Bitser-AppeaI for Union.
Cape Town, Feb. 1S.-Colonial secre-
tary Chamberlain and his party arrived
here this morning, and met with
hearty reception from crowd of about
10000 persons awaiting them in Green
Market Square. A number of address,
es were presented to Mr.. Chamberlain.
During the reading of one of these
Prime Minister Sprigg arrived on the
platform, and was hooted with much
vigor.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in the course of
his speech, made powerful appeal for
the union of the races. He admitted,
however, that since his arrival in Cape
Colony he had become less hopeful of
immediate satisfactory results from his
visit, as he found that the antagonism
70 the two races had become chronic.
Rebellion was exalted into heroism
and loyalty was discountenanced and
ostracized, even the pulpit Joining in
the propaganda tending to intensity
the separation of the races.
On leaving the platform Premier
Sprigg was again made the subject of
a hostile demonstra tion.

NOTIFICATION TO THE PORTE.
sigmntory Powers VIII Each Hand In
-sfs- Note.


Vienna, Feb. 1S.---It is semi officially
stated that the mode of procedure in
informing the Porte of the intention
of the signatory powers with regard to
reforms in Macedonia will be the pre-
sentation of note by each ambassador
to the Porte. The notes if not identical
In terms will be so in effect. They will
state that the powers join in the Rus
so-Austrian proposals.
In explanation of the somewhat sud-
den change in the attitude of the Bull
garian government it is reported that
Russia has replied to the Bulgarian
note protesting against Turkeys mo-
bilization, saying that Russia cannot
intervene at Constantinople, more par
ticularly as the Porte is only following
Russias advice to prepare for every
eventuality. This reply, it is asserted,
was a decided shock to Bulgaria and
considerably modified her views as to
a possible conflict.
Berlin, Feb. 1S-It was semi officially
announced to-day that Germany had
instructed her ambassador at Constan-
tinople to endeavor to persuade the
Porte to execute the Austro- Russian
programme of reforms proposed for
Macedonia.

OPENING UP TROLLEY LINES
VIGOROUS EFFORTS OF THE FAIR
HAVEN ROAD.

Three Hundred Extra Hen at Work
Fed by the ComPany-City Searched
for Laborers-Extra Pay Ofered-Un-
usual Difficulties Contended with
Big Stone Left ON Track Puts New
Mammoth PIow Out of Business
Early-An Lines WiI be Open This
Morning.
That the Fair Haven & westville
railroad is making a strenuous effort
to open up traffic on all of it's lines was
apparent last night when over three
hundred extra men were set to work.
All day yesterday Engineer Punder-
ford had men securing the city for la
borers and extra pay was offered to all
men who would work during the night.
In addition to this hot coffee and
lunches were served to the men near
the scene Of their work.

with a particularly stubborn storm is
shown by the fact that the numerous
snow plows of the road were unable to
keepfthe lines open, not because of the
amount of snow but from the condition
in which the sleet storm left the
tracks. With large amount of frozen
slush on the tracks even the plows
were unable to "hold the iron" and con-
sequently this trouble could be over
come only with picks and shovels and
this work, at its best, is slow.
An incident occurred Tuesday night
which throws light on some of the
difficulties with which the road has had
to contend. One hundred and fifty
men cleared Ferry street down as far
as the drawbridge and it was the in
tention to have the East Haven line
open in the morning. AT $3.50, when
the gang reached the bridge, it was
found that the draw was three inches
out of line and as the bridge tender
was not on duty at that time it was
impossible to get the snow plows and
cars over the bridge which were be-
ing used for the purpose of carrying
men and their equipment. Consequent
ly operations in that direction had to
be abandoned for the night.
Another unfortunate incident was in
connection with the big new snow plow
which was called into work for the
first time. 1t was doing first class
work until it met with an accident
which put it out of BUSINESS early in
the night When near Westville 1t
struck big stone, which was careless
ly left on the track, it is supposed, by
someone who had been making repairs
on the street cross walk. The big ma
chine then had to be taken care of it,
self.
At midnight last night all the trolley
tracks of the Fair Haven and Westville
railroad were clear of snow and ready
| for traffic, except two outlying districts
One of these is on the Dixwell avenue
line from Munson's Corner to Blake's
Corner. The other is on the Shelton
avenue line from Munson street to the
extreme end of that line. These will
undoubtedly be opened early this MORN
ing.

Senator Ccliom Will Ask That the
Session be Continued Into the Night
Until Final Action Is Taken-Morgan's
Resolution against Colombian Cow
eminent Dafeated by Vote of 80 to I3
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The senate
spent three and half hours in execu-
tive session to-day listening nearly all
the time to a continuation of Senator
Morgan's speech ON the Panama canal
treaty. At the close of the days ses-
sion a vote was taken at Senator Nor
gan's request on his resolution request
ing an inquiry into the credentials Of
Tomas Herran, who represented the
Colombian government in negotiating
the treaty, and also suggesting the ir-
regularity Of the Colombian govern
ment. The resolution was defeated, 13
to 80. There were two calls for quo
rum during the session, but senator's
responded readily, showing that while
they were not present in the senate
chamber, many of them were in the
nearby committee rooms. Senator
Morgan spoke principally on this reso-
luton and had the clerk read long re-
port on it which he had prepared and
had printed as minority Of the COM
mittee on interoceanic canals.
After the vote was taken on the reso-
luton Senator Cullom moved that the
senate adjourn to meet at II o'clock,
saying that he would ask that the ses-
sions be continued into the night and
until vote was taken on the treaty.
