SAMOAN TREATY RATIFIED.
Democratic Senators Oppose 1t, Be-
cause the United states Ac-
uuires TERRITORY.

E WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate to-
day ratified the Samoan treaty without
division. The ratification occurred in the
executive session, after two hours of de-
bate, which was participated In by a num-
Der of senators. Messrs. Davis, Foraker
and Spooner advocated and Senators Ba-
con, Money and Tillman opposed ratifica-
ton. Senator Bacon made the leading
speech In opposition. He based his OBJ
lection upon the general ground that it
was contrary to the spirit of our fnsti-
tutions to attempt to govern any people
in opposition to their wishes
Bacon said the friends of the treaty
supported 1t upon two grounds. that 1t
simply divided authority heretofore exer-
cised Jointly. and that the Samoan people
being "only sayages," there is no reason
why they should not be despoiled of their
country. He commended that it was not
true that the old arrangement was simply
thority, and asserted that the declaration
that the Samoan people We're savages was
untenable.
In conclusion Bacon said he was will
ing that the United States should acquire
the island of Tutui'e with ito paec- pa"o
harbor, if that could be done In the proper
manner and without violating all of our
principles in securing control of it.
Senators Money and 'rillman spoke on
practically the same line.
The friends of the treaty repudiated the
assertion that the old treaty provisions
were annulled. They claimed that this
country, by the new arrangement, retains
all the old advantages and avoids the
complications liable to grow out of the
the opportunity should not be lost both
to get out of an awkward predicament
and to control in our own right the har-
Dor of Pago-Pago.
