There was no applause when the result
was announced but many senators heaved
a sigh of relief and rushed from the cham
Der to give the news to the waiting world.
Senator Ross read brief written speech
announcing his intention to supper. the
treaty as in the interest of peace.
Senator Money reiterated his opposition
and made a last plea for modification Of
the agreement. He asserted that if the
friends of the treaty had agreed TO a
modifying resolution the vote could have
been secured much sooner and that It
would have carried assurance of pacific
intentions on the part of this government
and it would have prevented the trouble
at Manila
Senator Teller interrupted and there
was quite Il lively exchange OF words. Mr..
Teller expressed his belief that opposition
to the treaty was responsible for the Ma
Mia trouble.
In advance Of the voting speeches were
made by Senators Ross, Money and Fair
banks. Senator Stewart, who had just
arrived from his successful campaign in
Nevada, for reelection, announced dur
ing this period of the session that in his
entire trip across the continent ne had
not encountered one man who was OPP
posed to the ratification OF the treaty.
Mr., Fairbanks spoke, his speech being
the first he had made since the debate be-
gan. He made an appeal for unanimity Of
action III order that the country might
present n harmonious front to the out
side world in dealing with this question.
Celebrating this view he said no partisan
political advantage could possibly be
claimed by any one in the ratification and
held out the view that solid support of
the administration would be of vast adj
vantage to the Americans in this crisis.
He referred to the opening of hostilities
at Manila and expressed the view that
the ratification of the treaty would do
much to prevent further boodshed and
restore quiet. With the treaty unratifed
the country would be in an anomalous po-
sition while with If favorably disposed of
the arms OF the government would be
strengthened by the assurance to the
world that the two branches of the treaty
making power of the country were united
in policy and purpose Let us he said,
'ratify the treaty and then settle our diff
| ferences concerning the question of eX-
panson afterwards. Those questions can
wait but the emergency Is too great for
any postponement whatever of the ratiti-
cation question.
Mr.. Fairbanks announced himself as
satisfied that the United States had "A per-

point of view.

ents of the treaty for the concilatory

Secretary Long said: 81 am glad the
ratification of the treaty has at last ar
rived. The very height of imperialism is
to have these islands now under the con-
troll of one man exercising absolute milf

treaty transfers the disposition of these
islands to the American people, who

them self-government or make any other

Washington, Feb 6-The treaty of peace
negotiated between tho commissioners of
the United States and Spain at Paris, was
to-day ratified by the United States Sen
ate, the voting being 81 ayes to u
nays, or one vote more than the two
thirds majority necessary to secure scna-
torial concurrence in a treaty document.
The vote was taken in executive session
and until the end of tho session and the
pledge of secrecy was removed, the re-
suit was supposed to be private, but the
NiCe-President had no more than an

cd out of every door leading from the
Senate chamber, declaring that the treaty
had been ratified. Some made the mis-
take of stating that there We're three
votes TO spare. There was in fact only
one vote more than was necessary.
No vote has been taken i'm the Senate
since that on the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman law that has
been followed with such close interest as
was the vote of to-day. The anxiety was
due not to the magnitude of the question
at issue. but to the uncertainty which at
tended the matter IN to the last moment.
Only the elect few knew how Senators
McEnery of Louisiana and oJnes of Neva-
da would vote half an hour before their
votes We're cast, and not even these knew

Catarrh of Stomach.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effec'
tual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incura BILE
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating. accompa MED
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
q formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs, and difficult breath
ing; headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
feeling.
There Is aften a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen 1t would show a
Shiny, infamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble Is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily and thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diatas,
Aseptic Pepsln, little Nux

all drug stores under tho name of Stuart's

SENATOR sPooNER's BELIEF.

Mr.. Spooner. Wisconsin, spoke in opposi-
ton to making promises to people who
have their guns pointed at our troops.
After discussing the condition which now
confronts the United States with respect
to the Philippines, Mr.. Spooner said:
Something has been said here about the
effuson of blood at Manila to the effect
that it was in defence of the Filipinos'
right of self government. No man can
successfully maintain that attitude. The
attack on our soldiers was as wanton will
full and gross a violation of laws as We
ever committed.
From information which l have now
and ! say this on my own responsibility
l believe it was a premeditated, precon-
certed and wanton attack made with the
idea of affecting the action of the Senat e
upon the peace treaty"
Mr.. Spooner then described how the at
tack was made showing that at = several
attempts tho tflipinoS di CIV the ire Of the
American sentries by attempting to run
their lines. "In that fro" he declared
those F'ilipinos got deservelly what they
received. 1t is my own belief that the in
stigation of the attack came from the city
of Washington. Hours before we learned
of the attack, in fact on Saturday night
Agoncillo, who has been here as IL repre-
sentative of the Filpinos and failed to re-
ceive any sort of recognition from this
government silently folded his tent. like
the Arab and stoleawa to Canada. Some
body may be able to explain it, but l
have not yet heard any explanation Of
fered for it, except that he knew that the
attack was to be made.
Il am not in favor OF complaining the
situation by making promises 10 the Fill
pinos. Nobody doubts that we will treat
them with all the justice that they may
deserve"

have caused the hostilities were made on
