THE FISHERY TREATY.
Strong Effort in the Senate to Make il Public
Party Opinions on IL.

Party Opinions on IL.
WASHINGTON, February 20.-The SEN
ate in secret session to-day listened to
the reading of the fishery treaty, and
then foran hour there ensued an earn
est but unsuccessful struggle to make it
public. The lead in this matter
was taken by Senator Frye, who is anx-
ious that his constituents shall be in
formed as to what they have to hope
for, or fear from the matter. The mo
ton was gallantIy supported and would
have been successful but for the dis
covery that the Senate is powerless in
the face of its own rules to do what it
desires. To publish a document now
would require change of the rules, and
to make a change or even to discuss the
proposal to make change requires one
days notice. Hence, as the matter is
expected to come from Ottawa within a
day or two, the Senate contents itself
with sending the treaty to the public
printer, Ito be printed in confidence.
The provisions of the document are
said TO be very much as the papers have
already stated them. That which seems
to have fastened itself most firmly upon
the Senatorial memory as the hi,sty
reading was progressing is the provision
that the privilege of going into Canadian
ports to buy bait shall be withheld by
Canada unless the United States Con-
gress passes laws for the free admission
of fish aud oil. The document IS COM
mented upon by one side as
practically eouceding that the Ca
madam contention has been correct
as to the Interpretation Of the
treaty of 1918. Upon the other hand,
Senator's friendly TO the Administration
express the opinion that all has been ae-
complished by the department that could
be expected. and that the quarrel which
has lasted over half a century has thus
been brought to an end.

HoAR's JOINT RESOLUTION DEFEATED
a motion was made ON behalf of the
Judiciary Committee to suspend the
rules and place upon its passage the Hoar
joint resolution proposing a Constitu-
tional amendment changing the date of
inauguration day, and extending until
April 80. 1889, the term of the Fiftieth
Congress. The debate upon the joint
resolution continued at some length.
though little interest was manifested.
The opposition came principally from
members who thought that the passage
OF the resolution would act as a barrier
to future action contemplated by a
House resolution which would change
the date of the beginning of Congress to
the 1st of January. When vote was
reached the House refused-yeas 129.
and nays 12S, not the necessary two
thirds in the affirmative-to pass the
resolution.
The House then adjourned.

STRUGGLE FOR THE CONVENTION.
The ChOce Lies Between Chicago. st. Louis and
San Francisco.

San Francisco.
WASHINGTON, February 20.-The dele
gat ons from Western cities which are
striving TO secure the honor of enter
tanning the next National Democratic
Convention are all hard al work to-
night. The three principal delegations
named, those from Chicago, st. Louis
and San Francisco, have their head
quarters in Wizards Hotel, and they all
seem to be confident of success. They
unite in declaring that the convention
will go West, aid assert that the Gin
cimati people realize that the fight is
almost hopeless one.
San Francisco is the most enthusiastic,
and it is admitted by the st. Louis dele
cation that tonight the talk runs toward
the Pacific coast. They assert, however,
that this is due to the extravagant
promises made by the San Francisco
representations. The Chicago delegates
are the quietest, but their plan of cam
paign is well defined and each commit
tee does what is allotted to it and reports
to headquarters without making much
noise.
Naturally enough, the delegations are
unwilling to talk except IN a general
way about their expectations. When
asked if they would haye eighteen votes,
Mr. Tarprey, the San Francisco repre-
sentative said ''Yes, we will have more
than that
The St. Louis people express great
confidence, and Chicago is evidently
feared by the Others.
From the hest information obtainable
it would seem that San Francisco ex-
poets the support of all the country west
of the Rocky Mountains, and number
of votes from the South. 1t is conceded
that Chicago will have the votes of New
England, with the exception of Prince,
who is in favor of st. Louis. This, to-
gether with the Northwest, and some
support from the central section, will
give the Lake City good showing at the
| start, and her representatives expect to
I obtain enough votes to secure the con-
5! vention after ballot or two of respect

cities. The strength of st.

a Rehearinq.

WASHINGTON, February 20.-In the
United States Supreme Court to-day, the
Chief Justice gave notice that mandate
to enforce the decisions of the court
would issue in all cases decided pre-
viously to January /, except those in
which petitions for rehearing are pend
ing, and those doeketed and dismissed
under the ninth rule. In view of the
fact that petition for a rehearing has
been forwarded {but not yet received) in
the Aaxwell-Preller murder case Hugh

the issuance of a mandate in that case is
postponed. The effect of this will be to
put off for the present the execution of
