THE CAM TREATY
Some Senators Object to It as
K Now Stands.
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
One ! Abreeatles ef the "Whole of
the Oiayten-Bulvvor Treaty An-
other Geneora Fortification.
WASKDfOTOX, Fab. 7. The senate
roiitnlttoe en foreign relatione met today
to consider the Nicaragua oanal treaty.
The discussion was animated, but, while
jme opposition was manifested. It was
j ot meh a character as to Indicate the
d ' at of the treaty, but that It would be
an- nded there mom to be little doubt.
n of tbe amendments proposed is that
ivi whole Ctayton-Bulwer treaty shall be
abrogated. It is said b- members of the
tim'ttee favoring thir change that there
Je, ( j need of keeping alive any portion of
:(- old treaty. Another change suggested
is regard to the protection of the canal.
T treaty declares there shall be no for
t" atlons, and It Is said this will pre
r t the United States from erecting bat
t r t which are by some considered ab-
utely neceaaary. la view ef the lnsur
" mnn that occar from time to time In
h uth American countries. It Ss possible
"at this language will be modified so
t uh protection as the United States
mi neceaaary will be afforded along the
route of the oanaL
N.arly tbe entire time of the committee
n hc consumed la listening to an elaborate
r 'ment from Senator Morgan, who 'a
th roughly familiar with the subject of
the canal proposition and all treaties af-
f r r-ti ng it. There was little or no oxpros-1
e ou of opinion from other senators, save
that it was a very Important subject, and
would need careful consideration.
OPPMD TO ANY CHANGE.
State Department Officials Say Any
Amendment! Will Kill the Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. It is learned
thai the text of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was the work of the state department,
this government accepting the document
juxt as it was drawn, so the responsibility
for whatever is contained la the treaty
and the form in which it is expressed la
t hargeaMe entirely to the department De
partment officials are surprised at the
amount of criticism that has been directed
against the treaty, but feel confident that
It will be consummated, providing it is
not amended, espec ally as to the fortifica
tion clause. It Is insteted by the officials
that an amendment on that point would
completely defeat the treat', and it is In
tlmated that the objection will be twofold,
first from the British government, and
secondly, from the president himself. The
president Is said to regard the neutraliza
tion scheme as completely obviating the
necessity for any fortifications for the
canal, for, by the terms of that arrange
merit every one of the maritime power
will pledge Itself to nee Its army and navy,
it need be. to preserve the absolute neu
trality of the oanal, and fortifications will
be unnecessary.
SOMB OPPOSITION' IX THE SENATE.
Bat Net Bbobrth to Amend or Defeat
the Treaty.
NEW YORK. Feb. 7. A special to the
Hrald from Washington says:
Immediate ratification of the, Hay
raunoefote treaty, permitting the con
struction of an isthmian oanal by the
United States, need not be expected. Jusi
enough opposition 'has developed to tbe
provision prohlhtftng the construction ot
fortifications at the entrances to the pro
posed oanal to provoke discussion, and
thus delay action on the treaty. A care
ful canvass made of the senate boss not
Indicate, however, that this opposition, la
sufficiently strong either to secure the
adoption of -am amendment providing for
fortification or to prevent the ratification
of the treaty without such an amendment.
Leaders on both sides appear to be well
satisfied with aU the previsions of the
treaty, and ney will try to have it rati
fied without amendment.
The principal advocates of an amend
ment in favor of military defenses are
Senators Mason and Allen, who are rare
ly in sympathy with anything done by
tbe administration. When the treaty was
first read, Senator Lodge seemed to think
such an amendment was desirable, but
after conferences with other senators
jcfterday afternoon, he said the
matter should be very fully discussed be
fore either the foreign relations commit
tee or the senate took action.
Those who think defenses of the ter
mini of the canal are necessary do not
consider that permanent fortifications are
issentiaL In time of war. It is argued,
the United States could, if necessary, send
a fleet of battle-ships to each of the en
trances and thus be able physically to
force neutrality If for any reason it was
fiared It could not be morally enforced.
To those who point out that Great Britain
is physically able to control the Suez
. tnal by ner strong defenses at Gibraltar,
the answer Is made that with a naval
b tse at San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the
probable acquisition of the Danish and
Galapagos islands, the United States will
K in ae good position to offer military
resistance to any attempted violation of
the neutrality of the Nicaragua canal as
urcat Britain is connected with the Suez
i anal.
lutcMeste over the Hay-Pauncefote
tnttiy may delay somewhat final action
on the Ntcaragna. canal hill, but it Is the
oj in ion ef Messrs. Morgan, Aldrlch and
v h r leadens in the senate and Mr. Hep
burn and other loaders in the house that
It will not prevent the final passage of
the bill urns session. If the treaty Is
tauhd In Its present shape, an amend
in n r will have to he made to the pending
1 1 eliminating the provision contemplat
1) k the erection of fortifications at the
t rmini of the oanal. If any delay occurs,
it will be over these amendments.
S .mtor Morgan, the author of the pend
ing bnM in the nenats. says there is ne
n . canity for a radical amendment of the
Ha Pauncefote treaty. "There are some
m n In the senate," he said, "who would
Xiopose an amendment to the Ten Com

