Hope Abandoned.
But they did not succeed, and al-
though the compromise negotiations
will continue as the question is de-
bated on the Senate floor, no one had
much hope tonight of an agreement.
The new Republican reservation
follows the general outline of the one
adopted in November, but it puts into
different and more specified from its
declaration regarding the article’s ob-
ligations.
Some of the Democrats were satis-
fied with it, but 28 was the peak of
Democratic vote which its Republican
advocates claimed for it in any even-
tuality and it would take at least 30
and probably 34 to make ratification
possible. It was indicated that Presi-
dent Wilson’s new letter on the sub-
ject, although it failed to stop the
compromise negotiations, has not been
without effect in stiffening the admin-
istration ranks against anything like
the old Republican reservation.
Democratic Senators were in disa-
greement over what the President
would do in the event of a compromise
ratification and many of them declar-
ed their intentions to let the doubt
resolve itself in favor of a conserva-
tive course.

Among the reasons given for his op-
position to Senator Hitchcock was that
he voted against submission to the
prohibition and women suffrage
amendments and had opposed the cur-
rency bill passed during President's
first term.
Republicans Discouraged.
So discouraged were the Republi-
can leaders that they had not decided
tonight whether their substitute reser-
vation would be offered at all in the
Senate. The way to consideration of
the subject on the Senate floor was
cleared just before adjournment by re-
adoption in a modified form of the
reservation on voting power in the
league. As is generally prevailed the
reservation, the last except that relat-
ing to Article 10 on the Republican
program declares that until the conev-
ant is amended so as to give equal
voting power the United States de-
clines to be bound by decisions to
which Congress has not previously
given consent.
