Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1899-01-26

Washington, Jan. 25,--Ihe senate re-
sumed consideration Of the peace
treaty in executive session. The Berry
resolution for consideration of the
treaty in open session was voted down
and there was more or less talk Of
taking vote. though on this point no
definite decision was reached. The
session opened with strong appeal by
Mr.. Berry to open the doors and allow
the world to listen 10 the debate on the
subject He said Re desired an OPP
poftunlty to reply to some of the
speeches which have been made in
open session. The motion to open the
doors was defeated by a large vote.
Probably the most significant occur
renee was the banter upon the question
of final vote upon the treaty itself
Messrs. German and Vest, both OF
whom oppose the ratification, urged
tue Importance OF getting vote at no
very distant day. Mr. Vest urged Mr.
Davis to name day when vote could
be taken. We wall agree to any date
that suits you, he said. IF you have
the votes you can ratify your treaty;
IL not it will be defeated. The question
will be disposed Of, and the senate can
proceed with other business" Mr..
Davis replied, however. that the ques-
ton OF fixing a day for a vote had not
been considered by the committee on
foreign relations and that he would
not feel justified in assuming such re-
sponsibility upon his own
authority, unsupported by the
action of the committee. He
promised to bring the matter to the
attention Of the committee at the next
session. The principal speeches OF the
general debate we're made for the
treaty by Messrs Teller and Frye and
by Mr.. Hoar In opposition. Nr. Frge's
remarks were a sharp criticism OF thu
opposing senator's" and ii was 20

Necessary to choice

Madison, Jan. %.
The above was the result of the last
or 47th ballot in the big senatorial
fight, Il ballots having been taken
Tuesday. At o'clock this afternoon
the contest will be resumed, the two
houses meeting in joint open session
at noon, however, TO formally vote for
a senator. The only change Tuesday
was that of Assemblyman Anderson Of
Dane county who returned TO the
Qaarles fold after voting 10 times for
Cook. There is no indication that the
deadlock will be broken until the mem
less routine. Rumors OF dark horses
and probable combinations need also
not be taken seriously for the present,
as Long Jones says, you can hear
everything but your prayers now.
The members have settled down TO a
waiting game.
The latest development in the stu
alton is the appearance on the scene Of
Judge Charles NJ. Webb of Grand
Rapids who arrived Tuesday. He will
return home today. He is a man OF
commanding appearance and one 70 in
spire the greatest confidence in him.
Ii is not TO be wondered at that his
supporters are SO loyal to him. he is
making many friends here at least, ii
profess to believe that his election l.
the only logical outcome OF the dead
lock. He is the local man for the
place they say and think his chances ..

candidacy has caused the least leeI4A2.
