SR Euit for an Accounting Reveals the Actions of Brokers Who Sold - When Their Clients Purchased. ST = S LONDON, Dee. 19.—The story of Lady Miles, widow of Sir Philip Miles, her thousands and a bucket shop, is being told before a Lord Chief Justice, the lady having sued Messrs. Duncans of Water- loo Place for £€127, the proceeds of a sale of consols. Duncans is the name under which Hen- ry Lowenfeld of the Shaftesbury Theater, A. A. Hannay and W. Stark do business as outside, or “curb” stock brokers. They issued a book called *How Money Makes Monpey.” Lady Miles saw this book in August, 1888, and wrote to Messrs. Dun- cans. Since then £10,000 or more of her money has passed through Duncans’ bands. Lady Miles began with a three-share deal in August, 1898. On November, 1899, transactions involving about £100,000 were cpen between her ladyship and Duncans. “While the firm,” said the plaintiff's counsel, ‘“‘were,ever ready with advice to | Lady Miles about buying stocks and shdres, whenever she bought they al- ways sold.” Toward the end of the dealings Lady Miles’ daughter suggested to Messrs. b'.hmans that it would be a good thing to sell instead of buying.

READY TO VOTE ON CANAL TREATY Senators Evince No Further Desire to Speak on the Subject. Treaty Providing for the Purchase of Certain Islands of the Philip- pine Group Considered and Laid Aside. g ‘WASHINGTON, Deec. 19.—To-day’'s ex- executive sessicn of the Senate demon- strated that the discussion of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty by that body is practi- cally exhausted, and that the Senate is ready for the vote, which has been fixed for to-morrow. Wnea, upon _Senator | Lodge's motion, the doors were closed to- day and called ‘up the treaty, no Sen- ator evinced a desire to speak upon it. Without making any special request for speakers, Lodge asked the Senate to take up the treaty with Spain, providing for the cession to the United States of the Philippine Islands of Sibutu and C“f ayan, Sulu and their dependencies consideration of the payment to Spain of $100,000. Objection to this request was made by several Senators, including Hoar, | ‘Wellington and Bacon, and Senator Lodge, with the hope of removing the objection made, went into a brief explanation of the terms of the negotiation. He explained | that the islands are comprised in the Phil- and said that they were sup- posed to have been ceded by Spain in the Paris treaty, and the United States had It was soon found, however, suppositipn. that the definite line of our acqulfl(lnn fixed by the freaty cut both of them out It 1s a rule of law, he explained, that a definite boundary description always su- persedes an_ indefinite description. Hence in order to leave no doubt of our owne: ship, the treaty for the sion of these islands hed been negotiated, and he be- lieved that the Unrited States would be saved much trouble in the future by con- summating the bargain. He characterized the proceeding as in the nature of a quiet- ing title process. Lodge also called atten- tion to the fact that one of the islands is directly on the line of communication with Born and he drew it mght be a a8 o cable station, Sepators Hoar and Bacon sald would like to have more time to consider the question. and Senator Wellington made unqualified objection. Accordingly the treaty was for the time being. important laid aside TO BLOCK THE CANAL BILL. Panama Company and Colombian Government Oppose Nicara- guan Route. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Understand- ing that action by the United States fav- orable to the Nicaragua canal will mean the death of the Panama enterprise, Colombia is prepared to join forces with the Panama Canal Company and the Pa- cific railroad Interests to block the enact- ment of canal legislation by Congress. Colombia appreciates that the Panagma Canal Company cannot possibly complete the Panama waterway with the funds now avallable, and that in order to effect | its completion the company will have o make a loan of at least $100,000,000. It 2 understands that so long as there is agi- tation in the United States for the con- struction of the Nicaragua canal the Pan- ama Company will be unable to raise funds to execute the work. It is therefore, terest of Colombia to join forces with other opponents of the Nicaragua canal to prevent legislation in favor of that enterprise, and at the same time to show to the United States the willingness to have this Government construct the Pan- ama canal. Although the Minister for Foreign Af- | fairs of Colombia has privately an- nounced the purpose of his Government to re-establish its legation here, he has not communicated the fact to the State Department, and the authorities are con- | sequently not informed as to the charac- ter of the canal proposals the new Min- That Colombia is will- ing to cancel the concession of the Pan- ama Canal Company, provided she can do so with profit to herself, there is no doubt, but there is no disposition on the part of the executive to urge her to do sa, GERMAN BANKING HOUSE SERIOUSLY EMBARRASSED Anhalt & Wagner in Difficulties Ow- ing to Connections With Other Firms.
