FRrE REBUkEs 4 BISHOP.
The Preinte IL II Hot Haste 10 Have the
ArbItratioa Treaty Ratided.


PORTLAND, Me-. Jan. 25-Iu response TO q
letter urging him to exert all his influence In
favor Of the early passage By tho Senate OF the
arbitration treaty. Senator Frye sent Bishop
Neely OF the Episcopal Church OF Maine the
following communication:
II have your letter Of Jan. 20. urging In the
strongest possible terms the ratification OF the
arbitration treaty. II contains o suggestion
that there may be some opposition to tho treaty
from 'partisRnship, Jealousy, or jinGeism.' l
beg to assure you, sir, that there 10 not tho
slightest indication OF anything OF tho KIND
so far apparent. The treaty is before
the Committee on Foreign Relations, and
Ia receiving, as II Is entitled TO. n most
careful scrutiny. Secretary olnoy was before
us for an hour and . half Wednesday morning.
Each article ought to receive conscientious ex.
animation. II tho Monroe doctrine maintained
by us for half century, is by this treaty the
subject Of arbitration good many votes would
be cast against il. Secretary olney convinced
me that that doctrine. being a policy
rather than right, conld not be in
oluded within Its terms. The constructing
control by our Government is considered by
very many essential to our commercial progress.

case for arbitrationF lf Il does, objections viii
be made by some 70 the ratification OF the
treaty, StnAtoT uIu nhppy tV say,
takes the ground that this H. impossible. An.
other question which attracts some attention, our
Alaskan boundary. which We hold under Russia
and which. under her and us. has existed for
soventy-hve years, is now by Canada called ia
question. Is this to be arbtrated
You judge me rightly when you assume that
am in favor of arbitration for the settlement
OF questions between nations, War 10 q most
cruel and brutal arbitrator. | think. however,
from what have written, that you Will recog-
nlZe as a fact that this treaty cannot and ought
not be railroaded through the Senate, but that
IL should receive careful, conscientious, and pa
triotic inv estigRton."
