Washington, March 70, 1903.
After twenty-iour years service IN
the Senate, broken IN health but viz
orous intellect, Senator Vest reuies to
private life an Opumst. "Our people
are just as honest and patriotic As IN
the days of the Revolution, and as
willing TO make as many sacrifices for
their county, he sad recently, "Bnt
they are too busy to spend much time
with the hero.C and sentimental" he
| added. Referring TO Senator Gormln's
return to the leadership OF the demo
Gratis in the Senate Mr.. Vest said IL
think MI German would accept the
presidential nomination If 1t were tend
cred to him but if the tariff question
were TO become the paramount issue
his views on that subject would be-
come serious obstacle to his nomin-
| alton There aie, moreover, two i'm
portant reasons why the democratic
candlate should come from New York
| state. First, the nominee should con
troll the electoral vote of that state;
second, Mr.. Roosevelt is almost GER
tain TO be nominated and should be
confronted with an opponent from his
own state Referring to president
Roosevelt, Mr.. Vest SAID he regarded
him as the strongest candidate in the
republican party. Speaking Of the re-
moval OF the tariff on coal he said it
had forced the republicans to admit
that the removal of the tariff caused
lowering of prices. something they had
disputed IN the past.

The Senate is still in session and
little progress has been made IN the
ratification of the Il eates now pending.
Senator Morgan has convinced many
democrats that 1t would be unwise for
the United States to accept the Pana-
ma treaty as it now stands and two
amendments are proposed, one pro
viding that this country shall exercise
complete soyeIelgnty over the zone of
land through which the Canal is to
pass, the other striking out the pro-
vision that the United States shall not
increase its territory at the expense Of
Colombia or any other South American
, republic. The latter clause is claimed
to be extraneous and Is apropos to
the convention. The republicans can
not ratlfy either treaty without some
democratic votes. The Senate now
stands 81 to 53 and Senator Bard will
not vote for the Cuban treaty, there
fore 1t would require tour democratic
votes to ratlty that convention and
three to approve the Colombian agree
ment. The democrats also believe
that on constitutional grounds the
Cuban agreement should contain a pro-
vision that It's terms are not to go into
operation until enabling legislation
has been passed by both houses of
Congress If these amendments are
agreed to both treaties will be ratified
at an early date.

NON UNION SIDE
 HAS BEEN FINISHED
Operators Will Begin Before
 the Commission Today
The Principal Evidence Yesterday Was That of General Gobin Who Testified of the Lawlessness Dur ing the Strike.

Philadelphia, January 9.-After occu- pying eight days, during which time they presented about 150 witnesses, the non-union men closed their case today before the coal strike commission. The coal companies will open their case tc- morrow.
 The principal witness before the com mission today was Lieutenant Governof J P. Gobin, senior brigadier general of the national guard of Pennsylvania. General Goblin was In command of the Third brigade while the troops were on duty in the hard coal fields. He was on the stand three hours and a half, and during most of the time was en- gagged in a recital of the conditions as ke found them in the territory he cov- cred. From his observation and from reports made to him by his officers it vas his opinion, he said, that an ''eX- c.ted state of lawlessness" existed in the regious; that disturbances were numerous; that the presence of the troops was absolutely necessary 70 pre- serve law and order. and that it was difficult to maintain the law even after al the troops in the state had been placed in the disturbed territory.
 During the oss-eXamination General Gubin had several tilts with Clarence s. Darrow, counsel for the miners out they never reached a serious point.

PLAGUE EXAGGERATED
 BY CORRESPONDENTS
IL Has Not Invaded a Single Sonora
 Town.

