WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, March 11, 1901
Senator Piatt, of Connecticut,
who did not make himself conspic
uous as an advocate of the Ship
subsidy bill, is the ostensible author
of the resolution for the adoption of
a cloture rule 111 the Senate, but
that dosen't blind anybody. The
Hanna crowd is behind the move
ment, the principal object of which
is to make sure that the Ship sub
sidy bill does not fail when it is
next brought forward, as it did in
the last Congress. There is a sus
picion also that this cloture rule
job, if successful, will involve the
unloading of the Panama Canal,
with its long and dirty record of
fraud and theft, on this country,
and other reckless jobbery to be
pa d for by the taxpayers money.
It is believed to be the advance
move in the most gigantic scheme
of the public looting ever seen in
this or any other country. With
a cloture rule in the Senate Con
gress would be a mere machine to
register the will of the bosses of
the Republican party. It was at
first intended to try to jam this res
olution through at the present ses
sion of the Senate, although it has
always been the custom to deal
with nothing but executive matters
at these special session but so deter
mined was the opposition that it
was clear the special sessions, would
run on indefinitely if it were at
tempted, so the resolution was re
ferred to the committee on Rules.
Well, well! Teddy I13S tired of
being the whole show already. He
glared at the galleries, the occu
pauts of which were applauding
him, and threatened to have them
cleartd by the sergeant-at-arms if
the applause was repeated. Really,
Teddy will have to take something
for his ingrowing modesty.
Senator Morgan is determined to
keep before the people the fact that
it is the British influence that has
caused and is causing Republican
opposition to Nicaragua Canal
legislation. In view of the fact
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
lapsed by limitation March 4,
and in line with that determination
Senator Morgan has introduced a
resolution declaring the Clayton
Bulwer treaty abrogated. The Re
publicans have met this by de
claring that the Senate cannot alone
abrogate a treaty, and have gone
away back to 180S to find a preced
ent showing that the House must
also act and the President sign to
bring about the abrogation of a
treaty. This is because they do
not wish to have Senator Morgan's
resolution considered at the present
extra session of the Senate. Senator
Morgan made a speech in support
of his resolution that was one of
the warmest heard on the floor of
the Senate for a long time, in which
he said of the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty
"We will make no compromise
with Great Britain on that subject
We will make no concession to
Great Britain in relation to that
treaty. What we shall do with it
fand some of our people are opposed
even to that), is that we shall de
clare it abrogated. If the vote on
my resolution could be taken today
it would inform the President that
he has no two-thirds vote in the
Senate to adopt any compromise he
may make with Great Britain. If
it is the purpose of Great Britain
still to look lor delay she will not
get it. If it be her determination
to pick a quarrel with us about
it she will find the U S. can muster
at least half of the number of men
who voted for President in the last
Election-Fighting men. And she
will find, when the war terminates,
that the steel band which binds the
throne to Canada will have been retit
in twain; and with its severance
down will go the empire."

! lature adjourns without electing a
Seuator) who now call themselves
independents, did not attend the
caucus, but it is believed that they
will join the Democrats in opposing
a cloture rule in the Senate. Sen
ator Teller says that whatever may
oe done at the regular session, he
is very certain that no cloture rule
will be adopted by the Senate at
the extra session. It is difficult to
see how one can be adopted at any
session without the consent of the
minority, as the proposition can be (
indefinitely debated under the pres-;
ent rules.

The secret of whv Senator Carter i
so unexpectedly talked the River j
and Harbor bill to death in the '
closing hours of the recent session
of Congress has been ascertained, j
He acted for President McKinley,
who, owing to the enormous total j
of appropriations, wanted the bill
killed, but did not care to offend 1
those interested in it by doing it :
with his little veto. Carter was chos-
en to do the work because as he
was about to leave the Senate h;
did not object to offending influen-
tial Senators and he knew that the!
failure of the bill would not make
him any enemies m Montana. It
is said that Carter's reward will be
aid from the administration to re
turn to the Senate, and failing in
that a lat Federal office for himself
or the control of Federal patronage
in Montana as he may prefer.
Pres't McKinley has stated that
he would not again send the nomi
nation of either Schley or Sampson
to the Senate for promotion. In
that case they will both be retired
as rearadmirals, Schley next Octo
ber, and Sampson three months
later, and Schley will receive no
reward lor having destroyed Cer
vera's fleet.
American Heirs Under Will That
Was
Made 200 ?ears Ago-
James I. Beatty, a grocer of Tren
ton X. J., has been notified that he is
one of the direct heirs to a fortune
of more than a million dollars that
has been in the courts of Scotland for
more than two hundred years. The
Beatty family is one of several in the
United States entitled to the legacy.
The fortune was left by Lord Douglas
of Aberdeen, Scotland, about two
hnndred years ago, to his heirs of the
fifth generation, when the principal
and interest was to be divided among '
them.
Mr Beatty and the other heirs are
of the fifth generation, hence the of
ficial notification of their tit'e to the
fortune. Mr. Beatty, when informed
of his good fortune, said he had often
heard his mother and grandmother
speak of the legacy, but he had never
taken it seriousiy.
V hy Lord Douglas left the pecul
iar legacy is not told. The family is
one of the three most powerful in
Scotland. In 1761 a daughter of
Lord Douglas was kidnapped and
brought to America, where she was
adopted by a Quaker family of Phil
adelphia. She was married there.
Beatty is a direct descendant from
this daughter. Several years ago he
and other heirs in this country sent a
lawyer to Scotland to investigate the
Douglas legacy. What became of
the lawyer is not known, but he never
returned.
It is known that Lord Douglas
by his will left much of his property
in trust for five Generations, it to be
divided then among his direct de
scendants; or, should there be none
to revert to the landed estate.
Last week Sarah 12. Paul, of Col
umbia, Wstrren county, N. J., received
a letter from a prothonotary in Scot
land, notifying her that the great
legacy is available. The other heirs
are Mrs. James Fox, of Courtland,
Pa i George A. Beatty, of Hacketts
town. N. J., and O. C. Beatty, of
South Bend, Ind.
There are many direct heirs who
will come in for a share of the estate
residing in Columbia County. Among
them being the Fortner family and
f . S. Woods of this town. The latter
has in his possession depositions taken
many years ago.

ing rests on. No store can permanently succeed by giv
ing one jot less than fu)l and complete value for the
money spent. Circumstances sometimes make it possi
ble to give more than a fair exchange, but no circum
stance or combination of circumstances, should tempt a
store to give less than a just equivalent. Reading prin
ciples is one thing, and practicing them is another. We
