Senator' Hale proceeded to iMivcr a vigorous denunciation of the p:. -position to annex Cuba. , Senator Piatt of Connecticut, author c: the famous riatt amendment, and ,: e cf the leaders of ths arlministra t;.oii party in the Senate, spoke earn estly arsd almost passionately against the introduction of the resolution. He expressed the hope that the time would r.ver come when Cuba should be ad mitted irto the Union, and declared th'-it. tho bet interests of both nations ' re-iUirecl that they should remain apart. Iff deplored the offering- of tlie resolu tion . at this time on account of the ffect v.hich it might have upon the I'ulnns. leading them to believe that there v,as a sentiment among the A m erican people and with the Ameri . in government in favor of annexa tion, a sentiment which he insisted did so', exist. -e:;ator Lodge joined in deprecation, v the Newiands resolution.

The bill went to the calender. - . " Mr. Morgan addressed I the Senate on the canal question, discussed the pres ident, who had favored an isthmian canal, and said he followed many Re publican presidents on this" subject as well as .officers of the army and navy. He said sarcastically that he had no doubt that a canal could be built at Panama because the president had paid so. Mr. Morgan criticised the good faith of the president in not en forcing the Spooner . law.- The presi dent, he said, had completed his cam paign against that, a.ct by having Mr. Hay sign a treaty with "somebody from Panama." lie said the presi dent had known of the uprising before it began and hadtood ready with armed ships to protect tho3e engaged in it. Mr.- Morgan criticised the adminis tration for its policy toward the Re public of Panama, He quoted the offi cial dispatches to show that the United States had violated tha treaty of 1845 by s preventing Colombia from putting down the Panama uprising. "We snatched Panama from the womb of Colombia," was one of Mr. Morgan's observations. "Hereafter November 3, 1903, will be a saints' day to be cele brated by all filibusters who destroy governments in the interest of peace." Later in his remarks Mr. Morgan paid his respects to the president in sarcastic fashion as "our accomplished literary chief magistrate," who can re tire to the seclusion of our great pub lic parks, and there, in "the solitude and retirement that he loves so well, can dream of wars of conquest and spoliation, of another Boer war, as is predicted by Gen. Reyes of Colombia." Mr. Morgan not having concluded his speech, the motion to approve the re port of the committee on committees went: over. It was agreed that Mr. Morgan should be recognized tomor row, after Mr. Spooner's remarks on the Xewlands resolution. Mr. Cullom asked unanimous consent to an agreement to begin debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill December 7 and continue it until December 15; that on December 15 and 16 the time be divided equally between the oppo- nents and advocates of the measure; and that on - December" 16.: a vote be taken on the bill and all amendments pending or to De ouerea. xnis request was unanimously . agreed to.

Senators now studying the question did not know f their existence until Secretars' Har requested that the Sen ate take the action that would make the papers common property of the publlc.v . According' the papers will b& issued in a few days as a public docu ment. , The opponents of the policy of the administration claim that these papers, and particularly one by Minister Bia lock, confirms their contention that tne United States has acted in bad faith. This letter states that it 4is only be cause he agreed to the insertion of the clause guaranteeing the sovereignty of New Granada in the isthmus that Mr. Eidlock was able to secure discrimina tion regarding duties, etc., set forth in the earlier, articles of the treaty. The language of the treaty on this point is that "as a special compensation for the said advantages and for the favors they hve acquired by the 4th, 5th and th articles of this treaty, the United States guarantees positively and ef faciously to New Granada by the pre sent stipulation the perfect neutrality of the before mentioned isthmus, with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea may not be interrupted or embarrassed in any fu ture time while this treaty exists; and in consequence the United States also guarantees in the same manner the right of sovereignty and property which New Granada has and possesses over the said territory."

Speaker Can non and his lieutenants in the House are still obdurate on the matter of re fusing to adjourn the present session sine die just because the Republicans and Democrats of. the Senate have an agreement to vote on the Cuban bill December 16. The House Republicans make the point that ff this should be done the record of the House would - . show that C-ngress was called together in extra session, by the president for the purpose of passing the bill giving the approveal of Congress to the Cuban reciprocity treaty, and that they ad journed before the bill was ' passed.' They admit that as the House has passed the bill, and that as it is sure to pass the Senate by a large majority, the object of . the session will have been attained when the agreement to vote on a certain day has been made, but they stick on the point that to ad journ ."with the bill pending would be misconstrued by-.the country. They say the president would be accused of having failed to induce Congress to carry out the recommendations of his message and the House of having de serted the -battlefield. Nevertheless and notwithstanding,' as Senator Vest used to say, there will be little or no 'legis laion considered in either house of Congress after tomorrow until the 1 regular seseloh meets December 7. j There will be some speeches made and j somebody will be left on duty to move ! an adjournment from day to day. 'On December 16 the Cuban bill will be voted on and passed. ' WAGES REDUCED . 4- Mill Operatives Quietly Sub mit to the Inevitable Boston, Nov. 23.

