passed near her. Then she edged over
10 the pretty little blonde at the ribbon
counter and whispered:

L should think he would hate to
come around here without it" the
pretty blonde replied.
Perhaps he doesn't know that it is
gone said the girl from the handker-
chief department, who had joined
them
L wonder what his mother will say
when he goes home without it?' re-
marked the girl from the glove counter.

IN the store, and what she said raised
laugh, Of course.

Washington, Feb. 8.--Today the
senate in executive session considered
the Anglo-AmeriCan arbitration treaty
from 1 until $50 o'clock. The first
half of the session was spent in debat-
ing a motion introduced by Mr.. Hill
(dem., n. " to consider the treaty in
open session. The only vote of the
day was secured ON the Hill motion,
which was defeated, the count showing
only nine Tor it and forty-nine against
it. Those casting the nine votes were:
Messrs. HILL Lindsay, Roach, Tillman,
Teller, Pettigrew, PETER, Stewart,
Brown. Early in the day the bill re-
arranging the judicial districts Of Texas
was passed over the presidents veto
by the unusual heavy majority of 81
to 1, the negative vote being cast BY
Mr. Caffrey (dem., La.) The bill is now
a law.
Washington, FEB. 8.-The house de-
voted the whole day to District Of Co
lumbia business and eight bills Of more
or less local Importance were passed.
Washington, Feb. 9-Today the
most important developments concern
| ing the consideration of the arbitration
treaty by the senate in executive ses-
sion were the offering Of an amend
ment by Senator Morgan dem, Ala
providing for the abrogatiOn of Clay
. tOn-Bulwer treaty and a speech by the
same senator in favor of this PROPOSE
/ ton. Mr.. Morgan declared that the
conditions which called forth the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty had long passed
away. It was no longer binding on
either nation, nor was it Of any use
| o. value to this nation, though it might
| be of great importance to Great Bri-
! tain in case the Nicaragua canal We're
! constructed. With the treaty now u2-
I der consideration he said that no doubt
the question of the abrogation Of the
Clayton-Bu yer treaty would have to
be submitted to arbitration. While
this old treaty was obsolete and dis
regarded, yet it was still used as a
menace and bugaboo to the United
States whenever the construction Of
the Nicaragua canal is advocated.
Great Britain, declared Mr.. Morgan,
had violated the treaty and abrogated
it by occupying a portion Of the ter
Titory of Honduras.
Another important amendment was
offered by Mr.. Bacon (dem., La. II
provides for the modification of article
s so as to relieve the southern states
from any obligations that might arise
Under the bonds issued in reconstruc-
ton days The amendment was the
result of a conference among the south
ern senators who concluded that the
: article as it now stands might render
it possible to make these bonds, wher
held by subjects of Great Britain, an
object of arbitration
