peace negotiated between the commits
sioners of the United States and Spain
at Paris was on Monday ratified by the
United States senate, the vote being 81
ayes to ~ nays, or one vote more than
the two-thirds majority necessary to Sc
cure senatorial concurrence in treaty
document. The vote was taken in eX-
ecutive session, and until the injunc-
ton of secrecy was removed the result
was supposed to be private; but the vice
president had no more than announced
the figures before senators rushed out
of every door leading from the senate
chamber, declaring that the treaty had
been ratified. Some made the mistake
of stating that there were three votes
to spare. There was in fact only one
vote more than was necessary-the bal
loting resulting 81 ayes to 81 nays.
In advance of the voting speeches
were made by Senators Ross, Money
