It idicutes ic urther Discussion of the Hoar ResolutionJudg ment Should Be Re Served UnUI Colom- bia Can Be Heard Washington, Dec. 18. The Hoar res- :ut;on inquiring into me r-u:iaic. ation was discussed today in the Sen te by Mr. Daniel of Virginia. He had arily begun his remarks when Mr. ullom of Illinois interrupted sugges ts that reference to the treaty might ot be fair in view of. the fact that the reaty had not yet been considered by ie committee on foreign relations. Mr. Daniel called attention to ,the ict that the treaty had Deen maac ubiic and that he had a right to discuss in open session if he liked. He pro eded to make sarcastic allusions to he rapidity of the developments at M. Bunau-Varilla he charac- erized as a man who had played more parts than any actor appearing in re- ?r,f vMre tvti- nanli1 remarked that need not be reminded that he hould not discuss the treaty any. more rr.pl y than it had been discussed in anquet halls and on the hustings by preservatives of the administration. ' Peace with honor" was the proper leal of the American government in ir. Daniel's opinion. The action of President Cleveland in the Chicago ike and of President McKinley in ryir.g to prevent war with Spain, were samples of the Ideal use of executive uthority. "I take with a. grain of 3t, remarked Mr. Daniel, "the hor ibie vision Hftorf nr v the assistant . f " cretary of state In his New York etch as published in the press with headlines, 'world-wide war' which ''as threatened on account of the sit uation at Panama.

Governor Aycock cassed throna-h TVTt V I x js ciiiuBiuii loaay en route to Baltl- more, but did not tarry long enough to visit the capitol. Members of the state delegation regretted this, for, as Senator Simmons remarked, "We would like to have introduced him to the prominent Democrats in the nation and launched his. boom for the vice presidency." One North Carolinian who was pres ent remarked: "I would not have op posed that program unless evidence had been presented that it would inter fere with Chief Justice Clark's presi dential candidacy." Governor Aycock will not stop here ph his return, as nearly all the mem bers of the state delegation will have returned home. ' The Baltimore News this afternoon contained the following interview with Governor Aycock: In iis room at the New Carrolllon this afternoon Governor Aycock said that the south was more prosperous than ever before. The cotton crop in North Carolina was good and' the grow ers made a good profit. As for cor porations, the governor declared that North Carolina had more than quad rupled its investments in them in the! last three years. He was asked what he thought of the plan to hold the re union of the United Confederate veter ans In Baltimore in 1905. "That," said the governor, would be . an excellent thing. I am sure that North Carolina, will support Baltimore in the effort to get the reunion. I am not an old soldier myself, but I have t between Russia and Japan over Man two brothers who were. There are ;'churia and Corea, in that it provides thousands of old Confederates in my 'for the opening of two Manchurian state who, I am sure, would be de- ports Mukden and Antung to foreign lighted to come to Baltimore.

Asked whom his state favored for the Democratic presidential Governor Aycock said: nomination, aiama It was like Richard the hunchback, he said, who had no delight save to gaze upon his shadow in the sun and de scant upon his own deformity. "Sent into this breathing world scarcely half made up, aud that so lamely and ill fashioned that the very dogs bark at me as I halt by them," quoted Mr, Daniel. The republic was not able to defend itself, much less to defend any one else. He challenged any person to show when and where the American government had ever at any place by force prevented any Central or South American government from putting down a disturbance or revolution with in its own border. "If Panama' was an independent na tion on the fourth of November, when it was so. proclaimed," added Mr. Dan iel, "that independence was soon snuff ed out, like a farthing candle, through the agency of her ambassador to this country. A treaty was signed Novem ber 16th, and it should be read by any person who desires to learn what has become of the ' independence of Pana Ofir ma." Mr. Daniel referred to the treaty ' Clinton, formerly known as Surratts with New Grenada, to the duties and j ville. The sale was held as a conse rights of which Colombia and the Unit- i quence of the distribution of the Jen ed States alike succeeded, . wh'ich pro- ! kins estate, Mrs. Surratt's maiden vlded for uninterrupted transit across j name having been Mary Jenkins, the isthmus and the right of the United i The articles include the effects of States to interfere if necessary to keep 1 the Surratt house, many of which had this transit open.

