NO VOTING DAY NAMED.
Opposition to Proposition as to Treaty,
Foraker Amendments Adopted
by senate Committee.

Washington Dec. 15-After re-
session the new amendments to the
ayPauncefote treaty, as made by
the committee on foreign relations.
Senator Lodge made an effort to have
day set for the taking of a vote
upon the treaty. He suggested next
Thursday as the generally acceptable
time, but Senator Mason first made
objection, and when he Withdrew 1t
Senator Money suggested that the
vote upon the treaty should be post
poned until Il vote could be secured
upon the Nicaragua canal bill. Sen
ator Morgan, however, stated that he
was not disposed to make that con
tention any longer, because he did
not wish to do anything which would
lead Great Britain to conclude that
this country desires to take a threat
ening position. Senator Butler then
entered objection to fixing n time for
vote Senator Lodge said that in
view of the position taken he should
press the treaty upon the attention
of the senate early and late until a
vote could be had, and he afterwards
declined to move an adjournment
from Friday until Monday because
of the refusal to allow day to be
named for vote.
Aside from these incidents and the
reporting of the new amendments
suggested by the committee on for.
eign relations. the proceedings in ex-
ecutive session consisted of speech
making. the speakers being Senators
Culberson. Spooner. Lindsay. Me
