Before being ratified the treaty was laananded, in ad dition to the Davis amendment, a as to give the United States power to defend the canal except by fortification, by the adoption of tile two Foraker amend ments . It is the opinion of two sen ators whose view's are entitled to weight that Bnglland will accept the am end men ts . The discussion preceedmg final action on the treaty was of short duration. Messrs. Waleott, Galliger and Thurston spoke 3n favor of ratification. All the lamenrments but those of Foraker were defeated: At the conclusion of the executive session the senate ad journed. The session of the senate previous to the executive session was con sumed in discussing a resolution to discharge the committee on contingent expenses from further consideration of the Mon tana isenatorship. The discussion was brought to a conclusion by the motion to go into executive session. At twenty minutes to 2 o'clock the senate doors were closed puon the pub lic and the senate went into executive session for the last time unoh the Hay Paucefote treaty. The voting began at 3 o'clock. There were certain senators who desired 'to make final suggestions upon different provisions to the treaty and further amendments were offered. The bell rang for the first roll call at two minutes past 3 o'clock, and a vote was taken on the amendments suggest ed by the committee on foreign rela tions. They were adopted. The first of these amendments adds the words "which 3s hereby super seded" after the words " Clayton-Bul-wer convention" in the preamble of Arttce II, making it read as foows: "The high, contracting parties, de siring to preserve and maintain the 'general principles!' of neutralizing in ArtMe VIII, of the Cayton-Bulwer con vention, Which iis hereby superseded, adopts the basis of such neutralizing the following' rules, substantially as (Continued on fourth poire.)

West Point, N. Y., Dec. 20"The mil itary court of inquiry that has been in session here since Tuesday examing the allegation that the death of Oscar L. Booz, (a former cadet of the United States Military academy iwias caused by brutal treatment to wndch he was said to have been supjected1 by fellow students, resumed its (sitting today. There remain to be examined, twenty cadets of the class to which Booz be longed, land it is likely that some of the first cliaiss cadets and officers of the academy will also foe interrogated as to their knowledge of hazing. It is probable, therefore, that the court will not close its investigation before Sat urday. Cadet William H. Cowles, of Kansas, described the hazing im the summer of 1898 and said that he had undergone everything that his classimtates had en dured. He said 'he hlad attended rat funerals, took cold baths and joined in bowl races ias wedl as being made acquainted with 'Wooden Wilie," and the process of eagling. He had taken coupie of drops of hot sauce from a spoon. The witness prepared at the same school with Booz an did not consider Booz strong.. While ati this school (St. Lukes at Bushtown, Phila delphia) Booz Was examined by physi Oiansi and was developing lung and chest capacity. Herbert S. Krumm, of Ohio, told the court that among other things which he was made to do as a fourth class man wa's to qualify in the mess hall. 'What does 'that mean?" Asked Capt. Delan. "I had to eat eighty-five prunes at one. sitting and at another I had to swallow a bowl of molasses and a,tx slices of bread." "Did you succeed in doing these things?" asked the court. "No sir, I was not successful on my first (attempt at the molasses but I did all right the tseoond time." Oadet David H. Bower, of Iowa, said he had been hazed in '98. He had to do foolish things, such as "receiving a turtle passing down the company street with a dandle on- its back," and, "chas ing a sparrow off the street after being told it was an eagle." The oommisito branched! off today into the investigation of the alleged hazing of Oadet Breth of Altoona, whose death 'is also attributed to his 'treatment wrtiile at West Point. The rector of the Catholic churdh testified that he knew Breth, who brought bum 'a letter of in troduction frocnu the priest ait Altoona. Breth failed to pass and he left the academy almost broken hearted. 'The witness emphatically declared he felt sure he would have learned if Breth wias sulbjedted to any birutal hazing. A telegram was introduced from P. O. Philipps, of Oeve'lamdi, denying the recent istiatemeint by the father of 'Booz that he (Phiilipps) had come to West Point on one occasion to croteet son', a cadet ait the academy, from. be ing' Ih'azedi. 'For itlhe first time, today, cadets were found who saw Booz ihlazed and taste the historical pepper sauce.'

