Senate Committee ON the Treaty.

Washington, Jan l3.-The senate
committee on foreign relations con-
sidered the general arbitration treaty
with Great Britain, but took no
action. The committee found the
subject large one. 1t was an
nounced at the close Of the meeting
that the treaty would probably re-
main in the committee for some time
owing to the necessity the members
themselves were under Of making
q careful inquiry into all the details.
The meeting served to develop the
fact that the committee favors the
general principle Of arbitration be-
tween nations, but it is evident that
each individual is likely to have his
own ideas as to how this could be
attained.

Washington. Jan. 13.-The Republic
can senatorial caucus yesterday did not
result in any final action upon the ques-
tion of International bimetallism, which
the caucus was called to consider. but
adjourned until Friday. This failure
was due TO the fact that the language
of the bill prepared by the Wolcott
committee was Objectionable to some.
The bill as drafted provides for the
consideration of the free coinage" of
silver. Some of the western members
of the caucus wanted it amended so as
TO provide for free and unlimited COIN

should state just what was wante, and
