Senator Morgan today secured the first materi al concession that has been made to him by the Senate in connection with the Panama Canal Treaty with Colom bia. This consisted of an agreement to attach the Spooner Canal Act-bodily to the treaty. The change was made In compliance with a request presented by Senator Lodre during- the executive session of the Senate today after the necessity for it had been discussed by Morgan and other members of the Sen ate committee. Mr. Daniel expressed the opinion that as the preamble to the treaty calls for the attachment of a copy of the act. that the attachment -was necessary to preserve the terms of the document In tact. Senator Morgan contended that, without this attachment, the treaty was absolutely Invalid. Senators Teller and Hoar took the opposite view urging that, as the act was In existence, and of record on the annals of the United States, physical annexation was or no consequence whatever. Senator Lodge, however. suggested that no injury could result from the attachment of the act. and unanimous consent was given to do so. It was specifically stipulated, however. that this concession did not amount to an amendment of the treaty. Morgan consumed the entire time of the remainder of the executive session discussing the canal question from the various points of view.

When David Kenny and JIs brother, J. R. Kenny, ' were arraigned before Judge Griffin In the justice court yesterday afternoon for a preliminary hearing on the warrants charging them with be ing fugitives from justice, they were immediately released, and the $3000 cash ball which they, had up with the clerk was restored to them. This action, it is believed, will end the case, so. far as the attempt of J. IL Aker, of Orting, father of David Ken , nys 15-year-old : bride, may be con cerned. The young man was charged with perjury in j swearing to the age of his girl bride when he secured his marriage license at Portland i last month. The brother, J. R. Kenny, was charged : with subornation of perjury in conection with the same case. On Saturday afternoon Governor He IJride heard attorneys in the case in the application for extradition papers to take the young people back to Port land at the request of the irate father for trial. At the conclusion of the hearing the Governor said: "It is my opinion in this casethat the circumstances clearly tend to prove that there has been no undue influ- ene used by the Kenny boys, and I do not feel like hastily condemning to an unsympathetic court of law in another state two young men, who, to all ap pearances, have acted as they thought was rlght.: lender the circumstances as they appear to me, I feel that I am justified In deferring all action at pres. ent. If the Oregon authorities care to press the prosecution further, it will then be time to consider It with refer ence to stern law. We will allow the matter to remain n status , quo for the present," 1 As the father of the youn bride is about the only person who seems to be actively Interested In pressing- a pros ecution, It Is believed that the action of the Governor and of the local justice court has settled the case, and that the young people may now go ahead and complete their plans for the estab lishment of a home on the bridegroom's farm near Orting.

Vic toria dock, situated on the east bank of the Willamette j river Just north of the railroad bridge, was entirely de stroyed by fire, about noon today, to gether with 10,000 tons of salt stored on the dock. The total loss is estimated at $400,000, and the insurance is about $340,000. It is certain that the fire was started by an Incendiary, as a man was seen leaving the dock after the fire had gained some headway. The police sta tion was noticed as soon as possible, but before an officer arrived on the scene the man disappeared. Three times during the past fortnight fires have been started in the docks In this chy, and it is supposed that the same man is responsible for all. Fire broke out on the dock shortly bfeore noon, and it looked for a while as though the entire line of docks on the east side of the river would be burned, and several times Irving dock, adjoining, caught fire, but by a dill- gent effort on the part of the fire de partment, the flames were confined to the. Victoria dock and a few small buildings hear by. It was late this afternoon before the fire was entirely under control, and to4 night the great piles of wheat are still smouldering. - i The barkentine Amazon "was moored near the dock, and had it not been for the fact that the wind was blowing from the vessel, it would have been de stroyed. Several small houses near the dock were destroyed, the loss on the houses aggregating $6000. The losses In detail were as follows: Ten thousand tons of wheat owned by the Northwest Warehouse Company, $250,000. fully Insured. Two thousand tons of salt, owned by T, M. Stevens '& Co... $50,000. fully In sured. Victoria Dock, owned by E. W. Spen cer. $65,000, Insurance. $30,000. . Flour,. machinery and other merchan dlse, stored on the dock, $30,000. , Earlier in the day the half block of frame buildings bounded by Mississip pi, Russell and, Goldsmith streets in Albina, not far from the Victoria dock, was destroyed. Eighteen families who lived in the block were rendered home less. The ground floor was occupied by several small stores. The total loss is about $25,000. And Still Another.
