THE HOUSE.

Washington. Feb. H.-The House has the House naval bill under debate and at the proper time 1t is probable that rule will be brought In making the item in the bill providing for a training station on the Great Lakes in order.
 It is expected that a contest will ensue over the location of the station. Notice has been given by 1Tr. Hitchcock (Neb.) that he will propose an amenment to the naval bill providing for the construction of a Government armor plate factory.
 The Indian and the District appropria- ton bills will follow the naval bill. and there Is some expectation that all of them will be passed this week by the House.
 At the first Hull during the week the bill providing for a committee to investi- gate and report on the shipping industry may be called up under a rule limiting de- bate to a few hours.
 Following the Indian and District bills will come the Postoffice appropriation bill. but 1t may not be ready for consid eration before next week. If the appro- priation bills are out of the way by Fri day, the private claims or pensions may have Q show.

TWO ARE ASPHYXIATED
ONE BURNED TO DEATH AND
 SEVERAL INQUIRED.
Explosion of Blast Furnace Gas at Plant of the Lackawvnna Steel Company at Buff
 falo, N Y.

Buffalo. N. Y, Feb. 1.-Two men were asphyxiated, one burned to death and sev- eral were seriously injured in an expIo- sion of blast furnace gas at the plant of the Lackawanna Steel Company today.
 The dead men are: George Reynolds, a mason: Michael s. Smith, mason; Frank Prenatt. employed in the power house.
 The explosion occurred near power house No. 2, where a large reservoir is situated. The reservoir Is a tube 100 feet long and about ten feet in diameter and was stored with gas to be used as motive power for large blower engine.
 Smith and Reynolds were working In the reservoir behind bulkhead today. A piece of the bulkhead was removed in the course of separations. A valve which the men thought had been closed allowed gas to flow into the tank. They tried to es- cape, but were overcome before they could reach the exit. A torch used by the men was left behind and when the gas reached 1t a terrific explosion occurred.
 Frank Prenatt and the other mon were trying to remove one of the unconscious men when the explosion occurred. All of them were hurled into the air. Prena;t died in few minutes. Alexander San ders was terribly burned and he may die

VOTE ON THE TREATY
TUESDAY NEXT THE BALLoTING
 WILL BEGIN.
MT. Morgan Has Some Amendments to Offer, All of Which Will Be Voted Down by the
 Senate.

Washington, Feb. M.-The Panama canal question will continue to hold ex- elusive attention of the Senate until next Tuesday, when voting will begin on the treaty,
 It is probable that the doors of the Senate chamber will be closed the greater part of the time the treaty Is under eon- sideration Monday and Tuesday.
 Senator Morgan has prepared a num- Der of amendments and, if offered, they will be considered in executive session.
 Mr.. Morgan probably will speak on some of his amendments, but the pres pect is that very few other Senators will desire to further speak on the treaty or amendment to 1t. All amendments will be voted down. There will be only six teen or seventeen votes or pairs against the ratification Of the convention. Sena- toI Hoar probably win make another speech before the vote Is taken.
 With the Pahama question disposed of, the Senate will take up appropriation bills. giving precedence to the agricul- tural bill. There are features In this bill which will arouse opposition and 1t is expected that 1t will be debated at some length, By the time the agricultural bill shall be passed the legislative, execu- tive and Judicial bill will have been re- ported to be followed by the naval. pen sion and army bills.
 Monday being Washington's birthday the Senate will listen to the reading of Washington's farewell address by Sena- tor Hepburn of Idaho.

 A big force of men is at work on the damaged vessels in the Port Arthur har- bor, and efforts are being made to raise the battleship Retvizan.

HIS TRIP NOT IN VAIN
SKINNER'S MISSION PROVES
 MOST SUCCESSFUL.
United States Consul at Marseillel Tells of His Visit to Abyssinia in a Manner Most
 Modest.

Washington, Feb 2l.-How the United States has come into trade relations with a new region containing ten millions peo- pie is briefly and modestly told in the report MT. Loomis, the assistant sec retary of state, of Robert P. Skinner, the American consul general at Marseilles. France, on his highly successful mission to Abyssinia last November for the pur- pose of negotiating with King Menelik a trade treaty and to collect information about the commercial resources of that country. As a result of this mission, MT. Skinner negotiated a treaty which, if ac- ceptable, will secure for the United States the most favored national privileges in Ethiopia and will guarantee to American citizens and merchandise immunity from discrimination fin rates on all public roads and lines of communication.
 In addition MT. Skinner prevailed upon King Menelik to accept an invitation for his country to participate in the St. Louis exposition and preliminary arrangements for a comprehensive exhibit at St. Louis have been made. The King will send during the coming summer, a commission of distinguished and representative men who will have charge of the exhibit.
 Mir. Skinner after narrating these facts says:
 Acting on behalf of the Agricultural Department, I have secured a collection of the seeds of the more important crops peculiar to Ethiopia, a number of which may be found valuable in the exploita- ton of the uncultivated western lands of the United States now being made available by the extension of our irriga- ton system. have also in hand ma- terial for a report on the agricultural re- sources of Abyssinia. The Agricultural Department particularly desired to se- cure a collection of wild coffee seeds for experimental purposes. These could not be obtained during my visit but have been ordered and ultimately will be for warded. The experiments of the Agri- cultural Department have theory that coffee culture has been based on seed originally imported from Arabia, and that by getting back to the wild coffee plant, Kaffa, a new variety may be created the value of which will be incalcuIabIe.' ''
 Mir. Skinner records in detail his expe- dition to Abyssfnia from the time he left New York on October 8, to the day on which he set sail on January 15 He calls attention to the prompt facilities which the French government offered for the progress of the expedition across French territory.
 Mir. Skinner gives this picturesque de- scription of his reception by the Emperor:
 Two hours after camping. accompani- | ed by M Chefneux Counsellor of State) the mission set out A6r the seat of gov ernment, accompanied by an Ethiopian guard of three thousand men under the | command of a distinguished general.

