Treaty In Senate.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The house will,
on Wednesday, enter upon the con-
sideration of the bankruptcy bill,
which the majority of the judiciary
committee has reported as a substitute
for the Nelson bill. passed by the SEN
ate at the extra session last summer.
Under the order made, the bill is to be
debated on Wednesday. Thursday and
Saturday of this week at o'clock
The substitute, which the minority
contend practically is the old Torrey
bill, including both the voluntary and
involuntary feature, will be opposed by
the united Democratic and Populistic
convention, but if there is no detection
from the ranks of the majority, the
measure will pass. The Democrats and
Populists are both favorable to the
passage of a voluntary bankruptcy bill,
but have always vigorously opposed
the Torrey and other bills, including
an involuntary feature, claiming that
it's purpose is practically the creation
of a law for the collection of debts.
