The majority of flowers have no

HOLDS UP GAMBLERS
Tall Man Behind Mask Makes
Another Haul.

The tall man with mask who drops
in at clubs and relieves card players of
what cash they happen to have, has
turned up again. Shortly before mid
night he called at the Hoffman club,
No. Eastman block, Minneapolis. He
showed big forty-four in the face of
the colored man who answered his ring,
and stepped in, closing the door behind
him. There was no one in the first two
rooms he came to, but in third was
party of four playing bridge whist,
with a fifth man looking on.
Throw up your hands, gentlemen"
he ordered, exhibiting his revolver.
The card players, who at first thought
it might be well known member of
the club playing practical joke, COM
piled. Then the robber took each sin
gly, standing behind him and searching
his pockets with his left hand while in
his right he held his revolver so that
he covered the man he was searching
as well as the other members of the
party. He got $66 all told, and then
remarked: This is pretty small for
man in such hazardous business. l
know the risk I'm taking and will shoot
myself before can be taken''
The fellow was greatly excited His
hand that held the revolver trembled
and his voice was husky. He evidently
did not know the arrangement of the
rooms of which there were four and
wanted to get away. A sixth man, who
was in room No. 4, saw what was going
on. He procured a revolver, and his
first thought was to get to the hallway
and shoot the robber as he went down
stairs. Just as he got to the door he
heard the robber say only $685." and
returned the weapon to his pocket.
That's too small an amount to kill a
man for" was the way he figured
The robber heard him go out of the
door and rushed after him, passing
him on the stairway and fairly flying
down stairs. He pulled the mask from
his face as he gained the street and
shot up the alley at the side of the
Burlington ticket Office. He met a
night watchman who saw him throw
something away. The watchman, with
out stopping the man, picked up the
article and went to the street to ex-
anime it by the electric light. When
he discovered that 1T was a cloth mask,
made 20 cover the entire face, he took
1T to police headquarters
The description Of the robber tallies
quite closely with that of the visitor to
the Metropole club, on Third street
south, who, on two occasions, stood off
a roomful Of sports and robbed them
of their loose change. He was tall and
slim of figure and wore a long, dark
colored overcoat.

TREATY RATIFIED, WORK
ON CANAL BEGINS SOON
Senate Approves the Measure, 66 to 14-President
Wrote Albert Shaw He Hoped There Would Be a
RevoIution-Senator Kittredge Introduces Bill for
the Government of the Canal Territory.

soon as NJ. Bunau-Varilla, the minister
from Panama, has made the ratifica-
tion of treaty, he will lay down his
mission. His successor as minister here
will be Pablo Arosemena, the present
head of the constitutional commission
and father of the secretary of the Pan
anna legation here.
The administration intends to press
the canal project. AS a cabinet officer
expressed it, the next step after the ap-
pointment of the commission will be
Ito scratch dirt" and already such
members of the commission as are as
sured of their places, like Admiral
Walker and Maj. Gen. Davis, have been
giving some attention to the prepara-
ton of the clerical force and the en-
gaging of engineering talent to conduct
the actual work of canal digging.
The war department has in the past
strenuously denied reports that 1T in
tended to send troops to the isthmus,
but it is now explained that statement
only applied to the conditions as they
existed before the United States ac-
quired vested rights through the ac-
QUESTION of the canal zone by the rat
ification of the treaty. The Third reg
iment takes the place of the 1000 ma
rines there, most of whom will be sent
to the Philippines.
Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota,
member Of the interoceanic canal
committee, after the ratification Of the
treaty. introduced a bill to provide for
the temporary government of the Pan
anna territory and the protection Of
canal works and other purposes con-
nected with the construction Of the bill.
The first section creates "the Pan
anna board of governors consisting Of
.{As
all of whom shall be of the same po-
litical party, to be appointed by the
president and. confirmed by the senate.
Until congress shall otherwise provide,
according to the section, the legislative.
administrative and executive powers
possessed by congress and the powers
of the United States on the isthmus
shall include the power to raise reve-
nue.. None of the taxes levied and
collected shall be converted into the
treasury of the United States, but shall
be retained and disbursed by the board
for proper purposes.
Senator Kittredge says some modi-
6cation of the provision for the board
of governors may be necessary when
the duties of the isthmian canal COM
mission shall have been determined. If
the Commission is to have charge Of the
work of constructing the canal and is
to be sometimes on the isthmus and
sometimes In the United States, the
board will be necessary, but in case it
shall be determined that a sufficient
number of commissioners shall be res
idents of the canal strip to constitute
a government, the board of governors
may be dispensed with and the duties
Of the board devolved upon the COM
mission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 23.-The
senate today ratified without amend
ment the treaty with Panama for a
canal across the isthmus by a vote of
66 to IA. The result was foregone
conclusion, the interest in the matter
being only in the division of the vote
on the Democratic side which was not
known definitely until the roll was
called, all the Republicans being for
ratification.
Fourteen Democrats voted for rati-
fication and fourteen against. Two
Democrats, Clarke, of Montana, and
Stone of Missouri, were paired in fa-
vor of the treaty, and three Democrats,
Overman, McLaurin and Martin, were
paired against it, so in the total vote
16 Democrats were for the treaty and
IL against it. The Democrats who
We're present and voted for the treaty
were: Bacon, Berry, Clarke (Ark.),
Clay, Cockrell, Foster Oa.), Gibson,
Latimer McCreary, McEnery, Mallory,
Money, Simmons and Taliaferro. The
fourteen Democrats who voted against
the treaty were: Bailey, Bate, Black
burn, Carmack, Culberson, Daniel, Du
boiS, German, Morgan, NeWlands, Pat
terson, Pettus, Teller and Tillman.
Bacon Amendment Defeated.
The only other vote was on the
amendment offered by Senator Bacon,
providing for an arrangement to COM
pensate Colombia for loss of the terri
tory Of Panama. This was rejected by
a vote Of "a to 40. 1t was a party vote
on the affirmative side and also on the
negative side, with the exception of
Mr.. Gibson and Mr. McEnery, Demo-
vvh x1yffI 6o
Four Democrats were absent when this
vote was taken and no pairs were an
nounced for them. Some Republicans
also were absent on this vote.
The debate in executive session was
generally on the merits of the treaty
with reference to the secret papers
which were sent to the senate by the
president. Senator Morgan made a set
speech which occupied the greater part
of the time. Senator Culberson made
comments on the secret correspond
ence and asserted that it showed that
the reasonable time" referred to in the
Spooner act was known to have ex-
pired, both for negotiating the Hay
Herran treaty and it's ratification. Sem
ator Culberson read from a letter ad-
dressed to DR.. Albert Shaw by the
president, dated Oct. 10, 1903, in which
the president said he saw no hope for
any negotiation with Colombia and that
he would be delighted should a revolu-
tion occur on the isthmus.
Consummation to Be Speedy.
Everything is ready for the speedy
consummation of the treaty, and both
the war and state departments have
made preparations for the next step,
the former by the dispatch of troops
(the Third regiment) to the isthmus
today, and the latter by the completion
of arrangements for the exchange of
ratifications of the treaty, which must
take place in Washington. There is no
reason why this ceremony should not
occur within forty -eight hours. AS
