session was held in the Senate, the sub
iect of consideration being the treaty
with Mexico, recently signed By Score

re-trial by a new committee of the We'll

former commission made an award upon
these claims, by which the Mexican
government was adjudged to pay upon
two claims an aggregate of $3.50 900,
the payment to be made in installments
through the State Department at Wash
ington. After one payment had been
made the Mexican government protest
ed against any further payments being
made, on the ground that the claims
were fraudulent. After investigation
the State Department became satisfied
that such was the case, and decided to
make no further payment until the mat
ter could be passed upon by Congress.

and Morgan defended. The former op-
posed the treaty, which proposed to set
it aside. The matter will be taken up
