There Is great uncertainty as to the
fate Of the treaty and Il now looks as u
the margin would not exceed two or
three votes, whatever the result may be.
There are a few unascertained votes
which will decide the result. A canvass
made yesterday shows forty votes GER
tain for the treaty and twenty-five Ger
tain against It. Twenty-nine votes In
opposition arc sufficient to defeat Il, but
the opposition do not know Just where
these four votes can be found There
will be considerable sparTing over the
treaty before the vote Is taken, but no
prolonged debate IS expected.
