CANAL TREATY RATIFIED.
LONG FIGHT IN THE SENATE AT
An END.
Convention Passed by Vote of Seventy
three to Five tn Executive Session
Not Even Single Punctuation
Changed-Relief at Termination of
the Struggle.

Washington, March 17.-Without dot
ting an 'i' or crossing st." even
without changing single punctuation
mark, the senate to-day voted to ratify
the treaty with the republic of Colom-
bia for the construction of an isthmian
canal. The vote for ratification was
seventy-three in the affirmative to five
in the negative. The senate was in
executive session when the result was
announced, so that only the senators
themselves and a few confidential en-
pioyes were present. All the senators
announced themselves as gratified to
have the long struggle. terminated, but
none of them manifested their apprecia-
tion by cheers or handclapping. On the
contrary all of them seemed more con-
cerned about getting away from the
chamber than anything else so that by
the time that the senate could adjourn,
which it did almost Immediately after
the result was announced. most of the
senators had left their seats and some
of them had donned their hats and over
coats.
The day was given up almost entirely
to general debate on the treaty and in
addition to the set speeches made un-
der the general agreement by Senators
Morgan and Cullom, there were many
short addresses and rather long
speech by Senator Daniel of Virginia.
The only party vote of the day was talk
ell on the substitute for article 4, which
was agreed upon by the democratic
caucus and had reference to the acuui-
sition of territory in Central and South
America by the United States. There
were a number Of speeches on this
amendment, but it was voted down by
an almost two-thirds majority the bal
lot footing up 81 ayes to 27 noes. When
the senate adjourned at o'clock there
was a general belief that the business
of the session might be completed in
timetopermit final adjournment to-mor-
row. Some, however, placed the date
twenty-fouy hours later.

INVITATION FROM HAWAII
PEOPLE ASK PRESIDENT TO
VISIT THEM.
Desire That He Arrange Hts Western
Trip to Include the Islands w ould
Install Wireless Telegraph to Keep
Him in Touch with Government
Affairs White Aboard Ship.

(By Pacific Cable to the Associated Press.)
Honolulu, March H.-The people of
the Hawaiian Islands are very much
interested in the western trip of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and for some time past
leading citizens have been discussing
the matter with a view to asking the
president to extend his trip beyond San
Francisco and come here. An urgent
invitation has been forwarded to the
president inviting him to visit the Ha-
waiian Islands, and it is planned that
in the event of his acceptance of the
invitation, a system of wireless teleg-
raphy will be arranged so that the
steamer ON which the presidential par
| ty travels will be in constant commit
nication with the mainland and with
| the Hawaiian Islands. In this way the
president can be informed daily of the
trend of national affairs and can direct
| the machinery of the government on
the vessel on which he travels. In the
event of matters requiring the presi-
dents immediate return to Washington
it would be an easy matter for the de-
| tails of the return trip to be arranged
| by wireless telegraphy, and no time
would be lost by delays, either here or
in San Francisco, in the arranging of
the route and other details incidental to
trip of the president of the United
States from either Honolulu or San
Francisco on his return across the con-
tinent. The hope is enthusiastically
expressed that the president will so ar
range his plans as to permit his visit
ing the Hawaiian Islands.

senators in the city left the capitol at
o'clock tonight in the firm conviction
that it would be possible to conclude the

Gives an Account of tho Conferences
President Hall Leaves Town mmetlt-
ateIy After the Meeting-JoInt sched-
uIe Asked For-Anothcr Meeting Ex-
pected Tomorrow and an Agreement
is Looked For at That Time.
The pending difficulties between the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company and large body of
the roads employees may soon be ad-
justed satisfactorily to the wishes of all
concerned.
AS result of yesterdays conference
held at Presidents Halls office at
o'clock in the afternoon everything
looks toward an amicable settlement
soon.
The committee appointed by the direc-
tors met the joint committe Of thirty
nine men of the railroad men at the
scheduled time and the meeting was in
session for about three hours.
President Hall made the following
statement late yesterday afternoon:
1.-THE committee, excepting Director
Charles F. Choate, who was unable to
be present on account of illness, ap-
pointed Saturday by the board Of direc-
tors of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, consisting
Of President John M. Hall, Vice Presi-
dent Of the Board William d. Bishop
and First Vice President w. F. Merrill
met the committee of conductors and
trainmen at the company's offices this
afternoon at 2 o'clock and heard what
ever grievances the committee had to
present. The committee of the directors
will report back to the board such facts
as they obtained and the matter will be
left to the further direction of the
board, which will meet at an early day.
Precisely when this meeting will occur
has not yet been determined, but it will
probably be very soon.'
Mr.. Fitzpatrick of the Trainmens as
sociation said last evening that the
mems committee stated their case and
then asked for a joint schedule. No de-
cisive action can be taken in the mat
ter until the roads officials report back
to the board of directors, and it rests
with them to make any concessions.
From remarks made by both sides af-
ter the session the meeting was very
satisfactory to all concerned. Imme-
diately after the conference President
Hall left this city, and an inquiry al
his home failed to elicit where he
had gone, although it was thought last
evening that he had left to confer with
the board of directors. Mr.. Bishop also
left presumably for his home in Bridge
port.
On inquiry at the depot it was learned
that the presidents car had not left
this city, SO the president must have left
by regular train.
Valentine Fitzpatrick, when asked as
to the runor that number of the
mems committee had left the city af-
ter the conference said that it was not
so. They are all here" said he, Eek
cept one member. who asked to be ex-
cused on account of personal business. -
Valentine Fitzpatrick then made the
following statement last evening in
reference to the situation:

Judge Muir made the point that the

eide. Mr.. John L. Dcdd represent ed
the other side. holding that the matter
was within Judge Gregory's juristio-

for argument Thursday before Judge
Miller. Mr.. Dodd contends that the
