Plymouth Monument Defaced.
PLYMOUTH. Mass.. Dec. 13 The can
1 opy over Plymouth Rock has been de
faced by vandals. The act. to all np
penranccs, was deliberately done. This
canopy is of granite, 15x15 feet and 30
feet high, and is built in the form of
four piers, with arched onenlntrs. and
j surmounted by a granite roof. The square
j stonea on either side of the western en-
trance are bruised, and the angles broken
off. while marks of other hammering are
plain on various parts of the base. A
reward has been qffered by the Pilgrim
Society for the. detection of the vandals.
To make perfect repairs on the canopy
the entire structure may. have to be re
built. , -

Speech, for the Ship
Subsidy Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec 13 In accordance
with a previous agreement, the Senate,
in executive session, took a vote at 3
o'clock today on the amendment to the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty authorizing the
United States to defend Its interests In
the canal. The Senate did not close its
doors until 2 o'clock, and there was then
left only one hour's time for discussion
of the provisions of the amendment. The
vote was taken by ayes and noes, 65
votes being cast in favor of the amend
ment and 17 against It. The negative
votes are as follows:
Ba'rd. Mason, Stewart,
Beveridge, McEnery, Tillman,
Frye. McBrlde. "Wellington,
Foster. McCumber, Wolcott,
Hansbrougb, Morgan, Galllnger.
Lindsay. r Money,
After the amendment offered by tho
committee was passed upon, various
other amendments received the attention
of the Senate for a brief time, but none
of them was acted upon. The committee
amendment, which was adopted, is a pro
visoln to be Inserted after section 5, ar
ticle 2, of the treaty, and is as follows:
"It Is agreed, however, that none of
the Immediately foregoing, conditions and
stipulations In sections Nos. 1. 2, 3, 4 and
5 of this article shall apply to measures
which the United States may And It nec
essary to take for securing by Its own
forces the defense of the United States
and the maintenance of public order."
The committee amendment no sooner
had been adopted than various Senators
took the floor to suggest further amend
ments. The amendment which probably
attracted most attention was offered by
Elkins (Rep. W. Va.), and is as follows:
"Nothing m this treaty shall be con
strued to prevent tho United States from
acquiring sufficient security and sover
eignty, or to prevent it from building,
operating, maintaining, controlling and
defending said canal (referring to the pro
posed Nicaragua Canal), or for any other
purpose that the United States may deem
for its best interest."
Other Amendments.
Other amendments were suggested by
Tillman Pern. S. CO, Allen (Pop. Neb.).
Money (Dem. Miss.), and Thurston (Rep.
Neb.). Thurston's suggestion provides
that the United States may defend the
canal, and Tillman's makes the committee
amendment adopted-today.applyUx.all the
"provisions of article "2. This -would have
the effect, it is believed, of nullifying
the provision of section 7 of the article
providing against the fortification of tho
canal. Other amendments were offered
striking out sections 3 and 7 of article 2.
Teller (SIL CoL) said that If Elkins
amendment should be adopted, he would
not press his amendment for the modifi
cation of section 7 so as to omit provis
ion against the fortification of the canal.
Lodge (Rep. Mass.), in charge of the
bill, was not slow to recognize the futil
ity of trying to secure further considera
tion for the treaty as amended during to
day's session, and. as soon asr the amend
ments were submitted, ho moved an ad
journment until tomorrow, which motion
prevailed.
Previous to taking a vote on the amend
ments, Elkins occupied the greater por
tion of the Senate's time with a speech
advocating radical, alteration of .the
treaty. He announced himself as favora
ble to the committee amendment, but
said that, to his mind, the amendment
did not go far enough to meet the wishes
of the American people. He believed, he
said, that it the canal were to be con
structed by the Government, the United
States would demand complete and abso
lute control over the canal Itself, and also
the right to exercise Its own judgment,
as a Nation, not only In acquiring prop
erty In connection with the ranal, but. If
need be. In securing sovereignty over It.
He contended that to pursue this course
Involved no violation of International
rights, and. In defense of this position,
said the United States had made an of
fensive and defensive treaty with France
In 1793, and soon afterwards had repudi
ated that obligation. He also cited other
precedents and authorities, some of them
being from English sources. In support
of this position. He argued, In short, that
changed conditions warrant a change In
conduct and In position. The speech was
listened to with much Interest, and at its
conclusion a motion was made to have It
made public. Objection, however, was
raised, and the order was not made..
After the Senate adjourned for the day
the Republican committee on order of
business held a session to decide upon the
future line of action with reference to
the treaty as amended. After this com
mittee had concluded its conference
Lodge, whp was with the committee,
stated that the Senate would proceed with
the treaty, and he would continue his ef
forts to have It ratified.
Uanna on the Subsidy BUI.
Fairbanks (Rep., Ind.), In the open ses
