THE CANAL BILL IN THE SENATE.
Senator Sherman Speaks on Friendly Eo
lations Between tho United States and
-England The Dupont Case Again
Before the Senate To-day.
WAsnmoTos, Jan. 87. The debate on
the Nicaragua cnnsl bill in the senate yes
'onlay brought out anensrgetlo statement
from Senator Sherman, In which he fore
shadows a new treaty by whloh the United
States oould build the oanal without tho
Intermediation of a private oonoession.
The senator declared tkat this govern
mental oxeoutlou of the project was the
only feasible one and that all private ef
forts In that direction had proved failures.
"The senate of the United States," said
Mr. Sherman, "does not fear England or
any other power, and tho presldont of the
United States does not fear England. Wo
havo had two ware with England, and I
hope that war with. England will never
occur again. Tho two nations ought never
to fight each other. They ought always
to bo friendly. Great Britain Is more and
more following the example of the Amor
loan peoplo of having a government for
the people, of the people, by tho people!
and I bellovo the tlrao la not far distant
when Great Britain will bo as free as wo
aro."
Tho committee on privileges and elec
tions is oallod to moot today to consldor
tho Oupont petition. 7f is Mr. Konnoy's
Intention to appear in the senate later In
tho day, prosont his credentials and ask to
bo sonted as senator from Delaware. His
friends Bay that it a vote Is forcod there
will bo at least ten majority In his favor.
Tho military acadomy appropriation
bill, carrying approximately $ 170,000," was
passed, after the defeat of tno amend
ment for participation of the WeW' Point
cadota In the inauguration ceremonies.
Tho amendment led to a sharp' contro
versy between Mr. Allen, of Nebraska,
and Mr. Gray, of Delaware.
The house yesterday adopted the con
ference report on tho Immigration bill by
a voto of 1111 to 118. Tho principal criti
cism of tho measure agreed on by the oon
forrees in dobato wos based upon the ex
tension of the educational test to female
as well as male immigrants on tho ground
that It might divide familloi and to tho
limitation of tho ability of an immigrant
to read and write tho "English lunguago
or tho language of their native country or
residence."
Mr. Danford, of Ohio, mado the open
ing nrgumont in support of tho report. As
it passed tho house, he said, tho bill applied
tho educational test only to malost This
test was now extended tosuuiles. 11 was
this oxlonsion of tho educational test, he
said, which caused tho principal antag
onism to tho adoption of the conforenco
roport on tho ground that it would separ
ate families. Husbands might bo admls
sablo and wlvos oxcludod, or vice vorsa.
If the bill bocame a law, ho said, its pro
visions would bo woll understood by pros
pective Immigrants, and very few familios
would apply at our shores for admission
who were not eligible.
Mr. "W. A. Stono, of Pennsylvania, said
tho houso was confronted with the altern
ative of accepting tho agreement of tho
conferrees or having no immigration bill
passed at this session. He quoted some
statistics to show that last year but 110
immigrants of the olass of whloh wo aro
proud would have been excluded by this
bill. It was tho importation of those from
Italy, Hungary and other countrlos of
southern Europo, a largo percentage of
whom would be excluded by this bill,
whloh was causing the glut In tho oom
mon labor market. Two hundred and
twenty thousand of the 200,000 Immi
grants who oame in last year, he sp ii, re
mained In the threo states of Me ssachu
sotts, Now York and Pennsylvania.
Mr. Dolllvor, of Iowa, said ho had voted
for tho houso bill, ho would have sup
ported the bill as It passed the senate, but
ho felt absolved from voting for tho con
ference roport Ho would vote for no bill
whloh admitted the husband nnd ex
cluded the wlfo, bocause ho bollevod it
vastly more Important that a man should
enjoy tho society of his wlfo than that of
his grandfather.
A Woman's Deliberate Suicide.
Philadelphia, Jan. 88. Bertha Ida
Link, living at 1540 Vienna street, com
mitted gulolde sometime during tho night
by partly hanging herself to a closet door
in hor bedroom by means of a towel. She
was 35 years old. It is supposed she grew
despondent through ill health. The body
was found touching the floor with legs
drawn up. Tho gas had bean turned out,
and the things In the room had not been
disturbod. It is thought she must have
decided on the aot shortly after entering
tho room. The towel was simply thrown
over the top of the door, and Bertha placed
her head in the hanging loop and leaning
forward and withdrawing her feet allowed
herself to hang In that position, thus be
ing strangled.

