FIGHT ID COME ON MOROCCAN TREATY Vote Will Be Taken on De-
 cember 20, Next TOBE MADE PUBLIC AT ONCE Bacon and Morgan Oppose Treaty on Ground That United States Has
 No Business Interfering With
 Affairs In Morocco.
TOBE MADE PUBLIC AT ONCE

Washington, June 7.-The Senate, in ex- ecutive session today agreed that the Algeciras treaty in relation to Moroccan affairs shall be brought to vote on De- cember 20 at the next session of Con- gress, which is the latest date on which action could be had If the United States Is to participate in the convention. The treaty requires that the notifications must be deposited at Madrid on December S1 next.
 Senators Bacon and Morgan led the op- position to the treaty and prevented a favorable report in the committee on for eign relations today They agreed. how
 ever, to permit vote early next session If 1t were made pubic. so that the coun- try could know its provisions. This was agreed to by the republican members of the committee. and Senator Culom of fered the resolutions fixing the date De-
 cember 20 for the vote. The treaty was ordered made public.
 The democratic opposition was based on the ground that the treaty undertakes to establish laws for Morocco and to per init the powers to assume police powers,
 which may be used as a precedent to
 take similar course with Turkey and other nations. It was claimed also that the reservation made by the United States as to responsibility for the enforcement of the treaty shows that there can be no good reason for the participation of this government in Moroccan affairs The reservation follows:
 "The government of the United States having no political influence in Morocco and no desire or purpose having animated 1t to take part In this conference. other than to secure for all people the widest equality of trade and privilege with Mo- rocco and to facilitate the institution of reforms in that country tending to h. sure complete cordiality of intercourse without stability of administration within for the common good declares that in acquiescing in the regulation and declara- tons of the conference In becoming signatory to the general act of Algecras. and to the additional protocol, subject to ratification of constitutional procedure and in accepting the application of those regulations and declarations of Ameri- can citizens In Morocco, it does so with out assuming obligations or responsibility for the enforcement thereof"

BEES IN AN AQUARIUM.
Way of Finding Out How Doth Little
 Busy.

Everybody Is curious to see bees actually at work. By following the example of a writer in Suburban Life this curiosity may be gratfied.
 Take a rectangular glass aquarium and place it on window sill, elevated slight ly at the side nearest the window, so that when the latter is raised an inch the bees may pass in and out. If desired, the bees may 9be kept for some time in confinement by raising the aquarium an inch on blocks and using a strip of wire screen cloth to prevent the bees from escaping.
 When confined, the bees should be fed a syrup of equal parts of sugar and water. A frame or two of bees may be purchased for a trining sum.
 Put within this glass aquarium some rustic supports to represent projecting undecayed portions of the inside of the hollow trunk. Keep all covered by an opaque cloth when not observing what is going on within this glass bee home.
 Then the bees will be free to work and to adapt themselves to the environment. They can suit their own fancy about attaching combs to the sticks: they may build dagonically or in any other form that they may prefer, and they may at tach the comb to sides or ends just when and where they think it is necessary
 In the artificial hives the combs are attached only at the edges, but in natural conditions within the bee tree or in it's counterpart. as represented by the old fashioned box hive with opaque sides and in our transparent inverted aquarium the bees can build combs and attach them in any way that they see fit.

In Birmingham.

Representative men in Birmingham connected with the iron industry did not give credence to the story which appear ed in the New York Commercial Monday under a Pittsburg date line and which is denied by MT. Topping.
 President Maben of the Sloss-Sheffield company said yesterday that in his in terview which appeared yesterday morn- ing, there were two inaccuracies He says he had no intention of conveying the idea that the Sloss company was richer than the Gates interest nor did he wish to intimate that the stories which have re- gently appeared in New York papers were put out for the purpose of bulging the stocks of the Gates properties.
 MT. Gates and his associates have the money" said MT. Maben, "and when they want to acquire the Sloss-Sheffield company they will be able to buy 1t. It will be only a question of price

Woman Ate a Contract.

