PRESIDENT HOLDS
BACK THE TREATIES

Washington, Feb. 13.-President
Roosevelt will not present the ar
bitration treaties, as amended by
the senate, to the countries with
which they were negotiated. Secre-
tary Hay makes the following
statement:
1.-The president regards the mat
ter of the general arbitration Irea-
ties as concluded by the action of
the senate on Saturday. He rec
ognizes the right of the senate to
reject treaty, either by direct
vote in that sense, or Indirectly
by changes which are incompatible
with it's spirit and purpose. He
considers that, with the senate
amendment, the treaties not only
cease to be step forward in the
cause of general arbitration, but
are really step backward, and,
therefore, he is unable to present
them in this altered form to the
countries with which we have been
in negotiation
Senator Cullom replies as fol-
lows:
''The senate's position is right
absolutely. If anything is done
hereafter, the president will have
to take the senate into his conf
dence. It might require a little
more time, but otherwise I can
see nothing in the senate's course

A School Closed
A sligth break in the steampipes
caused.4by the extreme cold weather
made it impossible to conduct classes
in the Clay school this morning. The
break allowed the steam to escape into
the ventilating shafts and from there
into the schoolrooms. 1t took nearly
two hors to repair the broken pipe and
all the pupils we're given a half holiday.
The heating plant was in working order
at IL o'clock and the building was

New Alignment Possible.

A new alignment of public opinion is
possibly in sight owing to this sudden
switching of the issue. The senate sees
an excellent chance to bid for popular
approval, even in the face of the popu-
larity Of the president, when it becomes
the champion Of the people s right
against an unwarranted usurpat1On OF
authority by the president.
1t is evident that the president can
not take the country with him in his
course as to treaties. Even such good
personal friends as Senators Lodge and
Spooner have taken ground against
him, which is reinforced by such men
as John W. Foster, Wayne McVeagh
and Andrew Carnegie, all friends Of
President Roosevelt and ardent support
ers Of his policies.
His friends fear he went too far IN
the San Domingo matter and laid him
self open to senatorial rebuff.
The excuse is that Secretary Hay was
busy with the great affairs of Russo
Japanese diplomacy, and this little mat
ter was turned over to Assistant Sec
SAINT with the strenuous instincts OF the
president. Loomis is not an experienced
diplomat, being more trained in break
ing red tape than following prece.
dents.
Unfortunate Phase.
The unfortunate phase of the affair.
as viewed by the president 8 friends,
is the harm that is likely to come to
the administration plans for railway
regulation. In making good the accu.
sation Of legislative usurpation the sem
ate will feel justified to resist any and
all presidential plans. Legislative
usurpation" will be a snuffer upon
White House influence. The senate
hopes to accomplish the break without
having to account for any other cause
than the treaty-making power, which
in reality is only part Of it, and not a
very large part either.

Faribault, Mimi, Feb. 19.-Investiga-
ton has shown that there is a discrep-
ancy between the amount claimed to
be due the First National bank Of this
city from the De#Soto Fruit, Agricul-

Georgia and what the books of the

Indeed, until the day the bank sus-
pended, the officers Of the company did
not know it owed the bank anything
but a comparatively small amount.
Their dealings were with Clement, the
capitalist, and not with Clement, the
president of the bank.

But whether the company owes the
banks $4,000 or $l1l, 900, the obliga-
tions were incurred in a perfectly hon
orable and upright way so far as the
company is concerned. In its transac-
tions with Mr.. Clement, it had nothing
to conceal; issuing the bonds and de-
posting them with Mr.. Clement as col
lateral security for a loan Of his pri-
vate funds was q clean-cut business
proposition with the company. Behind

BY w. w. Jermano,

Washington, Feb. l3.-Friends of the
president regret that the senate has sue
ceeded in substituting the treaty-mak-
ing issue for railway legislation as an
occasion for the break between the
White House and the senior branch Of
congress. This break has been in pros
pect for. some days, and was bound to
come, but not as a result Of a charge
Of executive usurpation in the treaty
making function.
The senate has determined to resist
railroad legislation to the point Of open
rupture. The president had been noti-
fed Of this intent, and had served
ito final and determining issue.
The treaty matter was seized upon by
the leaders Of the senate with eagerness
They had no relish for the prospective
contest on the issue Of regulating rail-
roads. Even the independence of the
senate was not proof against the very
evident opinion Of the great mass of
their constituents. The lash had begun
to smart already. and the knowledge
that Roosevelt was planning a long cam
jpaign of publicity left them in very
uneasy frame of mind

SWIM NIAGARA RAPIDS.
T1uO Men Race AcTOSS RiUer-
Neither injured.

Niagara Falls. n. Y, July 17.-Carlisle d. Gra-
ham, of this city, and William ]. Glover. jr.. of
Baltimore successfully swan the lower rapids
of the Niagara River from the American side Of
the whirlpool to Lewiston this afternoon. Glover
beat Graham by four minutes The distance Of
four miles was covered in twenty-six minutes
by Glover.
The start made at 4:02 D. m. from Flat
Rock which is on the American side. The swim
mers did not venture in the upper rapids where
Captain Webb lost his life about twenty-five
years ago.
Both men wore lifebelts and inflated rubber
rings around their necks. From the start Glover
took the lead. He entered the rapids about a
minute ahe3d of Graham. Until the Devils
Hole was reached. the swift current and roaring
rapids had the swimmers IN their grasp. About
that point swirling eddy caught Glover, and h4
was down fully two minutes. His Hfebelts saved
him. Graham by this time had gained on
Glover, and when the two men reached the end
Of the rapids just above the Suspension Bridge
at Lewiston there was but little distance be-
tween them.
Swimming in the swift. smooth current was
hard for Graham but evidently easy for Glover
At 4:2S o'clock Glover pulled up the dock
at Lewiston. About fifteen minutes later he
was dressed and telling his story. Graham had
to be taken TO a hotel in wagon. and did not
leave bed until late in the afternoon Neither OF
the men was injured
