DELIBERATIONS OP THE SKN-
l. : ATH THEREON-CIIANCES FOR
4 RATIFICATION
t . .-:
u - ' . .
WITH THE COMMITTEE UDHS
' Seaator Sherman Made a Speech in
: Favor of the Treaty While Senator
if organ Spoke In Opposition
Thereto.
TTaabingteni Feb. Anglo-
; .S American arbitration treaty was under
. ; consideration by the senate frotn 1 o'clock
until 5:30" today. The entire proceeding
: wne Jua executive session and consequent-
'.? ly behind dosed doors.
j The first halt.of the session. .was. spent
in debating a motion introduced by Sen-
" ator Hill to consider the treaty in open
: session end the most nhimated part of
I the day's proceeding's was based on this
'. rootioa. ..The debate was characterized
' i by several sharp passages at arms be-
tween the author of the motion and Scn-
1 i ators Morgan Lodge and Sherman the1
three lost named contending strenuously
;j for the observance of the senates rules
5 on secrecy in dealing with the treaty. It
was stated that it was the wiBh of the
S administration that the public should be
J excluded from the debate.
The only Tote of the day was secured
on the Hill motion which was defeated
the count showing only 9 for and 49
against The affirmative vote was cast
by two gold democrats Hill and Lindsay;
two silver democrats Roach nnd Till-
man; two independent silver republicans
Teller and Pettigrcw; two populists
: Peffer and Stewart and one strnight re-
publican Brown. Tliis wns not consid-
ered as in any respect a test vote as
Ithere are known to be many senators op-
; posed to the trenty who did not favor a
departure from the ordinary practice of
the senate. Still the friends of the treaty
talieve that sufficient was developed as
to the attitude of senators as to justify
' .'Jtke conclusion thnt the treaty is certain
of ratification if it can be brought to a
ijvote. It is claimed that the straight re-
I publican vote is solidly favorable to rati-
fication and that a faction nt least of all
c;)the other elements will Is? found in thnt
..icolumu when the vote is announced. It
.was made apparent however that the
ftreuty would stand no chnnce without
"'the committee amendments.
The supporters of it however are not
ko sanguine of enrly action ns thnt a
t favorable result will be secured. A de-
termined spirit of delay was made mani-
ffest and when Senator Sherman ex-
pressed the hope that a conclusion could
I lie reached in another sitting Senator
: '. Teller frankly told him that lie would be
I disappointed in this respect indicating
' ' that several more sessions would be nec-
essary to the completion of a matter of
such importance.
With the Hill matter disposed of. the
into took up the treaty on its merits.
l t'Vinator Shcrinnn. chairman of the for-
eign relations committee spoke lor about
an nour making a strong plea lor me
ratification of tne treaty winch he said.
was the realization ot a urenm tnat nau
y long been cherished in the United States.
He quoted from - ninny works and con-
ij gressional records to show that arbitra
tion was a distinctly American policy
and referred to the resolutions of 18S!
fljid 1893 ns proof of these statements
lie also explained the amendments made
by the comniitte on foreign relations and
defended the main amendment ns essen-
tial to the proiier understanding and in-
tornrptntinn of the p.irreenient. He urced
i that this amendment did not detract from
the treaty's scope except that through
removing the Monroe doctrine from the
arbitration it nlso raised the question of
the Nicaraguan canal which was he said
einlraced in the Monroe doctrine.
;! He said thnt the amendment removing
'.i the king of Sweden and Norway ns um-
nire had been ninde after due delibcra-
''! tion nnd that this step was only taken
ns precaution against unweiconie conui
Hons.
Senator Morgan replied to Senator
; : Sherman spenking in opiwsition to the
' treaty. The Alabama senator's argument
.iras largely constitutional in tendency. He
dwelt with especial emphasis upon its
sweeping chamcter claiming that it
'gives to the president the right to deter-
jinine for this country the circumstances
under which arbitration shall be resorted
J to and robs congress of the prerogative
; especially conterrea upon it.
' I In reply to a question from Senator
I Vest. DUt so as to express the Missouri-
I an's convictions Mr. Morgan said he be-
lieved the ratification of the treaty would
amount to nn abrogation of the right of
J. the senate to co-operate with the execu
tive in the making ot treaties.
Senator Morcran said that it behooved
all persons to regard with especial cau-
tion the overtures of Great -Britain in
such nn interest and remarked that the
United Kingdom had never been es-
pecially known for thinking of the wel-
fare of the United States.
Senator Morsan still hnd the floor when
the senate adjourned. His nnd Senator
Sherman's were the only set speeches
made but there were many brief utter-
ances. Senator Daniel expressed opposi-
tion to ratification on the irround of en
tangling alliances and Senator Turpie
S.skeu n unmoor 01 questions poiuiiiiK hi
the same direction.
Snnntor Nelson made a plea for the ri
teution of the chaise containing King
Oscar of Sweden ns umpire. He con-
lonilod thnt Oscar was a benign ruler nnd
a man whose sympathy's were largely
with America.
Mr Sherman cave notice that he would
sk the senate to take up the question
again tomorrow and to sit it out.
BISMARCK ON ARBITRATION.
Thinks an Arbitration Trenty Would Not
Prevent war in Many unses.
New York Feb. 8. A dispatch to the
World frofn Ixmdon says:
l'rinee Bismarck has received a repre-
sentative of the World nt his castle at
Friederichsruhe. The correspondent re-
. quested nn expression ot opinion troni
l'rinee Bismnck on international arbi
tration. The great diplomat's view wns
especially desired in a purely nendemic
or theoretic sense if Prince Bismarck
wished it to lie considered so on the ulti-
mate success of a treaty between two
great nations ns thnt pending between
the United States and Great Britain nnd
WW-fcf ALL ELSE FAILS. rTl

