The Treaty to Undergo Close Scrutiny
WASHINGTON, Nav H.

WASHINGTON, May IL.
There is no doubt that four or five
Senators have prepared amendments to
the treaty of Washington. A number OF
Senators are preparing to deliver elabOr.
ate speeches on the subject, which will
hereafter be published, should the injunC.
tion Of secrecy be removed. The recent
comments on the treaty, both in England
and Canada, have disposed the Senators
to look more closely into its provisions
and relative bearings, and there is ground
for the belief that the session will be pro.
lOnged for three or four weeks, The
Committee on Foreign Relations are
again in session on the treaty OF Wash.
ingtOn.
Tho select committee on the breach of
Senatorial privileges have commenced
their labors. SubpGnas have been serv.
ed on several correspondents,

WASHINGTON, May n.
While It is known that majority Of
the Senators nre in favor of the Ntitlca.
tion of the treaty OF Washington US u
measure Of peace, some Of them will pro.
pose amendments to several provisions
which they consider not sufficiently plain
and which, without modification, may
lead TO dissatisfaction in the future. One
of the objections against the treaty Is that
the San Juan question Is to be submitted
to the arbitration Of the Emperor Of Ger.
many The recent report OF his indispo.
sitiOn, he being an old man, suggests that
in tho event of his death, his son, Fredcr.
ick William, will succeed to the throne,
and thus take the place of arbitrator,
should the question not be settled during
tho present Emperors lie time. The ar
rangcmcnt Of the Joint High Commission
Is considered unfortunate, in view of the
fact that the Prince having married Vic.
torla Adelaide, daughter Of the Queen of
England, might therefore be influenced in
the determination of the question by fami.
ly considerations.
The iron Clads now Mt Key West and

to their mother country and to each

they shall not suffer from any ministerial
policy, was opposed by Viscount Bury, on
lhe ground that the colonial relations are
all In satisfactory condition. Ageneral
debate followed, during which the resolu.
ton was withdrawn by the mover.
Tho Times, Of o.dRy,. IS convinced that
the basis and essential provisions of the