sion, offered a joint resolution from the
committee on" public buildings and
grounds, directing the appointment by tho
President of the Senate of three members
of that committee and by tho Speaker of
the House of five members of the same
committee of the House, to constitute a
Joint commission to ascertain a feasible
location "for .and the probable cost of a
hall of records to be located In the Dis
trict of Columbia. The resolution was
adopted. i
At the conclusion of the routine busi
ness Hanna (Rep., O.) was recognized.
His .speech was In a sense a reply to
that delivered a few days ago by Clay
(Deim, Ga.). Like 0 Clay. Hanna is a
member of the committee on commerce,
from which the measure now pending
was reported to the Senate. In opening
his address, Hanna said that the re
marks of Clay had brought Into question
the motives of those who had assisted
in the preparation of the pending meas
ure. As a member ofi the maritime com
mittee on commerce, Hanna said he felt
it his right and duty to explain the work
of those committees.
"For myself." he declared. "I resent
the Imputation that any other- motive
than those of Interest in our country, and
good public policy actuated the com
mittees." Clay Interrupted Hanna to disclaim any
such-Imputation.
Taking up the bill. Hanna said the
pending measure was believed to be the
most practical legislation that could be
enacted upon the subject. He then
sketched rapidly the rise of the shipping
Industry of the Great Lakes. He had.
KJIrI- V ' I 3
The stranded hart Toltalloch Wrtstltfg easy well Inside of the breakers, and is lying In anch a. position that many who have ex
amined her believe that she can ba hauled Into deep water in WUlapa. .Harbor. It Is thought Impossible taever tako her otit bythe
route- by which she entered, She is-uninjured, and Captain Thompson, of Victoria, is at tho sceno of the-stranding waiting word
from, the underwriters as to the manner of proceeding to float her. - .
he said, been connected with that indus
try for nearly 40 years, and bad seen It
grow from a comparatively insignificant
beginning to its present condition of un
paralleled greatness. He recalled the
time nearly a third of a century ago when
the ship Escanaba carried COO tons of iron
ore from Escanaba to Cleveland. Today,
he said, there were steamers on the
Great Lakes which were carrying 6000
gross tons in one cargo. He maintained
that this great shipping Industry on tho
lakes had been fostered and protected by
salutary and wise navigation laws. To
the advantage of these laws were added
the liberal appropriations made by Con
gress for the Improvement of the harbors
of the Great Lakes.
Hanna maintained that In order to
build up the American merchant marine it
was necessary to have not only capital
and experience, but It was necessary like
wise "to afford our foreign carrying trade
protection some kind of Inducement by
law. If this protection should be afford
ed, tho growth of the American merchant
marine would be on a par with the growth
of the shipping industry on the Great
Lakes."
Discussing the rise and fall of
the American merchant marine, Han
na declared that tho beginning of the
decline in the Industry was coincident
with the outbreak of the Civil "War.
Vest (Dem., Mo.) interrupted the Ohio
Senator to challenge his statement that
the Civil "War caused the decline of ship
ping. He declared the decline had begun
as far back as 1S55. In. response to Vest's
challenge, Hanna reviewed the history of
the American merchant marine from the
establishment of the Nation to the pres
ent time. He maintained that the de
cadence in American shipping begun In
1SG0. and not in 1S55, as the Missouri Sen
ator had asserted.
Growth of Sea Porrer.
He declared in the circumstances there
was not today a question so Important to
the maritime nations of the old world
as the prevention of American compe
tition on the high seas. The foreign com
merce of the United States is four times
larger today than it was in 1S60, and
yet the proportion of tho foreign carrying
trade is less than one-third what it was
in 1SG0. This, said he. la a most humiliat
ing decline of the great National indus
try. He added:
"There Is no popular question which
appeals so strongly to the American peo
ple as does this one of building up the
sea power of the Nation, It Is a simple
question of business as affecting the In
vestment of capital, although there Is a
phase of it that appeals to the patriotism
of the American people."
Adverting to the amount of the subsidy
which would be drawn by the vessels
of the American International Navigation
Company, Hanna said he did not propose
to evade any of the slanders or calumnies
of anybody In connection with this mat
ter. He declared that the four ships of
the American line which are carriers of
mall had not made a net dollar since
they came under the American flag. Ho
challenged the assertion of Clay that
each of the fast vessels of the American
lino would drjiw 504,050 annually from
the proposed subsidy.
Clay directed the Ohio Senator's atten
tion to the testimony of Mr. Clyde, a
steamship owner, before the commerce
commission.
"I am not using Mr. Clyde's figures,"
replied Hanna, "but my own." l
Thereupon1. Vest called attention to the
fact that Mr." Chamberlain, the Commis
sioner of -Navigation, and on- of tho
strongest advocates of the pending meas
use. alsohad said the American -line ves
sels would receive $201,090 annually from
the subsidy.

