DON'T Want Pence.

England's supposed recognition of the
Monroe doctrine falls with the failure of
the arbitration treaty. Having lost this
chance to fix Monroeism as an interna-
tional principle, the United States may
some day be compelled to fight for 1t or
abandon it. The compact. says Wash
ington correspondent, was the outgrowth
of the stand taken by the United States
as to Venezuela, and, as the bargain was
not fulfilled. England is not committed to
the theory of American rule in America.
After changing, distiguring and invali-
dating the arbitration treaty until out of
all semblance to the pact as it came from
the hands of Olney and Pauncefote. the
Senate kicked its own hybrid out of doors.
BY vote of 43 to 26 the treaty was lost.
The rules of the Senate require a majority
of two-thirds for the ratification of trea-
ties. Hence four more affirmative votes
would have been required to secure a
favorable result. The vote in detail was:
Yeas-Allison, Bacon, Burrows, CAT
frey, Clay, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Fair
banks. Faulkner, Foraker, Frye. Calm
ger, Gear, Gray. Hale, Hanna, Hawley,
Hoar. Lindsay, Lodge. Mcbride, McEn-
cry, Mcmillan, Mitchell, Morrill,, Nelson,
Pascoe, Perkins, Platt of Connecticut,
Plat of New York, Pritchard, Proctor,
Smith. Spooner, Thurston, Turpie, Vest,
Walthall, Warren, Wellington, Wetmore,
Wilson-io.

ter. Cockrell; Daniel, Hansbrough, Har-
ris of Kansas, Harris of Tennessee, Heit-
field, Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Ne
vada, Kyle, Martin, Mason. Mills, NOR
gan, Penrose, Pettigrew, Pettus, Quay,
Rawlins, Roach, Shoup, Stewart, White
-26.
The total vote cast was sixty-nine, leav-
ing nineteen Senators who did not re-
spond.
The pairs were as follows. two afiirma-
tive Senators being paired with one mega
tive Senator in most instances:
Chandler and Clark for, with Teller
against.
Tillman and Turner for, with Chiffon
against.
Sewell and Earle for. with Mantle
against.
Senator George was paired for the
treaty and Senator Berry against it.
Pairs not announced for, were the fol-
lowing: Aldrich. Cannon, Elkins, Cor
man, Murphy, Wolcott, Kenney and Al
len.
The vote was preceded by short, spir-
tied debate, introduced by Mills. who
made a strong appeal to the Senate
against ratifying the agreement. He as
serted that as amended the document was
most Objectionable, not to say contradic-
tory in its terms. He pointed out espe-
cially the provisions for the settlement
of the controversies in regard to terrific
rial claims and asserted that whereas the
amendments adopted by the Senate to the
first article of the treaty declared against
their inclusion, those to the sixth and
eighth articles made provision for them.
He held that as long as these articles re-
mained unchanged England justly would
claim that its questions of territorial
rights were still included within the scope
of the treaty. Under such circumstances
he asked, what was to prevent England
from purchasing the island of Cuba or any
other American territory. and in case OF
objection on the part of the United States
insisting upon reference of the dispute tO
arbitration. He spoke of the conduct OF
England in connection with the Greco
Turkish war and implored the Senate "a
protect the United States against the pro-
posed alliance.
