The Senate Resumes Consideration
in Executive Session.
BerU's Resolution for Open Proceedings
Voted Down Without Roll Call.
Teller and Frye Speak in Favor Of
Ratification and Hoar In Oppo-
sition-Chairman Davis Declines
to Fix a Day for Final Vote
ON the Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Sen
ate resumed consideration of the peace
treaty in executive session to-day. The
Berry resolution for the consideration
of the treaty in open session was voted
down without roll-call
Probably the most significant occur
renee of the session was the banter
upon the question of a final vote upon
the treaty itself
Senators German and Vest, both OF
whom oppose ratification, urged the
Importance of getting vote at no very
distant day.
SeEator German, in brief but earn
est address, said that much had been
said by the friends of ratification as
to the necessity of disposing of the
subject without any great delay. He
agreed with them on that point, and If
they were in earnest he felt that a
vote might be reached within ten days.
Senator Vest joined in Germans ap-
peal, and urged Davis to name day
and an hour when the vote could be
taken.
Let US vote now,' said Senator Aid
rich, who had just entered the cham
Der after a visit to his home in Rhode
in fifteen minutes
Senator Davis replied, however, that
question of fixing a day for the vote
had not been considered by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, and that
he would not feel justified in assuming
such a responsibility upon his own au-
thority until supported by the action of
his committee. He promised to bring
tt1 1,a ffor 10 I,o f,f l.
mittee at its next session.
The principal speeches of the general
debate were made for the treaty by
Senators Teller and Frye, and by Sen
ator Hoar in opposition.
Senator Frye's remarks were a sharp
criticism of the opposing Senators. and
| it was SO pointed that it brought Sen
ator Hoar to his feet for a somewhat
acrimonious reply. Frye dwelt at some
length upon the conditions under which
the treaty had been formulated, and
also referred to the situation in the
Philippines, intimating that the oppo-
sition to ratification was the principal
source of encouragement to the Fill
pinos in their present attitude toward
| the United States.
Hoar defended the course of the op-
position.
| Teller replied to Hoar, saying the op-
position were responsible for the con-
| tinuation of the state of war; and
pointing out various probable results
in the way of loss of prestige and
power in case the United States should
| fail to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity which it afforded to assert her
rightful place as one of the nations OF
the world, of commanding and para
mount influence.

GENERAL LEE ARRIVES.
He Asserts That Cubans Are Satisfied
With American Rule.


With American Rule.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Governor of the
provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio,
Cuba arrived here last night at o'clock
from New York He went Immediately to
the Shoreham Hotel, and at once retired.
His health appears to be much better than
it was when he was last in Washington.
The face is bronzed by the sun, the eye
is clear, and the gait is quick and elastic.
He was adverse to discussing the situa-
tion in Cuba He stated, however, that
military control would be gradually sup
planted by civil government, as the people
are capable of ruling themselves. To bring
about many conditions that the inhabitants
desire, he said, is difficult Many promi-
nent Cubans want the United States to an
mex the island, while others of the same
social class are strenuously opposed to it.
The latter, he said are greatly in the
minority, and their political opinion does
not sway the common people as much as
is believed in this country.
The natives are becoming contented
and happy" he said and they have faith
in the promises of the United States The
condition of the island has wonderfully
improved, large crops OF tobacco and sugar
being under cultivation, which indicates
a speedy return to former prosperity The
reports that the people will rebel If the
American troops are not withdrawn on
January l is absurd and the statements
that the relations between the military
and civil officials are not amicabe are also
false
General Lee will probably return to Cuba
on December l.

POOR STREET SWEEPING.
The Commissioners Hear Complaint,
From Eleventh Street.

The Commissioners received a letter from
Dr.. H. \. Dobson some time ago in which
the writer complained of the poor street
sweeping which has been done recently in
the vicinity of mis- home, 100 Eleventh
Street northeast. The furniture and car
pets of the houses in this locality Dr..
Dobson states, are covered with dust that
is flying in the street all day Superin-
tendent Stutler, Of the Street Cleaning De-
partment, states that his department can
not sweep the street in question until he is
furnished with the measurements from the
Engineer Department with directions for
the sweeping.
Computing Engineer Hunt suggested that
it would be proper 10 sprinkle the street
even II II could not be swept. This rec
ommendation has been approved by the

dent of the Columbian University Debating
