( WARRINGTON, D. O., April 1.-The
senate to-day in executive session COM
Gluded It's consideration Of Ill amend
mentB to the arbitration treaty. The
voting on additional amendments be-
gan ut o'clock after three hours Of de-
bate, and in the hour and . half which
followed about dozen propositions
were passed upon. Two only were
adopted, except some making verbal
changes, OF those adopted. one, ofEer-
ed by Senator Bacon, exemptS the
claims against southern states from the
operations Of the treaty and the other,
Introduced by Senator Morgan, ellni-
mates article 8 Of the treaty.
Much OF the debate to-day turned on
these amendments. Their supporters
contended that under the constitution
state claims could not be made the sub
iect Of negotiations under u treaty. The
point was also made that the claims
against the southern states were con-
tEaoted during the period OF rRconstTuG-
tIon and were not legitimate OblIgR-
tions. II was held on the other hand
that under the amendments already
adopted, 1t would be impossible to hold
the southern claims subject to the
treaty, Senators Gray and Lindsay
presented the latter view. Many OF the
amendments voted down were directed
to putting limitations upon the hrBt ar
ticie. Proportions Of this character
were made by Senators Butler, Chiffon
and Bacon, and oil were rejected by the
uniform majority Of s. This was the
result OF n preconcerted move TO sClS"
tain the committee on foreign relations,
which takes position against further
amending this article.
An Interesting incident OF the session
was Senator Chambers refusal to agree
to q final vote to the treaty to-day. BE
called attention to the Associated
Press dispatches In regard to the Situa-
tlon In Crete, and said that be. did not
feel disposed to enter into negotiations
with q power whose guns were trained
up0n community OF Christians atFug-
CLING 10 throw on the yoke OF Moslem-
ism, He spoke also Of England'B con-
duct towards the Beers OF the Trans
vnal 0s deserving Of condemnation, and
a cause for hesitation In the present
negotiations. He said hesN'oild .pE0e,
ably fa the end vote for the treaty, but
that he was not In the mood to-day.
Senator Hale FIdIcuIed this view as
sentimental. He said that England'S
relations to other powers were not in.
yolYed In the negotiations Of the United
States with England, and contended
that in international afRirB It Was nec-
esSary to take broad grounds and also
that it was sometimes necessary for
nations to adopt policies that would not
suit every mans opinions or conform 70
our Views Of what was right and proper
in individual conduct
No day was fixed for final vote.
