WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The treaty
of peace negotiated between the COM
missioners of the United States and
Spain at Paris was today ratified by
the United States senate, the vote being
81 ayes to q nays, or one vote more
than two-thirds majority necessary to
secure senatorial concurrence in trea-
ty document. The vote was taken in
executive session, and until the in
junction OF secrecy was removed the
result was supposed to be private, but
the vice president had no more than
announced the figures than 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 nee
essary, the balloting resulting 81 ayes
to q nays.
No vote has been taken in the SEN
ate since that on the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law
that has been followed with as close
interest as was the vote of today
This anxiety was due not only to the
magnitude of the question at ISSUE
but TO the uncertainty which attended
the matter up to the last moment
Within the chamber the interest was
intense. Very few senators left the
chamber except those enga ged in the
cloak room, in trying, on the one SIDE
to gain votes for the treaty, and on the
other to prevent a break in the ranks
Senators Aldrich, Lodge and Elkins
who had given their especial attention
to securing the necessary votes to en-
sure ratification, were doubtful of the
result when the secret session began.
while Senators German and Jones' lead
ers of the opposition, considered their
forces intact. Soon it was whispered
about that Senator McEnery had been
Won over, on condition that his decla-
ration resolution should be adopted
Subsequent to the passage of the trea-
ty. When this news was confirmed it
was known the ratification was assur
ed. for Senator MeLaurin had already
announced his intention to vote for the
treaty in view of the condition of af-
fairs at Manila. Senator Jones went
over at the last moment, making the
vote one more than was necessary.
CLOSlNG SPEECH Els,
In advance of the voting speeches
were made by Senators Ross, Money
and Fairbanks.
Senator Stewart, who had just ar
rived from his successful campaign In
Nevada for reelection, announced, in
formally during this period of the ses-
sion, that in his entire trip across the
continent he had not encountered one
man who was opposed to the ratifca-
ton of the treaty.
Senator Ross read a brief written
speech announcing his intention to
support the treaty as in the interest of
peace He entered somewhat into the
legal questions involved, saying that
he saw no obstacle in the way of ratifi-
cation from that source.
Senator Money reiterated his opposi-
tion, and made plea for modif1ca-
tfon of the agreement
Mr.. Teller announced his belief that
the opposition to the treaty was re-
srensible for the Manila battle. and Mr..

diers at Manila besieged the war de-
partment today by telegram and word
of mouth for information from the
scene of battle in the Philippines. The
list was long in coming, explained by
the cutting of the telegraph wires
along the American front, which pre-
vented earlier reports from the division
commanders. In the meantime came a
short cablegram from Admiral Dewey
which caused some temporary commo-
ton by creating the impression that
hostilities had been renewed by the
insurgents. Up to the close of Office
hours, however, nothing had come
from Gen. Otis to coRffrm this infor-
nation, and such cablegrams as did
come from him. touched upon other
matters entirely, SO it was assumed
there was no founda ton, in fact, for
the apprehension.
When Gen. Otis casualty lists began
to come over the cable they were some
what confusing, probably due to the
fact that there are nineteen different
lines between Manila akld Washington.
The immediate effect was to cause
some errors to be made in the reported
list of killed After great difficulty, the
officers of the war department arrang-
ed the previous casualty lists into the
following single list, which is believed
to be substantially correct, and was
made as an official substitute list for
the prior lists:

EFFECT OF TREATY.
AS to the change in condition brought
by the ratification of the treaty today
there is a variance of views, and Adjt
Gen. Corbin and Second Assistant Sec
retary Adee, of the state department,
were giving the matter attention today
with the idea of being able to send full
instructions for his future guidance to
Gen. Otis Immediately
The extreme view on one side is that
until the Spanish government ratif1es
the treaty it is not of legal effect. Ac-
cording to that view, therefore, the
United States government is estopped
from proceeding beyond their lines at
Manila for The time. BY the other ex-
treme view the United States govern
ment is free to do just as it pleases in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-After the
ratification of the treaty the senate in
open session took up the joint resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. McEnery, declar-
ing a policy for the Philippines, and an
effort was made to adopt it. but the

resolution went over until tomorrow.

