OLNEY REBUFFED.
His Advice Regarding Two Extradi-
tiOn Treaties Unheeded

WASHING TON, Jan. 13 - Olney was
turned down by the Senate in executive
session to-day in his effort to have the
vote on the extradtion treaties between
this country and the Orange Free State
and the argentine Republic considered for
the purpose of Withdrawing the Senate's
amendrrents. He was beaten at every
point. AT the conclusion of the two hours
session the Senate resolved TO stand by its
original decision not to accept the treaties
without amendment protecting American
citizens. Tie secretary had requested in a
long letter that the Senate amendments
making these treaties conform to custom in
these matters by making IL optional with
this government whether it's own citizens
should be extradited from this country
should be withdrawn.
Almost the entire session to-day was
given TO speeches by members of the COM
mittee on foreign relations showing why
there should be no change in the custom
that had, the speakers said, worked well
for over q hundred years. Speeches were
made by Senators Morgan. Davis and 9th
ers and il was stated that the committee
stood as a unit in opposition TO the innova-
tion proposed by the secretary of state.
At the conclusion of these speeches the
Senate decided without division, to allow
its previous decision not 10 ratfy the treat
les without amendment TO stand. thus ig-
noring the secretarys request.

SPANS FIRST DUTY.


New York. Nov. sL-A dispatch to the

Depiorable as the condition Of the con-
centrados may be. Spain's first duty Is
clearly to relieve the sufrertngs Of her
troops. The loyal soldiers are In SER
ious plight, as bad as a majority of the
reconcentrados. The latter have one ad-
vantage; they may beg and receive char
ity. To begin with, the Spanish soldiers
have drawn no pay for many months and
consequently they are not abe to buy
anything on their own account in the
small towns In which they are stationed.
Then, too. the credit Of the troops has
been in most instances exhausted, the
shopkeepers refusing 10 deiiver more
goods until they are paid what Is due

is what is supplied by the commissarilt

with me four days after his arrival
stated that he would do his utmost to
better the condition Of the private SOL

soldiers were In. To learn this he must
personally inspect the country districts.
