Another cause for the cooling of Ehe administration s enthusiasm on this alter is found in the datention expressed by certain senate leaders to frame a treaty in such terms that questions touching g national integrity and honor-all ma = ters involving the Monroe doctrine and it's construction-wou1d be elimi mated from it's provisions and would come for final settlement before the United States senate. The adminils- tration does not favor a treaty with any such vague limitations and with the certain result of increasing the bowen of the senior branch of the na- tional legislature at Ithe expense of the executive. No treaty drawn on the lines of the -Olney agreement would be passed by the senate, and the administration is de- termined ito stand out against any such treaty as the semlate would da- sire There may be change in the program resulting from some more favorable expressions from England than has yet been made; but if pres ent conditions prevail, it may be stated with considerable 1conidence that no arbitration measure will be presented at this session of the sem ate.

NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
Representatives Hold a Conference
 With Secretary Wilson.

Washington, Dec 15.-Thel house committe on agriculture called on Sec uetary Wilson of that department yes terday, and had an informal chat with the secretary regarding the needs elf the department. Secretary Wilson went over in a general way what par ticular features should have increased appropriations. He made special ref erence to the lack of weather bureau stations tn the northwes tern section of the country. There is a large gap in this section, where the bureau sta tionS do not exist. It was explained that they were especially needed in Nhat region, as the northwest winds sweep down there, and it is by fore casting their approach that the fruit growers of the southern section, es- pecially tn California, are saved great 1oss
 The stations in California have b3e , found of inestimable value to the fruit growers of California The cold snaps which follow on the heels of the northwest wind are foretold Es- pecially is this the case with the grape growers, who are enabled to cover up their grapes and save them from the frost. The secretary is of the CD n On thad still greater good would result by the establishment. of number more of stations.
 Another point to which he calle their attention was tha need of an increase of appropriations for micro scopically examining meats. This will require a good sized appropria- ton, as Ehe examinations or inspec- tions have to be made in the packing houses. At present. there is not near money enough for this purpose.
 Neither France nor Germany at the present time takes American beef, though Germany lakes pork from this country. It is hoped that if the mi crOscopical examinations can be car- ried on extensively that both those countries can be induced to take our meat products. It will be necessary to carry on this on a large scale, so that the supply can equal the demand when this gets to be the case. As a matter of fact, although a number of deaths have occurred in Germany from tGfchinae. caused by eating raw pork, not one Of them has been attrib- uted to any which came from Amer ica.
 The members of the committee sig nified their intention of making the appropriation in accordance with the wishes of the secretary

GEN. HARRISON IN NEW YORK.
Says Return to Power of Republicans
 Has Brought Better Times.

New York, Dec 15.-EX-P President Benjamin Harrison is at the Fifth avenue hotel. He comes from In dianapolis about a dozen times year, having many law cases which require his presence in this city. General Harrison was asked last night if he had observed any improvement In the business conditions of the country.
 ''Yes," replied the ex-president, ''there is marked change in the feeling from what there was before the return of the republican party to power. There is a much better tone and the busi- ness interests are more confident than they were that the times are to i'm prove. Of course, the Christmas shipping will create q large amount of business for the time being, but there i is general improvement all along the line, and the farmer and agricul turist now feel it the most.
 | General Harrison did not care to say anything as to the plan of financial reform outlined in the report of Sec retary of the Treasury Gage. Con corning the Dingley tariff bill he said that it was altogether too early to de ! termine whether it would produce revenue sufficient for the needs of the government.
