sepate In ErseutIye se..Len.

WASHINGTON, Feb l9.-The senate spent
almost its entire time In executive session
for the consideration of the nomination Of
Hon. c. +. AmidOn to be district Judge OF
North Dakota and OF the Anglo-American
arbitration treaty. The greater part Of the
time was given up 70 the judgeship ques-
tion, and the treaty was not reached until
late hour, after Mr.. Amidon's conflrma-
tion.
1t had been the intention Of friends Of
the treaty to make an extraordinary effort
to secure if possible its disposition before
adjournment, but their plans were frus-
trated by senators who were more anxious
10 secure action upon nominations There
wore two yea and nay votes during the
session bearing on the treaty. In the first,
which was contest between the treaty
and the nominations as to which should
have precedence, the treaty lost. In the
second, on a motion to adjourn, which
was antagonized principally by the friends
of the treaty, the treaty won, as adjourn
ment at, that time was prevented. Both
votes were close, and neither was specially
significant, a. in the first vote some
friends of the treaty cast their ballots
against It and in the second some OF its
opponents were averse to adjournment
saying they were as willing for the test to-
day as at any other time 1t was not long
after this latter vote that Senator Sherman
himself moved an adjournment In enter
ing this motion Mr.. Sherman said that he
was actuated by desire to consult the
convenience of the senate, and that recog-
nizing the fact that much of the day had
been given to another subject he conceded
it was hardly fair to ask the senate TO take
up the treaty at that hour with view to
continuing its discussion until it should
be disposed Of
There were no speeches on the merits OF
the treaty during the session, but all that
were made were devoted TO motion by
Senator Nelson OF Minnesota to postpone
the treaty until the 5th of March. The
speeches in favor of this motion were By
Senators Nelson, Allison and Frye, and
those in opposition by Senators sherman,
Lodge, Hoar and Vest The iirst three
were without exception friendly to the
treaty, but they urged the pressing char.
acter of other business and the apparent
futility OF trying to get a vote on the trea-
ty at the present session. Messrs. sherman,
Lodge, Hoar and Vest contended that a
vote could be had If the friends of the
treaty, who, Mr.. Sherman said embraced
three-fourths Of the senate, would only
show their devotion by maintaining a
quorum day and night until vote could
be reached.

the Latest Pigeon Message.

New York Sept. 2O.-Evclyn 3. Bald
win. the meteorOlogist of the Pcary eXpe-
ditiOn of 1874, was interviewed. today, by
The Associated Press. regarding the lat
est pigeon dispatch from Andree. Mr..
Baldwin said:
This message indicates that Andree
has safely crossed the $50 miles or SO of
open water which extends from the north
the pack ice. When Andree wrote it. he
was sailing over the great frozen sea
which reaches continuously and and be-
You'd the north pole. 1t is evident that
the loss of the three guide ropes which
occurred on the day Andree started had
not prevented him from guiding the bal
loon. Some expert aeronauts thought
that this accident might bring speedy dis
s:ster
1T is also evident that the unbelieving
acronauts who declared that the gas in
tic balloon would never stand the tenn
perature of the packed ice were wrong
II the extreme cold caused any percep-
tible change in the gases, such action
would have taken place before Andree
wrote this last message. And If the cold
bad done the work so much feared, An
dree would not have said: All WE'LL
ut is significant to note that Andrea
was going eastward, the direction he in
tended to take. There is q straw which
helps to verify his reported safe appear
ance in Arctic Russia.
Doubtful scientists declared before An
dree left that he would be unable to de-
termine his exact location from the bal
loon. The 10th of degrees given in his
message prove that Andree was not only
able to ascertain his whereabouts, but
did so with remarkable accuracy.
The first three days were looked upon
as being the most perilous and important
of the entire journey. Andree's ability to
successfully withstand the initial difficult
ties argues better than the ordinary lay
mind would imagine for the elimination
of his daring project 4-H~

located in BrOckton, but would be pleased
to come to Bangor If an opportunity Is
offered.

have to break in a new pair Of shoes
this fall. He remarked that the ones
he played in last winter have been in
use five seasons and are about worn
out.

The owners of the six clubs which now

Chris Toole, who has been anxious to
obtain a franchise. has accordingly
abandoned hope and is deyoting his
efforts to the organization Of a league

chances are by no means bright for
the success of this plan. Some Of the
