WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-The Asso-
clated Press dispatch giving the details
of the treaty reported to have been per-
fected between Russia and Turkey was
circulated on the floor OF the senate to-
day ana read with expressions of gen
eral interest, and especially by the mem
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tons.
Senator Davis expressed the senti-
ments of majority of the committee
when he said: eff true, this is the
most important diplomatic event which
has occurred in the past fifty years.
1t means that Russia can move her
armies across the Turkish border. Such
a treaty would result in the immediate
settlement of the Armenian question,
and if France has also entered into the
alliance, as appears probable, the re
suit would be that the fleets of those
two countries would virtually control
the Mediterranean, and that means
more than anyone can now foresee.
It also means that England will have
something to do besides bullying I'm
Gle Sam"
Senators Morgan, Lodge and CulIom
read the report with avidity and all
remarked upon the vast Importance
of the news if it should prove to be
true. Mr.. Lodge said that a coalition
between Russia and Turkey such as
that indicated would mean that Eng
land would have her hands full of
business on her own continent without
interfering in American affairs. SEN
ator Villas. who, while not a member
of the committee on foreign relations,
takes great interest in foreign ques-
lions, remarked that it looked as if
Russia had at last succeeded in get
ting a foothold on the Mediterranean
and IN the Of Uirtn9IIU an
nexing Turkey to her dominions He
confessed that his sympathies had al
ways been with Russia in this strug-
gle.
The French ambassador was seen,
but said he had no news on the sub
ject and apparently was disinclined to
credit the Pail Mall Gazette's state
ment. Other diplomats said they were
also without news.
