Mr.. SINNERS party arrived here Sat
urday on board the steamer Victoria
The American marines and blue lack
cts who accompanied the expedition
were left at Alden, and went on to ioir
the American gunboat Machias.
Consul Skinner and the other mem
bers of the party are in good health
and they speak enthusiastically of the
reception accorded them by King Men
/ elk. On the way to the coast. the
party saw one elephant and heard a
number of lions, but experienced nc
! exciting adventures. In the course OF
an interview Mr.. Skinner said: pres
! 1dent Roosevelt selected a most oppor-
tune time for establishing relations
with Ethiopia, as Americans hereto
fore have been too Indifferent to the
remarkable development which is now
going on in Abyssinia Our cotton
goods pass through many hands before
sold at high prices in Abyssinia, but
now Americans have an opportunity
to conduct their own trade. King
Menelik will send some of the products
OF his country to the St. Louis exposi-
ton, as well as a commission com
posed Of able men to show the Ameri-
cans commercial, opportunities in
Abyssinia. The king is a broad-mind-
ed statesman who will welcome Amer
icans''
During the visit of the Skinner party
ut the capital, King Menelik received
them surrounded by an imposing as
semblage of 1000 functionaries. The
escort of American marines establish
ed a camp called camp Roosevelt
which attracted a great deal of in
terest
The king made a personal inspection
of the camp which lasted for three
hours, and after having witnessed the
maneuvers of the marines, he asked
one of the men for his gun and loaded
and fired it. This act on the part of
the king pleased the visitors greatly.
The Americans were impressed with
the assimilative ability of the Abys-
s1nians, and that new roads, bridges,
water supplies, telephones and teIe-
graph lines are being constructed. He
considers the Abyssinians to be the
Japanese" of Africa. He points out.
however, that the postal and banking
systems are defective and unsatfsfac-
tory. The money is on a silver basis. |
Consul Skinner believes that Ameri-
cans will find large field for activity
in the gold, coal, petroleum and as
phalt possibilities of Abyssinia.
An official report of the result of the |
mission has been forwarded to Wash |
Ington.

LOOKS LIKE CONSPIRACY
1t Is Claimed That Chicago Is Being
Systematically Held Up.

Chicago, Feb. Personal injury
suits amounting to S38, 666952 are
pending against the city of Chicago.
according to the report of City Attor-
ney John F.. Smulski. The council.
the legislature and finally the people
are appealed to for relief Sidewalk
injuries caused the majority of the
suits. Mr.. Smulski in his report
shows that the interests combining to
loot the city in this way amount prac-
tically to an organization. Names OF
lawyers, mostly young men and doc
tors, occur with great frequency in the
list of suits. The city attorney saws
the piling up of suits will inevitably
continue for some years, even should
the city at once begin to tear up every
wooden sidewalk.
The city attorney says the main
cause OF this condition is the deplora-
bic state of the city's finances, which
makes it impossible to care properly
for it's streets and sidewalks The
remedy, he says, is a new city charter
The many judgments awarded against
the city are pointed out and Attorney
Smulski says that unless favorable ac-
ton is taken in regard to a new char.
ter, inevitable bankruptcy will result.

Panama Question the Center
of Interest on Senate
Stage.
MINORITY Is LEARNING
Democrats in the Upper House Will
Not Obstruct the Vote on the
Isthmian Treaty.
Mar. Fairbanks is Down for a Set
Speech on the Subject for
This Week.

Washington, Feb 1.-The senate
this week will continue to discuss the
Panama question. Speeches will be
made by Senator Fairbanks (Rep.) and
Senators Clarke (Ark.) and Clay
(Dem) all in support of the treaty
There also viii be other speeches, but
temporary cessation may be expect
ed later in the week as there is a
disposition on the part of many Demo
cratic senators to postpone further
discussion of the question until re-
sponses to the resolutions of inquiry
shall be received from the executive.
The Democrats, however, have given
assurance to the Republican leaders
that they will not seek delay merely
for the purpose of postponing vote
on the treaty which they will permit
as soon as legitimate debate shall be
exhausted.
the present plan is to continue the
discussion in open session but if it
becomes apparent that more can be
accomplished by closing the doors ex-
ecutive sessions will be ordered. 1t
is now certain the solid vote of the
Republican side of the chamber in fav-
or of the treaty will be augmented by
many Democratic votes. The sugges.
ton was Llade in the Democratic eau
Gus Saturday that the entire Democrat
1c vote should be pledged in case as
surance is given of concessions to
Colombia, but it was not acted on.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill will be reported during the week
and will receive attention if the Pana-
ma question shall be side-tracked to
meet the requests of the Democrats
for delay to digest the new informa-
ton they hope to receive on the revolt.
The canal question viii be kept to the |
front as much IS possible even to the |
exclusion Of appropriation bills.
