Peace Treaty May Not Be Acted
. Upon at this Session:
THE HOUSE HAS MUCH TO DO
Anti-Expansionists lilay Prolong the Dis-
cussi.:n. There “fill be Measures Afl‘ect-
ing Army Reorganization. the Nicara-
gua Canal and Hawaii.
W'ashington, D. C., Dec. 5.--The last
session of the Fifty—fifth Congress,
which convenes to-day, promises to be
an uneventful one, in View of the im-
portant and stirring events that have
occurred since its adjournment in mid-
summer.
Much has been said and
about the extraordinary ‘hings
Congress will do in the coming
written
that
short
session, but after talks with leaders of'
the Republican party, it is safe to say
that, with fewcxceptions, legislation
this winter will be of quite a routine
character.
The treaty of peace is doubtless the
most important thing that will engage
the attention of ;ie Senate. It is be-
lieved that this document will be pre.
sented to the Senate some time in
January, probably early in the month,
if no unexpected hitch occurs to fur-
ther delay it...
It is the intention of the leaders of
the Senate to make an attempt at once
to push the treaty through. Whether
or not it will be ratified during the
short session will depend entirely on
the amount of debate and opposition
that is encountered.
If the anti-expansionists show a dis-
position to prolong discussion of the
various features of the treaty, and will
give no assurances of agreeing to a
vote on it within a reasonable space of
time, it will be the plan of the ad-
ministration ‘to drop the whole thing
and hold the treaty in abeyance.
With the expiration of the present
Congress a number of Democratic sen-
ators will he succeeded by Republi~
cans, enough of the latter coming in to
give the Republicans almost the neces-
sary two-thirds vote to ratify the trea-
ty.
An extra session of Congress, or of
the Senate, at any rate, would then be
in order, at which the treaty could be
approved in short order.
This is the present plan of the Re-
publican leaders, and in View of the
fact that a large number of talkative
senators have. already gone on record
as against many of the important pro—
visions of the treaty, it is very rea~
sortable to suppose that it will be
shown early after taking the matter
up that it will be impossible to secure
a vote before many weeks of debate.
This the administration is anxious to
avoid, and the treaty will probably be
shelved while the Senate gives its at—
tention to other pressing legislation.
With the convening of an extra session
of the Fifty—sixth Congress, it is be-
lieved that the treaty would be ratified
without any undue delay.
' The Republican majority in the next
Congress will be sufficient to enable
them to pass almost any legislation de-
sired, and it is believed that a two~
thirds vote of the Senate could be. mus—
tered in favor of the treaty without
great difficulty.
It is now very well understood that
the coming session will not take up
the question concerning a government
for our new possessions.
Hawaii will be taken care of early in
the session, but Porto Rico and the
Philippines, it is universally believed,
will wait until another session.
The president is said to be well sat—
isfied with the way these islands are
now controlled, and wants to continue
the military government in force until
he ’has a. chance to gain further infor—
mation in regard to them.
Commissions will doubtless be'ap-
pointed for both places, and thorough
investigations made of all branches of
life in the islands. The customs are
now being; collected by the military au-
thorities and the government can 07(-
tend postal facilities and other im—
provements without authority of Con,-
gress. .
The House has its work well map—
ped out for the coming session, ant. the
Senate will also be busy. Neither
house will have any time to spare after
disposing of the routine matters that
must necessarily be taken care of. The
first day of the House will be taken
up with the reading of the president’s
message, swearing in the three new
members and the announcements of
the deaths of Representatives North--
way of Ohio and Love of Mississippi.
After hearing this the House will
promptly adjourn, thus closing the.
first day’s session.
Tuesday will be the first day of real
business. The first measure to be. con—
sidered will be the deficiency bill for
the army. The appropriation for the.
support of the army lapses on January
1, so it is imperative that new funds
be provided before that date.
Chairman Cannon has his bill fram-
ed and all ready for the attention of
the House.
It is not thought that the measure
will provoke any general discussion of
war scandals, or even bring up the
question of expansion, for the bill will
merely provide for extending the prom
ent appropriations.
The increase of the regular army will
not be brought up in the bill, and if
the House branches off into a debate
on this point it will be because some
member wants special information on
it. No time will be lost in rushing
this bill over to the Senate, for it must
be a law before January 1.
Leading members of both branches
of Congress appear to be united in
agreeing that a Nicaragua canal bill
will be among the measures that are
certain of being passed during the com—
ing session. '
A Nicaragua canal bill will stand an
excellent chance of passing this session,
the only difference of opinion being in
regard to the method of raising the
money to pay for the enterprise and
as to the amount that shall be appro-
priated at this time. If the bill for
this purpose provides for the issue of
bonds, it must originate in the House.
