Democrats Coa... Repobllcsas-ciecies am Candidates. By Telegraph to the Mornlna Star. Boston, Mass , Deo. 10. The Dem- wrftta completely overwhelmed the Republicans In the city election to day, Gen. Patrick A. Collin being elected oyer Mayor Thos. N. Hart by the largest plurality in a quarter of a century. The Democrats likewise ob tained control of both branches of the city government; elected their street commissioner, SalemD. Charles, and practically all their candidates for the school commission. As usual the city voted strongly in favor of license. , The result of the canvass was 4 as fully as much a surprise to the Demo crats as to their opponents. The most anguine Democratic prophet last night claimed only seven thousand, jet this plurality was nearly tripled. Two years ago Mayor Hart defeated General Collins by 2.281 votes and polled something1 over 40,000. This year the total Republican vote for mayor was a trifle over 83,000, the smallest given a party candidate for mayor since' 1893, despite a registra tion almost 60 per cent, larger than then. Yet General Collins received 53.000 votes, the largest in the history of the city and he carried 18 out of 25 wards. The Republican leaders were in clined to blame the weather to-night, but this does not account for the tre mendous gains made by the Demo crats in Republican wards. Natu rally, there was great excitement in the close wards and in South Boston two prominent Republican politicians were arrested on suspicion of having obtained repeaters. This, however, was the only unfortunate feature of the day. la Other Cities. ' Massachusetts Republicans were not quite as successful in he eighteen city elections held to-day as they were in the fourteen held last week, for al though they carried eleven to the Dem ocrats' four, the other three being non partisan contests, three Republican mayors were defeated.

Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis, the fashionable dressmaker found mysteriously t saulted in her apartments yesterday, is hovering between life and death to day.

MISSINQ MISS CROPSEY. Committee Still Prosecuting the Search. No Farther Developments. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Elizabeth City, N. C, Dec. il. Notwithstanding that the committee of five which has been prosecuting the March for the missing Nellie Crop gey believe they will be atw ta clear up the mystery within a short time, Chief of Police Dawson is still without information. To day he said: "I still think the girl was either drowned or murdered, but I have no definite clue." The party dragging the river under the direction of the committee of five yesterday brought up a piece of dress goods, which, it is thought, may have belonged to Miss Cropsey. Father Accuses Wilcox. : The citizen's committee to-night again promise important developments in the Cropsey disappearance case within a short time two or three days. W. H.

