Unantmons WASHINGTON, March 17.—The wsenste met at 11 o'clock today and went inte ex- ecutive session after the journal was re and approved. Bhortly after the doors were closed Mr Money offered a substitute for the fourth article of the treaty, which disavows any intention on the part of the United States to increase 1t territory &t the expense of South or Oentral America. This wae one of the two amendments or which the democrate agreed to act as & unit Would Recognize All Benators Bacon, Teller, Danjel, Morgan Balley and others contended for an impar- tial recognition of all American republics urging that under the language of the fourth article of the treaty Mexico would be left -as the only American republic to which the avowal of non-encroachment gould be held as non-applicable. Senstors Spooner and Hoar replied, contending that there was practically no @ifference between the language of the amendment and of the article. The amendment was then defeated by 2 to 27 Senator Daniel then offcred an amend- | ment providing that the treaty should not | take effect until it had been approved by congress The fact was soon apparent that offered his smepdment for the purpose making & general speech on the treaty, and when the fifteen minutes allowed him had expired and the amendment was voted down, Senator Morgan presented four or five of his amendments, which were each in turn defeated, but upon all of which Senator Daniel continued to epeak. All told he spoke for about an hour FHis speech was an arralgnment of the re- publican policy in pressing the treaty with | what he asserted was undue haste. He re- | ferred to the emormous expenditure that would be required to construct the canal und charged recklessness in rushing into | such an enterprise. { Obey Hay's Oracking Whip. i Mr. Morgan asserted thai senators were | oot Uynking for ihemaddyes, but follnwing | blindly in the lead of the secretary of muate. They were practically surrendering their | own offices in order to maintain a reputa- tion for party alleglanc Senator Platt (Oonn.) was one of the very | few to announce his entire satisfaction with the treaty. He referred to the fact that & pumber of republican senators had said thet if they had had the making of the | treaty they would have changed seme of it ieatures and declared that he considered it the best that could have been made. When, st 4:85, 4t became apparent that the fifteen-minute speeches had been con- cluded, Senstor Morgan surprised the sen- | ate by presenting all the fifty amendments which he had prepared in one block, with ‘bose portions of the treaty he did not de- sire 10 change, s @ substitute for the whole agreement. He did not demand a roll call and was voted down viva voce al- | most unanimously. | It was now & few minutes past & and Senator Morgan took the floor to make the last of his long series of speeches in oppo- sition to the treaty In accordance with | the unanimous agreement he spoke for an | hour, and to make the points he desired he had prepared his speech in advance. | He rend deliberstely but it & firm voice often digressing in order to emphasize a point. He stopped short at the expiration of his aliotted time, whereupon Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on for- elgn relations, took the foor. He also read his speech from manuseript, present- ing a carefully prepared and businesslike summary of the reasons for ratifyiug the treaty and for censtructing the canal. | Senator Cullom occupied only about three- | guarters of the hour allotted to him, and when he conclufed the gquestion as to whether the treaty should be ratified wi prompily put before the senute. All the senators in the city occupled their seats | end all were prompt In responding when | their numes were called. The vote resulted | fn the retification of the tresty by 73 to b. | The report was no surprise, for all had predicted that when the offered amendmente had been disposed of the treaty would be spproved by an overwhelming mujority Such proved to(be the case The roll call had prooeeded for some time betore & single voloe was heard in the nega- tive, but then Senator Daniel (Va.) spoke the fateful “nay,” and after another long lapse he was joined by his colleague, Sen- stor Martin.

Morgen and Pet- tus, and Senator Teller of Colorado When Senator Frye announced the resul there was Do demonstration, and by 7 the senate had adjourned for the duy Betore this, however, it had been decided to meet again tomorrow at 11 to take up the Cuban treaty, with the hope of con- cluding its consideration and finally ad- journiug by might History of 1 The Panama tresty ratified tods signed st Washingion on January 22 was negotinted by Secretary Hay for the United States and Thomas Herran, charge @'uftaires for Oolombia.
