C., Dec. 11.—Two speeches on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty were made in the executive session at the senate today; one by Senator Ba con in opposition to the treaty, and the other by Senator Cullom, the prospec tive chairman of the committee on for eign relations, in support of it. Mr. Bacon replied to the speech made yesterday by Senator Lodge in present ing the report of the committee or foreign relations to the senate. H< summed up his objections in the state ment that he could not freely accept any treaty which does not place the Isthmian canal entirely under Ameri can auspices and American control. This, he said, the pending treaty does not do, nor does it do anything like It. It did not by long odds accomplish what had been accomplished by the senate amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty that* had been tinder considera tion at the last session of congress. That amendment had, he said, abroga ted all the objectionable provisions of the treaty as negotiated and it did not "natter what provisions there were In he agreement so long as the United mates were authorized as they were by the principal Davis amendment to Lvcure the safety and maintenance of the canal by their own force. That amendment had given this country a free hand to do what was necessary for the protection and defense of the canal, whereas the present treaty car ries all the restrictions which were or iginally contained In the old treaty, leaving out the modification of the Da vis amendment. Referring to the treaty, which had been incorporated in the restrictlona of the old Suez canal treaty, which had been incorporaed in the original convention. He charged that these restrictions had been copied almost verbatim from the old treaty, the only material change be ing in the omission of the words, "in time of war as in time of peace” from rule 1 of the Suez canal agreement. This omission did not, however. In his opinion, change the character of the agreement ns there was no limitation ns to time or country, preventing the United States from controlling the ca nal in case of hostility with any other . power. “The only reply,” he said, “which the advocates of the treaty make to criticism is that the canal would be under the full control of the United States in time of war, but this Is no more true now than under the old treaty and it is a strange thing that all the provisions refer to the control of the canal In war notwith standing It Is contended here that In that contingency the removal of this phase places the canal under our ab solute control.” He said the war re strictions of the treaty were entirely inconsistent with the claims of Senator Lodge that this country should say who phould uso the canal and who should not In case of hostilities. He contended that the only power given to the United States which was not given to Great Britain was found In the last sentence of regulation 2 providing that ‘‘the Uni ted States shall be at liberty to main tain such military police along the ca nal ns may be necessary to protect It against lawlessness and disorder,” hut this, he said, was not sufficient to make the canal an American institution and if the Davis amendment had been nec- c?. 3 ary to render the original treaty ac ceptable it was equally necessary in this instance. He considered the pending treaty ev* ery whit as objectionable as the treaty of last session. He quoted the fourth article of the pending treaty as fol lows: "It Is agreed that no change of terri torial sovereignty or of international relations of XM country or countries traversed by the before mentioned ca nal shall affect the general principle of neutralization or the obligation of the high contracting parties under the pres ent treaty.” . The effect of this pro vision, he said, was inevitably to sur render control of the canal belt in esse the ownership of the soil embraced in it should pass to the United States. H» pointed out that this restriction had not been Incorporated in the first treaty, and said it was entirely out of place in the revised agreement. . Indeed, he thought there would be almost as much objection to guaranteeing neutrality on land owned by the United 8tates on the Isthmus of Panama as on land held by a canal crossing the peninsula of Florida. In conclusion, Mr. Bacon announced that while be had no intention of vot ing for the treaty he would do nothing to obstruct its ratification. Senator Cullom congratulated the sen ate and the couptry upon the fact that there are two things In connection with th* new treaty upon which, he WASHINGTON’, Dec. 11.—At a meet ing of the ways and means committee today Chairman Payne was directed to favorably report to the house the Philippine tariff bill which the repub lican members of the committee agreed upon yesterday. The report will be made Friday and the bill will be con sidered in the house next Tuesday with a vote at 4 p. m., on Wednesday instead of on Tuesday as first planned. Some surprise was occasioned at the failure of the committee to ask for a division and vote on the question of re porting the bill. In the absence of such request no vote was recorded. Numerous conferences of democratic member* were held prior to the meet ing of the ways and means committee today because of the question which had arisen as to united opposition to the Philippine bill drafted by republi can members. It was developed in this connection that the four Louisiana members now In the city—Robertson. Meyer, Ddvey qnd Ransdell—were fa vorable to the bill and that the two Louisiana member* out of the city— Messrs. Broussard and Brenzeale—pro bably would favor it. Among their as soclates the l/mislana members made no concealment of the fuct that .he sugar industry of their state required the measure of protection against Phil ippine sugar which the majority bill gave by applying the Dingley rates. Under these circumstances the minor ity members reached no united deci sion as to opposing the bill and al though there will be a minority report opposing the measure on general grounds, the Louisiana members will hold themselves Individually free to vote for the bill.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 11.