The saloon passengers were first aroused, and in such a manner as to occasion little alarm.

Washington, May 6.—The senate, by a vote of 43 to 26, refused to ratify the general arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain negotiated by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote. The rules of the senate require a majority of two- thirds for the ratification of treaties. Hence four more affirmative votes would have been required to secure a favorable result. The vote was pre- ceded by a short, spirited debate, in- troduced by Senator Mills of Texas, who made a strong appeal to the sen- ate against ratifying the agreement. He asserted that as amended the doc- ament wes most objectionable, not to say contradictory in terms. He point- ed out especially the provisions for the settlement of controversies in re- gard to territorial claims. The first article of the treaty declared against their inclusion, and the sixth and eighth articles made provision for them. He held that as long as these articles remained unchanged England justly couid claim that questions of territorial rights were still included within the scope of the treaty. Under such circumstances, he asked, what was to prevent England from purchas- ing the Island of Cuba or any other American territory, and in case of ob- jection on the part of the United States insisting upon the reference of the dis- pute to arbitration. He spoke of the conduct of England in connection with the Greco-Turkish war, and implored the senate to protect the United States against the proposed alliance. The speech made a visible impression, and the opinion was general that the treaty should be amended so as to remedy the inconsistency explained. Senator Tillman asked that time be given for such amendment. Owing, however, to the fact that the senate was under agreement to vote at 4 o’clock there could be no postponement except by unanimous consent. Senator Carter, who from the first has been one of the most active and effective opponents of the treaty, interposed objection. He said he would put no obstacle in the way of postponement of the vote until another day, but if the vote was to be taken to-day he would insist upon it at the specified time. He made a very pungent speech in opposition. Mr. Carter advised the senate to let well enough alone. Senator Hoar replied briefly, going over the general agree- ment in favor of the treaty, and con- tending especially that the objection of inconsistency in regard to territorial claims wag not well foundeg Senator Davis, chairman of the com- mittee on foreign relations, declined to express an opinion for publication, but talked frecly with his friends. To them he attributed the defeat to the feeling of d tisfaction at England’s course in the struggle of the Greeks to liberate the Island of Crete from Ot- ‘toman dominion and in the Armenian massacres and with the “evident” de- signs of Great Britain upon the Trans- vaal. At the conclusion of the pro- ceedings, all of which were in execu- tive session, the senate refused to au- thorize the publication of the details. THE OPEN SESSION. Washington, May 6.—The open ses- sion of the senate was devoted to the sundry civil appropriation bill, which was not completed up to the time of adjournment. Mr. Deboe of Kentucky took the oath of office at the opening of the session and was cordially greei- ed by his Republican associates. The sundry civil appropriation bill was then taken up. Mr. Allison offered an amendment to the item for a survey of the Nicaragua canal route, so that the proposed commission shall consist of three of the five members from the army and navy or civil life, at the president’s discretion. The amend- ment caused some opposition and final- ly went over for further consideration. Considerable civil service discussion followed the introduction of an amend- ment by Mr. Wilson of Washington requiring the appointment of commis- sioners to classify Northern Pacific lands in the Northwest, “by and with the consent of the senate.” ‘The amendment was finally modified and adopted so that the appointees shall be confirmed by the senate, and shall be divided between the political par- ties. Mr. Morgan offered an amend- ment appropriating $50,000 for the i provement of Pearl harbor, Hawaii. The amendment was agreed to. At 2:10 p. m., on motion of Mr. Davis, the senate went into executive session. The open session was resumed at 4:20 and the consideration of the sundry civil bill resumed. Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota offered an amendment authorizing the president to suspend the order of President Cleyeland with- drawing millions of acres from the public domain and constituting them forest reserves. The amendment also proposed an appropriation of $150,000 for surveys of these lands. Final ac- tion on the amendment was deferred. Washington, ay re — The senate agreed to an amendment to the sun- dry civil bill, revoking the order of President Cleveland, made on Feb. 22 last, establishing forest reservations aggregating 17,000,000 acres. The de- bate brought out much criticism of Mr. Cleveland’s order, Senators Pettigrew, Wilson, Turner. Rawlins and White speaking against it. Mr. Gray of Del- aware defended the course of the pres- ident, pointing out that it was the re- sult of an inquiry authorized by con- ere and conducted by the national academy of science. Mr. Allison en- deavored to have the amendment re- stricted so as to leave the question of revocation to the president, but he was defeated by a yote of 32 to 14. Mr. Gorman made a point of order against the amendment, but this, being sub- mitted to the senate, was defeated— to 23. The amendment was then agreed to without division. Another amendment agreed to provides for a continuance of the investigation of the condition of the fur seals in Bering sea. The sundry civil bill was passed, It carries an aggregate of $53,000,000. During the day Mr. Bacon of Georgia introduced a joint resolution depre- cating war and announcing the policy of the government in favor of arbi- tration. The resolution was referred to the committee on foreign relations. THE HOUSE. Washington, May 7.