FAILED TO REPORT Members of Virginia Legisla ture Will Not Receive Certificates Richmond,. Va, Nov. 23. Thirty five members af the House and nine in the Senate were refused certificates of election today by the electorate board because .. they had not complied with the Bartcsdale new pure election law. They are required to make affi davit to the electorate board within thirty days after the election, showing Jthe amount and character of their ex penditures in the campaign, and for failure to do so they are not only to lose their seats but are subject to a fine of $5,000.' The fine goes to the school fund and it is the duty of the (attorney general to prosecute the de linquents promptly. The law also ap plies to the defeated candidates, but few of these have so far reported. (Only a week remains to comply with the law and a number are7 likely to be delinquent. The electorate board to- j day awarded .certificates to those mem- ' bers who have complied wiUi the law. ' "PRINCIPAL. OFFICE" - The New Idea of a Virginia Law Maker Richmond, Va., Nov. 23. Delegate E. C. Folkes of Richmond announced in the legislature, today that he would offer an amendment to the public ser vice corporations bill defining what constitutes the "principal effice" of such a corporation. The effect of the adoption of the proposed amendment, ', as Mr. Folkes stated, would be to re quire the Southern Railway, under;, the terms of its Virginia charter, to re move its headquarters from Washing ton to some Virginia city on pain of forfeiture of its state charter. Mr. ' Folkes amendment will define the '. "principal office" to be that point at j. which the president's and auxiliary ofj fices and clerical forces are located. J ' Obstinacy Co&g'ress Simmons Will Oppose Al bright, for Postmaster at Mt. Airy Carmack's ' Resolution Loaded WitH a" Cam- paign Issue Br THOMAS X PJSXCB Washington, Nov. 23. Special. The extraordinary session of congress would come to an end tomorrow but for the obstinacy of Speaker Cannon, who declares that he will not agree to any . such program. Conferences today between House and Senate leaders failed to bring about an agreement as to . adjournment, but the prediction is freely made that all Bides will get to gether tomorrow and the finish will take place Wednesday. The House can not now muster a quorum, and with the Senate fully resolved not to pass the 'Cuban reciprocity bill until the reg ular session .the uselessness of further extending the extra, session of congress is apparent. Most of the members of the House have departed for their homes with the intention. of remaining until December. Representatives Thomas and Patterson, the only North Carolina members in the city," will leave for the state Wednesday. Senator Simmons- announced today his purpose of fighting the eonflrma ton of Postmaster Albright of Mt. Airy. "After resiling the charges pre ferred, together with the evidence In support of them, I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Albright ouybt not to be the postmaster at Mt. Airy'"" was ; the Senator's comment in. referring to 'the appointment, which has already been held up in the Senate at the In stance of Senator Overman. The charges to which Senator Simmons re fers are made under oath. Mr. Albright was mail agent on the old C. F. & Y. V. road, his run being into Wilming ton. It is alleged that he did a pro duce business in the mail car, buying up birds at small towns, which It is charged he carried into Wilmington rn government mail pouches." On his trips out of Wilmington it is charged that he smuggled whiskey under simi lar circumstances. Senator Simmons was impressed with these charges, which will be investigated by the the post office committee of which he Is a member. Among the reasons assigned for the opposition to confirmation is that Albright is not a bona fide resi dent of the tojvri,. but that he located there for the purpose of serving as posmaster, and for no other reason. Several hundred citizens signed a pe tition to that effect. Senator Carmack's resolution pro viding for an investigation of the post office scandals was introduced at the Instance of Senator Gorman, and will of course have the united support of the Democrats. The Republicans are disposed to defeat the- measure, for an honest investigation of the po3t office department with fo many leaders of the G. O. P. involved is what they do not want. If they defeat this resolu tion, one of the big issues in the cam. paign next year will have been created. The Carmack resolution has not been referred to a committee.

Leonard Wood, the child soldier, whom thai president Jumped over the heads 06 the veteran lighters In the army in or der to promote him. The North Caro lina senator, like theniajority of his colleagues, is of 'thega, opinion ,thati Wood's lightning-like promotion was a discreditable piece of, business. II will oppose his confirmation. There Is at least one Democrat, who receives . favors from the White House, and as member of the milUary committee, who is said to be : standlnjr by, the ,7. president ln his effort to bring about Wood's confirmation.
