SHERMAN PLEADS
For the Ratification Of the Anglo
American Treaty.
IT'S FRIENDS BELIEVE IT Is SAFE,

While Its Enemles Insist On IN Extended
Debate, and Teller Declines to Permit
the Talk to End I'm Two Sittings Of the
Executive Session -Ohio's Veteran sena-
tor Makes an Earnest Argument In Favor
OF the Agreement.
washington, Feb. 9.-The Anglo
American arbitration treaty was under
consideration by the senate from
o'clock until $50 yesterday. The entire
proceeding was in executive session and
consequently behind closed doors. The
first half Of the session was spent in de-
batting a motion introduced by Hill to
consider the treaty in open senate. and
the most animated part of the proceed
Ing was based upon this matter. The
debate was characterized by several
sharp passages at arms between the
author of the motion and Morgan,
Lodge and Sherman, the three last
named contending strenuously for the
observance Of the senatorial custom of
secrecy in dealing with the treaty. 1t
was stated that it was the wish of the
administration that the public should
be excluded from the debates. The only
vote Of the day was secured on the
Hill motion, which was defeated, the
count showing only nine for it and for
ty-nine against. The negative vote was
cast by two gold Democrats, Hill and
Lindsay; two silver Democrats, Roach
and Tillman; two independent silver
Republicans, Teller and Pettigrew; two
Populists. PETER and Stewart, and one
straight Republican, Brown.
Friends OF the Treaty Hopeful.
This was not considered as in any
respect a test vote, as there are known
to be many senators opposed to the
treaty who did not favor a departure
from the ordinary practice of the SEN
ate. Still the friends Of the treaty be-
lieve that sufficient evidence was de-
veloped as to the attitude of the SEN
ators to justify the conclusion that the
treaty is certain of ratification if it can
be brought to a vote. 1t is claimed that
the straight Republican vote is solidly
favorable to ratification, and that a
fraction at least Of all the other ele-
ments will be found in that column
when the vote is announced. 1t was
made apparent. however. that the treaty
would stand no chance without the
committee amendments.
Determined Spirit Of Delay.
The supporters of the agreement are
not. however. SO sanguine of early ac-
ton as of favorable result when Sc
cured. A quite determined spirit of de-
lay was made manifest, and when Sher-
man expressed the hope that considera-
ton could be concluded at another sit
ting Teller told him plumply that he
would be disappointed in this respect,
intimating that several more sessions
would be necessary to the complete con-
sideration of a matter of Importance
SO great and SO far-reaching in its re-
suits. With the Hill motion disposed
of the senate took up the treaty upon
its merits. Sherman, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, spoke
for about an hour. making a strong
plea for the ratification of the treaty,
which he urged was the realization of
dream which had long been cherished
in the United States.

Says Arbitration Is an American Policy
Morgan's Objection to the Treaty.

Says Arbitration Is an American Policy
Morgan's Objection to the Treaty.
He quoted historical works and con-
gressional reports to show that arbi-
tration was a distinctly American pol
icy, and referred to the resolutions of
1889 and 1893 as proof Of this statement.
He also explained the. amendments
made by the committee on foreign rela-
lions, and defended the main amend
ment as essential to the proper under
standing and Interpretation of the agree
ment. He urged that this amendment
did not detract from the treaty's scope
except that through removing the Mon
roe doctrine from arbitration 1t also
removed the question Of the Nicaragua
canal. which was. he said, embraced
in the Monroe doctrine. Sherman con-
tended for the paramount Importance
of the treaty, and urged the senate to
act upon it without unnecessary delay.
as only by pursuing this course could
the wishes of the country and the ex-
pectations Of the civilized world be
met.
He said that the amendment eliminat-
ing the king of Sweden and Norway
as umpire had been made after due de-
liberation and that this step was only
taken as a precaution against unwel-
come complications. In conclusion the
senator said it would be a great mis-
take FOR the senate to repudiate the
treaty-a mistake which would forfeit
much of the high regard felt towards
the United States as a nation Of peace
lovers, and might exert q serious infiu-
ence upon the progress Of the world in
the settlement of disputes without re-
sorting to the atrocities of war.
Morgan replied to Sherman, speak
ing IN opposition to the treaty. The
Aianama senator's argument was large
iy constitutional in tendency. He dwelt
Win especial emphasis upon its sweep
ing character. claiming that in delegat-
ing, as the treaty does, to the president
the right to determine for this country
the circumstances under which arbitra-
ton shall be resorted to II robbed con-
gress Of prerogative especially con-
ferred upon it.
1t behooved all persons to regard with
especial caution the overtures of Great
Britain in such an interest, and re-
marked that the island kingdom had
never been especially known for her
devotion to the welfare Of the United
States.
Morgan was speaking when the sem
ate adjourned. His and Sherman's were
the only set speeches made. Nelson
made plea for the retention of the
clause continuing King Oscar of Nor
way and Sweden as umpire. Intimatons
were given OF several amendments other
than those proposed by the committee
on foreign relations. among others one
definitely Withdrawing the Alaskan
boundary a. q subject Of arbitration.

Duluth. MINI. June 2i.-Gold has been discovered

Lake district are considerably wrought up over inc
matter and there is a probability OF trouble unless
