NOT READY TO VOTE on TREATY.
Mr., Davis Disregarded the Bantering
of the Opposition.

The Senate resumed consideration of the
peace treaty in executive session NeSter-
day The Berry resolution for the consid-
Grafton of the treaty in open session was
voted down and there was more or less
talk of taking a vote, though on this point
no definite conclusion was reached
Probably the most significant occurrence
of the session was the banter upon the
question of a final vote upon the treaty It.
self Senators German and Vest, both OF
whom oppose ratification, urged the impor-
tance of getting vote at no very distant
day. Senator Vest urged Mr.. Davis to
name a day and an hour when the vote
could he taken.
We want it understood distinctly he
said, that We are not holding the treaty
up at all. Name the day. We Will agree
to any date that will suit you. If you have
the votes you can ratify our treaty; IL not
it will be defeated. The question VIII be
disposed of, and the Senate can proceed
with other business"
Let US vote now, responded Senator
Aldrich, who had just entered the cham
Der after visit to his home in Rhode Is
land. We ought to be ready to vote in
fifteen minutes.
Senator Davis replied that the question of
fixing day for a vote had not been con-
sidered by the committee on foreign rela-
tons and that he would not feel justified
in assuming such a responsibility. lie
promised to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the committee at its next session.
The principa, speeches of the general de-
bate We're made for the treaty by Senators
Teller and Frye and by Senator Hoar in
opposition. Senator Fryes remarks were
a sharp criticism of the opposing senators
and it was so pointed that il brought SEN
ator Huar to his feet for a somewhat acri-
monious reply. Mr.. Hoar defended the
course of the opposition. Disagreeabie as
it was, he said. to arouse the i'll will of his
brother senators. that condition was prefer
able to punging the country into a posi-
ton that might be of untold consequence
TO the whole nation.

Edwards Is the Young Man Accused
of Having Taken Money From the
Proprietor of the Anaconda
Steam Laundry.
WILL BE BROUGHT HERE

4 Sheriff Jack Conley took his office yes
terday morning and within an hour he
N had made an important capture of an
alleged criminal. Some time early i'll the
fall w. Fl. Edgecombe. proprietor of the
Anaconda steam laundry, caused to be
filed in justice court a complaint
n against James E. Edwards, a former
employee of the laundry, charging him
with ENLIGHTENMENT. Edgecombe claimed
4 that Edwards who was a driver, was
short in his accounts to the amount of
sS174 1t was alleged that Edwards col
/, lected bills from the patrons of the
Il laundry, gave a receipt for the money,
L but failed to turn it in. Edgecnmhe did
Z not know Of Edwards populations until
he began to send out statements to the
persons whom his books showed were
indebted to the establishment. When
Edgecombe's collector presented these
H bills he was met with the receipt given
by Edwards,
Il Edwards left the city before the war
rant could be served upon him, and for
vi long time no one knew where he had
Y gone. It was learned by Sheriff Conley
aafter time that Edwards was in Brit
sish Columbia Not being able to reach
shim there, Mr.. Conley patiently waited
L until he returned to the United States.
II Conley .shrewdly guessed that Edwards
would go to Great Falls. where he has
/ a brother-in-law. Mr.. Conley informed
Chief of Police Guerin of Great Falls
;4of the oircumst ances and requested him
Y to keep lookout for Edwards.
Yesterday Mr. Guerin notified the
shnriff's Office that Edwards had been
arrested al Great Falls and was being
held in custody there awaiting the ar
\ rival of an officer from this county.
Upon receipt of the information Mr..
sConfey detailed Deputy Sheriff DAILY to
go to Great Falls for Edwards. DAILY
left yesterday and will probably return
with his prisoner to-day.

IT WILL Be A BUSY DAY
Public Officials Will Transact
Slathers of Public Business.
THREE BODIES WILL MEET
Board OF County Commissioners, City
Council and Board of School
Trustees Will All Have
Meetings To-Day.

To-day will be mighty busy day
for public officers. After a holiday Va
cation of week or more in which there
were four actual holidays, the men who
run the public's affairs in the county,
city and school departments will go at
it with renewed energy to-day.
The board of county commissioners
will meet to-day and will have a busy
session, which will probably extend over
two days. The board will to-day pass
upon the sufficiency of the bonds of
the new county officers who took Office
yesterday, and will fix the number of
deputies each official is entitled to and
their compensation. The commissioners
will also examine into the reports of
the county officers and pass upon them.
There may be some matters requiring
attention relating to the new court
house and Jail, and probably some
matters left over from the December
meeting which require attention.
Tonight there will be meeting of
the city council. The meeting is the
regular monthly meeting. A special
order Of business for the meeting to-
night Will be the fxlng or the special
tax levy for certain sewer districts.
This was made a special order for
meeting held a couple of weeks ago,
but owing to the failure of a sufficient
number of aldermen being present to
constitute a quorum. the matter was
laid over until to-night's meeting, and
it will take precedence over all other
matters. The reason for making the
tax levy a special order of business is
so that people owning property abut-
ting the sewer districts may pay their
taxes at once, without the addition of
interest which is accruing upon the
warrants. The council will also have
it's usual number of monthly reports
from city officers, and the usual month
ly bills will also require the aldermen's
attention. .'..
The council met last evening, but adj
journed until tonight
The board of school trustees is also
called to meet tonight in regular ses-
sion. The meeting was to have been
held last Tuesday, but owing to the
busy holiday season a postponement
was taken until Tonight.