" By Telegraph to tne Morning Btar. Washington, December 11. Two speeches on ' the Hay -Pau nee tote treaty were made in the executive ses sion of the Senate to-day, one by Sen ator Bacon, in opposition to the treaty, and the other by Senator Cullom, the prospective chairman of the Commit tee on Foreign Relations, in support of it. Mr. Bacon replied to tbe speech made yesterday by Senator Lodgeiiin presenting the report of the Commit tee on Foreign Relations to the Senate. He summed up his objections in the statement that he could not freely accept any treaty which does not place the isthmian canal . entirely under American auspices and American con trol. This, he said, the pending treaty does not do. nor does it do anvthin .like it. It did not by odds accomnlish what had been accomplished by the Senate amendment to the Hay Paunce fote treaty that had been under con sideration at the last session of Con gress. That amendment had. he sa id, abrogated all the objectionable pro visions of that treaty as negotiated, and it did not matter what provisions there were in the agreement so long as tbe United States were authorized as they were by tbe principal Davis amendment to secure the aafety and maintenance of the canal by their own force.,- That amendment had given this country a free hand to do what waa necessary for the protection and defence of the canal, whereas the present treaty carries all the restric tions which were originally contained in tbe old treaty, leaving out the mod ifications of the- Javis amendment. Referring to the treaty he pointed out that it reproduces the restrictions of the old Sues canal 'treaty which had been incorporated in the original con vention. He charged that these re strictions had been copied almost ver batim from the old treaty, . the only material change being in the omission of the words "in time of war as in time of peace," from rule one of the 8uez canal agreement. This omission did not, however, in his opinion, change the character of the agreement, as there was no limitation, as to time or' country, preventing the United States frim controlling the canal in case of hostility with any other power, The only reply," he said, "which the advocates of tbe treaty make to criti cisms, is that the canal would be un der the full control of the United States in time of war, but this is no more true now than under the old treaty, and it is a strange thing that all the provisions refer to the control of tbe canal in war, notwithstanding it is contended here that in that con tingency the removal of this phrase places the canal under our absolute control.". He said the war restrictions . of the treaty were entirely inconsistent with the claims of 8enator Lodge, that this country should say who should use tbe canal and who should not in case of hostilities. He contended that the only power given to the United States which was not given to Great Britain was found in the laat sentence of regu lation two. providing that "the United States shall be at liberty, to maintain auch military police along the canal as may be necessary to protect it against lawlessness and disorder." "But this," he said, "was not sufficient to make the canal an American institution, and if the Davis amendment bad been necessary to render the original treaty ccepiaoicv i -anally necessary in this instance." He considered tun pending treaty every whit as objec tionable as the treaty of last session. He Quoted the fourth article of the treaty as follows: "it ta agreed that no change or ter ritorial sovereignty or of interna tional relatione of the country or countries traversed by the before mentioned canal shall affect the gen eral principle of neutralization or tbe obligation of the high contracting parlies under tbe present treaty. The effect of thia provision, he said, was inevitably to surrender control of the canal belt in case the ownership of the land embraced in it should pass to the United States. He pointed, out that this restriction had not been in corporated in tbe first treaty, and said it was entirely out or place in tbe re agreement Indeed, he thought there would be almost as mucn objection to guaranteeing neutrality on land owned by tbe United States on the Isthmus of Panama as on land held by a canal crossing the peninsula of Florida. In conclusion. Senator Bacon an nounced that while be bad no inten tion of voting for the treaty he would do nothing to obstruct its ratification. Senator Cullom congratulated tne Senate and" the country upon the fact tbat there are two things In connec tion with the new treaty upon which, he said, practically all are agreed. One of these was the desirability of the aupercession of the Ciavton-Bul- wer treaty and the other tbat or tbe necessity for the construction of an isthmian canal- He contended that tbe new treaty radically changed the conditions pre sented by the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, clearly relieving it of tbe neces sity of such an amendment as that " - . A. IL. made. to tne oia treaty upon tne sug gestion of Senator Davis, because the treaty itself would permit the United 8tates. under international law to own, manage and defend tbe canal in any way that it may choose. In other words, be added, In a war with Great' Britain or with any other power, the treaty would be suspended, under tne law which governs nations, unfit tbe war should be concluded, wnen .it would be revived and again enforced.

Democrats Will Make Minority Re port Opposing the Measure. Bv Telegraph to tiw Morning star; Washington, Dec. 11. At a meet ing of the Ways and Means Commit tee to-day Chairman Payne was di rected to favorably report to the House the Philippine tariff bill which the Republican members of the com mittee agreed upon yesterday. Tbe report will be made Friday and the bill will be considered in the House next Tuesday, with' a vote at 4 P. M. on Wednesday, instead of on Tuesday, as at first planned. Some surprise was occasioned at the failure of tbe minority of the commit tee to ask for a division and vote on the question of reporting the bill. In the absence of such request no vote was recorded. Numerous conferences of Demo cratic members were held prior to the meeting of the Ways and Means Com mittee to day. because of the question f which had arisen as to the united op position to the Philippine bill drafted by the Republican members. It de veloped in this connection that the four Louisiana members now in the city Messrs. Robertson, Meyer, Bans dell and Davey were favorable to the bill, and that the two Louisiana members ut the city Messrs. Broussard and Breazeale probably would favor it. Among their asso ciates the Louisiana members made no concealment of tbe fact that the sugar industry of their State required the measure of protection against Philippine eucar which the majority bill gave by applying the Dingley rates. Under these circumstances tbe minority members reached no deci sion as to opposing the bill and, al though there will be a minority re port opposing the measure on general grounds, the Louisiana members will hold themselves individually free to vote for the bill.

