SENATORS FAVOR THE NEW TREATY Monday the Day Set for Vote on the Canal Measure. Arguments Advanced to Show This Country Has Right to Fortify Waterway. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The Senate agreed to-day to take & vote before ad- urnment on Monday on the new Hay auncefote treaty for the abrogation of rton-Bulwer treaty and opening for the construction of a canal the United States. This agreement was reached after four hours of debate suffi- ciently interesting to assure the constant attention of most of the Senators. Senator Spooner, who was one of the principal speakers of the day, had just concluded when Senator Lodge r-ade an effort to secure a vote. It developed that there were other Senators whd desired to be heard, the resuit being that the date for the vote was postponed until Monday. The agreement provides for an adjourn- ment of the Senate from to-day until Monday and for a meeting at 11 o’clock on that day, one hour in advance of the usual time. The understanding is that as soon as practicable after the Senate con- venes Senator Lodge shall move an execu- tive session and that the treaty shall have the entire attention of the Senate until a final vote is reached before the | adjournment for that day. Arguments Favor Treaty. The principal speakers to-day Senator Spooner were Senator Money and Senator Foraker. Money, while finding much in the treaty to criticize, sald that | as he found the fortunes of the proposed canal across the isthmus inextricably in- tertwined with the treaty he could not see ‘way clear to do anything that would pre- vent or even delay, ratification. The par- ticular features of the new treaty with | which he found fault were those retaining | the neutrality provision of the Clayton- Bulwer convention and specifying_police control of the canal when built. ar- gued that the effect of these provisions | inevitably must be to limit and prescribe | the power of the United States to control its own property in case of war. Senator Foraker maintained that pr sions of the new treaty meet every objec- tion made to the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty and cover every essential thing that was included in the amendments made by the Senate to that document. He regarded it as of the utmost importance that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should be wiped ott. This result was effected by the convention under consideration. He asserted that all rights of the United States were amply protected under this treaty and that our absolute and complete control of the canal could not be ques- tioned by Great Britain or any other power. Foraker's speech dealt largely with the legal construction and the general effect of the treaty. He said that after a care. its provisions he was firmly convinced that it could be honestly sup- ported by every patriotic citizen. Bacon Asks Questions. Senator Foraker was frequently inter- rupted by Senator Bacon. In the course of one of these interruptions Bacon asked if it was not true that under the terms of the treaty the construction of fortifica- tions by the United States would be an act of war. Foraker replied in the negative, declar- ing that not only would such an act not be an act of hostility, but that to build fortifications in case of necessity was one of the inherent rights of the Government. To this Bacon responded that he, for one, would never bring himself to vote for the ratification of the treaty with the nderstanding that his Government was o violate it. Foraker retorted ‘sharply to the effect that his friend from Georgia could be no more virtuous along the lines of main- taining the country’s honor in the way of keeping its agreements with other na- tions than were other Senators. Bacon replied that he had not meant to assume a virtue that he did not possess nor to Imply that other Senators were not as jealous of the country’s good name as he himself. Foraker then declared that he had not meant to charge Bacon with an unfair assumption, but simply to say that like all other Senators supporting the treaty he feit he was giving his name to a trans- action which would be honorably carried out between nations. Senator Spooner, who followed, also was frequently interrupted by Senators on the Democratic side. One of the first inter- ruptions came from Senator Bacon and pertained to the right of fortifying the canal. Replying to this inquiry Spooner said that it was a well-known principle of international law that all treaties, like all statutes, must be read together, and he contended in this connection that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the original Hay- | Pauncefote treaty and the pending treaty for the proper construction of the agree- ment should be considered as one series. Tortification of the Canal. The Clayton-Bulwer agreement had pro- vided that there should be no fortification of the canal and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of the Fifty-sixth Congress had carried a similar provision, but the new treaty struck out the entire fortifications provision, clearly showing that England, after contending for half a century against fortifications, had walved that provision, thus practically conceding our right to fortify the proposed canal. Questions were asked by Senators Till- man _and Bailey concerning the right of the United States to_ blockade the canal and in reply Senator Spooner insisted that the Government of the United States could not be bound by any treaty agree- meént which would prevent this country defending its own - property in its own way in time of war. Senator Tillman pressed the Inquiry somewhat