II is said, in view OF the possibility oil
failure on the part OF the senate u reach the
point Of a final election before next Sunday,
semen gntiations had taken place between
the Mexican mi mister and repre- santatives Of
the United States looking to an extension
of the time, and the opinion prevails, how
ever, that the action to-day -
final and that tic vote TO eK-
tend the time Of consideration has
no validity, inasmuch IA IL requirea the
concurrence OF the Mexican government,
and the motion to reconsider Is imperative
because the senate will not again be
in session until the time for satisfaction NC
cording 20 the terms Of the original treaty
has expired.
