Will Go Over to the Next Adminstra-
ton.
Washing ton, February The Senate
committee ON forsign relations will to-
morrow endeavor to frame an amendment
that will meet the objections advanced
in the debate against the treaty of ar
bitration with Great Britain. Unless
this amendment can be satisfactorily
framed, it is probable that considera-
til March 4th. The debats SO far has
shown that not five men in the Senate
look at this treaty from identically the
same standpoint. That 1t will be amend
ed before being ratified ia admitted by
it's best friends. Senator Turpie's ad-
dress suggested to the committee an
amendment which will be patterned af-
ter that Mr.. Morgan yesterday gave no.
tice he would offer. This will change
article 1 so it will provide that every sub
iect to be submitted to the tribunal
must first be submitted to the President
and by him to the Senate as now provid-
ed for, ID the case of original treaties.
In this manner the objection that the
Senate is yielding It's prerogative is met
and that body maintains control of every
matter connected with the sub inject OF
arbitration.
This is the amendment Mr.. Sherman
will submit tomorrow in all effort to
bring about speedy action.
The debate in thu executive commit
| tee today was begun by Mr.. Stewart,
who laid additional stress upon the CO.
esslty of eliminating the Alaskan ques
tion, and pointed out in what particu-
lars he believed the treaty to be vague
and indefinite.
Mr.. Chandler favored the committee
amendment. He said the Senator'S obli-
cations required that they should give
this thing a careful consideration. He
urged that 1t 60 over until the Senate
convened after March 4. There would
be two weeks when the Senate would
have nothing to do but consider nomina-
tions and plenty of time could be given
to the treaty and letter conclusion
could lie reached.
MIR. Daniel antagonized the treaty on
general principles as disadvantageous to
the United States. He criticized the

some time either before or after arbitra-

The treaty found one of Its strongest
advocates in Senator Lodge, who urged
that action be taken. He would favor
any amendment that might be suggest

pressed in the treaty if such an amend

Mr. Sherman said that II discussion
went over uritl tomorrow he thought
the committee would be able to bring in
an amendment or amendments IL at
would remove all doubts and am bigu,-
ty from the text of the treaty. The Sem
ate then adjourned.