That was a matter wnicn was f not yet within the knowledge ot tne people here. Mr." Daniel quoted from the diplomatic correspondence of Se ward, Fish, Evarts and Blaine to show the United States regarded itself as bound to guarantee- the sovereignty of New Grenada and its successor, Co lombia, over the isthmus. "We should ponder long and well," concluded the Virginia senator, "before we trample upon the honorable doctrine therein set down. Let not the threat of war with France or the utterances of Panama's ambassador as he flits about the country,- disturb the serenity of our, delib erations. I do hot pretend to go into the whole question of the rights of Panama. I have: merely called atten tion to the honored policy of the United States." The resolution went over at the con clusion of Mr. Daniel's speech. Mr. Fulton of Oregon called up the bill "making an appropriation for the Lewis and Clark exposition and made a speech in its support. At 2.55 the Senate went into execu tive session.

Mr. OPEN DOOR TREATY - Ratification Opsns the Way for Disagreement With Russia Washington, Dec. 18. The Senate to day ratified the treaty with China by which the ports of Mukden and An- tung in Manchuria are to be opened to the commerce of the world. The ratification of the treaty has an important bearing on the present crisis vision or to any arrangement which will permit foreigners, and particularly i the Japanese to freely enter Manchu- !ria territory. The basis of the present negotiations oetween rcussia ana Ja pan has been a proposition that Rus sia maintain control over Manchuria, j Should an agreement be made between I the two powers by which Russia would remain paramount in Manchuria the United States government might find itself in the embarrassing position of endeavoring to conduct trade relations with the Chinese province through Mukden and Antung against, the wishes of Russia. This government holds that as Manchuria is nominally, at least, a Chinese province, and as China has consented by solemn treaty ar rangement to the application of the open door at the ports mentioned, Rus sia has no legal right to prevent the treaty's provisions from being put Into effect. The ratifications must be exchanged in Washington by October , 1904. When this has been done the treaty will be proclaimed arid will immediately become effective. MBS.

GOVERNOR HEARD ROASTS ROOSEVELT Efforts to Get the President Interested in the New Or leans Celebration Were Unavailing New Orleans, , Dec 18. Governor Heard, In an interview today, roundly denounces President Roosevelt ' for In sulting the state of Louisiana and city of New Orleans in failing to send a representative to the Louisiana cen tennial, now under way, after being repeatedly invited. Both Spain and France sent repre sentatives and men of war, but Pres ident Roosevelt Ignored the celebration, declined to come himself, although personally invited1, but failed to make provision for any one to represent him or the governrnent although Importun ed to do so by both senators, who gave up in disgust. When Governor Heard' telegraphed to the president suggest ing that 'Admiral Wise, who is here in command of the Minneapolis, be ap pointed to represent him he consented. "If I had not suggested Admiral Wise's name to the president," said Governor Heard, I really believe there would be no one on hand to represent him when the interesting exercises are begun. "My opinion is that President Roose velt has ignored the state and insulted the representatives of the foreign gov ernments who ha ve; generously accept-, ed the invitation to come to this city out. Still others were overcome by smoke and heat and fell to the ground. Others were either fatally or seriously injured. At this hour it is believed there are many bodies in the burning building who were overcome and could not be rescued. Fire broke out about 11 o'clock to night, and owing to the great con-fu-ion it is difficult to get details. Six or seven dead have already been taken out, but at this time names can hot be secured. The damage to the building is estimated at $25,000 or $50, 000. 'Every ambulance in Nashville has been sent to the scene and a score of physicians, white and black, are on the grounds caring for the Injured.

Fire was left in the fire-places to dry out the house after plastering, and it is supposed this is the source of the fire.

