emy and legislative bill will be report
ed from the committee Monday.

cifc railroads until the governments

nection with the decision of the repub-

ers.
There Is no indication of any inten-
tion to call up the Cameron Cuban res
olution. The utterances of Mr.. Sher-
man on this subject since the formal
announcement of his acceptance Of
the state department portfolio are
looked upon by his associates as
request from the incoming admins
tration that nothing should be done
pending its accession to power. Sever
al influential senators who were previ-
ously charged with being "Jungers''
have since their visit to Canton become
very conservative, and no one on the
republican side Of the chamber IL now
urging action of any kind with respect
to the war in Cuba.
The extradition treaties between the
United States and the Orange Free
State and the Argentine republic will
probably be disposed Of this week, and
the rest OF the time will be devoted to
clearing up matter on the calendar. In
the house of representatives no pro.
gramme of business has been arranged
except Virginia contested election
case. It 10 the expectation Of the
members Of the committee on rules
that In the course of the week the
agriculture and Indian appropriation
bills will be considered.
Talmsge ON the Arbitrstion Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s-Dr. Dewitt
Talmage, who succeeded DR.. Sunder-
land in the active pastorship Of the
Presidential Presbyterian church in
Washington. in his sermon Sunday
morning referred to the pending arbi-
tration treaty with Great Britain,
characterizing it as the mightiest,
grandest movement for driving brutal
war out of the earth. He said
the men who on either side OF
the sea did most to effect that plan OF
arbitration have made themselves i'm
mortal. The evening of the present
administration of the United States
government has been honored with the
greatest and gladdest event of 1s cen.
turies AL civilized nations will copy
the sublime example. He implored the
senate to promptly ratify the treaty.
Mr.. Cleveland was not present at the
services.
Peace Treaty May Not Pass the Senate
WASHINGTON, Jan. ls.-It is doubtful
If the arbitration treaty with Great
Britain, signed by Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote last week, and
now before the senate, will be able to
run the gauntlet of that body. If the
treaty. fails to receive the necessary
two-thirds votes to make it valid and
binding, it will be largely due to the
tactless statement of Secretary Olney
just before the holidays in declaring
that the recognition of the republic OF
Cuba was purely an executive func'
tion, and that congress must keep its
hands of.
