consul, Rose, and of the president Of

the result of instructions from the

these acts were violative of the treaty

approval of the German government.

the opinion that it will certainly yield

Congress
Washington, January 21.-Senator
Davis, in charge of The peace treaty, to-
day told delegation from the opposi-
ton that he would not at present con-
sent to a vote upon the treaty, nor un>
til he was satisfied that the treaty
could be ratified. He made this state
ment in response TO representations
made TO him by delegation authorised
by the leaders of the opposition to con-
fer with him, declaring, in the first
place. that he did not accept the state
ment that there were sufficient votes
to prevent ratification. He asked for
list Of the names OF opposing senator's
and was given the names OF thirty-six
senator's, who. it was declared, would
vote against ratification.
Senator Davis was further told that
the defeat or postponement or the
treaty could be- prevented by agreeing
TO an amendment or even TO a resolu-
tion declaring ii to be not the purpose
of the United States 10 maintain per-
manent sovereignty in the Philippine
islands. Senator Davis declined to ac-
cede TO this proposition, saying that he
would prefer 10 have the treaty go over
until another session. When his atten-
tion was called TO the fact an extra
session of the entire congress as-well
as of rs senate would be necessary in
order TO appropriate the $4,000, 900
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 force OF the forego-
ing he declined either to deny or con-
firm 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 allows the regular army to
consist of $4,000 men. This PROPOSE
tion, it is said, will be placed upon the
army appropriation bill as an amend
ment and relieve any necessity for an
extra session to pass an army bill.
