TRACY SEES A TRAP.
Views Of the Ex-secretary of the Navy on
Tho Arbitratlon Treaty.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1i-Generul Benia-
min r. Tracy, former secretary Of the ma.
Wy, when asked his views on the arbitra-
tion treaty. said:
When the signing of this treaty was
announced, I thought it one of the great
est triumphs diplomacy had ever achieved.
But since reading with more care what
purpOrts 10 be the text of the treaty l am
led to doubt whether we do not by this
treaty agree to submit to the arbitration
of a European monarch the whole question
of the Monroe doctrine and our right to
enforce it.
% BY article 1 it is provided that the
high contracting parties agree to submit
to arbitration i'm accordance with the pro-
visions OF this treaty all questions in diff
ference between them which they may fail
to adjust by diplomatic negotiation.
Secretary Olney Is reported as declar-
ing that by this treaty England has reoog-
nized and affirmed the Monroe doctrine 1
fail to find any language i'm this treaty
which iustifios any such inference. On
the contrary. il seems clear that If this
treaty is ratified the United States binds
itself 70 submit TO arbitration its rights 20
enforce the Monroe doctrine as against
England.
IF Spain in her distress should sell Gu
ba TO England, / am unable TO see why ar
ticle Q does not expressly provide that our
right to exclude her from the control and
enjoyment of the territory claimed" under
such purchase Is not TO be submitted to ar
bitration
The language Of article @, whether so
intended or not, would seem to fit and pro
vide for tho exact situation that would ex-
ist under those circumstances.
Certainly, If England should purchase
either Cuba OF St. Thomas her right o.
have access to control and enjoy the tcrri-
tory thus purchased would constitute q
territorial claim within the meaning OF
the language used i'm article q.
Under the language of this treaty Oh,
United States could not rcfusc Co arhitmt,
Englands right 90 occupy the territory
thus acquired by purchase without being
guilty of a breach of this treaty
Nor could we resist the forcihle occu
patton of the territory OF any of the numcr
Gus South American states made by ErE
land undcra claim Of right An such qucs
tions must under this treaty be submittc,
to arbitration.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
The Senate Turns Down Olney-R Routine
Business In the House.

Business In the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Secretary Olncy
was turned down by the senate in exec
utivc session Ia lis effort to have the vote
on the extradition treaties between this
country and the Orange Free State and
the Argentine Republic reconsidered for
the purpose of withdrawing the scnats's
amendments. He was beaten at every
point. At the conclusion of two hours
session the senate resolved TO stand by its
original decision not to accept the treaties
without amendments protecting American
citizens The secretary had requested in a
long letter that the senate amendments
making these treaties conform to custom
in these matters by making it optional
with this government whether its own
citizens should be extraditcd from this
country should be withdrawn.
Almost the entire session was given TO
speeches by members of the committee on
foreign relations showing why there should
be no change in the custom which had,
the speakers said worked we'll for over
100 years. Speeches were made by Sena-
tors Morgan Davis and others. and il was
stated that the committee stood as a unit
in opposition TO the innovation proposed
by the secretary Of state At the conclu-
nith vi titct SlNiiutN illt NtilaNr OerfUeU
without division to allow its previous de-
cision, not to ratify tho treaties without
amendment, to stand thus ignoring the
Gecretary's s request
AT the conclusion Of the executive Sos
sion Mr. Bacon Of Georgia spoke at length
on the Cuban question, upholding the
power of congress to recognize new gov
ernments The senator insisted that the
arrogant assertion of one man power
threatened TO make the presidential power
greater than that exerted by any monarch.
An agreement was reached for a vote on
the free homestead bill at O'Clock this
afternoon.
After very dun session, devoted to
passing bills Of minor Importance, the
house plunged into warm controversy over
bill to make oleomargarine and other
limitations Of dairy products subject to
laws of the states into which they are
transported. The author of the bill, Mr..
Grant of Vermont, led the fight for it, and
it was opposed by the Democrats and sew
eral Republicans chiefly on the ground
that it would give the states power to pro.
hibit the use Of such products
The house got into parliamentary
