yesterday afternoon ratified the treaty

Yeas 57, nays 27, giving the treaty the

The pai1s were Cannon and Proctor,
paired with VVhi‘,te and Wetmore and
Wilson paired with Turpie.
Before the roll call, on the question
of ratification ,was ordered, a vote was
taken on Senator Vest’s proposed am—
endment. It was rejected by a vote
of 53 to 30, a majority only being nec-
essary to pass the reSolution.
The amendment declared that the
United States had no right to hold a
conquered people as a colony or as a
dependency against its consent.
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
seems entitled to much of the credit
for saving the treaty. He was sup-
posed to be Opposed to the treaty, but
at the 1ight moment came out in fa-
vor of it in a speech that did much to
turn the tide. I'cEner of Louisiana
(lid not make up his mind 11011 to vet-3
until just befoxe the roll call, 11 hen he
let it be known that he would vote
"Aye.’.’ '
The last man to cast his vote was
Jones of Nevada, but his act lost some
of its dramatic interest as his vote was
not needed.
Counting the four senators paired,
the advocates cast sixty-one votes, or
three more than necessary for ratifica-
tion.
The opponents needed thirty-one and
got only twenty-seven direct votes, or
twenty—nine counting the pairs.
The following is a recapitulation for
illustration: For ratification, 57; pair-
ed for ratification, 4. Against ratifica-
tion. 27: paired against ratification, 2.

Rcv'ew oi the Agreement With Spain.
The treaty of peace with Spain was
signed in Paris on December 10 last,
after negotiations lasting ten weeks,
and was a triumph for American diplo—
macy. All the final provisions of the
protocol of August 12 were incorporated
in the treaty, and in addition it was
stipulated that the Philippine islands
should be ceded to the United States.
Every prov'sion and every concession
on which the representatives of the
American government had insisted
had been yielded by the commissioners
of Spa? 11
The tree“ consists of seventeen ar-
ticles. which are in hri of as follows:
Article l.—~°pai11 renounces all sov—
ereignty over Cuba.
Article Tl ~~°pafr1 codes to the Uni:
t- d States “1’ is‘ord of Porto Rico and
the other is His row under her sov-
eieignty ir the Vmst Indies and the
island of Guam in the archipelago of
the Marianrs or Ladrones.
Article llI —Spain cedes to the Uni-
ted States the Philippine arich pelago.
The United States shall pay to Spain
the sum of $20,000,000 within three
months after the interchange of the
ratifications of the present treaty.
Article IV.——Spanish ships shall be
admitted to Philippine ports under
equal terms wih Americanships for ten
years.
Article V.—Pr0vides for the evacua—
tion of the Philippines and Guam by
Spain.
Article VI.-—Liberation of prisoners
of war and political prisoners.
The remaining articles include the
customary provisions of treaties of
peace, covering the transfer of public
property in the territory renounced 0r
ceded, treatment of oitiezns in such
territory. and adjudication of cases at
law therein pending before the courts
of Spain.
The final article stipulates that rati-
fications shall be exchanged in Wash-
ington within six months from the date
of the signature of the treaty.
War Buarl Report Held Up.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.—The war
investigating commission held an all
' day session considering their report.
which, it is now said“, would be ready
for transmission to the president about
Wednesday. The reports of the them-
ioal (.I)el‘tS have been received on the
analysis of the beef samples submit-ted,
but it is intended to call the chemists
themselves to identify their reports,
and, if necessary, amplify them by
verbal testimony. This will necessitate
another day of open session before the
workis completed.
The commission adopted appropriate
resolutions on the death of Colonel Sex-
ton.

ington, buried beneath a foot of snow,
was stirred and excited as it had not
summer when, with the temperature in
the nineties, the president and his cabi-
net waited day and night for news
from the front. _
This last battle, which may or may
not be the closing one in the drama
begun when war was declared between
Spain and the United States, was not
unexpected by the president and his
cabinet. They have feared it all along,
and for the past two weeks they had
reason to believe that it would occur
before the vote on the ratification of
the treaty of peace was taken.
The agent of Aguinaldo, whom they
have suspected of keeping the insur—
gent chief informed as to the proper
time to act, has been under close sur-
veillance since January 27, when it was
announced that one of his incendiary
cable dispatches to Aguinaldo had been
intercepted.
The government was so greatly im—
pressed with the information that the
navy department officers cabled it to
Admiral Dewey.
Congressmen began calling at the
executive mansion at an early hour in
the morning, and while it seems to be
the general impression that the Fili-
pinos have been taught so severe a
lesson that they will not be likely to
make further trouble at present; the
administration would be surprised at
nothing.
One fact it does not attempt to con-
ceal—~Admiral Dewey and General Otis
both apprehended a conflict and were
prepared to meet it promptly and de—
feat the rash natives quickly.
,These ofiicers knew the condition of
the insurgent troops and how they
were armed. But if they knew who
supplied them with their Mauser rifles
and other effective weapons and wheth-
er or not Germany had a hand in the
work, as the public seems to believe,
they are keeping discreetly quiet on
the subject. .
Q :ieen’s Annual Sp eech.
London, Feb. 7.—The following is a
forecast of the queen’s speech deliver-
ed to Parliament upon the occasion of
the opening of the session to-day. It
contains the salient points of which
the address treats:
The speech begins by declaring that
her majesty’s relations with the for-
eign powers continue to be friendly.
References are made to the campaign
in Egypt, the rescript of the Empero;
of Russia proposing international dis—
armament, and the assassination of
the Empress of Austria. Her majesty
also calls attention to the plague in
India, recommending measures for its
suppression, and to prevent its recru~
descence, and mentions the contribu-
tion of the.Cape Colony to the Briitisn
fleet. Reference is made to affairs ii:
the West Indies.
The forthcoming legislation announ~
ced by her majesty will include meas-
ures dealing with the municipal gov-
ernment of London, the establishment
of an Irish agricultural deparment and
amending the usury laws.

