THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
secretary Oiney Explains It's Pro-
visions to the Senate Committee.

The Senate committee on foreign relations
today had under consideration the general
arbitration convention between the United
States and Great Britain. Secretary Olnev
was before the committee during the ses-
SIGN to explain the provisions of the treaty.
Secretary Olney remained with the COM
mittee until it adjourned. There was a gem
eral discussion of the provisions of the
treaty, nearly every member questionine
the Secretary about it and its probable eff
iect- Nothing was brought out SHOWING
any dennite plan of the committee Or its
intention regarding the treaty. though the
questions put to the Secretary indicated
that there would be opposition to MANY of
It's provisions, and that there were difyer-
ences of opinion between members and the
Secretary as TO the effect of the treaty.
Mr Oiney presented no prepared state
ment, the proceeding being largely fnterIoc-
utory in character The proceedings vere
cirecte1 In the main to an Interchange of
opinion upon the bearing of the treaty npon
the Monroe doctrine. The Secretary ex-
pressed the belief that II would have mo
influence whatever upon that tenet of the
American faith, and said that according Ia
his view, neither that doctrine nor the suh-
jects 1t affects would be rendered subject
to arbitrament by the ratification of the
treaty.
Some members of the committee took an
opposite view. but they appeared to be
In the minority on this point. Mr. Olney
declared that the treaty had been nego-
uated with great care for the protection
OF American interests and expressed the
opinion that II ratified 1t would be found
a satisfactory safeguard of the national
interestss1of the United States He held
that the treaay7fclearly expressed its pur-
pose d nd said there was no hidden meaning
concealed in itssIPhraseoIogy. He conterd-
ed FOR It's approval as an advance in dipIo-
macy in accordance with the tendency OF
the times and Especially with the best
American thought ard feeling. There was
some discussion of the provision giving Ia
kiEg Oscar of Sweden and Norway the
right to name the umpire of the proposed
arbitration commission as having ten
dency to give England an advantage in
the settlement of disputes, and it was made
apparent that many of the members of
the committee felt that the treaty wo,,Id

''The Metropolitan Railroad COMPANY
was made to extend it's tracks," replied
Mr. Faulkner. Congress has compelled
the existing railroad companies to give
rapid transit, and, with the exception of
two lines, we have no horse cars here
now. The policy of Congress in respect
to all local corporations was to allow but
one company to do particular kind OF
work.
This city is in a most unfortunate con-
dition in relation to telephone companies !"
said Mr.. Faulkner.
Pursuing the general policy of Congress.
the telephone company has not been all
lowed to lay conduits for the extension of
their lines The Commissioners only two
weeks ago decided that they could not per
nit the telephone company to lay a con-
duit: and no one can get a telephone in
his house who cannot get a line strung di-
rectly from an existing pole provided with
telephone wire to his house Overhead
wires cannot be strung, and until a plan
FOR general subway has been adopted by
Congress the policy had been not to allow
conduits for these wires to be laid.
In reply to a question by Mr.. Tillman.
Mr.. Faulkner said he was afraid that Con.
gress could not force electric light COM
companies should be allowed to provide
conduts for themselves. He continued 70

Greenwood Ind, is the scene of a
novel and protracted fight against the
saloon The methods employed are de-
tailed by the New York Post. The
fore front in the attack is held by the
Womans Christian Temperance union,
and their weapons are legal ones and
the power of a counter attraction.
Whenever a saloon is started the tenn
perance women Immediately open a ri
val establishment near. by, where they
vend ice cream or oyster stews, accord
ing to the season. Greenwood is a
small place, and a strong appetite for
liquor with a contemptuous regard for
Mrs. Grundy is needed by anyone who
would dare to enter the saloon under
the watchful eyes of the women across
the way. Their enterprise is literally
patronzed by sympathizers in their
cause, and thus the funds are obtained
wherewith to prosecute the liquor seller
when he Is detected in violating any
provision of the law. which he is NOR
ally certain to do. Two saloon keepers
have been forced to quit the business,
and the war against a venturesome
third one is on with prospects of an
other victory for the oyster vendors.
