Capitol Topics.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL MEXICAN TREATY SET
ASIDE.
After consuming some days in the discussion
of the Mexican supplemental treaty, involving
the We'll and La Abra claims, the Senate yes
terday, on motion OF Mr.. Morgan voted to
defer the subject until next session. It appears
treaty would be rejected, as two-thirds could
not be mustered for it. Then the opponents of
the treaty decided to move to postpone, and
that was carried by one majority.
