ANOTHER EFFORT
TO SECURE VOTE
An AnH-EXpanSiOn Resolution Proved
UnaYallinS.
MORGAN SPEAKS FOR TREATY
BE Warns Democratic Senators Against
Opposing Its Ratification.
BELIEVES OUR COMMISSIONER S
Had Acted Wisely and in the Best In
terests of the Whole Country and
Their Work Should Not
Be Undone.

Washington, February 4.-Another effort
was made in executive session of the sem
ate today to secure unanimous consent to
vote on the resolutions interpretatiye of the
peace treaty and it was refused by the
opponents of the treaty.
The request was preferred by Senator
Sullivan, of Mississippi who expressed a
desire to have vote on the resolution Of
ferer by himself
Senator Jones made objection.
There was another effort to secure gen.
eral consent to an earlier meeting Monday
but this also was refused, Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, acting as spokesman for the
opposition. Senator Lodge was in charge
of the fortunes of the treaty today in the
absence of Senator Davis. He suggested a
meeting on Monday at II o'clock, but con-
sent was refused as was also consent to a
recess until IL o'clock Monday or to an
order dispensing with the routine business
on that day.
Resulted in Adjournment
The result was adjournment until IL
o'clock Monday. without any conditions.
The fact developed during this fencing for
time that several senators wished still to
be heard in explanation of their attitudes.
Among those who have announced their in
tenton to ask to be heard is Senator AL
len, of Nebraska who 1t was stated would
denounce the opposition to the treaty in
democratic ranks as a conspiracy against
Mr.. Bryan.
For the rest, Senator Morgan occupied the
attention of the senate in forcible argument
in support of the treaty. He declared his
conviction that the treaty should be rat
flied without amendment or modifying dec
laration. He believed the American COM
missioners to the Paris conference had
acted very wisely and in the best interests
of the whole country and he for one was
willing to accept their work just as they
had given It to us.
willing to Trust Mckinley
He was also perfectly willing to trust the
president to take care of the Philippine
question In tho way most satisfactory to
our own people and in the best interest of
the Filipinos.
He warned the democratic senators
against taking a position against the treaty,
asserting that If they succeeded in defeating
1t they would wreck the democratic party.
Senator Morgan commended that there was
no constitutional impediments in the way
of acquiring the Philippines They could
be acquired under international law and the
constitution gave full scope to legislation
giving effect to law for the control of the
internal affairs.

keep the organization alive. At the con-

commander of that fact at once, to the end

ment.
