TREATY NOT ABANDONED.

Senate VIII Continue to Discuss Ahne4"'
ton IN Secret Session.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-The senate
committee on foreign relations held
two hours sitting in an effort to decide
upon what course to pursue with REFER
ence to the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
When the meeting adjourned, the
members refused absolutely to give out
any information to the press, saying
that they had pledged themselves to
absolute 90 crecy. It was learned
through other senators, however, that
tho committee had under confederation
the advisability Of taking up the ques'
ton of annexation in the way OF legis'
lation rather than by the way OF ratify'
Ing that treaty and that they had de-.
cided not to abandon the treaty. At
least immediately, but to press it's con.
sideration upon the senate at tho drst
opportunity. They declined to say
even to senators what might be their
course later, combining themselves to
the declaration that they would seek to
have tho senate 60 into executive ses'
sion again for tho consideration OF the
treaty as soon as tho appropriation bills
could be gotten out Of the way.

but it was supposed this had blown
over and the demand for his recall
,ame somewhat in the nature OF sur
prise. The fact is also noted that Senior
Dupuy de LONE is due in Spain at this
time. His enforced retirement on q
demand by the United States is felt to
have awakened counter sentiment at
Madrid which finds expression against
Consul General Lee. There is little
doubt also that such advice a. Senior
Dupuy de LONE would give to tho gov
eminent or to the press in public in
Madrid would not be conducive toward
the retention of General Lee. There is
little doubt, however, that the main
cause Of Spain's action is the SYM
patty General Lee has shown for the
Cuban sufferers.

Asks the Same Concessions

In Event Of Noncompliance

LONDON, March 7.-The Pekin cor.

has demanded that China surrender to
her all sovereign rights over Port Ar.
thur and Ia Lien Wan for the same
period and on the same conditions a.

Besides this, Russia demands the right
to construct railway under the same
conditions as the Transmanchurian
railway. from Petuna to Kwang Chung
Tsu, Mukden and Port Arthur. Five
days are given for reply and the agree
ment must be singed within month.
In the event Of the Noncompliance
Russia threatens to move her troops
into Manchuria. China will, perforce,
yield. By this agreement Russia will
obtain the right to send soldiers into

ton Of the railway engineers.

GENERAL SICkLES' OPINION

Thinks Spain Has the Right to Demand
Lees Recall.
NEW YORK, March 2. General Dan
lei E. Siokles. who was minister OF the
United States to Spain from 1859 to
1874, during which period occurred the
strained relations between that country
and tho United States over the Vlr-
ginius affair, said that Spain's request
for the recall Of Consul General Lee
was a serious move and likely to lead to
serious results.
General Sickles continued: 1T is
Spain's right to ask for General Lees
recall. Spain would be justified in de-
manding the recall Of Consul General
Leo ON the ground that he is persona
non grata simply. President Mckinley
is at liberty to refuse to recall General
Lee and in that case Spain would be
perfectly justified in handing him his
passports on the single ground that he
is persona non grata."
