Senate Will Discuss the Arbitration Treaty
This Week-The Tariff in the House.

Washington, March 21.-There will
probably be marked contrast between
the proceeding of the two houses of
congress during the coming week. The
deliberative senate win probably pass
most of its time behind closed doors,
discussing the arbitration treaty, while
the house will enter upon four days
''go as you please" tariff debate, which
is to close at ii p. m. on Thursday.
Mr.. Bailey has prepared strong re-
ways and means committee. which he
will lay before the house tomorrow,
and Mr.. Dingley has in mind a speech
to offset some of the free tariff argu-
ments which he shrewdly guesses Mr..
Bailey's report will advance. After the
general debate closes in the house on
the tariff Thursday night five minute
bouts" will be allowed under Reed
rules till the 31st of March, and to give
full scope to all the pent up eloquence
m. instead of noon, as heretofore
The silence of the senate's legisla tive
chamber will not prevail in the COM
mittee rooms. Four great appropriation
bills passed by the last congress and
not approved by the president have
been bodily dumped upon the senate
committee on appropriations. of which
Mr.. Allison is chairman. They are the
sundry civil, general deficiency agri-
cultural and Indian bills Each of
these bills, with one exception, goes
back to the senate in the form in which
it passed that body. The exception is
the "Gilsonite" or asphaltum item in
the Indian bill, which is ma tier in
volving vast pecuniary interests. The
item was inserted by the senate and
was adopted in conference after a hard
struggle in the last congress, but the
house, having now a second chance at
it has stricken it out.

have studied their methods, but even
the best man is fallible Nobody, for

UNITED sr4rrs MlY 0BJECr.
The Plan for Blockadins Crete Involves a
Serious International Question.

-
Washington, March 21.-The repre-
sentatives in Washington of the six
powers signatory to the Berlin treaty,
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany,
Aaustria- Hungary and Russia, have in
concert notified this government of the
blockade of Crete, the respective notes
of Sir Julian Pauncefote, M. Patenotre,
Baron de Fava, Baron Won Thiellman,
M. Hengermuller Won Hengervar and
NJ. de Kotzebue having been delivered
to Secretary Sherman to-day,
They were almost identical and con-
sist of a mere formal announcement
that a blockade to Cretan ports against
ships under the Greek flag commenced
at o'clock this morning. Merchant
vessels of neutral powers, including
those of the United States and of the
treaty powers, while subject to over
hauling by the blockading warships of
the concerting fleets, are not to be dis
turbed in their ordinary commercial oc-
equations if they carry no merchandise
intended for use of the Greek or insur-
gent forces on the island.
1t is question whether this govern
ment win give its assent to this form
of blockade, which involves a grave
departure in international law and
would establish precedent abolishing
rights that the United States might not
desire to surrender. There is little or
no likelihood of an American vessel
attempting to run the Cretan blockade
for the stars and stripes on merchant
vessels in the Mediterranean is practi-
oally unknown. An indication of this
is given in the records of the Suez
Canal, the American flag having pasesd
that highway only three times in 1895
on two private yachts and one man-of-
war.
Nevertheless if the United States
should tacitly consent to being kept out
of Crete, where there is no proclaimed
condition of war any more than there is
in Cuba at the present time, such ac-
ton, it is anticipated by those familiar
with international precedence, may es-
tablish an awkward precedent in rela-
ton to countries where American COM
merce is immeasureably more impor-
tant and where American flags are
more numerous
