APPLICATION REFUSED.



San Francisco, Jan. Sin the United
States circuit court this morning,
Judges Morrow and De Haven rem
dered their decision in the Durrant
case submitted to them In banc yester-
day. They denied the application for
writ of habeas corpus and also re-
fused. to grant Durrant's attorneys
leave to appeal from this decision.
Senator Davis announcement was
preceded by some active work on the
part OF the friends of the treaty prior
to the opening of the Senate and also on
the floor after the Senate convened
They do not feel absolutely sure of
securing the sixty votes necessary to
ratify the treaty but are today hope
full of getting that number 1t was
positively announced that the Repub-
lican side of the chamber would bc a
unit in the vote, Senators Morrill,. Hoar
and the two or three Republican sem
ators. who We're classed as doubtful
prior to the holiday recess, now being
considered as committed to the treaty.
The supporters of the agreement also
expect to have the aid of the silver Re-
publicans, with the exception of Senator
Pettigrew. The Populists will be d-
vided and majority of the Demo-
Gratis against ratification. The Demo-
clats, however, nave given up any ldea
they may have had of making the an
nexation question party Issue, and
II is believed that this action will have
the effect of increasing the affirmative
vote on that side of the chamber.
There is no doubt that the situation
In China is largely responsible for the
improved prospect of the treaty, as
many senators hold the opinion that
for the United States to hesitate In
this matter at the present critical
time would be to manifest n serious
weakness. The advocates of the treaty
announce their intention TO make few
speeches, but they expect stubborn
resistance from Senators White, Petit
grew, gray and others.

Does Not Desire congress to Honor
Him With an Invitation.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-There has been
talk among members of both houses of a
resolution of welcome to President Dole,
and an invitation to visit Congress in ses-
sion, as was done when King Kalakaua
was here. This was generally assented
to in conversation by members on both
sides as an act of personal courtesy to a
president of a republic.
Mr. Hatch quietly signified to them that
Mr. Dole, while appreciating every sug>
gestion of courtesy, would prefer that it
be omitted.
When Dom Pedro the Emperor of Bra
zil, was here ne made similar sugges>
tion when similar courtesy was pro-
posed.
President Dole. ever since his arrival in
this country, has shrunk from all dis
plays. From Chicago he telegraphed the
state department requesting that the pro-
posed military escort which was to meet
him at Washington be dispensed with, and
in San Francisco, when Gen. Shafter,
commander of the military division pro-
posed to give him a military escort from
the hotel to the station on his departure
for the East, he urgently asked that all
such form and ceremony be abandoned.

RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN.
Proposed Treaty to Include Cuba
and Porto Rico.

and Porto Rico.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-Respecting the
negotiations of reciprocity treaties be-
tween the United States on one side and
Spain and Cuba, and perhaps Porto Rico
on the other. it is officially admitted al
the state department. that such negotia-
tions are under way. They have not pro-
gressed very far, however, for the reason
that an expert commission is required to
zeal with the lntrlcaeies of the tariff
schedules which are especially complex
in the case of the Spanish tariff, with its
three sets of schedules, each playing a
particular part. The heretofore stated
basis for the treaties will be found in the
reciprocity treaties with Spain, Cuba and
Porto Rico drawn under the Mckinley act
and nUllifed by the Wilson act. though
changed business conditions will be taken
into account In making the new agree
ments.
The negotiations were entered into at the
instance of our government, Minister
Woodford inviting the Spanish government
to enter into such negotiation, in that re-
speet carrying out instructions that we're
sent to every United States representa-
tive abroad. The Cuban tobacco. which
has for so long been held in Havana. is
