The Senate has ratified the Alask-
an treaty, practically without OPP.
position, very few senators voting
against it, the vote being vive voice.
The ratification OF this treaty before
any of the other important conven-
tions before the Senate was unex-
pected but an opportunity was seen
to effect its approval and was
promptly seized by the Senate lead
ers. Today, as soon as the routine
business is disposed of, the Columbi-
an treaty, providing for the building
of the PanamasCanal, will be taken
up and the Senate expects to spend
the day in executive session. It is
the hope of the leaders that all of the
treaties can be ratified before the
4th of March although there is some
doubt on the ques ton, as Senator
Morgan will strongly oppose the
Columbian treaty in its present
form and it is expected that several
sessions will have to be devoted to
it's consideration.

Gathering to Promote School Work
at Lincoln School.
TO MEET AGAIN THIS WEEK.
Superinfenden mt Cameron Will Have the
Parents of Garfield school Students
Meet Friday Night Also Meet
ing III the High School Soon.

A Parents Meeting was held at
the Lincoln School house last Thurs
day night, and was attended by
about 100 of the parents of pupils at
tending that school. A program in
which the children appeared had
been arranged, and was carried out
to the great satisfaction of all
present, after which several citizens
made remarks regarding the schools
and its work. Among those who
participated ip the discussion were
Professor D. E. Cameron, city super
intendent and principal of the high
school, John Bergstrom, Rev. Bor-
dahl, Secretary Sheridan, of the
School Board. Hans Amply and
Oliver Westcott. A similar meeting
will be held in the Garfield School
Friday evening of this week, and
little latter on there will be meet
ing in the high school, The first of
these meetings were held during last
summer and were so successful that
there has been demand for them
among the parents. Not only do
they help to encourage the work in
the schools, but they have been found
useful in promoting a feeling of
common interest beween the teachers
and the parents, and in bringing the
latter together III closer social re-
lations.

Thompson Loses His Flaht.

Washington, D. C., February 17.-(spe- cial. )-After a spirited debate this after noon the bill introduced by Representa- tive Thompson of Alabama and favorably reported by the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, serving for the use of the Coosa river, in Alabama, for the purpose of generating electricity by the Robert A. Chapman company, failed to get the necessary two- thirds vote for it's consideration and was, therefore, lost.
 The bill had passed the senate and had received a favorable report from the house committee, and it's passage was expected. Representatives Thompson, Underwood and Bankhead made speeches for the bill, while it was opposed by Representa- tive Burton chairman of the rivers and harbors committee. and Representative Maddox of Georgia
 Maddox opposed 1t on the ground that it turned over to the corporation the use of the power and provided for the con struction of a dam on the river which has already been improved several hun dred miles.

FEELS II HIS DUTY ID
 INFORM COUNTRY OF FACTS
If His Reasons and Arguments Arc Not Heard He Will CheerfuIly Ac- quiesce, ao His Duty as Sena-
 tor Will Be Discharged.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington. February 11-6speciat)-- Senator Morgan of Alabama. said to- night that he was not obstructing the Panama canal route at all. He was only determined that the President and the country should know the facts regarding the difficulties in the way legal and oth- erwise. before the project was finally con summated.
 He said 1t was in his opinion, d bad Eiece of legislation for the senate to act upon the treaty in its present form. He had offered thirty amendments, and 1t was his intention to fuI1y captain each amendment before it was adopted. Then if his reasons and arguments were not heard, he would oheerfuliy acquiesce in the decision, satisfied that he had done his duty to his country ana discharged his duty as a United States senator.
 He does not think the senate has any power to cut him off in his remarks or abridge his time in the consideration of a question that if not now, will be in the future, of vast interest to the people.
 He remarked that the growing and stupendous commerce of the world would in time, a decade or a generation hence, involve another canal to suppfy It's needs, and If America made mistake now other great and powerful nations would take advantage of 1t hereafter.
 If Senator Morgan adheres to his inten- ticn an extra session of the senate will become absolutely necessary. This was recognized at the White House l this afternoon in a consultation there between the President and several promi- nent senator's and in the decision of the republican caucus to hold continuous ses- sions on the treaty in the hope of forc- inE a vote