The, Senate, however. may pass a bill
simply providing for the acquiremcnt
rights may be
needed, ‘ . . ‘
The senate commit-tee on inter-state
and foreign commerce has charge 01
this matter.
MRS. BOTKIN’S TRIAL.
Witnesses from the Atlantic Co.st W‘ill
Testify Against Her. ,
San Francisco, Dec. 5.——The most no-
ted murder trial the Pacific coast has
had occasion to witness in recent years,
begins -to-day, when Mrs. Cordelia Bot-
kin will be ar‘nigned for the murder of
Mrs. John P. Dunning and Mrs. J. D.
Dean of Dover, Del.
The casehas many peculiar features
which make extradition from Califor-
nia to Delaware impossible of accom-
plishment, for the poisoned candy
which caused the death of the two
daughters of (ex—Congressman John P.
Pennington was bought in San Fran-
cisco and mailed from there to Dover.
The act is alleged to have been inspir—
ed by jealousy, for it is admitted that
Mrs. Botkin and Mr. Dunning, a news—
paper man, had been intimate while
the latter’s wife was in the East.
Daniel Ames, a handwriting expert
of New York, who was an important
vitness in the Fair will case, has dc—
clared that Mrs. Bot‘kin wrote the notc
accompanying the drugged candy, and
that shc'was also the author of anony—
mous letters which warned Mrs. Dun—
ning of her husband’s act of infidelity
in this city. The druggist who sold the
arsenic has also identified Mrs. Boililu
as the purchaser of the poison.
MRS. BOTKINS AND THE FATAL MESSAGE.
Dunning, the husband, and thirteen
officials and witnesses from Delaware
are on hand to testify. Before leaving
for the west Dunning expressed a firm—
er opinion than evcr that Mrs. Botkin
was the slayer of his wife, although he
considers her coming trial in Califor—
min in the light of a legal farce, and
that the only place for speedy justice
was, Delaware.
Asked what defence the California
woman intended to present, Dunning
intimated that her strongest defence
was to ,further fight a trial. He had
no fear, either for himself or for the
safety of the case. as to what the wo-
man intended to bring out.
GARCIA VISITS M’KINLEY.
liIemberi: of Cuban Commission Say
“Hts Satisfactory.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 5.——~As a re—
sult of General Garcia‘s call at the
V’Vhite House the general called a con-
ference of the Cuban commission and
the Cuban representative, Mr. Quesada,
Saturday, for the general purpose of
considering Cuban affairs in the light
of the views exchanged during the
meeting with the president.
General Garcia refuses to discuss the
call, and his associates maintain‘thc
same reticence except to declare that
it was of an agreeable and satisfac-
tory nature, the idea being conveyed
by them that it is likely to pave the
way to a satisfactory understanding
all around.

Big Blaze in New York.
New York, Dec. 5,—Last night at 10
o’clock fire broke out in the block oc—
cupied by Rogers, Poet & Co., corner of
Broadway and Murray streets, and op-
posite the City Hall, that not only de-
stroyed the block in which it started,
but burned the upper stories of the
magnificent Home Life. Insurance and
the Postal Cable buildings adjoining.
The two latter are sky Scrapers and
“fireproof,” and have been completed
. but about three years. The department
was utterly unable to cope with the
fire of the Home Life Building until it
had burned from the seventeenth story
down to' the tenth, where streams from
the water tower could be brought to
bear upon it.
ilxvtluun Getting Good.
New York, ‘Doo. 5.—There is no let
up in the efforts of the police to purify
the city, and there can no longer be
any doubt that the authorities are in
earnest when they declare that vice
must go.
Captains Chapman and Diamond
have closed more than one hundred
notorious rcsdrts known as “red light"
cafes on the East Side, and Captain
Price has raided the best-known gam-
bling houses of the Tenderloin.
Pool rooms all over the city have
ceased dOlng business, and for a time
at least a great moral wave second 0m
1y to that started by the Parkhurst
crusade, has swept over the metropo—
Iis.
President York has declared that the
work shall go on until gambling has
been eradicated, policy shops suppres-
sed and other forms of vice controlled,
so that they cannot flaunt themselves
before the gaze of respectable citizens.
His flat is being obeyed to the letter,
even though it occasions much sur-
prise, due to the change of front that
it indicates since the electionfi
Treasurer Short In His Accounts.