It ic feared itihat weak'&ndng the presen t ioad equate garrison will be suicidal and St is feared the peaceful naltives will suffer from T&igal vengeance. .MacArthur has as sured the d&siferl'Cts fromi which the vol unteers are to he withdtrawin ithsat cney w'ili.be givem ithe fulles't protection, hut this ds iimpossilble ualeas con resis passes the army bill. Americans here believe if 'the proposed increase in the army ds not adopted thiei Philiippines will ihave to' be albandoned. Today's papers publish a proclamation! from Gen,. Miac Arthur annoumciing in future 'that ithere will be rigid adher ence to the Taws of. war, and warnin'g insurgents and sympaitMzers to desist frorru guerrillaiami and supporting th common enemy.

The laid1 was handed In a hack and set down close by his father's house. Having Ibeen blindfolded all the time, the boy was unable to say where he had Ibeen, but aa nearly aas ihe could estimate by ithe lew observations he was able to make, ihe thought he had toeem taken about five imiles south of South. Omaha. There is absolutely mo clue to the identity of the aJbductors, although the police have been working irucessanitly on Ithe matter ever since it was first re ported. The dunning of the gang who had the boy iint keeping and 'their thox'ougni knowledge- of the geography of the city aie evidenced in the plans they laid. Close by the place where Mr. Oudiahy iwas directed to leave the som for has son the river approaches the road, and it is supposed the men were on the watch Ifor 'the millionaire and saw his red light from a boat. As soon as he had driven away and they 'had convinced1 themselves that no others were lingering near, they probably cLimibed up the bank, Obtained' ithe sack of gold ithat had been left for 'them, made their way to ithe boat again and escaped wltho'ult leaving any tell-tta'e footprints. 1..e boy says that he was seized on the street by 'two iroen who told him that he w'as a fugitive from, the reform school, and that they were deputy sher iff from another county. They placed' hiirm in a closed) carriagei, threw a cloth over his head and gagged 'him. 'They took him, according to Ms judgment, to a lonely house in South Omaha, where he 'was Chained to the floor and kept a prisoner untw ine was put in a nacK. and returned to his home this .mlorning. While a prisoner he was guarded by two men and supplied with food . Tonight young Oudahy is ait home, and hiis mother insists ooi the house 'being guardted, an terror lest her boy be tolen aiglain. Young Oudahy appears well, though pale and somewhat eoniatiated . His wrisits still: ibear the imprint of ihandcuffa placed on them.

Late totndght EfdwaJrd Oudahy posted a reward of $25,000 for the 'apprehension of the men. Ltr spite of the off er there is some talk that the whole thing is a fake, 'and the iboy was never kidnap ped, but on the contrary had been off oni a tear, and 'later finding that his parents were alarmed that he had been stolen', invented the story.

Six of the Thirteen Members Desire an Enlargement of the Honse to 386, MAJORITY REPORT CALLS FOR 357 THIS IS BASED ON ONE CONGRESS MAN FOR EACH 208,868 OF POPU LATIONSTATES HAVING LARG EST MAJORITY FRACTIONS TO HAVE ADDITIONAL CONGRESS MEN. k j Washington, Dec. 2. Representative Hopkins, chairman of the committee on census today filed in the house the ma jority report on the reapportionment Din reported by the committee fixing the membership of the house for the next decade at 357. Representative Burleigh of Maine, filed a minority re port signed by six memDers in favor of a house to be composed of 386 mem bers and Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana, who signed the Burleigh re port also submitted an independent re port in favor of reducing the represen tation in the southern states to the ex tent of the abridgment of the suffrage. His independent report favors a houe to be composed of 247 members. Mr. Hopkins in the minority report cites many instances! to show that the loss of eats by states under reapportion ment bills was not uncommon. Mas sachusetts for instance, which under the thdrdcensus had twentj' members, was .reduced to ten under the sixth, seventh-and eighth, and Virginia Which , had 23 in the third, had but nine under the ninth. It is proposed to divide the constituent population by 357 of the proposed membershop. The quo tient 208,86$ is the ratio of representa tives to population. The ratio applied to the population of each state will yield in the aggregate a number some what less than 357, the number deter mined upon as the membership of the house. The difference lis made up as signing to the states having the larg est majority of fractioens additional con gressmen until the 357 is made up. THE MINORITY REPORT. Messrs. Burleigh, Russell.
