PROSPECTS OF FAILURE,
Opposition tn the Arbitration Treaty
Developed in Unexpected Quarters.

Opposition tn the Arbitration Treaty
Developed in Unexpected Quarters.
There appears to be a strong probability
that the arbitration treaty IS going to
fail in the Senate. Its fate cannot be
behind the closed doors. of the executive
session opposition has, developed in I'M
expected quarters. Thsre Is no doubt
that it is considerably weaker than it was
during the last session. and the friends
of the treaty are in doubt and anxious.
Some of the strongest of the new senators
are active in their opposition, and the
character of the debate in executive ses-
sion Is such as to excite prejudice against
the treaty. The plans of Great Britain
for Strengthening the fortifcauons at Ber-
mudas and the part taken by that coun-
effectively in opposition to the treaty. The
arguments are being made that the love
OF peace and regard for justice do not
inspire Great Britain, and that these two
things illustrate her attitude. This and
many things said calculated tc excite pref
udce against Great Britain are said with
apparent injury TO the prospects of the
treaty. No complete canvass has been
made. but the opposition comes from sew
eral different quarters-from New England
ana the west, well as from the south
and includes several republicans of in
fuence, and the most determined fighters
among the democrats, populists and silver
party men. Foraker and Mason are said
to be extreme in their opposition. From
the fight that is being made 1t seems ex-
tremeiy doubtful that the necessary two
thirds vote can be had for the treaty, un-
less it is amended as to change its char
acter completely

A HITCH SOMEWHERE.
The Delay In Appointing an Assist
ant Secretary of War.

ant secretary OF war;
1t is evident that some hitch has oc-
CURED over the appointment Of an assist
ant secretary Of war. The President ac-
cepted the resignation of Assistant Sec
retary Doe last Friday, and it was then
supposed that he did SO because of the
selection of his successor. A nomination
to the Office has bean looked for every
day since, but so far It is not forthcoming.
1t is the only vacant presidential Office in
the city
1t was popularity supposed, that Col. Otis
of Los Angeles would get the appointment,
but his name was Withdrawn when the
President decided that states honored with
cabinet positions shoul1 not be considered
in the selection Of assistant secretaries.
The Attorney General and Col Otis are
from the same state.
Gen. Curtis of New York, the hero of
Fort Fisher" had been selected as Gen.
Does successor, but the objection made to
Col Otis applied with equal force to Gen.
Curtis. as New York is represented in the
cabinet by Mr.. Bliss.
The delay In making the nomination has
upset all the calculations of the gossips,
and they will venture no further predic-
tons. Mr.. John Tweedale, chief clerk of
the War Department, who was strongly
backed for the assistant secretaryship by
prominent republicans from all the states,
has withdrawn from the contest and will
retain his present office

BERLIN, March 23.-The weather was
bright and warm today the last of the
three days of the celebration of the CEN
tenary Of the birth of Emperor William
l. The streets were crowded, especially
Inter den Linden, where the best view was
obtainable of the great procession This
was composed of burghers in the costume
OF former days. corporations, societies.
clubs, veterans associations, turner's, cy-
cHsts, oarsmen. sharpshooters and trades
organizations. The whole procession was
about three miles in length and i, is esti-
mated that over 10000 persons took part in
it. "
AS the military authorities had refused
70 seno military bands, non-uniformed
bands had to be secured. At intervals
We're floats representing scenes from the
NE OF the late emperor. Germania was
represented by the wife of sculptor named
schott She was surrounded by 100 steel
clad knights.
Everywhere were bodies of men picrur
esquely attired, mostly on horseback, and
tue scene presented was most attractive
ihele were 100 bands in the procession
Whlcn was reviewed by the emperor the
empress. the princess and the royal guests

l monument, which was unveiled With so
much ceremony yesterday
Among the specially invited guests were
100 knights of the Iron Cross Of the first
class from all over Germany
Germania addressed the emperor In a
poem specially composed for the occasion.
after which she called for cheers for his
majesty. All present heartily Joined in the
cheers.
Later the emperor received the organiza-
ton committee of the procession and in
formed them that all veterans who had
taken part in the procession would receive
the new memorial medal
From first to last the procession was an
immense success.
FREDERICKSBURG, March 23.-The
celebration Of the centenary of William
1 was marked here last night by a torch
light procession. Two thousand persons
paraded In front of Prince Bismarck $
chateau; but, owing to the weather and
to the fact that the ex-chancellor was
somewhat i'll, the latter did not make his
appearance. Count Herbert Bismarck the
eldest son; Count Won Rantzaw. Prince Bis
lnarck's cousin-in-law, and other members
of the family stood on the balcony and
reviewed the parade. Count Herbert in
formed the processionists that Prince Bis
marck sent them his thanks for thesova-
ton.
Herr Emil Sprecht, in addressing the
crowd. referred to the ceremonies in Ber-
lin eulogizing Prince Bismarck as the
architect of the empire" and called for
cheers for the prince, which were heartily
given. The ceremony concluded with sing
ing, Deutschland, Deutschland ueber
Allies"
Prince Bismarck during the day was
the recipient of numerous kilograms of
congratulations.

on the eastern question said: while
Seryia sympathizes with Greece, the
Servian government does not regard the
present as a favorable time for the settle
ment of the Balkan question. If the east
ern question is now reopened 1t could only
ne settled in way antaSonistic to The in
terests of Servia, Bulgaria and Greece. 1t
is. therefore. the intention of Servia not
to do anything to increase the existing
complications or add to the danger Of war;
but to do everything to preserve, for the
present, the status quo.
The recent visit of King Alexander to
Sofia developed during the course Of dis
cussion that Bulgaria and Servia held
identical opinions on the subject, and a full
understanding was reached between the
two countries In regard 10 the present
situation. Both countries are determined
to preserve the peace, and no one in Bel
grade believes there will be Turko-Greek
war or serious disturbances in Macedonia.
The few battalions of Turkish troops sent
to the Servian frontier were dispatched
there in consequence of a demand from
Belgrade that Turkey preserve better order
or prevent further incursions of the AL
banians.''
