10 the supplementary Article Mr.. Carpenters
proposition that the government shall assume the
payment OF the claims OF Its citizens against Great
Britain was put with characteristic force, and
seems to be the only one that affords feasible
means Of escape from the impending dilemma. He
elaborated the point at great length, and alluded
to the evident feeling Of
THE PEOPLE AGAINST RATIFICATION

the debate, interjected a number OF pertinent in

usual, paid great attention to the legal details.
AT FIVE O'CLOCK A RECESS WAS TAKEN
Rnt,l halfpast seven when the debate was resumed
and continued until midnight. Mr.. Morrill,, OF YER
mont, was the most prominent speaker at this ses-
son. He distinctly stated his regrets that a ne
cessity existed for the extraordinary pro-
ceedings in which the Senate was en-
gagged, and declared himself to be opposed to the
ratification Of the article, but did not say that the
amendment of the committee was unacceptable.
Mr.. Hamlin follow ed briefly In support OF the pro-

desire on the part of all Of them to dodge the
vote The influences brought to bear
10 overcome this impulse is fully set
forth In memorial presented by Senator vickers
to-day from the Baltimore Board OfTrade in favor
OF accepting the supplementary article In order to
close the negotiations and allow the commercial
Interests OF the two countries to assume more
definitely substantial basis. Many Of the Senators
themselves, as Is well known, are personally

and other corporations, the contingent success CT
which is based upon the lenency Of foreign capital.
The inclination to dodge was widespread in
Guiding even such gentlemen as the two Senators
from Ohio that Mr.. Morton advised an adjourn
ment. In fact, If vote had been pressed at
any time after eleven O'Clock the requird two thirds
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING,
and the Fish Senators agreed toa further postpone
ment. Accordingly, at twelve O'Clock, the Senate
adjourned 1t is plainly to be seen, this juncture,
that the debate has weakened rather than strength
ened the prospects of Qualification. Notwithstanding
this fact, however 1t is still believed that the State
Department lobby win eventually gain the victory.
Another session will be held tomorrow, at which it
le quite possible that vote win be taken, and the
great agony Of suspense will thus be ended.

Washington Treaty.

honal article TO the Treaty OF Washington, and,

movers and other Senators. The precise character
Of these amendments has not TRANSFERRED further
than that they all seek to accomplish the design Of
the original article and relieve the before the
Tribunal Of Arbitrator from present embarrass-
Ment.
The Senate adjourned at twelve O'Clock P. NJ
without having come to conclusion. 1t will
sumo consideration Of the subject tomorrow.