M rs. Nellie Dunn, of Winter and
Fourth streets, Ansouia, Ct., has used
Doan’s Kidney Pills in her family and
makes the following statement for the
benefit of anxious mothers and the res
life of interesting little children. Mrs.
Dunn says '
" I have a little boy of eleven veal s
of age that was veiy much troubled
with cwcak k1dne1 s. When he was six
years old he would a‘o'in bathing fre-
quently and remain in for a long time.
That. was when I first noticed any diifiv
culty with his kidneys, but he got so
that he would wet the bed every night.
I have taken him up at eleven o’clock,
but it would cecur two or three times
before morning. This caused me any
amount of work and I was not strong,
besides I knew that. it should not be
neglected, 1et. we got nothing t01e-
lieve him. Finally I re 1d somewheic
that Doun’s Kidney Pills would pre-
vent. such occuiicuccs and I procured
them from a (11110P store. They have
really been the means of 3m eugtlieniug
the kidneys of the child, and prevent.—
‘lng the nocturnal urination. I am very
grateful to Dunn’s Kidney Pills and I
heartily recommend them to any moth-
er having a child so afflicted. They
will relieve the mother of an enormous
amount of work, the child of much em-
barrassment, besides performing- a.
duty the parent owes the child to pre-
vent it 110111 growing up with weak
kidneys."

A New: Shaped Anchor.
For hundreds, perhaps thousands oi
years, the general shape of the anchor
has remained unchanged. The one
found in the woods of a West India
island and supposed to have been
brought over from Spain by Christo-
pher Columbus, differs little from those
in use at the present day, though
somewhat longer in the shank. .
Last fall, however, an anchor was
patented that has no stock and can
be stowed by hauling 1n thecable 11n«
til the shank is drawn up into the
hawser pipe, leaving only the head
and flukes projecting, and these lying
flat against the side of the vessel. The
head and flukes are cast in one solid
piece and attached to the shank by a
ball and socket joint wnich permits
them to rotate freely for a certain dis
tance in any direction. Thus, when the
anchor is dropped to the bottom it lies
flat upon the ground and there are no
projecting parts for the cable to catch
upon. As soon as the strain comes the
dukes turn downward till they form
an angle of about forty-five degrees,
with the shank, and strike into the
ground just as the blade of a hoe will
strike into soft sand when drawn for-
ward by the handle. In the old an-
chor only one fluke took hold at a time.
but in the new one both work togeth-
er, giving much greater holding pow-
er.
A fisherman who has made a pure
tical test states that a twelve-pound
anchor of the new type will hold an
eighteen-ton boat in tidewater and that
it is entirely too heavy for small boats.

Plenty on Board.
He had just returned from a trans
Atlantic v03 age and he let all knov-
it.
r'"Yes," he said pompously to the old
gentleman with the silk ‘hat and the
1 grey whiskers. who sat opposite, “we
had a most eventful trip; there was a
mmria go on board, tv. 0 deaths, and--~”
“ Any biitlis?” imtcrro, ated the old
gentle nan, with a twinkle in his
‘ eye.
“No—~er—-no births,” answered the
other. in a manner which implied they
could have had one or two if they so
desired.
“Dear me. that’s very strange!” ex-
claimed the grey sidc whiskers.
“What is strange?”
“\Vlly, no births. I have crossed
forty—three times, and there have al-
ways been births on board.”
The pompous note in the new fledged
traveller’s voice gave place to a tinge
of reverence as the other mentioned
the figures, but he asked:
“Well, what do you call a number of
births? Two, three, four, or—
“No, indeed. Why, the last time 1
crossed there were over five hundred,
and—
‘Whmt, babies?”
“Babies? No, berths, sleeping berths.
Here’s my street. Good bye."
