WRANGLING OYER
TREATY OF PARIS.
It's Friends Decline to Ac
cept an Amendment.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Senator
Davis in charge of the peace treaty
to day told delegation from the
opposition he would not at present
consent to vote upon the treaty,
nor until he was satisfied that the
treaty could be ratified He made
this statement in response to repre-
sentations made to him by delega-
tion authorized by the leaders of the
opposition to confer with him, declar.
ing in the first place that he did not
accept the statement that there were
sufficient votes to prevent ratification.
BE asked for list of the names of
opposing senators and was given the
names of 36 senators who, it was de
clared, would vote against ratifca-
ton.
Senator Davis was further told that
the defeat or postponement of the
treaty could be prevented by agree
ing to an amendment or even to a
resolution declaring it to be not the
! purpose of the United States to main
tain permanent sovereignty in the
Philippine islands Senator Davis
declined to accede to this proposition
saying that he would prefer to have
the treaty go over until another ses.
sion. When his attention was called
to the fact that an extra session Of the
entire congress as we'll as of the sen-
ate would be necessary in order to
appropriate the $20,000,000 made
payable to Spain, he said this was
not true, as the terms of the treaty
did not require the payment of the
money until after an exchange OF
ratification
When Senator Davis was asked as
to the truth of the foregoing ne de-
clined either to deny or confirm it.
The opponents of the treaty also
state that there will be no objection
to the extension of the law until
June 80, 1900, which allews the reg.
ular army to consist of $4,000 men
This proposition, it is said, will be
placed upon the army appropriation
bill as an amendment and relieves
any necessity for an extra session tc
pass an army bill.

The General Assembly.
Brief Review of the Session
Up to Date.

The second week Of the legislative
session has closed with little to its
credit in the matter of accomplish
ment. A large part of the time dur
ing the first week was taken up with
organization and the second week
was sadly interrupted by the inau.
guration and holiday, and the third
week will be likewise broken by the
elections on Tuesday.
The only matter of general interest
that has passed through the legis'a-
tive mill has been the resolution
extending the time for the payment
of taxes.
There are several bills in prepara-
tion looking to a change in liquor
legislation as we'll as measures which
it is hoped will benefit the States
treasury. either by bringing into tax
alton property that has avoided it OF
by reforming the methods of collec.
tion, 30 that a greater net amount may
be realized A matter that excites
no little interest is the privilege tax,
which haa been Clemson's main sup
port, and which, by the recent decis-
ion in North Carolina, has been
declared unconstitutional.
In the bill that passed the house
requiring cotton buyers to take light
bales without discrimination in the
matter of price as compared with
heavy ones, the element that ie
anxious to pose before the fsrme. as
energetic workers in his behalf think
they have taken a decided step to
wards breaking down the arbitrary
rules Of foreign exchanges that com