specifically if he would consent to ex-
press himself whether a failure to ratify
would be likely to bear the reputation
of a grave international rupture; in short
if dispute between nations might not in
future be settled by arbitrutiou instead
of by war. 1
Prince Bismarck's answer . wns made
through Count Rantzau the son-in-law of
the prince who enjoys the closest most
confidential relations with the great chan-
cellor in these words:
"On the merits of the arbitration
treaty now pending in the United States
the prince has not a word to say. He
wishes it to be understood that the opin-
ion he now expresses is purely theoreti-
cal or academical in respect to arbitra-
tion of disputes between nations not as
an expression upon the merits of . the
Sence treaty agreed npon between Great
Britain and the United States.
"l'rinee Bismarck declares emphatical-
ly that he dreads war though he has been
driven to advocate it when there were
no other means of settling dispute and
where the fate of the Fatherland was in-
volved. -
"Arbitration he most certainly would
have preferred could he have expected
a decision would have been such as he
considered just. It is necessary to re-
member however the Caroline Islands
and the pope's decision against Germany
In behalf of Spain.
"In private life" the statement contin-
ues "the value of any agreement between
different persons having precise word-
ing depends entirely upon the character
of the contracting patties and even then
there are the law courts to appeal to
when differences arise. But where is the
law court any law court in fact
which could eventually enforce
its sentence in the casu of two
great nations entering into a treaty ol
arbitration?
"No stntesmnn in this world is so pow
erful ns to withstand the voice of the peo-
ple in certain instances. No arbitration
treaty will succeed in avoiding war in in-
ternational disputes when the w-hole fu-
ture of the nations depends on the way
the decision is rendered.
"The terrors of modern warfare con
tinues the statement "the uncertainty as
to what the end will be will do much
more to prevent war than courts could do.
Once the people are educated enough to
comprehend that war is a double-edged
sword the aggressors often being the
losers then war will cease.
"The present agitation in Great Britain
and the United States in favor of inter
national arbitration proves how human
ity has advanced. It is to be applauded
for that reason it not tor anything else.

DECIDED NOT TO OBJECT.
Washington Feb. 8. Representative
George Washington Murray of South
Carolina the only colored member of the
house who it was reported several days
ago would object on Wednesday during
the counting of the electoral vote to the
recording of South Carolina's vote on
the ground that the election laws of that
state were unconstitutional today aban-
doned nil intention of interrupting the
proceedings on Wednesday. Mr. Mur-
rav. nfter lookinir into the precedents nnd
consulting with his pnrty leaders decided
that nothing could 1 effected by such
a dramatic notion nnd. as he said "some
linrm might result." He has therefore
simply tiled the memonnls from the re-
imblicans of his state in the usual way
and says that he hopes before the ses-
sion closes to have an opportunity to dis
cuss on the tloor the questions which they
involve.
FAILED BANK'S DIVIDENDS.
Wnshington Feb. 8. The comptroller
of the currency has declared dividends
iu favor of creditors of failed national
banks as follows: A first dividend of 50
per cent for the National Hank of Illinois
of Chiengo heretofore unofficially an-
nounced: 30 ner cent of the National
bank of Jefferson Tex.; 10 per cent for
the First National Dank of Stnrkville

