FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Secretary sherman Has Talk with
the Senate Committee,


the Senate COMMITTEES.
Washington, March II. = There u
every indication of much freer inter
change of views and of confidence be-
tween the state department and the
committee on foreign relations Of the
senate since the advent of the new adj
ninistration. The visit of Secretary
Sherman to the capitol Tuesday after
noon was entirely unexpected, and the
drst that was known Of his visit was
when, after his luncheon, messenger
informed Chairman Davis that Mr..
Sherman was at the committee room.
An impromptu meeting was called, and
for An hour the committee and the
new secretary of state conferred about
our relations with other powers.
Mr.. Sherman was naturally anxious
to know what Roadway had been made
with the arbitration treaty, and when
he was told that 1t was expected to
make favorable report to-day the SEQ
rotary expressed his pleasure. It is we'll
known that President Mckinley and
his secretary subscribe to the treaty
and the purposes for which 1t was ne.
gctiated. but believe It should be
amended IN some particulars. Secre-
tary Sherman expressed his satisfaction
at the determination which had been
reached by the committee to leave the
scope of the treaty untouched, but to
make such changes in its administrative
features as would leave intact the
treaty-making power of the United
States. This is to be accomplished by
On amendment providing that all ques.
tions to be submitted for arbitration
under the general treaty shall first be
submitted to the senate for its approval
or disapproval. This places the United
States on the same footing with Great
Britain in this matter. Mr.. Sherman
urged that the treaty be reported and
put forward in the senate with as much
speed as the. magnitude Of the subject
would justify.
There was also considerable discus.
sion relative,to the construction of the
Nicaraguan canal, question which ID
bound to come prominently to the front
during this congress. Mr.. Sherman ID
favorable to this project, but has taken
AAc SAouuu III nlo bpeoCn0s IN L0e Sem
ate that the canal should be constructed
through the fundamentally Of the
United States alone, rather than
through the agency of private cor.
poration aided and assisted by this gov.
eminent in the matter Of bonds.
While Mr.. Sherman was present the
Cuban situation wns touched upon, and
while members decline to make any
statements about what took place in
the committee room they all appear to
be pleased with the conference. Il wa,
openly stated that the senate and the
country would be put in possession Of
all the facts concerning the troubles
in Cuba, and that the policy Of suppress.
ing the news would no longer prevail
AS result of this conference it Is said
that several resolutions may soon be
introduced asking for information and
correspondence that has hitherto been
suppressed and which the COMMITTEES
has assurances will be promptly trans.
mitted TO the senate and the country.
