BY VOTE OF &C TO IA.
Panama Canal Agreement Rati-
fled by the Senate.
All of the Negative Votes Cast by Dem-
ocrats-An Amendment TO Com.
pensate Colombia for Loss
of Panama Territory
Voted Down.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The United
States senate yesterday ratified with
out amendment the treaty with Pan
ANA for a canal across the isthmus
of that name, by vote of &c 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 II against. Two demo-
,crats, Clark of Montana, and Stone of
Missouri, were paired in favor of the
treaty and three democrats, Over
man, McLaurin and Martin, were
paired against it, so in the total vote
16 democrats were for the treaty and
II against it.
The only other vote was on the
amendment offered by Senator
Bacon, providing for an arrangement
to compensate Colombia for loss of
the territory 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, democrats, who voted with
the republicans.
Senator's generally commend the
management of the treaty by Sena-
tor Cullom. chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, who has had
charge of the measure. The vote was
taken much earlier than was antici-
pated at first, when its opponents
were vigorously trying to secure
enough votes to prevent ratification.
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 speech which occupied the
greater part of the time.
Senator Culberson made comments
on the secret correspondence and as
serted that it showed that the "rea-
.Sonable time" referred to in the
Spooner act was known to have eX-
pired, both for negotiating the Hay
Herran treaty and its ratification.
Senator CulbersOn also read from a
letter addressed to DR.. Albert Shaw
Dy the president. dated October 10,
liD1, III "nltH tle pIeSldtHl Sdlt hC
saw no hope for any negotiation
with Colombia and that he would be
delighted should a revolution occur
on the isthmus.

Kittredge, of South Dakota, Il MEM
Der of the inter-oceanic canal COM
mittee, Immediately after the ratifi-
cation of the canal treaty yesterday
introduced bill to provide for the
temporary government of the Pana-
ma canal territory and the protection
of the canal works and for other pur-
poses connected with the construc-
ton of the canal.
The first section creates "The Pan

of three citizens of the United States,
not all of whom shall be of the same
political party, to be appointed by

RENDERS VERDICT.
Machen, L0renZ and the GrOtfs
Found Guilty.
Jury Was Ont Nine Hours In the POST
Office Conspiracy Trial-MOtiOn
for Al New Trial Was Made
and Defendants Re
leased on Ball.

Washington, Feb. 27.-"Guilty as
indicted" was the verdict announced
by Carl Peterson, the foreman of the
jury in the famous postotiice con-
spiracy trial shortly after $ o'clock
last night, stating at the same time
that this was the verdict as to all
four defendants, August w. Machen,
date general superintendent of the
rural free delivery division; George
+. Lorenz, of Toledo, and Samuel
and Diller Croft. The jury had been
out nine hours, although the verdict
was reached in eight hours and 20
minutes. Justice Pritchard had gone
to his home, there to await any sum-
mons from the jury and when at
1925 O'Clock the jury announced to
the deputy marshal outside the jury
room that a verdict had been reached
the Justice was sent for and arrived
at the court house shortly before 3
o'clock.
In the dimly lighted room sat the
four defendants, who after the case
was given to the jury had been placed
in the custody of the United States
marshal and confined to the limits OF
look and deathlike silence fell upon
the small crowd which had been per-
mitted to enter the room as the clerk
inquired of the foreman if verdict
had been reached. With impressive
! dignity the jury as to man rose and
as the words guilty as indicted" fell
from his lips the defendants and
their counsel seemed appalled,.
Five ballots in all were taken. On
the first ballot the vote stood to D
for conviction, on the second to 4,
on the third Q to 3, on the fourth 10
to > and on the fifth the vote was
unanimous.
Immediately after the verdict was
rendered Charles \. Douglass, in be-
half of all four defendants, filed mo-
tions for a new trial, for an arrest of
Judgment and also for an appeal for
the purpose of having the defendants
admitted to bail. Bail was then fixed
at $4,000 each, the bond of Lorenz
and the two Grotfs being increased
from $4,000 to that sum. Each de-
fendant gave the required bail
The four defendants will appear be-
fore Justice Pritchard today to re-
ceive their sentence,

Rochester, n. ". visited by De-
StructIVe Fire.

Rochester. n. V, Feb. 27.-The sun
set last night with ten engines pour
ing streams of water on the ruins of
what was practically the retail dry
goods district of this city, for three
out of the five department stores
were consumed in Fridays disastrous
fire, one. of which, the Sibley, Lind
say d Curr Co., was by far the largest
esta blishment of this kind in the city
and the oldest.
Insurance men place the loss at
$3,0OO,OOO. OF this amount S750,OO0
represents the loss on buildings, and
the remainder the loss on stocks of
goods and to occupants of offices. 1t
is estimated that $500 people are
thrown out of work, temporarily. at
least, because of the fire.
The burned district lies on the
north side of Main street, between
st. Paul street and Clinton avenue
north, running from st. Paul street
almost the entire length of the
block. The fire started in the store
of the Rochester Dry Goods Co. and
worked west, taking but one store
east of this establishment,
Next west was the store of the
Beadle d. Sherburne Co., which was
destroyed, then the Marble block oc-
cupied by the Sibley, Lindsay q Curr
Co., also destroyed, and finally the 13-
story Granite building, the lower
part of which also was occupied by
the Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Co. and
the upper part by offices. Only the
front wall of the Marble building is