TARIFF TINKERING.
The Committee Decide That a Duty
Should Be Placed on Cotton Ties.
Washington Feb. 8. The republican
mcmler8 of the ways and means commit
tee of the house today dealt with the iron
and steel schedules of the new tariff bill
and made considerable progress. Tin
plate was put at 1.7 cents per pound
which is a compromise rate as the n
son duty was 1.2 ceuts and the McKinlcy
duty 2.2 cents. Steel rails ore or manu-
factured iron manufactured pig iron nnd
bar iron the committee decided to leave
nt the present rates the senate placed
these articles in the Wilson law at consid-
erably righer rates than they were listed
in the Wilson bill ns passed by the house
nnd the present duties have proven sat-
isfactory to the manufacturers few of
whom hnven sked an increase; cotton ties
which the Wilson law placed on the free
list will be returned to the dutiable col-
umn. The committee decided to place
a dutv on them of 1-10 of n cent per pound
in nddition to the rate on iron of which
they are made.
A NT I -SO A L P I N G BILL.
Washington. Feb. 8. -The sennte com-
mittee on interstate commerce today con-
sidered the bill to prevent ticket broker-
age. Without coming to a definite con-
clusion the committee adjourned until
Wednesday though tne opinion wns ex
pressed that it would he useless to re-
port it this session because of the o-
position which would prevent the passage
of any bill nt this session.
The position of the railways in the last
campaign wns the bnsis of some opposi-
tion in committee. The alleged illegal nt-
tenmts bv railwnvs to tvade the inter-
I state comerce law were urged nnd
especially by Senators Gorman. Chandler
nnd Chilton.
No vote was taken but there was
general acquiesence in the view that it
would be best to allow the bill to go over
until the next congress when it wns
suggested the evils complained of could
be remedied by a general amendment to
the interstate commerce Inw.
At the meetinir of the committee next
Wednesday the bill may be taken up
again in view of the fact that there was
no formal action at tods moeth..

M. IIAXITOUX SPOKE.
He Does Not. Approve of the British Pol
icy in Egypt and Said So.
Paris Feb. 8. There was a big at-
tendance in the chnmber of deputies to-
dny in expectation of hearing nn exciting
debate on the Egyptian question as M.
Francois Deloncle the well known nnti
British deputy from Cnstellaine hnd an-
nounced his intention of interpellating the
government upon the action it intended
to take in view of the defiant utterances
of Sir Michael Hicks-Bench the chan
cellor of the exchequer in the British
house of commons on Friday last. M.
Deloncle today asked for n statement on
the question.
The diplomatic gallery was full and
among those who listened to the long
speech of M. Deloncle on the situation
wus Sir Edmund J. Monsou the British
ambassador. The minister for- foreign
affair? M. Ilanitoux. replying said he
was unwilling to engage m parleying be-
tween the two parliaments which might
be Jhc cause of mutual misunderstand-
ing. But he added the utterances of
Sir Michuel Hicks-Bench did not tend
toward a solution of pending international
questions. Great Britain he explained
had accepted the position of defending
the right of the caisse of the Egyptian
debt to meet the funds necessary to de-
fray the expenses of the Anglo-Egyptian
expedition to Dongola before the mixed
tribunal nt Alexandria. Why then
should she endeavor to discredit its ju-
risdiction which M. Ilanitoux stated
was approved by nil Europe. Contin-
uing M. Ilanitoux said that the Soudan
expedition gravely concerned the future
of Egyptian finances and France one
of the trustees of the Egyptian fund had
the right to ask that these expenses be
carefully examined. Many a time had
Egypt sunk enormous sums in- expedi-
tions into the Soudan and it was Eng-
land's effort to conquer the Soudan and
Abyssinia that -was compelling the pow-
ers to intervene. Then the French gov-
ernment thought it its to vrnff
Egypt that she was embarking in an en-
terprise that might again lead to a finan-
cial difficulty.
In: conclusion M. TJanitonx said that
he was convinced thnt owing to the del
icate situation existing in Europe at the
present moment that everyono would
agree that nothing should be done to in-
jure the concert of the powers but nt
the same time he leit it liicumneni upon
him to declare that as regards Egypt
nothing had been changed from an in-
ternational point of view nor wns there

AN EARLY REPORT.
Snn Antonio. Tex.. Feb. 8. (Snecial.)
The city election today was unusually
quiet the triangular aspect of the race
serving to keep down asperities. Mayor
Henry Elmendorf wns a candidate for re-
election and wns onnosed by County
Judge Bryan Callaghan and District At
torney Augustus ijewey.
At 9 o'clock tonight the vote has been
completed at but few of the boxes but
the prevalent impression is thnt Calla-
ghan is elected with Lewey a close sec-
ond. Cnllnghnn carried the German
wards on the east side of the river and
divided the Mexican votes on the west
side with the other candidates. Elmen-
dorf who has been nn easy favorite in
the betting will probably be distanced.
James r. Acwcomu and independent
republican candidate received only a
scattering vote.