Tucson, Ariz., January 9.-A meeting of the town boards of Nogales. Ariz., and Nogalcs. Mex. was held today to protest against reports sent out by ir- responsible correspondents on the ex- istence of the plague in Guaymas and other Sonora towns. The authorities from Guaymas say that the business of the state has been seriously dam aged by the false reports. Governor Isabel announces that the most strin- gent precautions have been taken and that TO one is allowed to enter Guay- mas without being quarantined four teen days outside of the city. A party of high officials are now in quarantine at the island.
 At NCSales the custom officials have a thorough system of Immigration for all goods coming througs from Mexico. Governor Izabel states that he is in daily communication with the governor of Sinaloa who asserts that the plague situation of Mazat!an has been grossly exaggerated. It is stated that on Thursday there were thirty-fve cases of the plague in Mazatlan, of which six were convalescent and fourteen en- tirely out of danger.

V0R HOLLEBEN
 NOT RECALLED
He Felt Though That He Was Not
 Properly Appreciated.

Berlin. January 9.-Ambassador Vol Hulleben was not recalled from Wash inFton. but, learning that his govern 1aent was not wholly satisfied with his work. and feeling i'll and depressed, he Cabled for a long leave of absence. which was immediately granted. Baron Speck Von Sternberg's temporary as signment as charge d'affaires of Ger many at Washington will be followed after an interval by his appointment as an; bassador.
 All that the foreign office officials will say about pr. Won Holleben Is: He was not recalled and his leave is granted upon his own initiative. The government would never recall an am bassador in the midst of important ne gCtiations without grave reasons, and these certainly do not exist in this case. The supposition that the government is annoyed because the ambassador failed to obtain President Roosevelt's acceptance of the arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute is wholly incorrect.
 Germany reckoned in advance that the president might have weighty req sons for declining, hence her note of December 23 contained the alternative proposition to refer the matter to The Hague arbitration court. It was fell: that the international political factors in the case dictated the appropriate ness of first offering the president the 5lI bitratorship."

GOUDY'S SQUEAL
 FINANCIAL PAGE
Set by His 0pponets He Says Is Too
 Hot for Him.

Denver, January 9.-Frank C. Goudy, a prominent republican candidate for United States senator from Colorado to succeed Henry Nj. Teller. tonight is sued a statement to the republicans of the state in which he charges that through the misrepresentation of his opponents, several members oi the leg islature pledged to his candidacy, have been persuaded away from his support and that others who refused to yield have been asked what it would take to induce them to desert him to the op- ponents.
 Goudy declares that he has used no money in the campaign except for legitimate expenses. He declares that he has no ill-will toward any of his opponents and would most assuredly prefer to see a republican senator from Colorado, also a full delegatin to con- gress. provided the republicans can honestly secure a majority of the leg islature on joint ballot. He con cluded by saying that the present con- test is one of the strongest arguments ever presented that the United States senators should be elected by popular vote.

BEET SUGAR MEN

 to the Cuban Treaty.

Washington, January 9.-W. s. Hum- pErey. H. H. Hatch and James G. Me Fherson. representing the beet sugar interests of Michigan, held a conference today at the committee room of Sena.. tor Burrows for the purpose of decid- iLe on a course of action with reference to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. After the meeting they announced that they had decided to wait until after the com mittee on foreign relations should make its report on the treaty before deciding what line to pursue
 They expressed themselves in some what skeptical terms as to the possi- bility of securing any substantial guar autee that there would be no reduction for the next five years beyond the 20 Fer cent provided by the treaty. say ing that their principal fear lay in the O. eration of the clause which protects Cuban sugar to the extent of 20 per cent over all other sugars. They said they had made no canvass of the sen ate.