From the New York World.
 The boom in real estate at Flushing. l.. l.. has landed part of valuable con tract in Mrs. J. s. Eardley's midst and stirred up no end of trouble between her and Thomas Pritchard of Booraem ave- nue, Flushing.
 Mrs. Eardley, who lives in Brooklyn, sold six lots In Flushing to MT. Pritch- ard week ago. They are in the High land section of the town. MT. Pritchard paid a deposit, and Mrs. Eardley signed a contract agreeing to surrender the lots to him for certain price.
 Within the last four days prices of Flushing property have jumped up as much as 25 or 50 per cent In one day. Mrs. Eardley heard of this. and her soul was sad She called at MT. Pritehard's of fees yesterday morning.
 'I want to keep my lots,' said she briskly.
 Madame you can't" he replied with utmost suavity.
 Let's see the contract" said she, sooth- ingly.
 MT. Pritchard handed her the precious paper, and in the twlnklng of an eye she had bitten a big piece out of it. MT. Pritchard grabbed her throat. Then came a fierce struggle between hand muscles and throat muscles, and throat muscles won, for Mrs Eardley swallowed a large chunk of the contract and smiled in bit ter triumph at her foe.
 "I'll have the law on you.' he cried.
 Pooh" sneered she. I've got the evil dence in my midst. and I'd like to see the court that can find out anything about it.
 And there the matter rests.

WATER ON HILLTOP.
Flowing We'll Struck In Kansas That
 Puzzles Scientists.

From Cherryvale (Kan) Cor. Philadelphia
 North American.
 One of the biggest water wells ever drilled in this part of the country Is in the vicinity of the shelter here. The location was purely an accident. The supply of water for the horses. and de- cided that 1t would be better to go to the top of hill and run gravity line down to the works than to drill on the flat and install pumps. The drill had not been working more shan three hours when the water came with a great rush and nearly blew the tools out of the hole. A sixinch pipe was put in, and this is barely sufficient to contain the volume.
 The pressure Is so great that the tank over he fire engine house is filled without pumping, and then the well Is not working more than fourth of the time If it were to work all the time it would not only supply all of the de- partments of the shelter, but the en- ure town of Cherryvale.
 The capacity of the we'll is matter of guess, because it has never been al lowed to run all day. but it is said to be at least 100000 gallons a day. The drilling of the we'll has been the talk of the farmers in the neighbor- hood, and more wells will be drilled in the hope of finding the same vein.
 The big well is another of the freaks which have been the bane of geologists since the discovery of oil and gas In this part of the state. If there was any other range of hills around here the presence of the water so near the surface of the ground on top of the hill to the northwest might be explained, but how it happens that the water Is within twelve feet of the highest hill in the whole country and with no other hill at all within reach, is something the people who think they know some thing of geology have been unable to explain.

study is to note when the bees think it necessary to put out side support from a long comb. They seem to believe that they are really within a hollow tree and that it is likely to be swayed by the gales Of course. when so swayed long combs laden with honey or with young bees would be too much for the unyielding rigi- dity of the upper part of the eombs These, if they have no side stays would bend, crack and be crashed against each other.
 The bees have learned this and give the combs a firm support whever it is neces- sary. They do this, it is true, to certain extent. in the regular eight or ten frame hive but not with the naturalness with which they do it in a large, unobstructed space.
 Not long ago a veteran bee keeper took a colony of bees from an attic, where they had been for many years. Well" said he, you should have seen the funny forms of those eombs-most interesting thing I ever saw There was one pillar almost round-a solid center right up and several feet long-and then combs around that; the most fantastic I shapes you ever saw"

 MT. Watson of Indiana and MT. Lacey of Iowa suggested Governor Cummins had said nothing in regard to the tariff this year. MT Clark retorted that last November MT.

DRUMMING" IN MEXICO.

Consul J. A. Le Roy Of Durango.
 Cheap travelling men who can pick up orders in a brisk and breezy fashion in the west and southwest of our own coun- try are not the men who may be ex- pected to do business in Mexico. The professional hustler is quite apt to be of no use down here. Men of educa- ton and culture. with gentlemanly man. ners and a knowledge of the language. its people and their customs, are the sort of travelling men American firms need, not only for this country but for all Spanish America.