IT MAY PASS TODAY
DEBATE OX "WAR. -TAX BILL "WILL
CLOSE THIS AFTERNOON.
Bartholdt of Missouri Will Introduce
an Amendment That the Tax on.
Beer Be Tteduced to SI SO
Per BarreL
"WASHINGTON, Dec 13. The debate
upon the war revenue reduction bill was
continued in the House today. It was
dull and featureless. Those who spoke
were Grosvenor (Rep. O.), Barthold (Rep.
Mo.), Hill (Rep. Conn.), Boutell (Rep.
111.), McClellan (Dem. N. Y.), Newlands
(Sil. Nev.), Levy (Dem. N. X.), and Un
derwood (Dem. Ala.). Barthold criti
cised the action of the ways and means
committee In not making a deeper cut
in tho tax on beer, and gave notice that
he would offer an amendment to reduce
it to 51 50 per barrel. General debate
upon the bill will close at 2 o'clock to
morrow, and Payne, the floor leader of
the majority, expects tho bill to pass be
fore adjournment tomorrow. The House
today adopted a resolution for a hollday
recess from Friday, December 21. to
Thursday. January 3, 1901.
McClellan, a member of the ways and
means committee, was the first speaker
today. He regretted that the present
measure did not reform the whole scheme
of International taxation. Our present
system, hesald, was the outgrowth of
the Civil "War. He argued that there
should bo a balance In the budget. There
was no necessity for a surplus. "With a
scientific system of taxation the rates
could tte either lowered or raised very
nearly to meet tho appropriations. A
correct scheme of taxation would Include
a progressive legacy tax and a progres
sive tax on certain occupations, and an
Indirect tax on distilled spirits, beer and
tobacco, at a rate somewhat below the
maximum revenue-raising point.
Grosvenor recalled the statement of
Cleveland that unnecessary taxation was
unjust taxation. He planted himself, he
said, upon that doctrine, and proceeded
to argue that the pending bill was framed
on It. The Republican party, he said,
while In power had never shown a deficit
of the treasury. "When questioned about
the old story that ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Foster was preparing to issue
bonds Just before the Cleveland adminis
tration came Into power, Grosvenor said
that the bonds were orcered prepared
after consultation with Senator, after--ward
Secretary, Carlisle. Subsequently,
Carlisle changed his mind and the prepa
rations were discontinued.
"Wheeler (Dem. Ky.) asked for Gros
venor's authority for this statement.
"Mr. Foster," replied Grosvenor, "has
made the statement over and over again,
and Mr. Carlisle has never denied It."
'Mr. Carlisle," said "Wheeler, "has re
peatedly stated that he knew nothing
about the proposition to issue bonds."
Newlands said that Justification for the
retention o If any features of the war rev
enue act rested upon the fact that an
other war had followed the -Spanish "War.
The Spanish "War had been fought in
vindication of the rights of man, for free
government, and to free a people from
oppression. The present war was for the
purpose of suppressing the aspiration of
a people for Independence. "While the
minority protested against- this war. It
realized that, as the result of the recent
election, the present policy of the Ad
ministration would continue, with its
train of expenses. Newlands then, pro-J
ceeded to argue that the proposed' reduc
tion In taxation was not sufficient; that
even with the estlmaed extraordinary ex
penses, a much deeper cut could be
made. Speaking of the general principles
of taxation, Newlands argued that the
taxes now levied on bank capital and
stock' should be extended to all great In
dustrial combinations, and that such cor
porations should be required to make
complete statements regarding their capi
tal, earnings, salaries, etc;
Levy figured that the pending bill did
not go far enough. He was In favor of
wiping out surplus revenues.
Underwood said the present was an op
portune time for an equitable adjustment
of the burdens of taxation so that one
interest should not be unduly oppressed.
Had he the power, he said, he would
discriminate, if there was to be discrimi
nation, against the ldie holders of Idle
wealth, not against productive wealth
and enterprise. In the pending bill, un
productive wealth was absolutely un
taxed. Barthold argued that the result of the
oppressive tax on beer had seriously de
pressed not only the bre-wlng Industry,
but all -allied interests.
Boutell also criticised the bill. He dis
liked It, he said, not so much for what
It did -as for what It failed td do. He
recalled the words of the Republican
leaders when the wat- revenue act was
passed, to the effect that It was strictly
a war measure and would be repealed
when the war was over. To keep faith
with the people, the pledge then made
should be redeemed. He thought this
could be done by abolishing one-third
now, one-third July 1, 1901, and one-third
January 1. 1902. Boutell said If his views
did not prevail, he would vote for tho
bill.
The committee then arose, and at 5:11
o'clock the House adjourned.

