PASSED OVER THE VETO.
Only One Senator Voted to Sustain Pros
idsnt Cleveland.


Washington, Feb. 9.-The senate was
In executive session most of yesterday
considering the Anglo-American peace
treaty. so that little time was given In
open session to the transaction of reg
ular legislative work. Early in the day
the bill rearranging the judicial dis
tricts of Texas was passed over the
presidents veto by the unusually
heavy majority of 81 to /, the negative
vote being that of Mr.. Caffery Of
Louisiana. The debate developed q
criticism of the presidents course from
the Democratic. side of the chamber by
Mr.. Mills. of Texas, and defense of
the presidents views from the Re-
publican side of the chamber by Mr..
Hoar, of Massachusetts. !
During the consideration the ar
bitration treaty Senator Morgan said
that under the constitution the senate
was a part of the treaty making pow
er, but If this treaty was adopted the
senate abdicated Its functions in this
matter, and the president became the
sole treaty making power In all ques-
tions arising. 1t enhanced the power
of the president to an extent never be-
fore contemplated. Senator Vest ar
gued similarly. Senator Sherman ex-
poets to reach vote on the treaty to-
day. Senator Teller says a vote can
not be taken for a week.
The house devoted the whole day to
District Of Columbia business, and
eight bills of more or less Importance
were passed. The certificates of elec-
tion of the presidential electors for
warded to the house by the secretary Of
state were submitted and ordefed to
lie on the table in anticipation of the
counting of the electoral vote tomor-
row. The conference report on the i'm
migration bill was presented and no.
tice given that 1t would be called up
today. The report will be adopted, 1t
is believed. practically without opposi-

Washington, Feb. 9.-The petition OF
the sugar planters of the south and
west for an appropriation of 1,048, 900
to pay the sugar bounty in full on the
crop which was planted under the Nc
Kinley law and harvested under the
Wilson law will be granted by the
house committee on appropriations.
The Wilson act cut off the bounty en-
tirely, but congress made an appropria-
tion Of something more than $4,000. 900
to pay the bounty on the crop which
was in the ground when the act went
into effect. That appropriation was
not for the full amount of the boun-
ties due, and the additional appropria-
tion now proposed is to make up the
full amount.