ton was that Mr.. Allen today would

the entire group of islands, and will,
therefore, proceed at once to complete
the military occupation of the islands.
Perhaps there is justification for this
last view, in the fact that the Filipinos
We're Spanish subjects, nominally, when
they broke the terms of the protocol,
and thereby released the United States
from its observance. The medium view
and that which is likely to be followed,
is that Gen. Otis is justified in doing
anything that is necessary to protect

seeking to reorganize and recoup from
their late defeat, with an intention of
attacking again or even threatening
the Americans
NO NEW ORDERS.
Secretary Long this evening said that
no additional orders had been sent to
Admiral Dewey, and he did not antici-
pate that any would be necessary lust
now. He had been acting on the theory
that the president desired to follow the
most liberal policy in dealing with the
Filipinos, and there was no reason now
to change that policy
STORES TO DEWEY.
The Solace started from Norfolk at 8
o'clock this afternoon with a supply of
ammunition and other needed stores
for Dewey's fleet, via the Suez canal
but it is not the intention to send fur
ther naval reinforcements
1t was learned upon inquiry at the
war department that all the American
troops at Manila have an abundant
supply of smokeless powder The reg
ulars have the Krag- -Jorgenson rifle
and about 5000 of the same weapons
are in the hands of the volunteers.
AFTER AGONCILLO.
1t is no secret now that the authori-
ties here we're preparing to arrest
Agoncillo just as he fed, but prob
ably they are not sorry that he got off
safely, and thus relieved them from
the performance of disagreeable task.
The conduct of the remaining members
of the Philippine junta is still under
close watch, and while the treatment
to be accorded them has not been de-
termined, 1t is recognized that they are
in a precarious position legally, and
can secure no immunity only by the
exercise of the greatest discretion.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The news of the ratification of the
treaty reached the White house almost
Immediately after the announcement
of the vote. Postmaster General Emory
Smith was with the president at the
time and was the first to congratulate
him. Naturally the president was graft
fed with the vote and so expressed
himself. Secretary Gage came in soon
afterwards and was followed almost
Immediately by Secretary Alger and
Secretary Hay. Within forty minutes
after its ratification, Gen. Cox, secre-
tary of the senate, appeared with the
treaty itself. which was promptly de-
livered into the presidents hands, and
then retired. The cabinet members as
they left the White house, spoke of
the action as great victory. Secre-
tary Hay expressed his qualification
that the treaty was ratified and only
regretted that it had been found neces-
sary to occupy so much valuable time
in doing it.. He said the treaty would
now be submitted to the Spanish cortes
at the session which opened this month
and he anticipated no obstacles to the
final exchanges. Secretary Long said:
IT am glad the treaty is ratified; glad
from the standpoint of an anti-tmper-
ialist. as well as from any other. The
very height of Imperialism is to have
these islands now under the control of
one man exercising absolute military
authority. The ratification of the treaty
transfers the disposition of these ISL
ands to the American people who,
throughout their representatives, can
themselves govern or make any other
disposition of them. that our own prin-.
eiples of government and ideas of ma
tional welfare require"
Secretary Alger thought that the con-
firmation of the victory at Manila. to-
gether with the ratification of the
peace treaty, was sufficient to make
the day memorable. He spoke of the
perils of the position which the Amer
lean troops have been occupying for
so many months. while the fate of the
treaty was at issue, and said he was
only too pleased now that these troops
were free to protect themselves

THINK THIS OVER.
Rational Remedy for, n National
Trouble,

To say that hemorrhoids or the disease
commonly known as piles is a national dis
ease may be slightly overdrawn, but it is
quite certain that at least one in every
four persons is so afflicted.
Because 1t Is common aud not imme-
diately fatal many suffer for years without
giving the trouble anyi medical attention
Moreover the rather general impression
has much to do with delaying attention un-
til the disease becomes deep-seated and
chronic. Ar
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than
il causes no detention from business. and
the cost is trifiing. All druggists sell it
at 80 cents per package.
The astrngent effects of the acids in the
Pyramid Pile Cure speedily contracts and
restores TO their natural condition the
blood vessels of the affected parts, and as
il quickly dissolves in the rectum, the
remedy soothes and heals the irritated
surfaces, and these twosthings are the only
necessary requirements for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liabilities TO chronic liberation of the Iec
tai tissue, and nervous exhaustion from
loss of sleep and attendant pain and irri-
tation. All these symptoms the pyramid
quickly relieves, and the fact that II is
the most popular and widely sold OF any
pile cure Is quite conclusive evidence OF
thorough merit. II you suffer from bleed
ing, itching, or protrudtng piles try 80
