THE ARBITRATION TREATY
Time Fixed for Taking a Vote on tn,
Amendments.
Speeches Made I'm the Executive Sex-
sion of the Senate Yester-
day Afternoon.

A determined effort was made by Senator
Davis yesterday to secure unanimous con-
seEt TO fix day when the final vote should
be taken on the arbitration treaty. but only
succeeded to the extent CT obtaining an
agreement to a time for vote on the mis-
cellaneous amendments. The executive ses-
sion Continued from 1870 until o'clock.
Considerable time was spent in contention
over tae effort to secure a time for vote
and il was only after decided controversy
that the opponents of ratification agreed 10
a date for voting on the amen lments. They
based their opposition on the fact thai
there We're a good many ahsenteeS whom
they considered it desirable TO have in the
Senate when the vote should be taken.
The understanding as to the vote on the
amendments was reached on plan out
lined by Senator Hoar. Ii provides that
the general discussion en- amendments shall
continue until O'Clock on "Wednesday of
next week, when a vote is 10 be taken on
those which may be pending al that time
that, in case any Of The amendments are
agreed to, the treaty as amended shall he
printed and returned to the Senate and sha Al
stu be open to amendment but that the
final vote on amendments shall be taken at
O'Clock the following day. Thursday
The main debate of the day was upon the
Chiffon amendment providing for submit
ting all agreements for arbitration made
under the treaty to the Seaa-e for its ap-
Element Senator Morgan supported the
amendment. He ANNOUNCED himself as op-
posed to the treaty in any shape but said
that If ii was TO be ratified at all The
amendment should by Ill means be accept
ed; otherwise the treaty would ne SUP
versive of some Of most cherished
American ideas.
Senator Lodge made a strong plea for
the treaty without further amendment: He
said that while always a warm advocate of
the principle of arbitration, he had from
: he first contcnded for amendments which
would render the treaty acceptable to the
American public. He felt satisfied he said
that the notifications made IN committee
had accomplished completely this pr:rpos.,
ana that the document as amended was one
'hat would command itself to every SUM-
porter OF peaceable methods for the adj
1cstment or disputes and to every friend of
humanity He thought TO other amend
mehts were necessary. He also held that
me committed amendments would In effect
require the submission of all agreement, :,
Under the treaty to the Senate
Senators Davis and Hoar made hrief
speeches, practically taking the same
ground II was apparent during the ses-
sion That the friends of the treaty hold tha,
TIE committee amendments will accomplish
though IN more diplomatic phraseology tho
ehd sought to be attained by the Chiffon
amendment. Several senator's among rhem
Messrs. Thurston and Spooner asked If
this We're the case why it should moi he
explicitly stated, as in the Chiffon oroyis;nr

OF inns language might have the effect of
preventing future MISUNDERSTANDING.

THE CABINET HIS GUESTS.

tertafns Them.

tertafnx Them.
The members of the cabinet the secre.
tary to the President, Mr.. John Addison
Porter, and Messrs. John r. Proctor and
John B. Harlow, civil service commission
ers.were the guests at dinner Tuesday ever
commission. But for the debate I'm the
Senate yesterday there would be no ques-
tion as to the object of the social courtesy
shown by Mr.. Rice to his guests. The
criticisms brought out at the Capitol. with
out other knowledge, would give color of
truth to the report that went about today
that the dinner was arranged 10 give op.
portunity to talk over appointments, with
view to having personal assurances that
the commission will be supported in the
execution of the civil service law. 1t there
fore makes the little social event a little
less interesting than il might otherwise
have been to learn that Mr.. Rice invited
his guests the 9Th and 9th of March, a
fortnight before the Serate debate occur
red. Secretary Gage. who is a candid and
earnest civil service reforlner, accepted the
Invitation on the 10th of March, the others
with the following two or three days. The
object was wholly a social one, to bring
about better acquaintance between the
commissioners and the members of the
cabinet. with whom they are constantly in
correspondence on official matters. 1t is
quite possibly fact that literature art
and science were not the only topics of
conversation, and that now and then be-
tween the courses a word or two about the
civil service law and system came in by
way of variety.

FIGHTING THE SHEEP TAX,
A Number of Arrests Have Been Made In
Utah.