v.od Altnlght) himself. I do not believe

not believe there will be any."
lt preventative Hepburn, chairman of
the house caucus, in charge of the Nica
ragua caaal hill, said tonight that he did
not care to discuss the treaty and Us
bearings en the canal until he had had an
opportiMUXyte study it and determine Just
what its eMTerent provlalens meant.
There will h no change la the present

statement that views with reference lo the

thority for the statement that Secretary
Hay, before agreeing to the provls.on pro
hibiting the establishment of fortifications
at the terminals of the canal, carefully
considered the possessions of the Un.ted
States in the immediate vicinity and that
in initiating negotiations with Ecuador for
Chatham Island and with Denmark for the
Danish West Indies, he was actuated by
a desire to secure sites for naval sta
tions which would effectively control the
approaches to the canal.
No doubt Is expressed that the United
States will be able Jto secure the consent
of both Denmark and Ecuador to the
acquisition of the islands it seeks, but it
is understood this 'government is not hur

BRYAX'S CnnLING RECEPTION IX
NEW YORK.
Sticks to the Silver Question, and

Declares He Will

NEW YORK. Feb. 7. W. ,J. Bryan
'spoke tonight In Carnegie hall on "Pend
ing Problems," under the auspices of Wln
fleld Scott Hancock post, G. A. R.. for the
relief of soldiers' widows and orphans.
More than 1000 men and women paid the
price of admission. With the hope of
filling the big hall, these in the galleries
were invited downstairs. Still there were
empty seats in the auditorium, and three
galleries, were vacant. There was eome
enthusiasm, however, notwithstanding the
smallness of the audience.
Mr. Bryan entered the hall escorted by
ex-Governor Hogg, O. H. P. Belmont and
Tom L. Johnson. When he made his ap
pearance he was greeted with great cheer
ing. The Catholic Protectory band struck
up "See the Conquering Hero Comes" as
Mr. Bryan took his seat.
Mr. Bryan in the course of his speech
spoke of the strife of the civil war and
the restored harmony between the North
G. BENNETT
UNITED STATES SENATE.
and South. Then, speaking of the men
who served in the Spanish war, he said:
"I claim no credit for myself for what I
did as a soldier. I would rather not be
called by .my military title, and when I
recall the civil war, I feel ashamed to be
taken fcr a soldier. All I did was to
express a willingness, and that was done
on the day war was declared, and my
resignation was signed the day peace was
announced."
Continuing, Mr. Bryan took up one by
one the political questions of the day.
After declaring his belief In the Income
tax as a means of securing an equitable
division of the burdens of taxation, he
turned to the money question. In the
course of his remarks on this topic, Mr.
Bryan said:
"It is not a settled problem. I can
speak of a certainty now, because yester
day an amendment was presented to the
bill now before the senate. The bill pro
vldes for a gold standard, but the amend
ment provides that it shall not be so con
strued that monometallsm shall not be
possible with International agreement. So
whatever a man may have thought about
the money question being settled the day
before yesterday, he cannot say it is set
tled now. Much as I have tried to conceal
my views on this question (laughter) it
has cropped out again."
The other pending problems, those which
Mr. Bryan discussed at length were
whether the United States should have a
currency Issued by the bankers or not,
and the trust question. In explanation
of his position, the speaker said:
"I have been asked why I don't drop
the silver question and take up the trusts
entirely. Because they are the same thing,
I am not going to drop the money trust