commissioners to serve on the arbitral
tribunal appointed to dotermlno the boun
dary line between Venezuela and British
Guiana. Tho supreme court at a formal

While the formal assent of King Osont
to serve as the fifth arbitrator has not

nation by the British high court of Sir
Charles Russell and Sir Franklin Look
wood as the two members to bexhosen by
that body to complete the tribunal.
The aotual signing of the treaty will oc
cur within a few days. The necessity for
haste has been averted by the fact that a

gress was not called. That body will not
oonvone until Feb. 80. The next steamer
for La Guayra will sail Feb. 8, and will
take the treaty to Caracas.

The Snow Drifts and Gales Arc Sources
of Complaint.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS SUFFER I
Drummers Seek the Skelter ef Hotel Oer
ridort and Business Circles Present a
Paralytic Effect-Political Candi
dates Fear a Falling Off
In Votes.
Tbe stormy weather continues to have an
unfavorable effect on all branches of business,
especially the branches connected with the
railroads. Drummers arriving iu town com
plain bitterly of the delays in traific at
various points. The trolley systems sailer
considerably from the falls of snow snd
neither the cars of the Schuylkill Traction,
or Lakeside line, are running through the
town. Tbe oars of the former line reached
Coal street and the Lakeside cars got into the
First ward. The latter cars experience runoh
difficulty in ascending the heavy grades at
High Point and Yatesville.
Business in town is badly demoralised. Tbe
snow drifts and cold blast keep many people
under shelter, and the only shoppers are
those seeking actual necessities, so that the
iwtrons at the business places are few In
number. There is also a scarcity of teams
on tho street nnd tbe general effect Is much
like that which is broughtabout by a genuine
blizzard.
The hotel registers present a healthy ap
pearance and drummers are "laying over" in,
the town wherever they can arrange to do
so, to avoid the disagreeable weather and
rest Willi a hope of an improvement in the
condition of tho weather for to-morrow.
The greatest complaint comes from the
politicians, especially those interested in the
Citizens primaries to be held to-night. It is
frequently difficult to get the voters to the
primaries even whon the weather is clear and
flue and the troubles of the candidates and
their workers are doubled when a snow
storm stares the voters lu the face. For this
reawn it is quite likely that the vote at the
pri.narics, teklug all wards, nill not be as
large as was expected, although some of tbe
politicians ure of the opinion that tho hust
ling of the eight candidates for Chief Bur
gess will hilng the total vote pretty near up
to the usual election mark. The sterm has
iu no way diminished the energies of these
candidates and their work may prevent tbe
voto from taking the big drop others expect"
All tie collieries in this district were
opi-rated to day, tho storm having failed to
disable them. The only thing that seems to
give the mine oinclals any anxiety is the
possibility of Hoods occasioned by u sudden
thaw. T.hey are getting pumps and other
forces to counteract such an event in readi
ness. The iluaisRl Ool-Freolmrc. Snyder

Fugitive Captured.
Willie Shaefler, tbe boy burglar who es
caped from the Wllkesbarre jail on January
7th, last, wascaptured atHazleton yesterday.
He was found in tho garret of his father's
home. When the olllcers reached tho foot of
the garret steps they beheld Shadier sitting
on the top step with a-revolver in each hand.
He ooinmanded them to halt, aud cried, "I'll
kill tho first man who attemps to take me,
and then I'll shoot myself." Sargeant Kline,
however, prides himself on his bravery and
was of the opinion that the threats mado by
Shaeffcr woro only idle ones. He proceeded
up the steps but receded a moment later,
when a shot was fired in tho ceiling above.
The boy was subsequently induced by his
father to surrender to the police.

veteran pursued his march in tho same
leisurely gait that he had begun it.
