SAMOAN TREATY RATIFIED.
Discussion in the Senate-OnIy Twelve
Votes Against the Treaty.

Soon after the Senate went into executive
session yesterday Senator Sherman called up
the Samoan treaty and for over three hours it
was under discussion.
Senator Eustis led the attack upon the treaty,
asserting that by its terms the United States
was placed at a disadvantage compared with
the other treaty powers-Germany and
England.
Senator Edmunds, q member Of the commit
tee on foreign relations, raised the question
whether or not the United States did not, by
treaty under consideration, surrender its rights
to the harbor of Pago Pago, secured by the
treaty of 1878. If it did, he said, the loss of
those rights more than overbalanced the gain
that was made in other directions
Senator Sherman replied that the rights of
the United States in the matter of the Page
Pago harbor were undisturbed by the treaty
of 1882
He was supported in this view by Senator
eign relations, who read from the treaty to
prove the correctness of his position.
Senator Call also opposed ratification of the
treaty upon the ground that it did not protect
the rights of the United States in the Pago
PagO harbor.
Friends of the treaty, however it is said, in
sisted, In response to Senator Call and others,
who took the same view he did. that the United
States had purchased the lands adjacent to
PagO Pago harbor and that the treaty could
not by any means disturb its possession of
them.
The discussion continued until o'clock,
when the roll was called upon ratifying the
treaty. The motion to ratify was adopted with
only twelve negative votes,

the marked characteristics Of the paper,

the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter

growth Of The Stars advertising patronage.
