MAY WAIT UNTIL MARCH.
The President May Not submit Peace
Treaty Until New Republican Bena-
t0ra Are sworn In.

Washington. Dec. 5.-The admins
tration is turning its attention from
Paris to capitol hill. There is no lon
ger any question about the negotia.
ton Of the treaty Of peace. The only
question is as to whether that treaty
will be ratified in Washington and
Madrid. The Spanish commissioners
are ready to sign the treaty oy instruc.
ton from Madrid, and that is evidence
that the Madrid government will
ratify the treaty. With congress
ready to begin the short session on
Monday and the treaty certain to be
signed before Christmas, the admin
istration is considering whether to
submit it to the senate for ratification
at once or to wait until after March 4
and then call an extra session Of the
senate, which will have q clear repub-
lican majority Of almost two-thirds
The danger of defeating the treaty is
not so great as is the danger OF having
few anti.expansionists monopolize
the session with long speeches in the
executive sittings, to delay all other
business before the senate.

DEWEY'S GREAT HUMANITY.
Hero Of Manila Writes q MOst Pathetic
Letter to ths Widow 0f a Penn
syivania soldier.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec 5.-The widow
Of Jesse Moss, the member Of the
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment who
was killed in the battle OF Malate
July 81, received letter from Admiral
Dewey yesterday. A daughter was
born to Mr. and Mrs Moss while the
father was in Manila She was named
for Admiral Dewey. The child died
in August. In his letter Admiral
Dewey says:
wish to express to you my deepest SYM
pathy 1t must lessen your sorrow somewhat
10 know that your young husband fell lighting
bravely for his country. the noblest death
man can know From the Olympia watched
the fight that fearful night and wondered how
many American homes would be saddened by
the maftyrdom suffered by our brave men, and
my sympathy went out to each and every one
Of them
Your loss has been sadder than the others,
and am unable to express the sorrow l feel
for you Tears came to my eyes as read the
cad story Of the father who never saw his child
and then the loss Of all that was left to the
brave mother 1t is hard sometimes to believe,
but our Heavenly Father In His infinite good
ness always does things for the best and some
day father mother and daughter will DO Joined,
never apain to be parted.