Paterson, N. J., Dec. 5.—There was a
sensation here when it was learned
that Isaac H. Voorhis, probably the
largest stove dealer in New Jersey, and
treasurer of the Board of Health of
Paterson, was alleged to be short $2,-
500 or more in his accounts with the
municipality and had tendered his re-
signation in response to a. peremptory
demand by Mayor Hlnchcliffe.
Mr. Voorhis at once confessed that
he was a defaulter. He had drawn the
money to pay urgent private bills, he
said, and intended to refund it.
All would have been rectified in a
day or two, he said, had he not been
detected.
His family is one of the most favor-
ably known in Paterson, as the name
is one of'the oldest and most honored
in the state. ~
Mr. Voorhis ls fifty-five years old
and is a brother of the late Representa-
self in Jersey City after wrecking a

no" T RELEASE PRISONERS.
As Soon as Treaty of Peace Is Signed I .-
mands \Vil‘. lie Made Upon Aguinnl..
Washington, D. 0., Dec.‘ 5.—No recent .
action has been taken byythis govern-
ment looking 'to the release of the Spa-
nish prisoners held by Aguinaldo and
his followers.
Inquiry at the war department has
developed the fact that instructions
have been sent to Major General Otis
directing him to use his good offices
to obtai:i the release of the prisoners,
but so far he- has not been successful,
Aguinaldo persisting in holdingthem
for a ransom. . r'
It is freely stated in administration
circles that if Aguinaldo does not re—
lease the Spaniards a demand will be
node of him just as soon as the treaty
of peace is ratified, and failing to com-
ply with it he will be compelled to
give up the prisoners.
The authorities are hopeful that the
insurgent chief will be willing to dis-
band his army and surrender his pris-
oners. ' a
Tiere has been some discussion as
to the manner in which the islands
shall be surrendered by the Spaniards.
It is considered probable that the pro—
gramme followed in Porto Rico will be
adopted in connection with the surren-
der of the Philippines.
Spain has only one point of any val:
us in her possession to-day, Iloilo, and
it is expected that when the evacua-
tion occurs General Otis will send a
representative to that city.
Spain has only one ship in which'to
take away her troops now in the Phil-
ippine waters—the Buenos Ayres, an
auxiliary cruiser—and she will have to
send other steamers to those islands to
accommodate all of her troops desir—
ing to return to the peninsula.
NEW EUROPEAN SQUADRON.
Will Include‘Abont Five Ships of Diflerent
Classes.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 5.——Secretary
Long has decided to assign the Chica—
go to duty as flagship‘of the European
squadron, which is now in process of
selection.
The squadron probably will include
about five ships of different classes.
While there will be some armored
vessels among them, it is not likely
that the battleship type will be repre-
sented, owing to the fact "that these
vessels are not designed for long
cruises and notwithstanding the ac};—
ievement of the Oregon in that direc—
tion, it is not deemed well to make a
steady practice of what was regarded
as a questionable experiment.
Three ships will be sent “to the. South
Atlantic station, and Secretary Long
has under consideration the establish-
xnent of a South Pacific squadron, with
a base perhaps at Valparaiso in sum-
mer, and at Calao in the winter time.
In view of the fact that the officers and
enlisted men have had so much actual
practice in the art of war during the
past season, the navy department has
decided to postpone until next autumn
the usual annual manoeuvres.
The navy department is informed
that the gunboat Marietta, which 15
making a cruise along the east coast
of Central America, has arrived at
Port Livingston, uatemala.
Demonstration in Paris.
Paris, Dec. 5.-—An imposing meeting.
was held Saturday evening in be
Grand O‘rient Hall, in favor of revision
of the Dreyfus proceedings and t. ,
test against the Picquart trial.
Speeches were made by M. Arr‘
France, the poet and litterateur; Dr.
Paul Reclus and M. Joseph Reinacn.
'formerly a Republican member of the
Chamber of Deputies, and others, de—
manding the abolition of courts mar-
tial. ‘
A resolution was voted expressing
admiration for Colonel Picquart.
After the meeting demonstrations
were made against MM. Drumont and
IRochefort, in front of the offices of the
newspaper Eclair and Libre Parole.
Friendly Toward Filipinos.
Manila, Philippine Islands, Dec. 5.—-
Hong Kong newspapers having esser—
ted that the attitude of the Germans
here was hostile to the insurgents, the
Germans of Manila have circulated a
statement saying that the Germans are
thoroughly friendly toward the Filipi-
nos.
This statement is signed by the Ger-
man consul and the German business
firms.
The natives infer that the Germans
are favorable to the independent fac—
tion.
