SHAFTER HAS HIS SAY.
Declares He Has No Intention of Re
tiring From the Army.
NEW YORK, Feb. H.-tieneral Wil-
I Ham R. Shatter, who has been on a
' I'iu'n frUnrtu in fnn nos.t f ni ..111 .
tend a reception at the Army and Navy
Club tonight, after which he will re
turn it once to San Francisco.
General Shafter denied that he had
any immediate intention of retiring
from the army. He knew nothing of
the report that he would shortly ap
peal to congress to be relieved. A re
cent statement that he had been guilty
of disobedience of orders, in ignoring
Colonel Maus in appointing an inspect
or of the transport Manauense, General
Shafter declared was equally false.
"There have been some complaints of
the transport Manauense, said General
! Shafter, "and some demand that the
' finnrll.lm rt .Via nDTiiir V. . . I r iff. at I
L'Jiiu (.I'll v. nit: iiaiiDjiui. is; iuti.dvi-
gated. It will be investigated, and I
j believe the inspector has already been
appointed. I don't know who the ap
pointee is, however, as he is not ap
pointed directly by me. The appolnt
tee, w hoever he is, it not Colonel Maus.
"I have no intention of retiring for
some time to come, and certainly no
intention of requesting congress to re
tire me now. As soon as I have fin
ished my visit here, I shall return to
Ran Francisco and take up my work
again.
AskiMl for an expression of opinion
of the war In South Africa, General
Shafter said:
"The recent achievements of Ameri
can land and naval forces are in strik
ing contrast with the repulses sus
tained by the flower of their army in
South Africa."
THE CANAL TREATY.
Discussion of the Measure by Foreign
Relations Committee,
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Serious consideration will be given to
the Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty by
the committee on foreign relations and
later in the day by a republican caucus.
Thene discussions will doubtless have
an in.poi tant bearing on the fate of the
treaty, but final action Is not to be ex
pected for some weeks. The republican
caucus will only decide as to the time
when the treaty shall be taken up for
consideration in connection with the
legislative programme which Is to be
mapped out by a new steering commit
tee to be appointed by the caucus.
At the meeting of the foreign rela
tions committee Senator Morgan will
present the report of the sub-committee
appointed to inquire into the effect
of the Ctayton-Btrtwer trealy on the
canal and the ehaages made by the
new treaty In the old one. In this re
port Senator Morgan will Sake the
ground that the Clayton-Hulwor treaty
has never been abrogated. He starts
out with the statement that the United
States ploaded for the Clayton-Hulwor
treaty at ihe close of the Meaiean war
for the benefit of California. At that
time it was feared that an Inter-ocean-Ic
canal would pass Into other hands
than th I'nlted Stales, it was de
clared to be the object of the I'nlted
States to make a great neutral water
way for tlu world's commerce.
After the treaty had been ratltled Mr.
Morgan' report will show C.reiU Urlt
aln tried twice to have It abrogated,
but this government refused.
Concerning the effect of the Hay
rauneofote treaty on the Clayton-lUil-wer
treaty the report will show that
Great Britain Is now committed to the
surrender of all her rights of occupa
tion, fortification and colonisation of
the Nicaragua. Costa Ulcs, the Mosqui
to coast or any part of Central America
as she was under the latter treaty,
while she has at the same time relin
quished all her rights under the traty
which gave her Joint control with the
1'nited Stales In the construction and
control of the canal. Both Senators
Morgan and Davis pronoueed as ab
surd the statement recently published
th.tt the treaty we negotiated with Ni
caragua In 1S67 had the effect of abro
gating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Equally absurd, they declare, is the
statement that the Nlcarnsuan treaty
authorised fortifications, which the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty now denies.
The treaty with Nicaragua S'.n'e the
I'nlted States the right to employ the
requisite military force for the protec
tion and guarantee of the neutrality of
the canal.
EQCINOX1AL STORMS.
New England Hatng One of the Worst
Seasons In pTtars.
BOSTON. Feb. 11. The gales of the
equinox have scarcely ever exceeded In
force the storm which swept over New
England Tuesday, leaving In its wak.'
damage by flood that is almost Incalcu
lable. For 24 hours a heavy rain, after
wiping away what few traces there
were of snow and ice, brought to a cli
max the most unseasonable winter New
England has known for a great many
years. Tributary bodies of water,
which a few week ago were so low
that the almost unheard of drought In
winter was threatened, have been
changed to torrent of more threaten
ing volume than In the usual spring
freshets. From drought to flood, with
all the damage done at both extremes
to the -nanufacturlng and Ice harvest
ing Interests, Is now added the price of
replacing the bridges swept away and
In repairing railways and highways.
The most damage is reported along
the Merrimac and Connecticut rivers.
The blow was fierce along the coast,
but shipping had ample warning of the
Btorm. At Manchester, N. H.. A. H.
Jackson, a mill hand, had attempted to
Jump over a rivulet, but fell Into the
water and was washed away and
drowned.
Washouts stopped traffic on the Bos
ton & Maine main line at Nashua and
on other smaller lines.
Dispatches from various sections of
Vermont and Maine place the rainfall
at over three inches. The Connecticut
river at Bellows Falls rose nearly five
feet during the day and as most of the
smaller streams are running wild, a
further rise of six to eight feet Is
looked for by noon tomorrow. In the
Champlain valley rain has lasted near
ly .1ve days, so that the after effects
are expected to be more serious than
now appears. At North Adams, Mass.,
the Hooslck river is higher than for
any time for three years, several mills
having their lower floors flooded.
The great pressure of water at the
temporary dam of the Metropolitan
water board at Clinton which supplies
the Boston district, Is so great that the
workmen are preparing for emergen
cies. Along the Kennebec river In Maine
the Ice !s so weak that it is likely to
break up, and with the ice go all pros
pects for a harvest this season.
From all points comes reports of
heavy damage to mill property and the
destruction of small bridges by Ice
Jams.

But Old Sam Beaswlck Died In a Char
itable Institution.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-U was learned
today that Sam Beaswlck, an old and
well-known character on the board of
trade, died Sunday afternoon, a charity
patient in the Baptist hospital, and his
death was attended by a queer discov
ery on the part of the hospital authori
ties. His old and tattered clothing was
found literally lined with gold and sil
ver coin, and sewed behind an Inner
vest pocket fifteen SlOO bills were found.
Among the bills was a slip -if paper on
which was scribbled "Put In Wj6.
It was found after Beaswlck's cloth
ing waa ripped to pieces In the hospital
that the old man was worth WM, Of
this amou'it $203J in currency was
found hidden away In the linings of
h!s coat and vest. Bonds and real es
tate mortgages thought to be worth
about ?3VK), were discovered sewed In
side of a leather pocket book that was
stitched to the lining of his coat. A
long narrow leather purse containing
about !2(ia In gold and silver was ripped
out of his coat collar. The money had
been In there so long that the silver
had become tarrlwhed and the friction
of the coins had worn the gold ones al
most smooth. Then In various places
in the lining and in the corners of the
pocket single pieces of money were
found hidden away.
Beaswlck was about 60 years of age.

League of American Vhvlmen will be

sembly may lust until Saturday, as
there la considerable business to be
tmnsncted. Today will be given up to
good roads discussion. It Is expected
that there will be no regular meeting of
the j,;Kl mads enthusiasts, but merely
an informal gathering. Tomorrow
there will be the usual discussion over

slon will come out It Is difficult to pre

probability that there will be any op
