TIE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Discussed by she Sonata Foreign Reis.
ious Committed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--The Senate
committee on foreign relations had the
arbitration treaty under consideration
for an hour and u half today, but failed
to reach conclusion. The committee
adjourned to meet on Saturday, when
1t is hoped the Senate Will not be In
session and the COMMITTEES can give
the entire day to the treaty.
There is a growing feeling In the
Senate that the treaty should be re-
ported either favorably or otherwise,
aud the co mmittee is disposed to yield
to the pressure to the extent OF giving
all possible time to the subject.
The meeting to-day wac attended by
all the members. The discussion was
very earnest. The necessity Of uard.
ing the treaty so as to prevent
encrcachment, under any pre,ext
whatever, upon the Monroe doctrine,
was again the principal topic, the es.
pecial point of controversy being the
feasibility OF preventing such en-
oroachment by an amendment. The
point was settled when the committee
adjourned, but the bshef was expressed
that conclusion might be reached on
Saturday.