Springvillc. Utah, Aug. 21.-The
threatened war of the sheep men on
the ordinances passed by the various
counties imposing Il tax Of from two
to ten cents per head on sheep has COM
menced. The sheepmen claim that the
successful imposing of this tax means
practically the destruction of one of
Utah's greatest industries and are
about to fight It to the bitter end.
Last night Charles Ingham was ar
rested In Rich county, where the tax Is
very high, for the non-paymcnt of the
tax and was imprisoned. II is not yet
known whether the Wool Growers AS
sociation will take up and defend his
case or not.
In Summit county Thomas w. Jones
and Walter Irvine We're arrested and
criminal suit began against them. They
were fined, but made an appeal from
the decision. \ civil suit for damages
has not been instituted. Both sides
will bring the fight into the District
Court. where the test for constitutions
ality will be made in both civil and
criminal aspects. The counties levying
the tax are adopting strong measures
to carry out their anti-shcep law Sheep
owners generally are disregarding the
ordnance and seem determined to put
the matter to Il thorough test.

Lambs Dying or.

From reports received by State Vet
erinarian Gresswell it is evident that
something of the nature of plague has
struck the lambs of Colorado and Wy
0ming, and that they are dying ut an
alarming rate. Sheep owners are threat
ened with the loss of all this years
lambs. The sheep are not killed by the
disease from the fact that they are Old
and are able to withstand the attacks.
From the symptoms MS described to DR..
Gresswell. he thinks that the lambs are
undoubtedly affected by tape worms
and has issued the following prescrip-
ton for the treatment of such animals
as give indications of being affected:
"Sulphatc of magncsia, % ounces:
arCcu nut. 4 ounces: gcntian root, =
ounces; anise seed, 2 ounces: ginger.
ounces: sulphate of iron. ounces;
sweet spirits of nitrc. IL ounces: oil car
raway. 100 drops; oil cassia. 100 drops;
oil peppermint. 100 drops, and sugar. II
ounces. The oils and nitre must be
thoroughly mixed before putting them
with the powder. Mix with 12% pints of
water Keep stirred during the entire
time of giving the medicine. Give to
each lamb II two-ounce syringe full,
faking care not to throw the animal on
its back nor raise its head above the
level of the back while giving the medi.
cine. Two doses are generally suificient,
ciycr three days apart.-Dcnver Reput

The British consul general in Japan,
In recently issued report, states that
lowing to the financial depression in
America, that country has made its ap-
pearance as serious competitor with
Europe in the supply of machinery,
rails, nails and pig iron. 1t has been
stated that American nails have been
sold largely in Japan about the end of
1896 at so per cent. lower than prices
current in the United States. and these
goods altogether defied the competi-
ton of German makers, who have hith-
erto held the trade. About 10000 tons
Of American rails were sold to Japan
at lower prices than British makers
were willing to accept" Another mat
ter Of some Importance. ard one which
may have considerable bearing on the
future of the American iron and steel
trade, is discussed in Mr.. Sanderson's
report, It is, that the United States,
not content with its enormous railway
mileage, is providing means for I'M
proving its water carriage. The ex-
listing canals. such as the Erie, the
iChamplain, the Oswego, the Black
River, the Cayuga and Seneca, are to
be widened and deepened. Besides
this, a commission of inquiry as to
deep-water canals has recently made a
report. ,.tr-ln r. ws

Attorney General Boyle to enjoin the
railroad companies operating in Kan
sas from collecting more for the haul
Ing of live stock than is allowed under
the recent order of the Board of Rail
road Commissioners, which order for
bade the railroads charging by the
hundred pounds for carload lots, has
met with n decided setback. The at
torney general had prepared an injunc-
tlon proceeding against all the rail-
roads involved and proposed to file his
petitions in every county court In the
state. But when the attorney general
appeared here before Judge Randolph
the judge refused to grant the prelimi-
nary injunction. Judge Randolph de-
clnred that he did not believe in gov
ernment by injunction and asserted
that In any event he would not grant
even n temporary injunction until tho
defendants could be present. He,
therefore, named Wednesday next as
the date for hearing on the applica.
tion for temporary Injunction. p