NO CHANGE IN ORGANIZATION Seaator Jones Uoaalmoosly Re-elected Chairmaa Committee Assignments. Important Chsnr.es ' Proposed , by Republicans. By TeiezrsDH to ibe Morning star Washington, Dec. 11. The Dem ocratic Senators to-day held their first caucus of the present session. Its purpose was to consider committee assignments, but the occasion was more than ordinarily- significant be cause of the general attendance upon the caucus. All the Senators elected as Democrats, with the exception of Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, were present as were all tbe Senators who were elected as Silver Republi cans or Populists. All the independ ents, except Senator Teller.of Colora do, had entered the Democratic caucus neld just before adjournment last March. but Senator Teller tha remain ed away. He was present however, at to-day's conference and participated in the proceedings. The caucus was called at the instance of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who stated that be bad thought it possible that tbe new Senators might want to make some change in the officers of tbe caucus. There was, however, a gen eral expression of satisfaction with the present officials, and Senator Jones was re elected unanimously chairman of the caucus. The old committee on order of business also was re appointed,, and tbe only vacancy on that committee was filled by the selection of Senator Dubois, of Idaho, who waa the choice of all the Western members of the caucus. During the proceedings Senator Tillman suggested tbat there should ba frequent conferences, and a con tinued effort to agree upon the main features of all political controversies. There was a quite general response to this suggestion, and the opinion was fairly unanimous that the party should present a united front per mitting no more straggling than was absolutely necessary. Senator Jones presented a statement from the Republican Committee on Committees, outlining its wishes as to the committee asaignmenis,f rom which it appeared that the Republicans were anxious to increase the Republican membership of several committees and to decrease the Democratic member ship of a few committees Tbe most important change suggested by them was that the Republicans should be allowed to add a member to their side of the Committee on Commerce, while the Democrats ahould agree to surren der one of the places on that commit tee held by them. The committee as now constituted includes) ten Republi can members and seven Democratic members. It was decided vigorously to oppose this innovation. The Re publicans also expressed a desire to in crease the membership of the Commit tee on Agriculture ani Census, from nine to eleven each,the two new mem bers to be Republicans; to increase the Committee on Olaima from thirteen to fourteen, the Republicans to have eight members and the Democrats six, as against seven and six respectively, as the committee is now constituted. An- increase is also proposed in the Committee on Foreign . Relations; Ai it at present stands the com mittee numbers eleven members, four of whom are Democrats. The pro posal is to make it consist of thirteen members, eignt oi wnom snail oe ac publicana and five Democrats. A change was also suggested in the Com mittee on Irrigation, which is at present composed of six Republicans and five Democrats. The change, if adopted, would give a membership of eleven, only four of whom would be Democrats. The Democrats decided to oppose the proposed changes in the committee on Claims and irrigation. The Republican committee suggest ed no changes in the committees on appropriations, finance and judiciary; but indicated that they will continue Senator Jones, of Nevada, on the Finance Committee, thus practically adding one to the Republican repre sentation, and taking one from the op the years. es position representation. The Repub licans did not indicate any intention to take care of Senator Wellington in the matter of committees nor was any suggestion made in the caucus that the Democrats ahould find places for him, .

By the Qeversor of Alabama la the Case of Mrs. Nasals Cheek. Bv Telegraph to tne Morning Btar. Montgomery, Ala., Dec 1L Gov. Jelks to-day granted a parole to Mrs. Nannie Cheek, who was recently con victed in Henrv county of killing Mr. Danzey, her divorced husband. She 1 had married Danzey when she was 13 years old.
