FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw n
Visitor on Wall Street.

Nwe York. March 11.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw arrived here today
from Washington. He visited the sub
treasury shortly before the opening
hour and conferred briefly with acting
Assistant Treasurer Dantez and Cash
ier Marlor. The secretary, it is believ-
ed has come here to look into general
financial conditions.
The secretary also conferred with
Collector of Customs Stranahan. Con-
corning his visit Secretary Shaw said:
I am not here especially to discuss
money questions with the bankers. I
have no opinion TO express regarding
the situation. The primary cause of my
visit was to discuss certain details OF
customs procedure with Collector
Stanahan. There is no question of bond
interest anticipation before me. In fact.
l know of no necessity for it. I do not
expect TO see any bankers during my
stay. which will probably be quite
brief"
The secretary intends to leave New
York tonight for the south on a pleas
ure trip and return to Washington in
a week.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 11.-Violence
drivers, employed by the fourteen trans
fer companies of the city who went out
this morning for increased wages and
recognition of their union. Perhaps
half hundred men were employed
during the day to take the places of the
strikers, though but little work was ac-
complished by them.
During the afternoon, strikers and
their sympathizers gathered in large
bottoms and held up wagons driven
by non-union men.
At the Burlington freight depot, the
police were forced to draw their revol-
vers to disperse a crowd that had cut
the traces of teams hitched to two load
ed wagons. At another point, George
B. Evans, an employee of the American
Express Company, in attempting to Cis-
perse a crowd that was throwing stones
at driver, fired a shot into the ground
n N. Latin striker, interferred and
made a move to draw a knife, when
both men were arrested. Mrs. Evans,
wife of the man arrested, struck with
a whip the leaders of a crowd that in
terferred with the course of a wagon
on which she was riding. Later Mrs.
Evans took charge of a wagon belong
ing to the Swofford Dry Goods Compa-
ny and unaided, drove the team through
the crowd. Her progress was uninter-
ruted.
In Mulberry street between Ninth and
Tenth during the afternoon a crowd
blockaded the thoroughfare and threw
stones at the non-union drivers. Much
excitement prevailed and the police

THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION
Senator's Trying to Reach Agree
ment on Amendments to Canal
Treaty.

Washington, D. c., March 11-Demo-
cratic senator's are making an effort un>
der the leadership of Senator German
to reach an agreement upon amend
mentS to the Panama Canal treaty to
be supported by them and each one has
been asked to give his views upon this
point. So far substantial unanimnity
is expressed in favor of a modificat ton
of article %, so as to place the control
Of the canal in American hands. There
is general complaint among the demo-
Gratis that the provisions of that ar
ticle precludes the possibility of pro-
tecting the canal by American arms in
case the necessity for doing so should
arise. It is said, however, that no
amendments will be offered by the
democrats as party unless the support
of all the democratic senators can be
assured in advance. While practically
all of them are said now to be favorable
to an amendment that will give the
United States control of the canal, it is
understood that many especially among
the southern senator's says that if this
or that amendment should be offered
and rejected, they will reserve the
right to vote for the treaty in the end.

Manchester, n. H., March 11.-Not

hausted will former Mayor Albert A.
Ames of Minneapolis, consent to return
to that city and stand trial for alleged
bribery. His attorneys in this state
made strong effort in the superior
court today to secure his release on
habeas corpus proceedings and when
beaten they appealed to the supreme
court of New Hampshire. Should that
court decide adversely, the power Of
the supreme court of the United States
will be invoked to set him free. so that
he will probably be able to stay in
New Hampshire for a year or two at
least.
In the meantime he will be at liber-
ty providing he finds securities to the
amount of s12,500, which sum, however,
must be furnished before 2 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon next. AS DR.. Ames

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Foreign Minister Del Casse Tells of
the Part France is Taking

Paris, March u.-Foreign Minister
DelCasse made a vigorous presentation
to the chamber in deputies today of the
part France is taking in the various in
ternational questions. Although he
dwelt chiefly on the Macedonian, Nor
rocan, Siamese and other questions in
which France is specially concerned
his remarks extended over the whole
range of international affairs now en-
gaging attention, including the part
taken by the United States in the recent
Venezuelan affair. During his speech
NJ. De1Casse declared that the inde>
pendence Of Morocco was essential to
the security Of the French North Afri-
ca possessions. While expressing hopes
that the movement for general disar-
mament might eventually succeed. the
minister said France was not called
upon to take the initiative in such a
movement. He explained in detail the
part France had taken in connection
with Macedonia and referred also to
the satisfactory status of the alliance
between France and Russia and to the
reapproachment of France with Italy.
At the conclusion of the speech the
chamber adopted a resolution express
ing confidence in the course the gov
ernment was pursuing towards foreign
questions. This was an able personal
tribute to and triumph for DelCasse
and was significant of the strength Of
the ministry on the eve of the opening
of the debate relative to the application
Of the law of associations to the various
religious congrega tions.

Havana, March 1.-THE senate today
by a vote of 16 to ratified the recin-
rocity treaty with the United States.
The treaty was thus ratified by ex-
actly two thirds Of the vote of the
senate. Fifteen republican conserya-
tives or administration senators and
one nationalist voted in favor of the
treaty and five nationalists against it.
There We're three absentees, all of
whom, it is believed favored the
treaty. The ratification required only
majority vote, so that there were
three votes to spare. Senor SanguelIy.
the leader Of the opposition, explained
that his opposition was designed chiefly
to draw out whatever could be ad-
vanced in support of the treaty and
that the arguments of Senator Busta-
mente, as put forward in the senate
yesterday, convinced him that the
county would be more PROSPEROUS with
reciprocity than without it, but never
theless his attitude of opposition and
disapprova1 of the acts of the executive
department Of the government forbade
him voting yes.
The vote was taken Immediately on
the conclusion of a forceful appeal
Senor Rustamente. He insisted that
whether the trust or the producers
were the chief beneficiaries of the twen-
ty per cent. reduction of customs duties
on Cuban sugar shipped to the United
States, it was not possible that such
differential treatment favoring Cuban
sugar in competition with that of Eu-
rope could result other than favorabIy
to Cuba'S trade. Under the treaty,
he said, the Euroean producer would
be unable to compete with Cuba. If the
European nations were really seeking
to prevent the ratification of the treaty
in the United States senate, it was
not on account of the little they would
loose in the Cuban markets. but be-
cause they would no longer be able to
send sugar to the United States. The
treaty would also provide the protec-
ton that Cuba needed on tobacco. View
ed in another aspect, continued Senior
Bustamente, the treaty would give
Cuba national entity and allow her to
enter into commercial relations with
the nation which was hitherto consid-
cred only her guardian.
SentaOr BuStamente'S speech was
loudly applauded. The custom of ap-
proving the treaty by articles was dis
pensed with and the recommendations
of the committee were approved in their
anfiratv
