Washington, Deo. 34. After spend

in considering the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty for the modification of the Clay-
ton-Bulwer convention of 1850, tne
senate consumed only one hour and
ten minutes in amending it and ratify

there were several roll calls and viva

The first five of the roll calls were

All the amendments except those of

committee on foreign relations, were
voted down by majorities averaging
ftbout 19. The ratification resolution
was adopted by a vote of 55 to 18.
The Benate was in executive session
for about an hour before the time for
voting arrived, listening to speecnes

The first roll call was upon j&ikius

strued to prevent the United States
from acquiring at any time sufficient
sovereignty over the same to operate,
defend, fortify, protect and control said
canal or for any other particular as the
United States may deem best in us
own interest." It was lost, to 40.
The other amendment roll call was

reasons why we did not."

New York, Deo. 24. The Times this

In some states, as in Louisiana and
South Carolina, there were the nomi
nations of but two parties, Republican
and Democrat, upon the ballots; in
other states there were three or four,
and in some eight.
The total vote, inolnding 6,311 scat

WILL BE $400,000.
Amount Settled Upon for the Improvement of
the Columbia River.
Washington, Deo. 24. The river
and harbor bill will contain an appro
priation of $400,000 for the month cf
the Columbia, and aTurther provision
that this improvement be placed under
the continuing contract system nntil
oompleted. It is understood, however,
that the total amount of the contract
will not be as great as that recom
mended by the engineers. It will
probably be in the neighborhood of
$ 1,500,000. This cut m tne estimate
is veiy favorable to many other states.
Chairman Burton was anxious to
have some repeal legislation to qualify
the large amount in the river and har
bor bill. One of the items whioh he
wanted repealed was the Dalles boa
railway. The Orea delegation in
sisted that it should remain until as
surance of some other project for over
coming the obstruction could be bad.
This contention now prevails.

DEMAND BETTER PAY AND FEWER HOURS
Company Says It Is Not In a Position to Grant
Increase Negotiations Under Way
for Speedy Settlement.
Soranton, Pa., Deo 26. Every one
of the 800 car and bam employes of
the Scranton Railway Company obeyed
the strike order, which went into efieot
at 5 o'clock this morning, and as a
consequence only two pars weie run
in all of the Laokawana valley today.
These two were manned by Superinten
dent Tatterson and dispatchers, fore
men and clerks. No attempt was made
to .Dolest them, and, although rain feP
a great part of . the day, the two oai
seldom had a passenger.
The tied-up region extends irom
Pittston to Forest City, a distance of
80 miles, and includes 65 miles of
track, on whioh are run ordinarily 80
cars. The men of the Wyoming Val
ley Traotion Company, operating all
the lines south of Pittston as far as
Nantiooe, threaten to go on a strike.
With both oompanies tied up there
would be a total cessation of Btieet
oar traffio on a busy stretch of
country 80 miles north, including the
four big cities of Soranton, Wilkes
barre, Pittston and Carboudale.
The strikers met tonight and ap
pointed committees to man the differ
ent railroad stations. They are to
watoh for men who it is rumored have
been recruited in Philadelphia to take
their places. They will distribute
cards to strangers, notifying them of
the strike, and asking them not to ride
on the oars. An appeal to the local
publio has been issued, asking that (he
cars be not patronized, rf - " -
The men 'dowvsi 20 cents no hour
for old .atnfloyes and 15 to 17 ' for
new men. They also demand ft 10
hour day. The company, iu its answer

not in a position to afford any inmoase
in wages at the present time. Presi

the road would be operated with new
men if the old men cannot be seourod.
THE BOERS ARE CHECKED
Such h the Report of Kitchener From Pre
toriaBritish Surrounding Them.
London, Deo. 26. The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lor J Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
Deo. 24: "As far as it is possible for
me to form an opinion from reports of
officers on the spot, I think the Boer
movem ent into Cape Colony has been
checked. Of the two forces that en
tered the colony, the Eastern is still
north of the Zoutspsnsberg rango,
while the one that entered west ap
pears to have been turned in the direc
tion ol Biitstown and Prieeka. Oor
troops are getting around both bodies,
and a special column is also being or
ganized whioh will be dispatched im
mediately when know where its serv
ices are most wanted. The Boers have
not received much assistance in Cape
Colcny as far as my information goes.
We have armed some of the colonics,
who are assisting out forces. Rail
way and telegraph communoation has
been muoh interrupted by the very bad
weather.
"Dewet is in the neighborhood of
Senekal. General Frenoh, in conjunc
tion with General Clements, attacked
a force under Beyers wnth of Magalles'
Berg. The Boers broke away in a
southwesterly direction towards Po
tcheeBtroom, and were followed by
General Gordon with a column of
French's force. Yesterday evening
about 6 o'clock Clements' force was
engaged south of Ollphant's Nek, bus
I do not yet know the result." f
A later dispatch from Lord Kitchener
dated at Pretoria, says: "The western
column of Doers occupied Britatown
and cut the railway south of De Aar
Junction. The enemy is being fol
lowed up. General French has been in
oouiiitt-for two days with the com
maiidoos of Beyers and Delarey, south
of the Magalies' Berg. He is purn
ingthem. The enemy have lost con
siderably, and Commandant Kreuz and
