bate on the Tarin.
Washington, March 23.-The first day
of the tariff debate in the house was
rather tame from both spectacular and
an oratorical standpoint. The galleries
were well filled all day and the MEM
bers on the floor listened conscientious
ly. but there was an absence both of
that sharp cross-firing which keeps the
nerves on edge and that brilliant elo-
quence which inspires and holds the
imagination. The opening of the de-
bate was delayed over two hours by
the full reading of the bill of 162 pages,
and this. TO begin with, had a some
what depressing influence. The Repub-
lican leaders insisted on this to avoid
the possible charge in the future. should
the consideration of the bill not be COM
pleted under the five-minute rule, that
the bill was never read in full in the
house-a thing which happened in the
cases of both the Mckinley and Wilson
bills.
Only four speeches were made at the
day session. Dingley. the chairman of
the ways and means committee, opened
in an hours speech for the majority
and Wheeler of Alabama fired the
broadside for the opposition. The
Democratic plans had miscarried.
Bailey. leader of the opposition, had
decided to close the debate and McMil-
lin Of Tennessee had been selected to
reply to Dingley. but at the last
moment It was learned that McMnlin
had been unable to prepare himself
owing to the illness Of his wife, The

The fugitives are: James Foley, John

Although it is supposed that the es-

the fact that the three men were gone

MORE FoRIGN COMPLICATIONS
May Arise Over the s'Pacific" Blockade OF

May Arise Over the Pacific" Blockade of
Cretan Islands.
Washington, March 23-Secreary of
State Sherman has been notified that
pacific blockade of Crete was begun at
O'Clock Sunday morning. The notifica-
ton was made in concert by the repre-
sentatives of the six powers signatory to
the Berlin treaty-Great Britain,
France. Italy, Germany, Austria Hun
gary and Russia. The notice declares
that merchant vessels Of neutral powers,
including those Of the United States,
will not be disturbed in their usual COM
mercial ventures, provided their cargoes
contain nothing for use by the Greeks
or insurgents on the island. Such ves-
sells, however, are subject to inspection
by the blockading warships of the con-
certed squadrons.
While Secretary Sherman declined to
discuss the matter in any way. the other
officials of the state department take the
ground that If the occasion arose the
United States would be likely to refuse
to recognize the blockade. There are
no direct presidents for refusing to give
such recognition. but there are many
eminent International lawyers who con-
tend that pacific blockades'' for the
purpose Of coercion are in violation Of
the laws Of nations.

NEW TREATY IN EACH CASE.


Practical Erect Of the SenAte's WORK -
Arbitratiou.
Washington, March 23.lThe Anglo
American arbitration treaty was ad-
vanecd considerably towards final rat
i1cation by the senate yesterday. and
before the long executive session closed
all amendments recommended by the
committee on foreign relations were
agreed to without division. These
amendments are: ~ To prove that all
agreements for arbitration entered into
by the executive branch Of this govern
ment with the British government shall
be subject to the ratification Of the SEN
ate; 90 striking out the provisions con-
shutting members Of the United States
supreme court permanent members Of
the proposed tribunal Of arbitration. and
90 eliminating the provision for an UNI
pire. and therefore striking out the pro-
vision agreeing upon King Oscar Of
Sweden and Norway for this Office.
The principal debate Of the day arose
on an amendment to the committee
amendment in regard to the supreme
court, offered by Morgan. Morgan
moved to strike out the words "jurists
OF reDute" which the committee pro-
posed to substitute at the points where
Justices of the United States supreme
court were mentioned in articles III and
vi Of the treaty. Morgan's amendment
waj lost. This disposed of the commit
tee amendments and then Mason pro-
posed to require all arbitrators on our
side to be American born. Nelson OBJ
jected and it was defeated.
Foraker offered an amendment re-
quiring separate tribunal for each
question arising under the treaty and
Chiffon one requiring the senate to de-
eide what matters shall be submitted to
arbitration. The objection to this was
that it would leave the treaty q mere
shell, which it looks now to "a man I'D
tree" During the talk the Monroe
doctrine came UP and Morgan got the
floor on that point just before the SEN
ate adjourned. No other business of
any importance was transacted.
