. When set this will give the
desired height, with the valuable feat
ure of not being taxed in the yacht S
