BILE Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Unit
ed States senate has ratified without
amendment the treaty with Panama
for a canal across the isthmus of that
name by a vote of GO 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 ratifl-
cation and fourteen against. Two
Democrats, Clark ef Montana and
Stone of Missouri, were paired in IA
vor Of the treaty, and three Demo
crats-Overman McIaurin and Martin
were paired against it, so in the total
vote sixteen Democrats were for the
treaty and seventeen against it. The
Democrats who were present and vot-
ed for the treaty were Bacon, Berry.
Clarke of Arkansas, Clay, Cockren.
Foster of Louisiana, Gibson, Latlmer,
McCreary, McEnery, Mallory, Sim
mons and Taliaferro.
The only other vote was on the
amendment offered by Senator Bacon
providing for an arrangement to COM
pensste Colombia for loss of the terri
tory of Panama. This was rejected by.
a vote of "a to 40. Ii was a party vote
on the affirmative side and also on the
negative side. with the exception of
- - NTaTT,.rv.
Gratis, who voted with the Republicans.
Four Democrats were absent when
this vote was taken, and no pairs were
announced for them. Some Republic
ans also were absent on this vote.
The building Of this great interoce-
anic waterway by the United States is
at last assured. II will change the
commercial map Of the world, and it is
a present which this government in
tends to make to all the nations of the
world.
The administration intends to press
the canal project by all proper meth
DDS. AS a cabinet officer expressed it,
the next step after the appointment
of the commission will be ''to scratch
dirt" and already such members Of
the commission as are assured of their
places, like Admiral Walker and Ma
jor General Davis, have been giving
some attention TO the provision of the
CLERICAL force and the engagement OF
engineering talent TO conduct the actu-
al work Of canal digging.
Senator Kittredge Is. d., member
OF the interoceanic canal committee,
Immediately after the ratification Of
the canal treaty introduced bill to
provide for the temporary government
Of the Panama canal territory and the
protection Of the canal works and for
other purposes connected with the CON

AMERICANS
DRIVEN OUT
OF CANADA

ST. Paul. Aug. l.-American civil engf-
neers are being driven from the Domin-
ion Of Canada by the enforcement OF
the Alien Labor law. One Of the best
known Western engineers. who has been
employed on the Canadian Northern rail-
road. arrived from Manitoba last night,
having been arrested at the point OF the
revolver by mounted police and ordered
10 leave the Dominion
His name Is withheld, for the reason
that he has taken steps TO interest the
United States government in his case, as
we'll as that OF others who have been
driven over the border during the past
week. The engineer tells OF his deporta-
tion thus:
Last Tuesday about noon was in
epectlng the work the men under me We're
doing. when a man rode up on horseback.
I thought he was a tramp, for he was
roughly dressed and unshaven. He RODE
10 where | was standing and said: is
your name so and soH' replied. Yes. Are
you looking for a jobT He said, No. L
want you
He went on TO say that they wanted
me in Winnipeg. asked him II any OF
nv family was I'll, and he said he guessed
not.
II then asked IL he had message from
the general superintendent, and he said
no. lie insisted that I was wanted IN
Winnipeg, told him they would have
good time getting me there until 1 got
orders from headquarters 10 report.
AT that he pulled out big gun ana
showed me a star and said he guessed l
would go along Well. he was bigger
man than I am. so told him TO put up his
gun. / then climbed on TO the dummy and
had the engineer run US In TO the next
station, where we took the train Tor
Winnipeg.
HE told me on the way in that would
have to leave the country. He said that
there were too many Americans there
now holding good jobs that belonged 70
Canadians and that we would all have 10
go.
"The simple fact OF the matter Is that
the average run OF American engineers Is
far superior 10 the Canadians and the lat.
ter know IT, The contractors there are all
anxious 10 get Americans and there are
hundreds Of them IN Canada at present
but they are being forced out OF the
country right along"
