REPORTED.
OLD GROUND GONE OVER AGAIN.
No Danger of Any Very Serious
Trouble, the Point Most Strongly
Insisted upon.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-When
the senate went into executive session
this afternoon the arbitration treaty
was reported. Senator Morgan began
speaking in opposition to the treaty.
opposing it on the grounds he did when
the matter was last before the senate
The report in favor of the treaty was
presented by Senator Davis, as chair
man Of the committee on foreign rela-
ticns, and was in the shape of a resolu-
ton for ratification
Senator Morgan's speech was q
statement of his position, and those Of
Senators Daniel and Mills, who fol-
lowed, were in the nature of a minor
ity report in opposition to the treaty
Morgan spoke at considerable length.
going over much of the. ground covered
by himself and others when the treaty.
was before the senate during the last
session. He made the point that Eng
lands interests were antagonistic to
these of the United States, and said
that this country could best conserve
its own interests by avoiding all en-
tangling alliances such as the present
treaty contemplates.
There is no danger of a misunder-
standing of a serious nature between
the people Of this country and the COM
mon people of England" he said, and
then added that he ranked such leaders
as Gladstone and Bright with the
English commoners. But he contend
ed that the interests of British aristo-
Gratis are every way antagonistic to
the interests of the great masses of
the American people. He also adj
Vanced the argument that one con-
gress could not, by it's action, bind
another, and said that on this account
the treaty was a mere piece of bun
ccmbe
Fhe right of declaring war" he said
is given to congress, and it is implied
that II is given to one congress as
much as another. Hence even if we
ratify the treaty it would not be binding
on future sessions If, in other words.
the two nations found sufficient provo
cation for going to war, they would
proceed to hostilities regardless of
treaties of peace. If, on the other
hand, they found themselves disputing
over trivial matter they naturally
would resort to arbitration and there
would be no more difficulty in arrang-
ing separate arbitration for each Oc-
casion in the future than there has
been in the past"
Mr.. Morgan's statement was read
from manuscript and he gave notice
that he would have it printed for the
use of the senate. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Morgan's remarks Senator
Davis gave notice that he would ask
the senate to take up the treaty again
tomorrow and said that he would then
speak on it,

duced his amendment of last session.