—Gov ernor Jelks today granted a parole to Mrs. Nannie Cheek, who wa* recently convicted in Henry county of killing Danzey, her divorced husband. She had married Danzey when she was 13 years old. A divorce followed after two children were born, and Mrs. Danzey married R. M. Cheek of Georgia. She returned to Alabama and attempted to secure possession of her children, who had been placed In custody of Danzey by the court*. Danzey re-married. In a three-cornered fight between Danzey, Mrs. Cheek and her brother, Danzey was killed and the brother-in-law wounded, afterward dying. Mrs. Cheek, who is less than twenty years old. was sentenced to two years Imprisonment upon conviction of manslaughter and had been imprisoned several weeks when the parole was secured through the earnest efforts of Che6k, the hus band. and Raker, the father. Executive clemency was recommended by tho tri al Jury, tho trial Judge and the state’s attorney. CONFERENCE HONORS THE DEAD DELEGATE RcROlntlon* of Respect of n Re markable Character—Details of th Ceremonials. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 11.—When the Pan-American conference met this morning, President Raigosa, after allu ding to the death of Duarte Peril a In feeling terms, proposed that a commit tee be appointed then and there to de termine the action of the conference In the matter. A committee was ap pointed consisting of President Raig osa, second Vice-President Esluplsn, ex Senator Davis of the United States del* egatlon, Mankel Alvarez Calderon of Peru, Bcrmejo of Argentine and Cuea- tas of Uruguay. While the committee withdrew from the hall to deliberate the session was suspended, but the members of the conference remained In the building. After half an hour the committee came back and reported a set of nine resolutions. The first ex presses the grief of the conference at the death of the Brazilian delegate The second provides that at 7 o’clock tonight the delegates accompany th* remains from the hotel where the dele, gate died to Conference hall, where the body Is to He in state until the hour of the funeral tomorrow. The third pro-, vides that the delegates and their sec retaries are to keep guard until mid night tonight. The four announces that the body will be temporarily Interred In tha vault n f PresIHant v In WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.—The demo cratic senators today held their first caucus of the present ?ssolon. Its pur pose was to consider committee assign ments, but the_ occasion was more than ordinarily significant because of the general attendance upon the caucus. All the senators elected ns democrats, with the exception of Senator McLnurin of South Carolina, were present, pp were all of the senators who were elect ed as silver republicans or populists. All tho Independents except Senator Teller, of Colorado, had entered tho democrats caucus 3 held just before ad journment last March, but Senator Teller then remained away. He was present, however, at today’s conference and participated In the proceedings. The caucus was called at tho Instance of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who stated that he had thought It possible that the new penators might want to malm some change In the officer* of the cau cus. There was, however, a general ex pression of satisfaction with the present officials, and Senator Jones was re elected unanimously chairman of the caucus. Tho old committee on order of business alpo was reappointed, and the one vacancy on that committee was filled by the selection of Senator Du bois of Idaho, who was the choice of all tho western members of the cau cus. During the proceedings Senator Till man suggested that there should bo fre quent conferences and a continued ef fort to agree upon the main features of all political controversies. There wua a quite general response to this sugges tion, and the opinion was practically unanimous that the party should pre sent a solid front, permitting no more straggling than was absolutely neces sary. Senator Jones presented a statement from the republican committee assign ments from which It appcarcl the re publicans were anxious to increase tho republican membership of several com mittees and to decrease tho democratic membership ot/i few of the committees. The most Important change suggested by them was that the republicans should be allowed to add one member to their side of the committee on com- merce.whlle the democrats should agree to surrender one of the places on that committee held by them. Tho com mittee as now constituted includes ten republican members and seven demo cratic members. It was decided vig orously to resist this Innovation. The republicans also expressed a desire to Increase tho membership a committee on agriculture and census from 9 to 11 each, the two members to be republicans: to Increase the committee on claims from 13 to 14, the republicans to have 8 members nnd tho democrats 6, against 7 and 6 respectively as the committee Is now constituted. An In crease Is also proposed in the commit tee on foreign relation** As It at p r es- ent stands the committee numbers 11 members, four of whom are democrats. The proposal Is to make It consist of 13 members, 8 of whom shall he repub licans and 5 democrat*. A change wan also suggested in the committee on ir rigation, which Is at present composed of 6 republicans and 5 democrats. Tho change, If adopted, would give a mem bership of 11, onlly 4 of whom would be democrats. The democrats decided to oppose tho proposed changes In the committee on claims and Irrigation. The republican committee suggested no changes In the committee on appro priatlons. finance and Judiciary, but in dleated that they will continue Senator Jones, of Nevada, on the finance com mltteo. thus practically adding one to the republican representation and tak ing one from the opposition represen tation. The republicans did not Indi cate any intention to take care of Sen ator Wellington In the matter of com mittees, nor was any suggestion made In the caucus that the democrats should find places for him.

Ho was unsuccessful, but worked the crowd up to a pitch of great enthusiasm. For a time it appeared that the At lanta rider would gain the long mught lap. For three miles he kept up a ter rific pace, on that which It was said by veterans In n six days race, was re markable. The racers were rpread all around the track. Fredericks and Julius were passed In tho order named by the flying Southerner, who wa* then reliev- d by McEachern, the latter following up the advantage gained by his mate.

He contended that the new treaty radically change* the condition present ed by the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, dearly relieving It of the necessity for such an amendment as that made to the old treaty upon the auggestlon of Senator Davis, because the treaty Itself would permit the United States under International law to own. manage and defend the canal In any way that It may choose. In other words, he added. In a wsr with Great Britain or with any other power, the treaty would bo aus- pended. under the law which' governs nation*, until the war should be con cluded. when It would be revived and again enforced. imuico o.ts, NEW YORK.
