Tho contro versy in tlio senate ovoi the voto upon tho various resolutions Interpretative of tho peace treaty took an aouto turn late today. Tho opposition to a voto first came from the friends of the treaty, who held to tlio theory that it could bo ratified without compromise. Tlioso who apparently wore then will ing that a voto should bo taken today held an opposite view, and absolutely refuse to agree to a time foi taking a voto. Tho contost occurred in tho execu tive session, which did not occur until n quarter after C o'clock. The next hour and n qiiator was spent in a vain endeavor on one side to got an agree ment to a dato for a voto upon the resolutions, and on tho other in a muro successful effort to bring the day's ses sion to n oloeo without allowing any thing to bo accomplished iti that di rection. After a general dehato on tho subject tho sonnto adjourned. DYEA AND SKAGWAY. Titer May lie Cmleit to the Dominion ol CHtinitn hy Treutjr. Washington, Feb. 0.

Foster, of Tncomn, who received 68 votes in tho ltopublicari caucus held Tuesday evening, was at 12 o'clock Wednesday elected to repre sent tho stato of Washington at the na tional capital. The nomination of Foster in tho call ous Tuesday night was brought about by the Wilson following coming over to Foster Into in tho uitornoon, Thoy signed an agreement to suppoit him in tlio caucus. To his intimate friends, Wilson stated that ho had expected support from various sections of tho stato that did not come to him, and that although ho had prom i red from day to dny that ho would make a bet ter showing, ho had to admit that ho could not bring to him support that ho had counted upon. It was then ngre-id that his men should bo released. There upon tho Foster managers opened ne gotiations to tako Wilson's men into camp, which they did veiy gracefully. HON. ADIMEOX O. FOSTER. Whon Speaker Gnio, of tho house of representatives, called tho caucus to ordor, Senator Wilshiro, of Scattlo, ropioaonting tho united King county and Ankeny forces, stated that tho ob ject of tho caucus call, under which they were operating was signed with tho understanding that the caucus, as a whole, was to solcct a man for senator, and that it was unfair for any part of tho members to organizo within tho caucus nnd decido upon tho man to bo solected.

Regarding li is position on national issuos, Mr. Foster says: "I favor what is commonly torniod tho expansion policy. Under a busi-noss-llko arrangement I favor tlio build ing of tho Nicaragua canal. I am for sound monoy nnd n thorough business man's administration of our publio affairs. I favor an opon river polioy for tho Columbia and aa n conernl I pioposition favor river and harbor im Iprovomonts of all kinds. In a word, I doslro to soo tho possibilities of tho Pnoiflo const, pnrtioulnrly of my own stnto, realized, nnd I shall do nil in my powor to ndvnnoo tho material wolfaro of Washington." JS'mr Itiillrmiil In Chlnn. A. W. IJash, who was formorly col loctoi of customs on Pugot sound, waa tho original promoter in China, of what gives promifo of being a very important enterprise. Tho moving spirit now be hind tho scheme is Stewart M. Drico. The matter includes valuable conces sions for tho American-China Develop ment Company in tho name of tho China Uailroad Company.

Item of Onnnrnl Intel-nut Oleaned From the Thriving I'ncUlo KllltOD. liitllroml Kxtftmlnn. Consldorulo excitement provaiis from Lakoviow, Lake county, Oregon, all j along tho lino to Iteno, Nov., owing to I tho recent nutlionticated roport of tho j extension of tho Nevada & California I railroad from Amedu, Cai., north. Tho I news of tho purchase of ovei 0,000 tons , of steel rails in Now York by tho own , ors of this road was sent out last week, 'and tho material will bo shipped im mediately to Amedu, preparatory to beginning of extension work in tho spring. Tins is a nnrrow-guago road now terminating at Amedu, and it is concluded that tho next terminus will bo Van Loans, 05 miles north, and nearly crossing over the great Mada lino plains. It will plnco Lakoviow within 105 miles of rnilroad trnnapor tation, and will mako a considcrablo difference in stock shipping, freighting and passengor travel. Tho objeot of tho proposed extension is to head off tho Southern Pacific Company, which is now extending its lino from Upton through tho great McOloud timbor bolt to Fall Iliver. Speedy Mall Carrier!. All records of ice travel on tho Yu kon have been broken by tho recent feat of the mounted police of the Northwest tenitory in bringing a big shipment of mail from Dawson to Skagway in nino days and 10 hours. The mail left DawEon on the morning of.January 15 and was in Skagway before noon on January 31. Tho record was mado by tho Canadian officials, it is said, to show that they could greatly reduco the tirno being mado by tho United States mail contractors. Ill Sale or Wheat. With the sale of about 500,000 bush- ! els of wheat on a basis of 50 cents for No. 1 club, net, to tho farmers, tho wheat market has taken on a quieter tono at Pendleton, Or., and no sales aro being recorded. Tiio distribution of $250,000 of ready money in this com munity lias given considerable impetus to ietail business, which had becomo fcomewlmt stagnant fiom the failure of tho producers to realize either on wheat or wool. Schooner Sander Libeled. The schooner Fred E. Sander, at tho Tacoma mill loading lumber for Vallojo Junction, has been libeled by James Gillespie, formerly a cook on her, for $318. The suit was brought while tbo ship was on the lower Sound. Tho case will be heard in Seattle. Since coming to Tacoma the captain and all of tho crow who were in her before, with the exception of a Mexican, who speaks no English, havo loft her. Farinlnc Operation Returned.

On Sunday, an unknown man at tacked tho 14-year-olddaughter of O. I. Morris, of Tumor, Or., while she was in a stubble field, rounding up cows. Tiio man jumped from behind a olump of brush, threw the girl on the ground, took off one of her shoes and ordered her to skip. Mr. Morris heard tho Ecreams of his daughter, and ran to her rescue, but the assailant w?s nowhoro to bo found. Ko Hlril ItecelTed. The steamship City of Columbia was put up for salo at San Francisco at tho upset prico of $32,000. There was no purchaser. The police department will now indorse the petition of the seamen of the Columbia that tho vessel be put up for as muoh as she will bring. Tho sailors of tho vessel are really in a very bad shape. Most of them have not a cent, and havo not possessed a dollar in weeks. Overhauling n Nail riant. Tho roport published in tho Port Townsend Loader a few days ago to the effect that tho nail works plant was being wrecked for tho purpose of shipping tho machinery, olsowhero, was n mistake. It originated from tho fact tbnt several workmon woro busily on gaged in overhauling tho niachinory. When tho plant will resume work has not been .dofinitoly settled. Income From Clams.
