Amendments were offered in profusion for the per- | fection of the measure from a Demo- cratic standpoint, but all save an ap- propriation of $656,500 for the Charleston navy yard were rejected. The fight over the proposed Great | Lakes naval training station was be- gun during the last half-hour of the session, and promises a lively debate to-morrow. Just before adjourning the House authorized the printing of 10,500 j copies of “A Few Directions for De- stroying Mosquitoes. ———— Anxiously Await News of Treaty. COLON, Feb. 23.—Feverish excite- ment prevails over the whole isthmus to-day while awaiting the receipt of the news from Washington that the canal treaty had been ratified by the United States Senate.

Senator Kittredge says some modifi- | cation of the provision for the board of governors may be necessary when th= duties of the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion shull have been determined. if the commission is to have charge of | the work of, construction and is to be scmetimes on the isthmus and some- times in the United States the board will be necessary, but in case it shall be determined that a sufficient num- ber of commissioners shall be residents of the canal strip to constitute a gov- Alabama{ ernment the board of governors may be | made an extended speech in opposition | dispensed with and the duties of the | board devolve upon the commission. Section 2 contains the bill of rights of the United States constitution, with some additionak restrictions which gro- that all moneys collected for a special purpose shall be treated as a special fund and paid out only for such purposes; that the laws of the United States, except such as are expressly made applicable to the territory, shall not extend to the territory; that goods not the product or manufacture of the territory coming to the United States shall pay the same duties as goods from | foreign ports: that the laws in force in the republic of Panama on the date of exchange of ratifications for the treaty on November 18, 1903, and which are locally applicable in said territory and not inconsistent with the provisions of this act, shall continue in foree in =aid territory until altered or annulled by the board of governors or by Con- gress or suspended by the President under the powers conferred on him by the bill. . CONGRESS TO CONFIRM LAWS. Saection 4 declares that all laws passed by the board shall be reported to Con- gress, which reserves the power to alter or annul the same, Until expressly confirmed by Congress, the President is given power to suspend by procla- mation, in whole or in part, the ope- ration of any law passed by the board which he shall find to interfere with the performance of powers or duties of the president of the Isthmian Canal Commission under the Spooner act or the Kittredge bill. Section 5 says the Board of Gover- nors shall be charged with the duty of maintaining order, protecting the ca- nal, railroad and other property of the United States, preserving health and promoting morals and education in the canal territory. It shall maintain an adequate police force and in case of exigency may call on any land or naval forces of the United States within the territory to render assistance, which shall be rendered under such rules and orders as the President may make; it shall enact laws and make regulations for the purposes aforesaid in respect of the canal territory, and of the cities of Panama and Colon and for the sup- plying of water to said cities. Section 6 gives the board power by Judicial proceedings and upon payment Until Congress shall otherwise pro-! according to the second section, ' collect any tax, duty or charge of any kind upon property be- | longing to the Government ¢f the United States, or of vessels using the canal or upon their cargoes or-pas- sengers. Section 8 vests local authority in the Board of Governors, giving it power to grant pardons or reprieves for acts against the laws of the board and against the laws of the United States | under the direction of the President. | Section 9 authorizes the board to ap- { point a chief of police and defines his |duties and privileges. During the | absence or disability of all members of | the board he shall act as executive. | Under section 10 the board is au- | thorized to make laws and regulations for the administration of justice. Sec- tion 11 authorizes the President to ap- point three Judges to constitute the United States Court of Panama and | defines its duties. Section 12 gives the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second District ju- risdiction for appeal and review of | acts of the Panama court in all cases | | where an amount exceeding $5000 is | {involved; in criminal cases resulting {in death sentence or imprisonment for more than three years, or where the authority of the United States or the validity of a treaty or law of the United States is in question. Section 13 authorizes the board to provide for extradition from the ter- ritory under its control in conformity | with the extradition treaties of the United States, and for this purpose | the territory of the canal zone is/ deemed a «territory of the Wnited States and the republic of Pahama a foreign country. | MUST SWEAR ALLEGIANCE. | Section 14 requires all the officers under the Government of the territory to take the oath of allegiance to the | United States and renounce all for- eign allegiance. 1 Section 15 frovides that the terms | “territory,” ‘‘canal tertitory” or the like, which are employed in the -bill, shall comprehend and relate to all | lands, waters, harbors, ports, islands, | the cities of Panama and Colon and | | all the places and property, in respect | { to which the United States is now or | hereafter may be empowered under said treaty or any supplement there- | to to possess and exercise authority. Other sections provide for annual | reports to Congress and for payment | | of all expenses of the government out of its own revenues so far as possible and the remainder out of the treuuryi | of the United States. The bill was referred to the Com- | mittee on Interoceanic Canals, of which the late Senator Hanna was: chairman. { The filling of the vacancy has caus- ed much discussion and it virtually has been decided to leave it unfilled for the present. Senator Platt of New York will be the acting chairman. ——— PANAMA IS NOTIFIED. impose or Minister Varilla Cables News of Rat- ification of Treaty.

This great historical fact insures the com- pletion of the Panama canal and the protec- tion of the Panama republic. It crowns my laborious campaign of fifteen years on the po- litical and diplomatic fields to save the honor of the great French conception, as I had pre- Viously saved its life on the technical field after four years of warfare in the isthmus against insuperable obstacles. While defend- ing the great French enterprise. almost killed by falsehood and calumny, I acted in the ca- pacity of a French citizen, defending a great moral interest of France. This excludes all ideas of material remuneration. Therefore, I request the Government of the republic of Panama to withhold the salary of my office. It should form the nucleus of a fund for the erection of a monument by the grateful repub- lic of Panama to Ferdinand de Lesseps, the great Frenchman, whose genius has conse- crated its territory to the progress of the world for the honor of Panama and the glory of France and of the Upited States. & T | S G SENATORS IN DEBATE. Spend Hours Discussing t o Agricul- tural Appropriation Bill. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The rou- tiné of the Senate to-day was broken into by an executive session on the | Panama canal treaty. After the vote on the treaty consideration was begun of the agricultural appropriation bill. More than two hours were consumed |ln the discussion of an amendment making an appropriation for experi- ments in stock feeding, against whica a point of order was made by Lodge. The point was finally withdrawn and the amendment adopted, but not un- til “Rule 16" had made its annual in- roads into the valuable time of the Senate. The agricultural bill re- mains the unfinished business. —_———————— There were forty-two marriages to one divorce in France during 1908.
