No Time Fixed for Vote on Arbitration
Treaty,


Washington, April 15.-In accordance
with his previous notice, Senator Davis
promptly moved an executive session
of the senate after the disposal of the
routine morning business today for the
purpose of taking up the Anglo-Amer-
ican arbitration treaty. He endeavored
to secure a unanimous agreement upon
a time to take a vote upon the treaty
as a whole, but in this he did not sue
coed, owing to objections from several
senators, including Senators Carter,
Morgan and Mills. Senator Carter OBJ
jected to fixing a vote until pairs for
absent senators opposed to the treaty
could be arranged on the basis OF two
for one. Senator Davis said he would
make no objection to an arrangement
of pairs on this basis, but urged that
this should not be considered a valid
objection. He also asserted that the
treaty had been completely debated
and said that, with the amendments all
disposed of, there was no reason why
a vote should not be Immediately taken.
The objections were not Withdrawn,
however.
The DIRECTORS stated that they had no
purpose to unduly delay final action,
and when the executive session con-
Guided, after continuing about an hour
and a half, there was ar understanding
hat Senator Davis would renew his
request on next Monday and that then
there probably would be no objection
to fixing a date.
The senate also considered a propo-
sition, advanced by Senator Mantle, to
have Senator Davis speech m the
treaty and Senator Morgan's minority
report on it printed for the information
of the public, but action was deferred
on the suggestion hat there might be
other speeches which it woul be deSir-
able to print, and that it would be bet
ter to postpone action of this character
until the treaty should be finally
passed upon.

Breech Between x and Martin.

Frankfort. KY, April 15.-The gold
democrats held no caucu tonight and
the programme for senatorial ballots
tomorrow is the same as that Of the
past two days.
Hunters chief lieutenants said 10 the
Associated Press reporter tonight that
he had 10 idea of withdrawing: tina
he might do so If 1t was requested or
suggested by the administration. but
intimated that they had the best of
reason for believing that no such re-
quest or suggestion will ever come.
Blackburn's forces are confident that
the deadlock will last if Hunter remain
on the track, as the gold men are prac-
tically committed to never vote for him
and they will go so far as to lend him
encouragement rather than see him
quit the track and ruin their plans for
mo election till next winter"
The grand jury adjourned again to-
night without making any report, but
were very busy all day after the SEN
sational additional charge given them
by Judge Cantrell. The judge this
morning called the jurors into open
court and instructed them as TO their
duty in the case before them. He said
he regretted that the matter came up
before the adjournment of the legisla-
ture and felt that it was the duty of
the legislature to wash it's own dirty
linen, but having attempted investiga-
ton, it was their duty to probe it to
the bottom. And in so doing contin-
ued the judge, Il command you not to
show any favoritism." This unusual
step on the part of a circuit judge was
received with surprise by both republic
cans and democrats.
The first ballot today resulted as fol-
lows: Hunter So, Blackburn 43, Mar
tin 10, Boyle 6, Stone l, leaving Hunter
two votes short of an election. No mo-
ton was made to adjourn, and the sec
ond ballot was ordered. The second
and third ballots resulted as follows:
