ger, and this was the reason of his sudden
appearance In Colum bus few DAYS ago.

The total approximate mum Der of positions

now 1917 of which 81, 107 are in the
classified service and 81, $40 in the unclassi-

OF those in the classified service 81, 239

and subject TO examination and registra-
tion, 26 are appointed by the President

Samples of ore taken from the led ge
which he found assayed as high as 80 per
cent copper and SIC in gold. Some of the
samples were OF pure native copper.
Every piece OF rock was scanned with ma
tive metal.
CASTOR says the ledge from which

1t lies In an entirely now mineral dis

the treaty and paid a high tribute to the
character of the King of Sweden, who had
been agreed upon by Mr.. Olney as umpire.
He denied that his sympathies were with
the English and intimated that at the
proper time he would move to re!nsert the
article making him the ump re.
Morgan's opposition to the treaty as
whole was based upon the ground that the
convention went TOO Tar, lnaSmuch as 1t
sought to force the Senate 10 weld up its
constitutional function as part OF the
treaty-making power
This treaty provided general court and
left it with the President 10 determine
what matter should be taken before it.
This was d power that was de egated 10
the Senate, and Morgan declared that 1t
could not give up that power. He would
not say that he was opposed 10 arbitration
as a principle, but he insisted that each
case be met as 1t came up ana tnat the
Senate should have a voice III arranging
the details and determining upon the
tri unal.
Vest injected a remark to the effect that
the treaty virtually abolished the power
lodged in the Senate and 1t was danger
Gus precedent TO establish.
Turpie said that the United States had
invited this treaty and II would not do
TO now withdraw.
To this Mr.. Sherman readily assented
briefly as a unnecessary convention that
would only tend 10 draw us into entang-
ling alliances.
Several amendments will be offered
during the course OF the debate. Stewart
offered one this afternoon eliminating by
name the Alaskan boundary from the
operations OF the treaty. He went so far
as 10 insert in his amendment statement
of the United States claim with resi- spect to
this boundary defining its location as de-
termined by United States surveyors.
Other amendments that have been
spoken of Will eliminate the n Nicaraguan
canal by name and provide that nothing
in the treaty shall affect State issues
of bonds or interfere with the rights of
the States when incidents similar 10 the
killing of the Italians in New Orleans un-
fortunately happen.
1t is the purpose of the com mittee to
keep the treaty before the Senate as
steadily as possible, and it will only give
way TO pressing and urgent business.
Morgan will resume his speech to-mor-
row where it was broken off by the motion
10 adjourn.