and attack, the soap or the match trust,. I
am not going to drop the bear In order
to chase the cub. You will find that the
men who stand behind the money trust
are the same as the men who are behind
the international trusts.
"Over in South Africa," said Mr. Bryan,
"England started what she thought was
going to be a little war, and yet her
sold'ers have not reached Ladysmlth, and
God grant they never will."
This sentiment evoked the loudest ap
plause of the evening. The audience
stamped and howled and rose to Its feet
en masse. "Three cheers for Kruger"
shouted some one, and they were joined
in by almost every one In the hall.
"When I say that" continued Mr.
Bryan, "It is not because I am for any
particular country, but because I am for
(any peop'.e that are struggling for their
ireeaom ana to govern themselves. T de
nounce the cowardly doctrine of dest'ny,
which makes a man a chicken thief who
gets up near enough to grab the hen from
her roost"
The Speech at Plnlnfield.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Colonel W. J.
Bryan delivered an address in Music Hall
Plalnfield, U. J., this afternoon. Mr. Bry
an Congressman Daly, of New Jersey, and
John B. Hellman, of Plalnfield, left Jersey
City on a Jersey Central train, at noon.
They arrived at Plalnfield at 1 o'clock.
When the train reached Plalnfield, fully
1509 people were on the platform. It was
with difficulty that the way to the carriage
was cleared, Mr. Bryan being compelled
to shake hands with all who could get
near him. Preceded by a brass band, the
carriages started for the Cedarbrook farm,
the home of James E. Marline. At the
farm an informal luncheon was provided.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the party started
for Music hall, which was packed to Its
utmost capacity. There were many re
publicans In the hall, and also many gold
standard democrats. The speaker said
he had no hope of converting any man
who. In 1886, voted against free sliver
and did not know why he voted. The
man who voted against free silver and
knew why he voted that way. was a
man open to conviction. Blmetallsm, Mr.
Bryan said, was stronger today In the
West than ever before. The armies of
England had been checked by a handful
of Beers, and that was enough t6 shake
the money market What would happen,
he asked, if England had been fighting a
big nation.
At this point there was much applause,
and Mr. Bryan said: "Don't applaud that,
it's anarchy." He said he had been asked
to drop the money question. Tn rerrfv
would say he considered it the greatest
question that had ever been presented to
the American people. He would not drop
it, but would stand by all the principles
of the democratic party.
Mr. Bryan left for New York on the
4:17 train. About 2003 persons at the rail
way station cheered him as he left for the
metropolis.
Bryan's Philosophy.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.. Feb. 7. W. ,J.
Bryan said last night, after the close of
his New England campaign, during which
he addressed 45,000 people In IS cities:
"The meetings have been gratifying be
cause they show the growth of democratic
sentiments. The trend of public opinion
is away from the republican party, and
I believe that each month will emphasize
this opposition. The old men contrast
the republican party of today with the
republican party of Lincoln's day, and
cannot but note tho difference. The young
men see tho field of opportunity narrow
ing, and they realize that republican poll
tics are continually adding to the advan
tages of aggregated wealth and lessening
the chance of the young man, who has
only his own brains and his muscle to re
ly upon. It requires more than the hone
of a perpetual clerkship to stimulate the
young man to the highest endeavor."