and he and | Spooner engaged in a somewhat spirited | eolloquy, which, as usual, with them, ended good-naturedly. A very important question was raised by a number of Senators on the Democratic side as to the right of the United States to give differential rates to vessels en- gaged In our coastwise trade. This mat ter brought other Senators from the Re- publican_side of the chamber into the controversy. Senators Perkins and Nelson were among those who contributed to this feat- ure of the controversy. Senator Nelson insisted that under existing law the United States would have a_perfect right to give to the coastwise trade of this country any benefit it might seen proper in the use of the canal. It was perfectly well understood. he sald, that the ships of a foreign nation could not do a_coast- wise iness and Great Britain had made }he treaty with the full knowledge of this act. Senator Perkins made the assertion that by the acquisition or control of a strip of territory through which the canal | would vass the United States would ac- quire rights which would subject that ter- ritory to our coastwise laws and said for- eign bottoms could not trade between ports of the United States and any portion of the territory through which the canal This view was combated by Senators Tiliman and Bacon, the former intimating that if that were true. relative to the United States. Great Britain, on account | of her Canadian possessions and Mexico, both extending from ocean to ocean, also could contend for similar privileges. This, he thought. also would be true of any South American country whose territory extends from ocean to ocean. Senator Spooner was decidedly of a con- trary oninion and Ins'sted that these coun- tries did not acquire any rights of a coast- wise trade character alorg the route of the pronosed canal. which territory was under the control of or which might be ceded to the T'nited States. The mere fact that Canadian or Mexican territory extends from orean to oeean would not ®ive them the right to make demands for the ~enernsitv or business foresight of the United States. fenator Spnoner nlso contended that the Tinited States would have a right to enn- trol the canal after its awn manner die. ‘ng anv war to which this country might be a nart: Serator Mason interiected that treaty aereement pever binde a natian to the evtirction of its military rights ana duties. beside | KNOWLTON FACES MANY ACCUSERS The School Board Hears Charges Against Him. Principal Lyser Testifies Pio- neer Teacher Is Incom- petent. competency preferred by Albert Lyser, principal of the John Sweet Grammar | School, against Ebenezer Knowlton, was | begun by the Board of Education yes- | terday. Lyser was a conspicuous fig- ure during the hearing, as was also Mrs. Kincaid who, as a member of the | board, spent her time profitably with her knitting needle as she listened to the | testimony against the pioneer educator | and of the importance of which she is to | judge. Lyser testified that Knowlton's discl- | pline was bad and that his methods ot | teaching were worse. One day the wit- ! ness went into Knowlton's class room and was amazed to find that none of the puplls was able to answer his query as to “what effect altitude had upon temperature.” Attorney McPike floored Lysef | when he brought out the fact that the pupils in question had been taught under his supervision for seven years, and that at the time of his catechism Knowlton had been in charge of the class only two months. Lyser's testimony was in effect | that Knowiton was a great talker; that | he lectured his girl pupils on thesubject of rings, and the number they should | wear, and that he once told them that in | his Youth he was the champion candy- | eater of his class. Frank Morton, principal of the Lowell High School, regarded | incompetent to serve as teacher. Princi- pal Hamilton of the Lincoln Grammar School said that in his judgment Knowl- ton was a fair teacher. F. H. Clark, head of the department of history in the Lowell School, testified that the interests of the schools would be advanced if Knowlton were no longer connectéd with the depart- ment. It developed under cross-examina- | tion that Clark was the author of a his- tory of the United States, which is one of the California - text books, and that Knowlton had jncurred Clark’'s hostility by criticizing it. an you show in your history whether or not “the United States is In North America?’ asked McPike. Clark admitted reluctantly that his book was bad and that he did not claim its authorship among intelligent people. ‘Does_your history give the area of the | . The investigation of the charges of in- | s not on trial” said Chairman Casser! [ ““We desire mereiy to show the animus of this charge against Mr. Knowlton,” re- | sponded McPike. ‘‘Knowlton criticized Clark’s history, and perhaps that fact may have had some effect upon Clark’s judgment as to Knowlton's ability as an educator.” When Clark's testimony was finished Chairman Casserly announced that the persecution” of Knowlton was finished, nd when he corrected himself by saying ‘prosecution’” a general laugh followed. McPike hinted that the first term might be deemd proper by some people, but Casserlv made no reply. McPike 'then asked that the charzes be dismissed for lack of proof, but this was promptly de- nied by Casserly. The defense then an- nounced that if given time witnesses would be produced in Knowlton's behalf. The matter then went over until next Tuesday at 9 o’clock a. m., at which time Knowlton will offer testimony in his own behalf. + — ICTURES and stories for the young and the old! Poetry and prose!

