THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1903. VOTING ON TREATY Senate Rejects Many Demo cratic Amendments. THE SPEECHES ARE CUT SHORT Senntora for Once Condense Tkeir Eloonence Into Fifteen Minutes Each and Get Down to Bnsl seas Debate on Control. Tho Senate yesterday bean votins on proposed amendments to the Panama Canal treaty. It rejected tbem. The first vote -was on a motion that tic treaty should not take Sect until Congress had approved It. the design being to secure approval of a lease In place of ownership. An amendment by Bacon providing absolute control of the canal zone by the United States caused debate. The Senate trill continue voting on amendments today, and may reach a final vote. "WASHINGTON, March 16. The Senate spent six solid hours In executive session today in its efforts to pass on the amend ments to the Panama Canal treaty, in preparation for the final vote on the treaty tomorrow. The greater part of the day was devoted to debate on the mat ter of Insuring American defense of the canal, the Democrats contending that the United States should be given the initia tive In that respect and the Republicans urging that the interests of this country are fully safeguarded by the terms of the treaty as it stands. A substitute for the provision placing the defense of the canal primarily in the hands of the Government of Colombia resulted in a test vote. As a result of their frequent conferences since Senator Gorman's assumption of leader ship, the Democrats cast a solid vote in support of the amendment, the Republi cans voting as solidly against It. The vote was 24 for the Democratic amend ment to 46 against it. During the day Senator Morgan offered a number of his amendments, but none of them received more than 10 or 12 votes. The treaty will be ratified tomorrow by a very large majority and without amendment. On the final ballot many of the Democratic Senators will vote for it. PartleM Rally Force. Immediately after the Senate went Into executive session today the order for presentation of amendments with 15-mln-ute speeches on them went Into effect. There was a large attendance of Sen ators, both political parties having sum moned their adherents in the Senate to be present with the view or making the best showing in case of a division on party lines. Consequently the roll calls of the day were well responded to and the vote cast was larger than had been expected. The first vote was taken about 40 min utes after the doors were closed, and It came upon an amendment suggested by Senator Pettus, providing that the treaty should not go into effect until it should be approved by Congress. This amend ment was voted down by a large majority, all of the Republicans and some of the Democrats enrolling themselves awalnst It. The amendment was in langusgp of tho amendment of similar purport to be added to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. In offering it Pettus made' a brief state ment giving his reasons for the amend ment, which were found in the fact that tho provisions of the treaty for the ac quisition of tho canal zone da not corre spond with the provisions of tho law un der which the treaty was made. In the law the provision Is for the ownership of the zone, while tho treaty provides for a lease to be renewed perpetually. The vote on tho amendment resulted 9 for to 00 against. Morgan Amendments Foil. Following the announcement of that bal lot. Senator Morgan offered a number of amendments, of which he has given no tice, but they were passed on adversely and without roll calls. One of these amendments was the declaration to the effect that nothing contained in the treaty should be construed as invalidating the Spooner act. Another provided for tho submission of the treaty to the French government as a party interested in the treaty. Senator Morgan offered in turn each of tho amendments of which he had previ ously given notice. The first of these, re quiring the approval of France, pertained to the first article, and related only to tho sale of the Panama Railroad Company. This was voted down by a large major ity, but as no roll was called, the majority against was not recorded. His other amendments to the article, providing for the reversion of the railroad land3 outside of the zone to Colombia, and confirming Colombia's reservation of shares in the new Panama Canal, in accordance with the contract of 3B90. met with a like fate. There was only slight discussion of tne amendments, but Morgan explained most of them to some extent; At one time the Senate presented a somewhat vacant ap pearance, which caused Morgan to make the point of no quorum, with the result that a large number of Senators were called Into tho chamber. Slxty-nlno an swered to their names, and business pro ceeded. The second roll call of tho day was upon an amendment offered by Morgan pro viding for tho acquisition of the canal zone In perpetuity, and not by lease to ho renewed after 99 years, as provided in the treaty. It was voted down. Debate on Absolute Control. Tho Senate then took up Bacon's amend ment for the absolute control of the United States, and Bacon addressed the Senate In support of it. Bacon was followed by other Democratic Senators, all favoring xne uacon amendment. They were Tel ler, Clay, Mallop-, Morgan. Blackburn and Carznack. For the Republicans, Piatt of Connecticut. Allison. Cullom and Lodge opposed the amendment. The Democrats cxrressed the opinion that before Its com pletion it would cost not less than $303, 000.000, and declared that so vast a sum should not be 6pent by this country with out providing for the absoluto and un conditional right to police, control and de fend the canal. Tho Republican Senators warmly de fended the treaty as it stands, contending tthat It affords ample protection to Ameri can interests. With a canal built by the United States and under the control of this country, they said. Colombia would bo compelled to defend it, but if that coun try should find herself incapable of per forming the task, then under the terms of the treaty she would be compelled to call on the United States for assistance. More over, In case of emergency, the United States could go to the defense of the canal without waiting for a call from Colombia, and they dwelt on tho wide scope of this privilege, asserting that in it were found guarantees of American protection that could bo reasonably demanded. During the discussion some of the Demo cratic Senators called attention to the in stability of many of the Central and South American republics, and urged that on this account it would be necessary for the Unitdd States to "be constantly on the spot with Its means of protection. The Republicans replied that all of the people of all parties in the South and Central American countries have sufficient re spect for the United States to Insure the protection of its property, whatever the party In power. The Bacon amendment, when put to a vote, was lost, 46 to 24, a strict party vote. Teller thereupon offered an amend ment retaining the language of article 23 as It stands, except the words "with the consent of Colombia," in the provision permitting the Intervention of the United States In case Colombia should prove tin equal to the task of defending the canal, but it likewise was voted down, 46 to 24. Tho Senate then, at 6:05 o'clock, ad journed until tomorrow at 11 o'clock, with the understanding that the other Demo cratic caucus amendment that to article 4 should be disposed of first.