warrios. After that a series of strong
shoguns held sway over the land.
In 1545 the Portuguese navigator Men
dez Pinto, with lot of followers, land
ed and soon established himself. He
was followed by the Jesuit missionary.
St. Francis Xavier, who made rapid
progress, the initiative Japs taking
readily to the new visitors and new GUS
toms. But the visitors were too free,
and were ordered away in 1897. BY 1893,
after terrible persecution, Christianity
was eXtirpated and all foreigners were
kept away except the Chinese and Dutch
traders. This expulsion was accom-
plished by the Tokugawa shoguns, who
introduced a horrible system Of espion
age, which has left its mark until the
present day in the shape of dishonesty
and lack of civic courage.
When Commodore Perry knocked a
the door of Japan in 1854, the shogun
rule and the last phase of medievalism
fell before modern civilization. That
date, when the treaty of the United
States was signed, March 81, 1854, was
the birth of modern Japan. Yokohama,
Nagasaki and Hakodate were opened to
trade in 1859, and the next year we sent
a minister to the court of the mikado.
The daimios, or military leaders,
were a long time in accepting the
changed conditions, and there were
own legation was attacked in 1861, and
an Interpreter killed, and the legation
was burned in 1868. Reprisals and puni
tive expeditions followed for several
years, and it was 1868 before order came
about after the young mikado had over
thrown the military rulers. The first
year of enlightened rule really was 1868,
when the mikado moved to Tedo,
changed it's name to Toxic and made it
the capital of the empire. He soon abol-
ished the feudal system and began to
copy the ideas of the western ciyiliza-
tion. The first newspaper appeared in
1870, and the first railway was opened
two years later. History moved rap
idly after that, and the country was
opened to foreigners generally. The
edict against Christians was removed
and missionaries welcomed. A consti.
tuition granted to the people went into
effect in 1889. Japan declared war on
China on February IL. 1895, which last
ed less than year. After the treaty OF
peace, Russia stepped in and robbed
Japan of all the fruits of victory except
the island of FOrmOsa ana the retention
of the captured Chinese navy.

THE STORY OF JAPAN
1t Reads Like a Chapter from q
Work of Fiction.
Nation Was Deep in Oriental SIumbeP
Until Our Navy Woke 1t Up
Great Progress Made in
Half u Century.

Orig nally the islands that made up
Dal Nppin, or Great Japan, were peo-
pied by a Caucasian race, who occupy
in japanese history position similar
to the early Britons in English history.
These people, now represented by the
hairy Anus of northern Yeddo, were
vennorthward by the swarm of Mon
golians, who swept across Corea from
northern China. The first great leader
known was Jimmu Tenno, who founded
his dynasty about go B. G. He is del
fed as the descendant of Amaterasu,
Goddess of the Sun. Another string of
Mongolics came from the Malaysia by
way Of the string of islands. To this
southern strain is probably due the mer-
curial temperament of the Japs. Super
tlciall! the Japs seem to resemble the
Chinese, but close examination proves
that the race has been evolved inde-
pendeltly. They, however, absorbed
the earlier Chinese civilization.
The history of the succeeding CEN
turies is vague until about 200 A. D.,
when an amazonian empress by the ap-
propr.ate name of lingo captured Corea.
This campaign was a big thing for
Japan in more ways than one. The vas
sails brought with their tributes the
knowledge of writing, the civilization OF
China, the mulberry and the silk worm.
The art OF spinning and weaving fol-
lowed, and in the year $50 the first image
Of Buddha appeared. In the succeeding
century there was a perfect rage-like
that now for western ideas-for the civ
ilization of China. Arts, customs and
opinions-whether of society, morals or
politics-were assimilated with the
greatest ardor. Buddhism made rapid
progress. Feudalism was instituted and
great offices were made hereditary and
the shogun of Yeddo (shO-general, gun
army became of greater power than the
mikado In the fifteenth century the
mikado and shogun got to fighting, and
both were whipped by the samurai, or

CONFESSED PERJURY.
a kentUckian Makes n Sensational
Statement In Court.

Cynthiana, Ky, Feb. 24.-There was
a sensation in the court house Tues
day afternoon when \. c. Adams
pleaded guilty to perjury and was
given the minimum sentence of one
year. Adams was one of the prin-
cipal witnesses for the defense at the
trial here last September of Curtis
-Jett and Thomas White, convicted of
killing j. b. Marcum and James
Cockrill at Jackson, Ky. Adams was
allowed to address the jury.
In making his concession in the
open court room he said he had per-
.jured himself on account of fear of
being killed in Breathtt county after
ward if he testified to what he knew.
He said that county officers and
Others had told him that he must aid
.Jett in proving an alibi, or he and his
family would suffer. He addressed
the jury - minutes, reciting the lam
guage used to him by prominent peo-
pie at Jackson and the threats that
were made before he testified. Coun-
ty Attorney Webster pleaded with
the jury for mercy, and the jury
promptly returned verdict with the
minimum sentence of one year.
