The understanding in the Senate now is that
there shall DO no Executive Session Of the SEN
ate until Wednesday, when the discussion re-
garding the resolution to advise the President
to accept the terms Of the British utimatum In
the treaty business win DO resumed. In the mean
time.
THE NEW ARTICLE, AS AMENDED
printed, and is in the possession Of each sena-
tor, with, the most earnest, and thus far effec-
tive injunctions, to keep Its contents profound
secret Every additional days delay is supposed to
be an advantage to the prospects Of its ratification
for the that the lobby, backed up by the ad
ministration, Is assiduously working to
OVERCOME THE NATURAL INCLINATION OF TIE SENATE
to reject 1t. The version Of the amendment given
In these dispatches last night Is confirmed by to-
days revelations and 1t Is therefore, probable that
In condition to telegraph to Its Minister at the
Court Of St. James the information that
GRANvILLE's DEMANDS WILL BE AUCErrnD
by the Senate. 1t is possible however that the de-
bate which will certainly ensue, may be protracted
| until next week, In whish case, as a matter OF
course, England will be compelled to wait q little
while longer for the full realization OF her victory
1t is certain that
THE ADMINISTRATION SENATORS
will do nothing to provoke debate. They will re-
main silent until the opposition has exhausted ITSELF
and then, If they assured OF success they will
press for VOTE Secretary Fish is entirely satisfied
with the situation. The amendments OF the For
eign Relations Committee are acceptable to him,
and, In his opinion, will not prove unacceptable to
the British Cabinet. Lie has not abated parti-
Gle Of
HIS INTENSE ANXIETY TO CARRY IT THROUGH,
and occupies much of his time In lobbying for that
purpose. Mr. Stewards famous Alaska dinners
would now bear repetition In the interest Of the
administration were 1t not for the fact that we
have no one here now who Is capable OF presiding
over such entertainments. The announcement
received here to-day by telegraph that
MR.. SEWARD IS IN FAVOR
OF the ratification OF the pending proposition, on
the ground that such result would justify the
Clarendon Treaty, is not calculated to strengthen
the administration. In fact, 1t draws public well
as official attention to the records Of members
WHEN THE JOHNSON CLARENDON TREATY WAS RE-
JECrED,
ana will doubtless result in causing some OF them
to reflect upon the wisdom OF pursuing consistent
course and voting now as they did three years ago.
Since the efforts OF the administration have been
made directly perceptlbe an evident change has
been noticed in the tenor OF current comments on
the subject. Denunciations Of the treaty not
frequent as they were. Members OF the House
seem to be In doubt, and, with
THE EXCEPTION OF GENERAL BUTLER,
the majority OF those on the republican side are
almost as reticent as the Senators themselves.
Nevertheless, it is the almost unanimous opinion OF
those who do discuss the matter that we have got
the worst OF the bargain. 1t is agreed that we
WENT INTO THE AFFAIR HANDICAPPED
by what now appear to have been blunders com.
mtted pending the Joint High Commission DELHI
erations, and that we have increased our weight
ever since. No new arguments are advanced in
favor OF ratification, and people getting tired Of
the constant repetition OF the old one that
OUR COMMERCIAL INTERESTS
demand ON immediate acceptance Of the British
terms.
II is understood eh-night that the Foreign Rea-
lions Committee rs quietly engaged In investigating
the circumstances connected with the premature
publication Of the correspondence in tho HERALD
Experience has proved the futIlity OF attempts TO
get information from newspaper correspondents;
hence the committee have hit upon tho mover

regarding his relations with the HERALD men IN