ODDITIES OF WASHINGTON.
Pccnlnritles of the Capital
Shoivn. in Ad ertislns.
City
Nothing gives the stranger In Washing
ton a better idea of the essential difference
between the capital and all other cities of
the United States than a study of the
"want" advertisements in the dally pa
pers, says a Washington letter in the New
York Times. Surely, one would think tne
"wants" of people In any large city are
pretty much the same as In any othet,
but a blindfolded man, hearing some
Washington "ads." read In any city of th&
Union would be able to tell Instantly in
what city they were published.
The trail of the government Is over all
In this city. When you go to a stationery
store to buy note paper, you can choose
between brands bearing such names as
"Congressional" or "Capitol." When you
look In at the show window of a booK
store the books most prominently dis
played are books On politics and public
events, and It takes a second glance to find
the novels. So with the "ads." For in
stance, the "Situations Wanted" column in
New York Is confined to announcing the
availability of bookkeepers, clerks, stenog
raphers, cooks, coachmen and other pro
saic persons. Here Is the sort of "ad."
that seems to be most common In the "Sit
uation Wanted" column of the Washing
ton papers:
WANTED I WILL GIVE ANYBODY THE
flrat months salary to find me a .government
position pajinc $50 per month or more. Ad
dress a. e. h:
This is repeated over and over again
every day, in all sorts of forms. HeTe s
another version:
WANTED HUNDRED DOLLARS CASH AND
25 per cent for securing me any government
position to enable me to finish my course. Ad
dress MEDICAL STUDENT.
There does not seem to be any fixed
rate of remuneration for people engaged
In this peculiar business, as witness tne
wide difference in the following offers:
WANTED $100 FOR POSITION OF ANY
kind (not requiring an examination) In the
government; references exchanged. Address
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
WANTED I WILL GIVE 550 CASH TO ANY
one securing me a Gov't position paying $60
or more ner month. P. C. Q.
WANTED FIFTY DOLLARS WILL BE PAID
any one eecurin& me government position
census preferred paying forty dollars per
month. Address Miss A. B
Here Is one person who is willing to pay
$100 for a position "of any kind"; another
will give $50 for a $60 position, and a third
will give the same amount for one paying
only $40. All these were taken from a
single Issue of one paper, and there were
many others.
When there is an application for a posi
tion as stenographer or clerk, the adver
tisement is worded differently from what
it would be in New York or any other
city, and bears the capital water-mark as
plain as day:
WANTED-CONGRESSMAN OR SENATOR
can secure services, as clerk, or secretary, of
bright, educated, intelligent young lady; ex
perienced typewriter and correspondent.
It may seem that this "educated, intelli
gent young lady" is particular in her
tastes, since she announces that she will
play the typewriter keys for nobody of
less Importance than a "Congressman or
senator"; but this would be doing her an
Injustice, for she Is using the customary
formula In advertising for sucn a position
When a stenographer Is so careless about
the sort of employer he gets that he la
willing to work for people who have never
been elevated to the congressional dignity,
he specifies it in his advertisement, thus:
WANTED EXPERT STENOGRAPHER DE
slres Congressional or other wotk after 4 P.
M.; epeedy and accurate; terms very reason
able. T. J. LONGLEY.
Of course, this sort of advertisement la
not peculiar to stenographers. Here is a
specimen advertisement of a servant girl
who is not particular about the official po
sition of her employer:
WANTED BY NICE-LOOKING COLORED
girl, place to wait on Congressman or any
other gentleman. Address 11. M. M.
The "Help Wanted" column is similar.
When a clerk is asked for he must under
stand the pension business, or the patent
business, or some business which he would
not be expected to know outside of Wash
ington. The influence of the capital is ex
tended even over the book-agent business,
