DEFEAT or THE <RBITRATIoN
TREATY MAI FOLLOW.

gas and Others Opposes to the Treaty.
WARRINGTON. Jan. 13.-In executive session
to-day the Senate formally acted upon the sug-
Restion OF Secretary olney that the injunction
| OF secrecy be removed from tho General Arbi-
| ration Treaty and the accompany ying message
| or the President to the Senate last Monday.
The knowledge that the Senate had acted upon
the suggestion must have been pleasing to the
Secretary Of State. In Wow OF the fact that he
handed COPY Of the treaty to the correspon-
dent OF London nowrpaper for publication be-
fore IL reached the Senate. Tho Secretary was
especially anxious that tho public should be In
formed OF the text OF the treaty at the earliest
possible moment, and 1t was understood by
him that Its text should bo teegraphed
back from London and published In America
tho morning It was signed. Secretary Olney
perhaps adopted this course for the purpose of
providing against the possibility that the Sen
ate might not sec at to adopt his suggestion TO
make the terms Of the treaty public. He thcre.
| fore gave them no chance to upset his plana
but In thus violating the laws OF courtesy that
have existed between the Senate and the State
Department since tho foundation OF the Gov
ernment the Secretary may find that he has
endangered the ratification OF tho treaty at
least during tho life Of tho present Administra-
| tion.
