Secrefnry Longs Erperiment.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 26. - A
Washington special to the Herald says
Secretary Long is considering the advisa-
bility of making an experiment in the
matter of laying one OF the larger ships of
the navy up in ordinary at either. the
Brooklyn Navy-vard or the League Island
Navy-yard. If the result is successful, it
may be that just as soon as the situation
in Cuba becomes more tranquil he will
order several other vessels put in reserve
with small crews. 1t is generally believed
that the Columbia will be selected as the
first vessel to be laid no.

TO the Treaty.
WAoHlNGION, d. C., March 26.-The
oeoate on the general treaty of arbitration
Is losing ground among the Senators and
much less time than formerly 10 devotod
to Its attention. This afternoon GRAY fDl
VI neiaware spoke i'll opposition to the
linton amendment, which for days has
oeeh under discussion. Senator Grav
favors the treaty as negotiated bv NJ
Oiney. The committee amendmen
Gray holds, cover the same oeneroi
ground sought to be covered bv Chiffon
and the substitution of his modifvina
clause to the effect that NOTHING should
be submitted to ar arbitration but sncb mot.
tiers as the Senate may agree to arbitrate
is confusing and only tends to incumber
the treaty.
Senator Thurston advocated the adop-
rion of the amendments reported to the
Senate during the last session, and partic-
ularly that to the first article relative to
the scope of the treaty which eliminated
all questions relating to the foreign or do
mestic policy of either Of the contracting
parties.
During the course of the debate it was
suggested that perhaps it would be best
after all to return to the plan suggested
by Lord Salisbury and submit to arbitra-
t1on only matters involving the question
of pecuniary damages. This suggestion
was declined by Secretary Olney.
During the debate in secret session the
question of the committee vacancies came
up. 1t was caused by criticism of Allen
(Pop.) OF Nebraska, objecting TO the Com
mittee on Postoffices and Post Roads con-
sdering postoffice nominations until tho
vacancies were filed.
As the committee now stands there il
not Democratic Senator on it, Butler
(Pop.) of North Carolina being the only
Senator opposed to the Republicans.
Allen said that this was not fair rep
resentation, as they insisted that they
were unwilling to be charged with the re-
sponsibility of legislation unless the Sem
ate gave them majority of straight Re-
publicans on all committees.
The Democrats insisted that they could
name Democrats for those whose terms
had expired and that the Republicans
should keep the bolting Repu blicans now
on the committee as part of the Repub-
icen representation. In the discussion
the Republican leaders insisted that they
must be given a clear majority or that all
the elements opposed to the straight Re-
publicans com bne and take the committee
themselves. No conclusion was reached,
either upon this matter or the treaty, and
at o'clock the Sen ate adjourned.

STANFORD'S TRACK ATHLETES.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CAL.
| March 26.-A trial field day will be held
here tomorrow. The mem bers of the
! track team have remained at college dur
| ing vacation and are anxious to see what
| weeks faithful training, when freed
| from the cares of study, has done for
| them.
The l00-yard sprint, although conceded
| to Brunton, who has done it in 10 seconds
| fat, gives promise of being a very inter-
| esting event because of the number Of
| men trying for places. Birch. who entered
college with good record, was at first q
| trif1e disappointing, being slow in the
start. He is now much quicker in getting
| OFF the mark and straightens up to his
/ work well. Captain Dale and Hobrook
have also made good showings and will
have try at this event.
Brady Burnette as a distance man
| promises to become worthy successor to
| Dave Brown, who is now disqualified,
| having contested in four field davs against
| Berkeley. In fact. he exhibits the salient
| traits of the " estern runner-speed, grit
| and generalship. He is now handicapped
| by ten pounds OF superfuous flesh. Smith.
Daggett and Walker are also showing up
| we'll.
Morgan is doing excellent work in the
nululeS. no mas pecuiidr uut sfacciu ui
style, has had much experience and is
| Stanford's fastest man. Dole, Wilson,
| P pc and Edwards are also devoting much
| time to both events in the hurdles.
Captain Dole is rapidly acquiring his old
form in the high jump anu is conscien-
| tiously practicing the pole vault.
| Kerrigan. although unable to contest
this year, is training faithfully. In the
event of an Eastern trip he will be vslu-
| able addition to the team. Besides holding
| the coast record of feet 8 inches for the
| high Jump he is strong in the pole vault
| and the broad jump. BOYD is doing good
work in the hign jump, pole vault and the

| Great interest is manifested in the mile
walk, but as yet our power in this event is
an unknown quantity.
