ARBITRATION BEATEN
SENATE REFUSES TO RATI-

Needed Four VOtes-Only Vest of the
Kansas and Missouri Senators Voted for
the Treaty-England's Recent Policy
Responsible for the Defeat.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Senate
yesterday by the vote of 43 to 20, re-
fused to ratify the general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain negotiated by Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Padncefote. The
rules of the Senate require majority
of two-thirds for the ratification of
treaties. Hence four more affirmative
votes would have been required to
secure favorable result. The vote in
detail was as follows:
Yeas-Allison, Bacon, Burrows, Caf-
ferv, Clay, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Fair
banks, Faulkner, Foraker, Frye, Gal
linger, Gear, Gray, Hale, Hanna, Haw-
ley, Hoar, Lindsay, Lodge, Mcbride,

White-total, &c.
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations, declined
to express an opinion for publication,
put talked freely with his friends. To
them he attributed the defeat to the
feeling of dissatisfaction at England's s
course in the struggle of the Greek to
liberate the island of Crete from Otto
man dominion and the Armenian mas
sacres, and with the evident de-
signs of Great Britain upon the Trans
vaal.
Among those who waited in the Sem
