by a good length. Triaditz, the feather
weight of the lot, got off in front and
opened up a gap dn the first few strides
and showed the way into the stretch, but
had not enough left to stall off Mizpah's
rush at the end

held two executive sessions Wednes-
day, and at each the peace treaty was
the subject under discussion. AT the
first an agreement was reached to vote
on the treaty next Monday week, and
ct the second Senator Davis presented
the American commissioners reasons
for the acceptance OF the treaty in the
form In which IL was finally concluded.
The agreement for a vote was reached
OF an executive session held soon after
converting at noon. this agreement be-
ing in the following language:
That the senate agrees to vote on the
treaty with Spain and all amendments on
Monday. the 9Th OF February al three
o'clock p. m, and that until that time

result of Wednesdays meeting of the
scEate committee on foreign relations.

cept the proposition was unanimous,
