The ItKpobll can KonatorUl committee on order of buaineat thia afternoon decided that tbe lilp-nihaidjr bill ahoul'l diaplaca the Hpooner I'lulipjiine bill m the unflniahed bnaineaa. It alao conaidered at tho lame time the diapoaition of ths Uay-l'auiae-foUs treaty, and decidm that that ques tion should receive Alternate attention with the shipping bill. The arrangement provide that the shipping bill shall have preference, bat that when no one is pre pared to make speech on it the eeriaw hall go into executive session for the consideration of the treaty. In accordance Kith this understanding, Hen a tor r rye, at the first opportunity to morrow, will move to take up tbe bill, and if this motion prevails, a there is little doubt it will, the effect will be to displace tbe Hpooner bill, which there is no disposition at thia lirue to press. Woo alor Frye probably will make a speech. It is not expected that any one other sen a tor will be prepared to proceed on the subsidy measure, aud in that event Sen ator Lodge, of the committee on foreign relations, who will have charge of the treaty, will move an executive eeeaion in order to consider the treaty. Tbe ar rangement further provides that if the army bill reaches the senate prior to tbe disioal of tbe shipping bill or the treaty, or either, both of these may be displaced temporarily in order to permit the prompt considerstion of that measure, which is considered to be of more press ing importance than either ol the other questions. The same understanding pre vails regarding the appropriation bills. Senator Morgan's Nicaragua canal bill received some consideration at the hands of tbe committee on order of business. While no definite agreement was reached concerning it, the opinion was generally ex preened that it ebould wait npon the senate'a action on the treaty. The mem bers of the committee apparently ton- jsider that the ratinYation of the treaty is a net'eaeary preliminary to the pasDag of the canal bill, and the present dispo sition is to contend for that order of pre cedence. The committee lira discussed the pos sibility of democratic oppoaition to the subsidy bill. Some of the members who bad talked with democratic senators ex pressed the opinion that there would be no effort to prevent this leginlalion by factional opposition, though they expect 'number of speeches against it. Sen I ator Lodge was called Into the conference lor the purpoee of consultation concern ing the treaty. He Hated that be would be prepared to proceed with it at any time, and that be was anxious to bare it din posed of at as early a day as possible. Washinoton, Dec. 4. Tbe report of the Isthmian Can Commission, sub mitted by the president to congress to day, gives as the unanimous conclusion of that body that "the most practicable and feasible route for an isthmian canal under the control, managemennt aud ownership of the United States is that known as the Nicaragua Route." The commission estimates the cost of this canal at 2O0,54O,0OO. This estimate is much in. excess of any heretofore made and is due to increased dimensions and other features not heretofore con sidered. The commiseion also estima tes the cost ot a canal by the Panama route at $14:2,342,67!), according to one route, or 150,S78,253 according to another route. As between the Nicaragua and Panama routes, the cotumtf siun sums up a niim bei of advantages favorable to the for mer. It states also that under the con cessions given by the government of Col umbia to the Panama Canal Company j that government is not free to grant the necessary rights tg the United States except upon conditions made by tbe company. Tbe report is a document of about 17,00 words, almost as long as the presi dent's message. Although the work of the commission is not yet completed, many of the field parties still being out, yet it has been sulliciently advised to make it practicable to present this pre liminary report giving the essential findings. HOW THE WOHK WAS DONE. Itobbiirs Counted on Hiivlng Plenty Time for Tlielr Job. of Silvkrton, Or., Dec. 3. Dynamite used by robbers to open a burglar-proof safe wrecked the Silverton bank, at an early hour this morning, and aroused the inhabitants. Tbe cashier, who heard the report, rushed to the bank in time to be shot st by one of the fleeing robbers, localise of the interruption, the robbers did not have time to secure any booty. They were tracked outside of the town to a point on the railroad. Tbe bank is a complete wreck, tbe damage probably reaching $2700. Tbe force of the shock blew the outer door of the safe off Its binges, mined the bank furniture, smashed two large plate-glass windows, valued at T2rj0, and blew frag ments of the safe clear across the street. Among the first of the citizens to reach the bank was tbe cashier. lie saw the two men, and got near enough to one to order him to halt. For reply the robber sent a bullet In the direction of the cah ler. Tbe cashier ran back to bis room to get bis revolver, but the men had made good their escape, so far as Imme diate capture was concerned. Owing to the darkens, a description bf the man who shot at the cashier was not obtained. From the appearance of the tracks, how ever, 11 is mown that one ol the men wore rubber boots, and the other ordi nary shoes. Tbe men gained entrance to the bank by picking tbe lock of the door leading into the side entrance. Their plans were Isid very csrefully, but they evidently did not count upon the dynamite raising such a rscket as to arouse the whole town, or opon tbe fact that the inside door of the safe would withstand the 1 1 m . . .. M shuck, 4 lie rope sitacnea 10 me nre 111 bad been cut and tbe pieces hid, so that 00 00s could arouse the town by a general alarm. Tbe dynamite, however, answered the same purpose. There is no doubt that the robbers fig ured npon using enough dynamite to blow the safe to pieces, and grabbing whatever money they could get their bands npon and getting away before the report of the shock should arouse the people. The aa'e is a burglar-proof steel with a time lock. Ko holes were drilled in order to insert the charges of dyna mite, which were placed in the crack about the door. Tbe outer door was badly smashed, and tbe inside one so bad lv wienched that the combination will not work, and the services of an ex pert will be needed before it can be opened. cut ELECTION. G.

I Saah I. Dee on Makes a State ment That Jealousy Was Not the Cause. Wm. Beeson, of Shnbel, in com pan with bis daughter Miss Sarah L. Beeson, arrived Monday from the recent Jacksonville tragedy. Miss Beeson state that she and L. J. Ilardebrook now deceased, had arranged to be mar ried tbe Saturday before tbe tragedy oc curred but that owing to Hardenbrook'a failure to procure a license tbe marriage was put on till Monday following, and that Traylor the assassin and suicidal had not been informed of the postpone me.nt. She states tnrther that on Satur day night, she and Hardenbrook were sitting in a room of the bouse with ber sister and Traylor, ber sister's hnsband, sitting in a room adjoining from which a door opened on to a porch outside and that Hardenbrook bsd ju't consulted his watch, and found it to be 10 :60 p. in. at which time, without warning to bis wile or any one, Traylor stepped out on to the porch and through a window firttd his rifle with the intention, Mine Beeson. thinks, of shooting both Hardenbrook and herself, with 'he one shot; and at the sound of the rifle Hardenbrook fell forwsrd toward Miss Beeson grasping her hand bnt was nnable to utter a word the ball entering his face near the eye causing death in a brief time, that with in a few minutes afterwards, two more shots were heard in outbuilding and t he member of the family wbo bad retired being aroused by the disturbance ran out to find Traylor with two shots in his face done by himself, from effect of which he died within an hour. Misa Beeson. knows of no dispute or peronal trouble of any kind leading np to tbe tragedy and states that Hardenbrook though warned by friends, of Traylor' threats to take bis life, still felt himself in no danger. Miss Beeson believes Traylor was im pelled to take Uardenbrook'a life eolely by an insane overpowering imagination that Hardenbrook was insincere in bis addresses to ber and was making im proper proposals of marriage and that Traylor was not in any manner jealous of her as has been heretofore published. She knew there was no reasonable foun dation for Traylor' objection to the mar riage aud is satisfied that the jury was . correct in deciding that the shooting was. the result of homicidal insanity.
