speech which may lead to further delay.
The Nicaragua canal bill and the bank

A lively debate occurred over Mr. Al

In the executive session the appointment
of W. :. Foreman to be internal revenue
commissioner was confirmed. The discus
sion did not continue more than an hour
and tho vote on confirmation wns A TO ID
in Mr.. Foreman's favor. Speeches favor
able to confirmation were made by Sona-
tCrs Cullom, Palmer and Hale,,and in op-
position by Senators Chandler, Jones Of
Arkansas, Berry and Stewart. Senator
chandler was the only Republican except
the independents who opposed confirma-
tion either by voice or vote, and no stated
rs the reason for his attitude the fact that
Mr.. Foreman had supported the Indian
apolis platform, which declared for both
gold standard and free trade, both declara-
tions contrary Co the American policy in
bis view The other opposing speakers
based their opposition on the ground that
Foreman had been especially denunciatory
1f the regular Democratic nominee during
Lis campaign for governor Of Illinois on
The gold Democratic platform. Senators
Uullom ard Palmer contonded that there
was no basis for opposition to Mr.. Fore
mans confirmation except that of a politi-
sal character, and this, they contcnded,
was not sufficient reason for opposition.
Ihcy said that Mr. Foreman was a man
IF unexceptionablo personal character and

had been vouchsafed on his nomination by

WASHINGTON, jan. %. - One of the
greatest obstacles to the ratification by the
senate of the general arbitration treaty
has been removed in the arrangement by
negotiation of a plan for the settlement OF
tho Alaskan boundary question In the
course of day or two treaty will be laid
before the senate for its action, which, if
ratified, will provide tho means for the
final settlement of the long standing
boundary question.
Certain Of the northwestern senators
have secretly opposed the general arbitra-
tion treaty hecause of determination on
their part not TO have this boundary ques-
tinn submitted TO arbitration. They felt
that the territory was too valuable since
the discovery Of the great wealth Of the
gold deposits there to chance its loss
through any such accident as the appoint
ment Of European umpire. and their OBJ
Joctions We're not overcome by repeated
approximations to the effect that such dis
putes might be easily excepted from the
operations of the general treaty.
Now, however, by the treatment of tho
Alaskan boundary in separate treaty the
whole subject can be easily removed from
tho path Of the general treaty and disposed
of in advance II necessary. This special
treaty is similar in terms to the usual run
of such treaties and provides for the ap-
pointment Of commission to visit tho
country and fix definitely the one hundred
and tenth meridian which under the trea-
ty Of cession to the United States forms
the boundary between that territory and
the British northwest territory.
