WANTS VOTE ON TREATIES.
Senator Lodge to Make Request fol-
Unanimous Consent.

During the session of the Senate today
Senator Lodge will prefer his request for
unanimous consent to name a date for a
vote on the pending arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France. for which
he had given notice for yesterday.
The desire is to get the treaties out OF
the way before the tariff question be-
comes so prominent as to engross the
Senate's attention. 1t is doubtful whether
a day will be fixed on the first effort, but
1t is believed that the reference to the
subject will have the effect of stirring to
greater activity the senators who desire
to speak on the treaties.

BERLIN. February 1.-The plans for
the visit of a German squadron to the

cruiser Goeben, in the event of her trial
trips being completed. will also probably
participate. 1t is hoped here that these
three warships will be sent to America,
as they constitute the acme of German
design.

Plan to Dam the Niger.

In any case, says the writer, from
Timbuctoo to Taudeni the land slopes
downward. The damming of the Niger,
which would compel that river to return
to its ancient bed, and would be less
difficult of accomplishm Mt than the As
suan dam, would restore millions of
acres of desert to fertility and cultiva-
ton, and would bring the Sudan so much
nearer to Algeria. The completion Of
the Cape-Oran line would open the valley
of the upper Niger to France, and the
only thing necessary is the establish
ment of an accurate map.
The first novelty this year in Paris is
the Paris-Madrid telephone, or rather
the telephone from Brest to Barcelona.
But the Spaniards who live in Paris are
somewhat annoyed because the Madrid
telephone authorities have not been able
to extend trunk facilities to everybody
with a telephone in Madrid. You can
call up any Office or house on the tele-
phone in almost any town in Europe
now, but in Spain the person to whom
you want to talk has to attend at the
post office and await your summons
there. Typically enough. the first word