Ii had been i'm tended to take the vessel to Constanti- nopIe and deliver her there to the Turk ish naval authorities, but a change in flig plan was found necessary and the ship will be put in commission and unfsarl her flag at this port.
 Captain Ransford B. Buclsham, of Cramps ship yard, who will take the cruiser across. has been commissioned a captain in the Ottoman navy and win put her in commission It will also be necea- sary to commission the other oficera
 The Mejedia will leave port fully ready for a naval engagement. Her guns, an of the latest pattern in use in the United States navy, were made in Bethlehem, Pa. All are practically in place. The magazines are to be filled with ammunf~ tion as if for war cruise.
 A ssoon as the cruiser reaches the sea. the trial of her guns win be begun This will be made particularly thorough In view of the haste with which the builders have been charged to deliver the ship, only two stops will be made on the long run to Constantinople. The trip win re. quire about twenty days. and 1t may be that final test will be made somewhere of the island of Crete.
 The exact cause of the hurry orders has not been explained.

If War Lasts Two Years or More, St. Petersburg May Have to Go Out of Empire
 for Sinews.

London, Feb. 2t.-The question as to how long Russia will be able to bear the financial strain caused by the war with out having recourse to a foreign loan ex- erts great influence In the money mar kets.
 It is the general belief that owing to economic conditions resulting from bad harvests and other causes 1t will be dlf- icult for Russia to raise internal loans and that 4f the war lasts beyond a couple of years. that country will be bound to raise money abroad.
 The stock exchange experienced a very depressed and nervous week, due largely to the fears of trouble in the Balkans. Rumors of the illness of Emporer Will liam as we'll as the war in the Far East has also exerted a considerable influence in causing this depression.
 Foreign stocks of all classes were al- most demoralized, quantities of them be- ing thrown upon the market from both Paris and Berlin where operators ware overloaded by recent heavy purchases made under the belief that peace in the Far East would be maintained.

THIS TRUST MAY BURST.
Mexican Company Fails to Corner Sugar.

Mexico City. Feb A.-The sugar trust, organized here year ago and comprising in its membership the largest planters In the various States, has failed to corner the sugar product successfully and finds itself with liabilities of $7.200O0O and with assets. taken on a liberal estimate, of $z,77O,0OO.
 These assets include the stock of sugar on hand. The supply of sugar in this country is already far in excess of the de- mand and the new crop Is coming to the market. These facts give rise to the fear that the assets are not what might be hoped.
 It has been feared that the trust would smash, but three very wealthy members of the combine have come forward as personal guaranties of the liabilities, So 1t has turned out that the courts will not be called on to wind up the trust which owes the banks nearly $2,00O,0Oo One of the causes of this failure to control sugar prices Is said to be the American-Cuban reciprocity treaty which demoralizedd To- cal prices. The trust aimed to keep price up in this country and to regulate export prices for surplus sugar.

THIRST FOR BLOODOF BEAR

Tolxio, Feb M.-The reports in various quarters saying that Admiral Togo's fieet was partly crippled in the operations al Port Arthur are unfounded.
 1t has been unnecessary to send sin gle large ship to Sasebo for repairs. Twt torpedo destroyers have been damaged but not in fighting. The Akenbo, In at tempting to coal from a collier during e storm, collided with the oboro. disabling her machinery. Both were sent to Sase. bo to be repaired. and they will be ready for service soon.
 The armored cruiser Chiyoda has beer docked at Sasebo and cleaned. She had been in the water for months, and heI bottom was so foul that her speed was impaired.
 Accident to Shil<ishima.
 The battleship Shikishima, which wal injured on the eve of the war, was re- paired in time to participate in Admiral Togo's attack on Port Arthur, February 9. she was returning to Sasebo after the naval maneuvers, and while changing heI berth, struck bottom. Her accident wal first regarded as serious, and 1t was thought that Japan would have to defer war until the Sh1kishima had been repair. ed, owing to the then evenly balanced strength of Japan and Russia when uOcKed, IL was 1Oun0 that the damage to the Shikishima was slight. anv repairs were affected after a flaw days The accident was kept secret, and few were informed of 1t. It was generally thought that the Shikishima was still docked at Sasebo and unable to partici- pate in the attack on Port Arthur. Anxious to Fight. Admiral Togos men were eager to fight and the men of the torpedo squadron who were sent to reconnoiter at, Dalny on the night of February 8, were bitterly disap- pointed that they missed the Port Ar thur fight. and they have almost demand ed of Admiral Togo that he permit then to engage ths enemy at the next oppor. tunity.
 Captain Fakenouchl. former naval at tache at Paris has been appointed tS command the Nishin. and Captain Oin ouyu, late chief of stan of the Kure navy yard, has been appointed to command ths Kasuga, the two cruisers which were pur. chased from the Argentine republic The Kasuga has gone to Kure to outfit. She will be ready for sea in two weeks. The Nishin Is outfltting at Yokohama, ant will be ready in three weeks.
 The Russian VladIvostok squadron wal reported to-day on the west coast of the Island of Hokkido, attempting to cut the cables. Tie navy department, however discredits the repof, and believes that the squadron Is still at Vladivostok.