It Was en Verse of Passing When Opposition Arose H. H. Hasaa Stirred Up Movement. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 36. The members of the Senate finance committee, who were inter ested In having the Aldrich financial bill passed, believe that the bill was defeated, not becabso the Democrats were dis please at the action of some of the Re pu oilcans in opposing the admission of new states, but that the men who were Interested la the Fowler and other cur rency measures of the House formulated the opposition, which prevented a vote on the Aldrich bill. It Is pointed out that one day, when the bill was about to pass. Sen ator Blackburn made objection, saying he wanted to look into it. This set the ball rolling and the next time the bill was called up some of the other Senators made objections and finally a very large-sized revolt was started. Aldrich stated in the debate that the only banker he had heard from in regard to the bill was opposed to it, while several bankers In Chicago tele graphed the Illinois Senators to oppose the measure. A story was published In New York saying that the propaganda that has been advocating currency legislation, and which is In the employ of H. H. Hanna, is re sponsible for the defeat of tlje Aldrich bllL It la claimed In this article that Hanna, being the agent of the famous In dianapolis monetary conference, has reg ularly employed through that agency a bureau In Washington to forward cur rency legislation and that the Fowler and similar bills are the result of that propa ganda. It is claimed that, as soon as tho Aldrich bill was proposed, it was first held up and then many newspaper articles were instigated in opposition and that quite a large public opinion was worked up against uie Aldrich measure, which forced its defeat. Of course, It Is well known that there has been in Washington on organization furnishing literary matter to newspapers througnuut the country in the interest of currency legislation and it is under the general direction of H. H. Hanna. The currency legislation, which is advocated by this bureau, ihas generally been proposed in the House and no financial measure has been presented in tho Senate. The Al drich bill is the first measure that hod any serious backing In tho Senate and, while it might have passed the House, if there had been a voto upon it, it was known to be somewhat unsatisfactory to Fowler, Hill and o triers, who have been urging for several years legislation some what on the lines of the Indianapolis conference.

(Continued from First Pae.) Is likewise extremely sad, and so also with record to the other islands where deaths occurred. It is likely that one fifth of the entire population of the Tuamotu group succumbed. In Danger of Starvation. To aid the Injured, a temporary hospital was constructed and Dr. Brunatl, acting administrator of the group, rendered med ical aid. From the debris were secured tins containing foodstuff, but there was naturally a scarcity of such as was not spoiled. A small sunply had been taken to the highest ground from the store of a trader, who paid the transporters at the rate of SS per hour. The cocoanuts were soon exhausted. To eat fish out of the sea or lagoon would doubtless have been suicidal, considering the danger from poison, as there were hundreds of corpses floating about in the water and upon which the fish were prayins. Fr.om drink ing brackish waters the natives became aflllcted with dysentery. Of the 66 sail boats, all but one or two had been totally destroyed, and these could not bo sent to Tahiti, a distance of nearly 400 miles. About 1000 survivors were In danger of WOODARD, CLARKE & CO- COMMENCING THIS MORNING AND CONTINUING FOR TEN DAYS WE PLACE BEFORE THE PUBLIC A SELECTED AND LARGE ASSORTMENT OF VARIOUS POPULAR AND STANDARD MAKES OF STERLING SILVERS AT Sterling Silver Tooth Brushes, Nail Brushes, Nail Files, Cuticle Knives, Let ter Seals, Stamp Moisteners, Paper Cutters, Letter Openers, Shoe Hooks, Shoe Horns, Curl ing Irons, Blotters.

Shelterless, nude, weak and dis couraged, it Is not to be wondered at that a few of the natives became looters of their neighbors' goods. However, orf. the whole, the order was commendable. It Is to the. lasting credit of the Ameri cans that the relief from thirst came in the form of condensed water. Mr. Gilbert secured the consent of Dr. Brunatr to dis till water. The administrator was at first skeptical, but. having refused consent, he was given a small quantity of fresh water from .a miniature condenser constructed by Mr. Gilbert. Straightway the doubt vanished and he placed Mr. Gilbert in charge of a party to search for suitable material for a condenser on a large scale. At length two tanks and same frames of an Iron bed for tubes and some tubs were selected. With this primitive machinery 200 gallons of fresh water were distilled daily for eeverai days. Mr. Sheffield suf fered from an attack of blood poison, due. to his labor In preparing corpses for burial. He narrowly escaped death. Mcaanrcn of Relief. The stench of HIkuera and the destruc tion of all buildings and the lack'of food rendered it a dangerous place for further residence. About nine days after the dis aster as many of the people as could be taken were sent away on the steamer Excelsior to other Islands of the group, or to Tahiti. Others followed on the Durance and Zelee. To relieve the natlveo, who have sus tained losses aggregating $500,000 gold, the government has ordered a subscription to be taken In this colony, In which France Is expected to Join. "With tho money raised it Is understood that diving machines will be purchased and given to the destitute survivors. Machine diving will be al lowed during a year or more on several islands which have been clceed hitherto to machine operations.
