HoUsE--The Gadsden treaty was rejected
by the Senate to-day by decisive vote of 20
to Is. The injunction of secrecy was not
removed, SO hotling definite as to the details
can he known. Much speculation exists as
to the effect of the rejection 1t was init
mated by the President and certain me mbers
of the Cabinet, while the treaty was under
discussion that the refusal Of the Senate to
ratify it would be followed by immediate war
with Mexico, the President feeling himself
called upon to seize Massiia Valley, let cume
what may. This insinuaion was considered
an attempt 10 ntinidate the Senators, and
those best informed h.re think that the
President will rather appoint another COM
mittee 10 negotiate a treaty than make war.
Under the existing circumstances, all are
waiting anxiously for the development of
the policy in the premises.
