High Water This Spring.

that time will rival the memorable one
in the spring of 1881. In accordance
with this belief, which is accustomed by
the vast amount of snow which has
fallen throughout the entire region
drained by tho Missouri, he is prepar'
ing to remove his stock and other prop
erty to higher ground before the break
ing up Of the river. He will not re-
move his house but will anchor it to
posts sunk ut each corner to prevent it
being carried away should the expected
flood occur.

Friends of the Arbitration
Treaty Not Hopeful of
Early Action.
Debate Begun in the Senate
and a Number Of ADJ
dresses Made.
Said That Ratification Will
Win If a Vote Can Be
Reached.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The Anglo.
American arbitration treaty was under
consideration by the senate from l
o'clock until s 80. The entire proceed
ing was in executive session. The first
half of the session was spent in debat-
ing a motion introduced by Senator
Hill to consider the treaty in open SEN
ate and the most animated part of the
days proceedings was based upon this
matter. Several sharp passages at
arms between the author Of the motion
and Senators Morgan, Lodge and Sher-
man occurred, the three last named
contending strenuously for the observ-
ance of the Standardization of secrecy
in dealing with the treaty. 1t was
stated that it was the wish Of the ad-
ministration that the public should be
excluded from the debates.
Not Regarded ~ a Test.
= The only vote of the day was secured
on the Hill motion, which was de-
feated, the count showing only 8 for it
and 40 against. This was not consid-
cred as in any respect test vote, as
there are known to be many senators
opposed to the treaty who did not
favor a departure from the ordinary
practice OF the senate. Still, the
friends of the treaty believe that sutfi.
Gent strength was developed as to the
attitude of the senators to justify the
conclusion that the treaty is certain Of
ratification if it can be brought to a
vote. It is claimed that the straight
Republican vote is solidly favorable to
ratification, and that fraction at least
of all the other elements will be found
in that column when the vote is an.
nounced. 1t was made apparent, how.
ever, that the treaty g.
Would Stand No Chance
without the committee amendments.
The supporters of the agreement are
not, however, SO sanguine Of early &C.
ton as favorable result when secured.
A quite determined spirit Of delay was
made manifest.
With the Hill motion disposed of the
senate took up the treaty upon its
merits. Senator Sherman, chairman OF
the committee on foreign relations,
spoke for about an hour, making a
strong plea for the ratification of the
treaty, which, he urged, was the
realization Of a, dream which had long
been cherished in the United States.
Senator Morgan replied to Mr.. Sher-
man. speaking in opposition to the
treaty. The Alabama senator's argu-
ment was largely constitutional in ten.
dency. q.