as is shown in the follpwing:
WANTED GENTLEMEN AND LADIES TO
sell "Autobiographies and Portraits of the
President Cabinet. Supreme Court and Con
gress." Contains a biography and full-page
portrait of every member of the Senate and
House of Representatives. Sells to them on
sight. THE NEALE CO.
. This advertiser is willing to make known
his confidence in the vanity and human
frailty of senators and representatives.
Another advertiser wants "Confederate
veterans" as book agents, and assures
them that they can make $100 per month.
When the real esate man wishes to make
known the attractions of hl3 suburban lots,
he dangles the United States government
before the eyes of possible purchasers:
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO CON
greas will urge the construction of the Me
morial bridge. Lots across the river are sell
ing briskly. Drop postal for new 16-page
pictorial "booklet," illustrating Fort Meyer
Heights, and "How to be your otto landlord
on $i0 a month." Carriages can call at your
door to shew tbe property, free of charge.
FULTON R. GORDON.
This kind of advertisement goes under
the head of "Business Chances."
The "For Rent" column Is equally redo
lent of the government This is the way
the "Rooms" section of this column ap
peals to the reader:
FOR RENT 2 COMMUNICATING ROOMS ON
1st floor; pleasant location; well heated: suit
able for M. C or Senator. SO K St., N. W.
opp. Mt. Vernon Square.
The tastes of congressmen are consulted
in these "ads " and this experienced ad
vertiser has evidently studied them to some
purpose, for he knows that they object
to children and the smell of cooking: .
FOR RENT A HANDSOMELY FURNISHBQ
eulte of large double parlors and bed reaaa;
half a. square from Library building arid street
cars, no children or odor of cooking In house;
ideal quarters for Member of Congress, in
spection invited, desirable table board near.
The "Personal" column In Washington
Is made up of advertisements such as the
following:
A CLERK (CLASS E.). P. O. DEFT.. WISHES
transfer with clerk in same or some other
dept Address J. I.
All this is easy to understand, but a
more perplexing question Is why peop:e
should lose so many things in Washing
ton. In New York the "Lost and Found"
column has a modest place among adver
tisements, but In Washington it Is plethoric
and obtrusive. Washington people are ev
idently careless. A still more curious thing
Is that there are fashions In losses. Thia
has been a great week for lost collar
ettes. In a single Issue of one newspaper
there were advertisements for two lost
collarettes.
Washington people are also careless
about their dogs. They seem to be always
losing dogs. The "Lost and Found" col
umns are largely made up of requests foi
the return of these animals. Not infre
quently an advertiser loses two or threo
dogs at once. One man has announced
three times this week that he has found a
black and white calf and a white cow,
and that the owner can have them If he
will take them away.
Frequently the age of the careless per
son Is mentioned or hinted at, If the person
Is youns. "A small boy" has Just an
nounced that he has lost a $2t-goId piece.
This, of course. Is an appeal to the sym
pathies of the finder, who might be tempt
ed to keep It, If he did not know that he
would get the child In trouble by dplng
sq. In the same Issue It Is made'krpwn
that "a school girl" has lost a JeVwA in
the congressional library. It Is also-,men-tloned
that she is the daughter of a naval
officer. . v

the interested thousands who have been

in too strong language when I say that
they saved my life, for it Is as true as

'Three years aco I was a complete
physical wreck. I had every symp

sweats and a terrible coush. Some
times I would cough until I railed
bright, red blood. At other times I
coughed until I vomited. My chest
was sore, with sharp, cutting pains
through the lungs. X lost flesh until
I looked like a skeleton.

I was so weak I had to lie down while

"I had consulted doctor after doctor,
and they all told me I ceuld never get
well. As a last resort I placed myself
under treatment with Drs. Copeland and
Montgomery and they cured me.
