WINDING UP THE TREATY TALK.
The senate Ready to Vote on the |
Pending Amendments.

Washington, March S0.-The last day of
the debate on the amendments that have
been made to the general treaty of arbi-
tration concluded with the discussion Of
this afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock the vote will be taken on the
amendments that are pending UP to that
time, and the next morning the amended
copy of the treaty, if it shall have been
amended, will be laid before the Senate.
The discussion on these amendments viii
proceed until Thursday at 4 o'clock, when
the final vote on the amendments will be
permitted When the final vote will be
taken is a matter that cannot now be
determined. Mr.. Davis has pressed for
an agreement, but up to this time has
been unable to secure one.
The discussion this afternoon was, as 1t
has been for several days, on the Chiffon
amendment, which provides that every
question proposed to be submitted to ar
bitration under this treaty shall first be
submitted to the Senate for its approval
or disapproval, just as the original treaty
is submitted. 1t looks very much as II
this amendment would prevail. Mir Chill
ton addressed the Senate this afternoon
on his amendment and during the course
of the discussion Mr.. Plat of Connecticut
asked Mr.. Chiffon why his proposed
amendment was better than that proposed
by the committee. Mr. Chiffon asserted
that ii was better because it made the in
tent of the Senate clearer and left he sub
ject without any doubt in the minds of
the American people.
Senator Morgan made another of his
speeches on the treaty as a whole and as
serted that 1t made no difference to him
how the convention was amended, he would