Clafa Ellis, special administratrix of the estate of Mary Kilroy, also known as Mary Abrock, who was charged by J. Abrock with attempting to decamp with the funds of the estate, appeared before Judge Sloss yesterday and denled the charge. Abrock made the charge Wednesday and Judge Sloss suspended the adminis- tratrix and issued an attachment to bring her into court. George D. Collins, attor- ney for the administratrix, secured a stay of the execution of the attachment by promising_to have his client in court yes- terday.

The three customs inspectors who, after arresting two smugglers, went on a trip through water front saloons, drinking and smoking with the prisoners, and then re- leased their captives on their own recog- nizance for nearly two days have been found guilty of disobedience of orders and have been sentenced to forfeit ten days’ pay and to take a vacation for that pe- riod. Customs Collector Stratton took ac- tlon yesterday and set forth the verg*ot and sentence in a letter. The Colleotor says: 1 believe from the evidence taken by me that Inspector Peppin disobeyed orders in mot taking two prisoners, Joseph and George Alex- ander, to the County Jail, as per instructions, and leaving them in custody there. Notwith- standing his knowledge of the law he per- mitted himself to be controlled in the matter both by his feellngs and by the advice of others. According to the evidence, since it was somewhat late Saturday evening, the inspectors permitted both prisoners to leave on their own recognizance without formal arrest or confine- ment in jail upon their promise to deliver themselves into custody on Monday morning. The prisoners did so report at the time and hour agreed upon and were then, on the Mon- day following, charged with the crime of smuggling. Inspector Broderick, I find from the evi- dence, was somewhat under the influence of liquor when he assisted in taking the prison- ers to the County Jail. He further took drinks with the prisoners subsequent to the arrest. Inspector Clifford took one drink with the prisoners after the arrest. Inspector Peppin did not drink, but took a clgar. The prisoners went into the custody of the inspectors about 7 p. m.,, and, according to the evidence, they reported back for duty at the Mall dock at 10:15 or 10:30 on that evening.

In an exciting runaway, which occurred yesterday afternoon on Market street, between Fifth and Eighth, an elderly wo- man, who was wheeling a child in a baby carriage, had a very narrow escape from being seriously injured. She was knocked down by the runaway horse and the baby carriage was overturned, but neither the child nor the woman recelved any injury further than a slight shaking up. The horse and light wagon that caused the troubie are the property of Smith & Young, 723 Market street. The horse be- came_irightened at the corner of Bighth and Market streets and got beyond the control of the two boys who were driving. In front of the Sterling Furniture Com- pany’s store the two boys jumped from the wagon, leaving the horse to continue his wild run. Near the corner of Taylor street it knocked down the woman and baby carriage. People who witnessed the accident say that the escape of the wo- man and child was most miraculous. The runaway was finally brought to a sudden end\by a collision with one of the stone corner posts of the Native Sons’ Monu- ment at the corner of Mason street.