"Topeka, Kan., Dec 13. To Hon. Fran

Colo.: Have given your suggestion of
12th most careful consideration, and re
gret that circumstances preclude com
pliance with your suggestion. The strik

our lines In Colorado did not strike be
cause of any grievance against the com
pany. On the contrary, by the course
they pursued they violated their obliga

part have been fully lived up to in every
respect. The company has not charged
the strikers with committing outrages on
employes. The public and the authorities
of law must judge as to who Is guilty.
Under the circumstances, it is manifest
that the time for arbitration has passed."

The following proclamation by General
Louis Botha has been received:
"Whereas, I have been informed that

and lying reports among the burghers
about the government and myself, our
officers and officials are charged to com

Council, after consulting the President of

the interests of our cause to give leave
of absence to our State President, with
orders to go immediately to Europe In
order to assist our deputation there la

ways by a strong voice Induce every
burgher to fight for liberty. "We have
nothing left to lose, dui everything to
win. The government Is most firmly de
cided to continue the struggle. I ain
convinced the burghers will applaud this
decision and act accordingly until tha
end. Burghers are warned against tha
fine words used by the enemy to deceive
them and to make them put down their
arms, because, according' to the procla
mation of Roberts, they will all be trans
ported to St. Helena or Ceylon as pris
oners of war. Our cause, however pre
carious, Is not hopeless If every burgher
only does his duty. The Lord Is sun
