SENATORS SPAR FOR TIME ON THE TREATY OF PEACE Failure of Efforts to Secure Consent to a Vote on the In- terpretation Resolutions. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, Feb. 4. None of the actual canvasses of the Senate showed to-day a sufficient number of votes to ratify the peace treaty.

It is overriding party programmes and forcing leaders who pre- | fer to divorce the church from parlia- | mentary strife to declare themselves. The | movement was started last summer by a then unknown bookseller named John Kensit, whom Englishmen rated as Americans did Coxey. It gathered mo- | mentum through the low churchists’ agi- tention. The newspapers are swamped with communications, mass meetings are being organized everywhere, and the voters are insisting that their repre- sentatives announce their views. How fiercely the people are wrought up was hardly realized until A. J. Balfour (the Government leader in the House of | Commons and First Lord of the Treas- ury), perhaps perscnally the most popu- lar publicist, addressing his constituents at Manchester on Monday last, endeav- ored to ignore ritualism and rethrash the | | stock themes of polities. He was fairly howled down. His auditors would not be silenced, when, in his suave, diplomatic manner, he attempted to slide around the subject by remarking that no violations of church law had come to his attention. The audience insisted that he should de- clare himself, and the meeting broke up in a manner very like a state of anarchy. On Wednesday an influential delegation called on Mr. Balfour and arraigned him for advocating the establishment of a Catholic university in Ireland.

Apart from the South African boom, which maintains its strength unoxpcczedl?’, gold shares are higher than at the height of the boom in 1895. This feeling of con- fidence may be expected to continue if he parliamentarians refrain from at- empting to goad Lord Salisbury to bel- ligerent action, as during the last ses- sion of Parliament, and provoke counter hreats from other powers. Most of the stock values have attained a higher level than in years and an unusually large pro- portion are buying for investment instead of speculation. As most of the manufacturers here have all the business they want the increase in the United States exports attracts less attention than it would in ordinary times. The representative of the Illinois Steel Company, Mr. Holland, speaking of the steel and iron business, say ““Both the English and American firm: ave all the orders they can fill now. When the time comes that there is not enough business for both, the English manufacturers, not the Americans, it may be predicted, will be the losers.” The papers are daily reiterating their warnings of the past two months that .rkrnerlcnu stocks are destined to a speedy all. Society anticipates a brilliant, though late season. The milliners and modistes are preparing for great business, particu- larly with Americans, of whom more are expected than for years, on account of the era of prosperity in the United States. There is an unusual pressure for presen- tations at the first drawing room on Feb- ruary 24. Queen Victoria, who is appear- ing vearly with less frequency, hopes to personally receive the diplomatie corps. The phenomenal number of transfers of West End houses, resulting from deaths and the prices offered by South African and Australian colonists, are inducing no- tabilities to sell outright. Among the noteworthy leases is that of Mrs. Ogden Goelet, who has secured Lord Wilborne's mansion on Arlington street, and Charles Keyer's lease of the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough's house on Grosvenor square.

General Miles has not officially heard from the President or War Department relative to the intention of the admin- istration respecting his case, and he is doing nothing in anticipation of action except in the way of preparing all re- ports and other data bearing upon his conduct during and since the war.

STANDARD OIL TRUST AS AN EXTERMINATOR How It Has Forced Outside Refiner- ies to Close Their Doors. MARIETTA, Ohio, Feb. 4—Attorney General Monett to-day conciuded the tak- ing of depositions in the Standard Oil cases here. The trend of the testimony was to show the alleged exterminating methods of the Standard Compa;)y. n;!adrs. but a few years ago four inde- ;letr?dglx?gd refineries, and their total pro- duction was second only to Cleveland in the State. One of these refineries has been compelled to quit business and two have been seriously crippled. The fourth, the Argand, is in the hands of the Stand- ard under jease. This refinery has been shut down for nearly a year. It is alleged that oil refined elsewhere was branded and sold under the name of Argand. J. S. Goebel, cashier of the First National Bank, testifled that the account of the Argand refinery was now carried in the name of H. J.

LA LUCHA PRINTS A LIST OF ALLEGED GRIEVANCES. Says Cubans Had Hoped for an Hon- est Administration, but That Spanish Methods Are Yet Employed. Special Dispatch to The Call. HAVANA, Feb. 4.—Prominent Ameri- cans who are studying the Cuban ques- tion express the belief that if the United States Government would define its Cu- | ban policy it would do much to amelior- ate the feelings of unrest and fear and the lack of confidence which prevail among all elements. From the Cuban standpoint the actions of the United States portent. If the Government's policy was more definitely defined Cuba would know who is to pay the American army of occupation, and statements to the effect that these moneys are being collected as Cuban customs would not oke troublesome sentiments. La Lucha prints a long list of Cuba’s alleged ills from the pen of General En- rique Collazo, from which the following extracts are taken: “The Treasury Department expresses the intention of giving an honest ad- ministration, but it employs men who were used to the dishonesties of the Span- ish regime and the Department of Justice is administered as under Spain. We hoped, but vainly, that would teach us new and better w: was logical to believe that the: break the old molds_and build on prevailing in the United States. laws based upon the demands of the peo- ple prevail, but in the American admin- istration in Cuba caprice rules with the sword and the Cubans are throw aside and almost excommmunicated, “The Cubans demanded with one voice the payment of their army and the United States responded with insufficient charity and food. The United States came to instruct us in governing; but they will not let us try to show what we can do. They came to give us independence; but seem to prepare for annexation. We may eventually vote upon the question of an- nexation, but with the reins of govern- ment in the hands of the Americans, there is little hope of a fair expression of the people’s wants. The centralization of power is established by the fact that General Brooke or the Washington Gov- ernment makes the appointments.

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 4.—The newly incorporated ofl company which recently leased 2000 acres of land at Rincon, twelve miles from this city, was rewarded last evening in its first attempt by striking a large flow of ofl of a very fing quality: 1t is, in fact, of a much better grade than that of the Summerland well. This well is situated about six miles from the oil fields of Summerland, and the indications are that the whole seashore from Mira- mar, two miles from Senta Barbara, to the Rincon, a distance of ten or twelve miles, {s rich in oil. The new company will immediately begin to bhore a great number of oil wells in this neighborhood. There is a mad rush to secure a strip of oil lands on the beach at almost every point between Miramar and Rincon. Every one within a radius of six miles of Sum- merland who can afford to put down a well has either done so or is preparing to do so. Derricks may be seen in every front yard, and back vard as well, in the Carpenteria and Summerland valleys. GERMAN GAMBLING SCANDAL.
