SpeCldl W TIC GlOpe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Congress-
man Smith, of Milwaukee, made a bad
break. He asked for S30O,OOO for a
building site Of public building.
Meantime Senator Spooner had asked
for S500,000 and was urging that nothing
suitable could be purchased for less.
Finding that Congressman Smith had
assured the house that 100000 would
be enough, Spooner explained the mat
ter to Congressman McShane, of
Omaha, who is member of the COM
mittee, and this morning when Nc
Shane stated to the committee that Mil
waukee should have. half a million
Chairman Dibble called his attention to
Smiths recommendation, saying: 1--WE
cannot raise the sum asked for by him,
for he represents Milwaukee. Nc
Shane hOtly responded: mot by a id
sight. He simply represents accidental
politics." He then informed the com
mitteee that he had learned these things
from SpOOner, and the house committee
compromised by agreeing to give Mil
waukee 100000 for building site.

THE TREATY SIGNED.
The Fisheries Treaty Completed
and Signed by the Commission


and Signed by the Commission
ers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-After daily
sessions for the last two weeks, the fish
cries commissioners at z o'clock tonight
completed their labOrS and sighed
treaty which is believed will result in a
satisfactory settlement of the disputes
that have existed for almost a century
between this government and Great
Britain over the North Atlantic fish
cries. The treaty is signed by all six of
the commissioners and is said to have
their full concurrence. 1t will be sent
to the president tomorrow for trans
initial to the senate. Before the treaty
can take effect it must have the ratifica-
ton of the queen of Great Britain, the
Dominion of Canada and the province of
Newfoundland as well as of the senateof
the United States. Although the treaty
will not at present be made public, it
can be stated that it relates exclusively
to the disputes concerning the fisheries
of the North Atlantic coast and does not
include any provisions concerning the
Behring sea trouble or commercial
reciprocity. The treaty, it may also be
added, does not contemplate the admis-
sion of fish into the United States free

night that he could not, because of his
official position. make known the con-
tents of the treaty, but that it was his
earnest wish that it should be given to
the press by those having the right to
make such disposition of it and that
every line of it should be published.
The dispute, he said, had been one of
long standing and had come to him by
Inheritance when he assumed the duties
of secretary Of state. He had used his
best endeavorS to reach satisfactory
agreement with the government of
Great Britain and believed that he had
been successful as far as it lay in his
power to effect a settlement.
