A Most ImportsHt Vote.
n
since tina, of the repeal OF the purchas-
ing clause OF the Sherman law that has
been followed with as close interest ne
was the vote of yesterday. This unx-
icty was due not only 10 the magni-
tudc Of the question nj issue, but IN
the uncertainty which attended the
matter up to the last moment. Only
the elect few knew how Senators Nc
Emery. of Louisiana, and Jones, Of
Nevada. would vote half an hour bc.
fore their votes were cast, and not even
those knew when the bell rang for the
executive session at quarter past two
o'clock
Many oi the vast throng which was
turned from the galleries after the
doors were closed In response to Sen
ator Davis motion, fingered IN the cor.
ridors. all waiting eagerly for the first
news from inside, II was generally
understood that the first - minutes
was to bc given to speechmHking. but
the crowd apparently prepared Tor

Intense Interest shown by SenstarG
Within the chamber the interest was
even more intense. Very few senators
left the chamber except those engaged

who have their especial attention 90
securing the necessary votes TO insure
ratification, were doubtful of the re-.
suit when the secret session began,
while Senators German and Jones, the
leaders Of the opposition, considered
their forces intact. Half an hour nf.
terwards II was whispered about that
Senator McEncry had been won over
on condition that his deelaratory reso-
luton should be adopted subsequent to
the passage of the ratification resolu-
tion. When this news was confirmed
II vas known that ratification was ns-
snrrd. for Senator McI.aurin had al.
ready announced his intention Of vot-
ing for the treaty In View of the CON
ditiou Of affairs nj Manila. Senator
Jones went over nt the last moment,
making the one vote more than was
necessary.
No Applause 0ressed the Anssunss msni
OF the Resuii.
There was no applause when the re-
suit was announced. but many scna.
tors heavcd n sigh Of relief. and rushed
from the chamber to give the news to
the waiting world.
Speeches Tor asd AEa.as= Ratification.
In advance of the voting speeches
were made by Senators Ross, Money and
Fairbanks. Senator Stewart. who had
Just arrived from his successful cam
paign in Nevada for reelection an
nounced informally during this period
of the session that In his entire trip
across the continent he had encOun-
tered one man who was opposed to
the ratification of the treaty.
Senator Ross read a brief written
speech announcing his intention 10
support the treaty as In the interest Of
peace. He entered somewhat into the
legal questions involved, saying that
he saw nn obstacle In the way Of rati-
firation from that source.
Senator Money reiterated his oppo-
sision 90 the treaty and made last
