THE PEACE TREATY.
Those in Charge Have Nc Idea Of Allowing u
TO Be Defeated.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Davis. in
charge of the peace treaty. Saturday. told
delegation from the opposition that he
would not at present consent to vote
on the treaty. nor until he was satisfied
that it could be ratified.
This statement was made in response
to representa- tons by a delegation author
confer with Senator Davis. The senator
said that he did not accept the statement
that there were sufficient votes 10 prevent
ratification. He asked for a list or the
names OF the opposing senators and was
given the names of 36 senators who. 1t
was declared, would vote against ratifi-
cation.
Senator Davis was further told that the
defeat or postponement of the treaty
could be prevented by agreeing 10 an
amendment or even 10 Il resolution de-
claring it not to be the purpose Of the
United States to maintain permanent SOW
ercienty over the Philippine islands.
Senator Davis declined 70 accede TO TINS
proposition. saying that he would prefer
to have the treaty go over until another
session. When his attention was called
to the fact that an extra session OF the
entire Congress. and not of the Senate
alone. would be necessary in order TO APP
propriate the $50 900 600 made payable 10
Spain, he said this was not true, a the
terms of the treaty did not require the
payment Of the money until after an ex-
change of Publications.
The opponents of the treaty also state
that there will be no objection to the ex-
tension until June 30. $50. of the law
which allows the regular army to consist
of $3.50 men. This proposition. it is said,
will be placed upon the army approDria
ton bill as an amendment and relieve any
necessity for an extra session TO pass an

Once Wanted a lob.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. CA mem
Der of the Nicaraguan commission now

Civil Engineer LIE Baron. in which the
latter claims the discovery OF route
Cor the Nicaragua canal much shorter.
and which would cost $4,000 900 less.
than the route now under considera zion
by this government.
: The commissioner said that the COM
mission had carefully and thoroughly
investigated every feasible route. The
Menocai. or high level route and the
Lull. or low level, route, were found to
be decidedly the more practicable. At
ter minute and careful consideration
the commission, in the preliminary re-
port to the President. recommended
the Lull route as the most advantage
Gus. owing to lesser engineering diff
.u.ies to be surniounted. He said shat
had there been more suitable route
the commission would certainly have
known ii and recommended it.
AS to Mr.. lie Baron's statement that
he had offered to go to Washingto:;
and lay before the commission the
route Of which he had knowledge. the
commissioner said that no such offer
had ever been received from the Cleve-
lard engineer. Mr.. lie Baron. he said:
had written to the commission request
ing that he be engaged as an engineer
to accompany the commission to
Nicaragua. The commission. however.
did not engage him.
