WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Mexican
treaty has been ratified bv the senate,
but it had narrow escape. When it was
up before it was defeated by one vote.
| This time it was carried by one vote, and
that was cast by senator Pike of New
Hampshire, who was the only man to
change his views since the matter has
been lying dormant. The managers of
the treaty were confident Of the conver-
sion of several senators, but their conf
dence proved to be misplaced. Several
attempts were made to amend the treaty
by those who opposed it, but it was pas

effect on the 2Oth'of May next. There
was much desultory debate, but no set
speech There is no truth in the report
that an amendment was adopted yester
day submitting the treaty to congress for
further legislation. Attempts were made
to modify the treaty by putting pork and
textile fabrics on the free list, but they
were lost by votes respectively of "a to
| 36 and "a to 35, less than two-thirds in
| each instance. No further legislation
upon the part of the United States is
needed, as article 6 Of the constitution
provides that all treaties shall be the su-
preme law of the land, and as soon as the
ratifcations shall have been exchanged,
the treaty will 60 into effect. The regu-
lations to prevent fraudulent entry of
articles nat of Mexican production can
and will be promulgated by the secretary
of the treasury under article 4 of the
treaty. The opposition to the ratification
of the treaty was based upon three
articles, the same being Timber, sugar
and tobacco; but it is not believed by its
advocates that any of those articles will
be imported from Mexico into the
United States to an extent that will in
terfere with the producers on this side of
the border. The treaty will open an
enormous market for manufactured
articles from the United States, as the
Mexican duty upon wearing apparel,
cured meats and other necessaries of life
has been practically prohibitory, while
the tax upon wines and other luxuries
has been very low.

has decided not to resign, but will sub
nit the matter to the authorities at

is ignoring the fact that Minister Sargent
has exposed himself to ridicule. He
cannot remain at Berlin without affecting
the relations of America and Germany.