Washington, January 9. (Special)- The public discussion of possible change in the standard of currency in Mexico adds interest to a statement just prepared by the treasury bureau of statistics regarding the trade rela- that country. With no part oi the world has the commerce of the United States grown more rapidly in recent years than with Mexico. Exports to Mexico from the United States, which amounted to S15,OOO, ,OC0 in 1891, will be over $zO.OOOO0O in 1902, and imports into the United States from Mexico, which were S2S, ,00O O00 in 1901, will be fully s41. .OOO, ,O0O in 1902 Mexico is the one country with which our imports and exports balance.
 To Canada, that other adjacent coun- try. We sell twice as much as the value of our purchases from it. Our inn ports from the Central American coun- tries are 50 per cent more than our ex- ports to those countries From the West Indies our imports are nearly twice as great in value as our exports to them. From South America our imports are nearly three times as great as the value of our exports to them. ard from Asia our imports are more than double our exports to that part of the world.
 To Europe we export nearly three times as much as we import from that continent. In the case of Mexico, however, our exports to that country at present just equal our imports from that country, the total value of the exports rom the United States to Mexico in the eleven months ending with November. 1902, being SSS, ,124. .159, and our imports from Mexico during the same period, $3S,712,O51.
 MeXico's trade with the United States grows more rapidly than with any other part of the world. The ex- ports from the United Kingdom to Mexico grew from sS,OO0, 900 in 1881 to lO.5OOO coo in 1900; these from France to Mexico. fell from 5000, 900 in 1881 to SICOO,000 in 1899; those from Germany grew from s70OOOO in 1881 to $5.OOO 900 in 1899, and those from Spain, from SS11.0O0 in 1881 to a little less than S2,COOO0O in 1900: while from the United States. the exports to Mexico grew from $11.000,00O in 1881 to $S5. .000,OOO in 1900, and, as already indicated, over s41. .OOO, GOO in 1902.
 COntiguity, quick rail communication and the presence of large American in terests in Mexico are the principal causes oi the rapid gains which the United States is making over her rivals in the trade of Mexico. Over 9.eOO miles of railroad are now Tn oper- ation in Mexico. bringing all parts of that country into direct communica- ton with the United States, and ac-

Washington, January 9. (Special)- There is a movement on foot to intro duce a bill in the senate admitting New Mexico and Arizona as a single state. There are indications that the New Mexican delegation here now is not averse to the proposition. their idea being that a half a loaf is pre- ferrable to no bread at all. The bill is probably part of a scheme of the republican leaders in the senate to prevent affirmative action on the state hood question. It is assumed by them that the introduction of a compromise measure would weaken MT. Quay's following and result in the death of the omnibus bill.
 Messrs. Quay and Foraker still claim that they have votes enough to pass the omnibus bill and that they are not afraid of defections in their ranks
 The announcement is made tonight that the president has decided to send to the senate the name of Edwin Baker as collector of customs at Nogales, Arizona. A vacancy in the collector ship was caused recently by the death of Collector Doan. There has been hard fight for the vacancy, many well backed men being presented 10 the president.
 MT. Baker was originally from West Virginia and prior to the Spanish American war was employed in the United States Express office located in the treasury building. On account of his health he was made an immigrant inspector at Nogales. His work in

cording to a recent statement furnish ed to the state department by the United States consul general in Mex ico. fully siOO.c0O.0OO of capital from the United States are located temporarily or otherwise in Mexico. Mexico is the one country south of the United States to which our exports show an appre- ciable growth. To the Central Amer ican states our exports in 1890 were S5,296,478, and in 1902, SC, ,322, ,6S5; to South America our exports in 1890 were S5S, ,752,64S, in 1902, $3S,O43,617; to the West Indies our exports in 1890 were sS3, 7,222, in 1902. s43,6S2 ,951: while to Mexico our exports in 1890 were Sl3.- z85,2S7, in 1902 s39, S73, COG and in the calendar year 1902 will be over $40, GOO. coo.
 The most important of our exports to Mexico are manufactures of iron and steel, machinery, unmanufactured cot ton, lumber, manufactured wood, man Ufacturcs Oi cotton, and gun powder. Our imports from Mexico are chiefly textile grasses, especially sisal, coffee, hides, cattle, lead, copper and tobacco; and in addition to these there are large quartities Of silver in ore and consider able gold which arc not included in the figures of imports of merchandise.

Mazatlan, Mex, January 9.-Thirty- seven persons gre in the lazarettos and six deaths have occurred today, one entire family having died of the plague. Many persons have left the city and gone to the outskirts of the city to live. number have departed. It has been decided to disinfect the entire city.