—The Republic- ans of the house followed up their re- cent endorsement of Speaker Reed’s policy of postponing the appointment of committees by establishing the pol- icy of bi-weekly meetings through the adoption of a resolution reported by the committee on rules providing that a ero WORK OF CONGRESS, the house shall meet on Mondays and ‘Thursdays until further action. On this resolution the Democrats and Pop- ulists were solidly arrayed against the Republicans, and it was adopted by a vee of 101 to 83, after a partisan de- ate, —o— Information for the Senate. Washington, May 7.—The president has sent to the senate.a message in re- sponse to a resolution asking for all information in the department of state concerning tariffs, taxes, exports and imports, and in fact, everything con- nected with commerce. The message transmits a letter from the secretary of state, transmitting such informa- tion as bas been furnished the bureau of statistics through consular reports. It is stated that the bureau has not had adequate funds to print all the in- formation which has been received, and the secretary suggests that larger appropriations be made for enlarging the work of the statistics bureau. Washington, May 11.— The Morgan Cuban resolution was discussed at con- siderable length in the senate. For the first time since the debate began the opposition sentiment expressed itself. The speeches were not of a kind to stimulate the galleries, being in the main calm and dispassionate reviews of the situation in Cuba. Mr. Hale maintained that it would be most un- wise to embarrass the president by the adoption of these resolutions at a time when he was investigating. the sub- ject. He intimated also that the adop- tion of the resolution would lead to the withdrawal of the Spanish minister and the termination of diplomatic rela- tions between Spain and the United States. The senator said the real mo- tive for the Morgan resolution was shown in the recent statement of Mr. Morgan that the passage of this resolu- tion would prevent Spain from making a loan and thus prevent her from putting down the insurrection. Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire dissented from this statement, saying the ques- tion of a loan was but one ground on which the friends of Cuba had favored the recognition of Cuban belligerency. There were, he said, other and higher grounds. Mr. Morgan also dissented. Mr. White of California opposed the resoluticn. He argued that the ques- tion of recognizing belligerency was one properly to be exercised by the executive branch. There was no excuse for the resolution unless the state de- partment was derelict in its duty. Mr. ‘Morrill will speak on the resolution to- morrow and there is some prospect that a vote may be reached on Mr. Hale’s motion to refer the resolution to the committee on foreign relations. A resolution was agreed to Without op- positicn putting into effect the rear- rangement of the senate committees as agreed upon in the several caucuses. Mr. Vest secured agreement to a res- oluticn directing the committee on commerce to inqnire into the causes of the recent floods on the Mississippi river snd report to the senate next De- cenber. Among the favorable reports was Che for a public building at Aber- deen, S. D., to cost $100,000. Mr. Chamberlain of New Hampshire, from the committee on census, reported a Lill for taking the twelfth census. A resolution was agreed to requesting the secretary of war for information as to the stey% taken to locate a deep water harbor at Port Los Angeles or San Pedro, Cal., in .ccordance with the re- port ef a commission, ee seas IN THE HOUSE. The house resumed the transaction of public business which had been sus- pendec since the Indian appropriation bill was sent to conference three weeks ago. The consideration of the senate amendments to the sundry civil appro- priation bill was entered upon under a special order providing for a recess each day until disposed of. On the question of the adoption of the order the Democrats divided, Mr. Bailey and his followers voting with the Republic- ans, and several of the Democrats, in- cluding Mr. MeMillin and Mr. Bland, with the Populists against the order. The vote resulted 111 to 15. When the emendment relating to the forest reser- vation was reached Mr. Hartman of Montana moyed concurrence. Mr. Lacey moved concurrence with amend- ments providing for the suspension of Mr. Cleveland’s executive order until March 1, 1898, when the order, as it may be modified, shall go into effect, and substituting what is known as the McRae bill for improvision permitting the use of bona fide settlers of timber and stone on such reservations. Mr. Shaforth of Colorado argued earnestly for the adoption of the senate amend- ment, especially for the portion of it aliowing miners and prospectors free use of timber. It was agreed to take a vote on the pending propositions to- morrow, THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.
