WASHINGTON, March %.
The action of the Committee on Foreign
Relations yesterday in reporting favor
ably to the Senate upon the new Chinese
treaties was, though nominally unani-
nous, essentially formal, as it was not
preceded by any detailed consideration
of tho merits of the treaties, nor accom-
panied with any understanding that the
members should thereby be precluded
from offering amendments, or indeed
from offering favorable action in the SEN
ate, it being universally conceded that
those important treaties, which had al
ready been examined by former COM
mittees must be disposed of during the
present session, and it being equally evil
dent that any discussion which might
arise in this committee concerning them,
would have to be gone over. In the
Senate the favorable report was asked by
common consent, simply as the readiest
means of expediating final action. 1t
should TO added that there is not likely
to be any serious opposition to the ratifi-
cation of the treaties.

be carried forward. They say that Grant
was disappointed because his name did
not attract great numbers of contribu-
tions.