EASTERN SITUA TION UNCHANGED Correspondents atTokio Take a Pessimistic View of Affairs London, Dec. 19. 4 a. m. There is no chancre to be recorded in the far eastern sltuation, and it is difficult to discover from the dispatches from that part of the world the cause (except that no settlement has been reached) for the increased pessimism which is declared to exist. The Tokio corre- crnment keps its counsel, but he denies the rumored dispatch of warships and troops to Corea. It is declared that there is extreme astonishment in St. Petersburg at Japan's refusal of Russia's . proposed settlement, but it is represented that there' is considerable official uneasi ness over Great Britain's alleged unfriendly-attitude and the firm position of the United States in connection with the situation. It Is said that Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minis ter, is especially anxious to avoid war. The Daily Express claims to have authority for stating that all torpedo officers under instructions at Ports mouth and Devon port have been se cretly ordered to hold themselves in readiness for immediate mobilization, and. have been appointed to their ships, The Express says this is in con nection with affairs in the far east. WOOD OR RUNCIE v. i A Case That Calls for a Court Martial Washington, Dec. 18. Under the cap tion "A case for a court," the Army and Navy Register will print tomorrow the following editorial on the case of Gen. Wood: "The secretary of war should order I without further delay a court martial for the trial of Gen. Leonard Wood, U. S. A., or that of Lieutenant James Runcie. "Such action is fully Justified and, indeed, rendered absolutely necessary by the situation in the Senate military committee. "There exists one or two conditions: Gen. Wood is responsible for acts, which, if they exist, make him a fit subject for trial by a military court; ojrLieu tenant Runcie, who is the re- pponsioie aumor oi me senuus ultt.6 against his senior officer, is guilty of; misrepresentation. Either situation calls for departmental action, and the culprit, whoever it may be, must be dealt with severely.' If Lieutenant Runcie is accusing falsely he should be punished in the measure of the trouble he has caused; if he has told the truth, the accused should be brought before, a military court. "It is a question, Mr. Root, this week, an(j not next month, therefore, whether the trial shall be of general Wood or Lieutenant Runcie." MacA-thur's Explanation Washington, Dec. 18. Secretary Root received a telegram today from Major General McArthur at San Francisco, explaining that his remarks at Hono lulu j! lrf regard to possible war with Germany were made In private conver sation. The war department accepts this explanation as satisfactory and will take, no action in the maXter. Leaped for Life Dayton, O., Dec. 18.

Flying Experiment at Kitty Hawk Pronounced a Success. -Good Speid in tht Teeth of a Mod erate Gale Up the Coast Norfolk, Va.. Dec 18. A successful trial of a flying machine was made yesterday near Kitty Hawk, N. C by Wilbur and Orville Wright of Day- ton. O. The machine flew three miles in theL face of a wind blowing at a registered velocity of twenty-one miles an hour, then gracefully descended' to the earth at the spot selected by the man in the navigator's car as a suit able landing place. The machine has no balloon attachment, but gets its force from propellers worked by a small engine. During the trial Wilbur Wright occupied the operator's seat and steered the apparatus. For three years the Wrights have ex perimented at Kitty Hawk with their invention. They chose that point be cause of its isolation and the absence of publicity. By the merest chanc the success became known, as neither of the men is ready to make public the details of their machine. The flight began from a platform constructed on a hifh sand hill near Kitty Hawk. There was no starting apparatus used to give momentum to the huge bird-like affair. When all was ready Wilbur Wright took his place In the car in the centre of the machine and his brother released the catch which held the affair to the top of the incline. Gravity did the rest, and while a rush down the slope was golnr on the navigator started a pmall gasoline en gine in the floor of the car. By a sys SpeaK in Governor and 'Congressman the Principal Attractions ; at the Banquet of the North Carolina Soci ety Tar Heel El oquence Ap plauded Baltimore, Dec. 18. Special. Gover nor Aycock was the ftar in the ban quet of the North Carolina Society ot Baltimore at the Carrollton Hotel to night. From all the chandeliers hung North Carolina flags, and tiny Caro lina flags adorned the lapels of every guest. The tables wer.e decorated with trailing vines, Southern gray moss, holly and open bolls of cotton, while small Carolina pine trees stood at in tervals around the room. The menu included North Carolina planked shad, turkey and roast partridge. President Edwin Geer presided. The governor was rreeted by prolonged cheers and aroused great enthusiasm. Congress man Edward W. Pou, of the fourth district, made an eloquent address on the progress of the state in the past thirty years. Governor-elect Edwin Warfleld was tA. witv, considerable aoDlause and Tllslnlr address on behalf of Maryland, the adopted state of so many 4 Tor Heels. A "number of other aa- dresses'were made and It was a lata hour when "Auid Lang Syne" followed "The Old North State," and the bril liant annual banquet of the society was ended. j THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. Governor Aycock spoke In part as follows: "It was North Carolina which stayed out of the union until tho first ten amendments to the constitution of the United States were proposed, those amendments which secured the sover eignty of the states and the liberty of the individual, citizen. It was that state that remained in the union as long as possible, but which, when she went out, did so with such precipita tion as to lose the first life at Bethel; with such perseverance as to chargo farthest at Gettysburg; with such stubbornness as to lose more lives than any other state In the southern Con federacy; with such fidelity a to lay down more spins at Appomattox.
