Was Seconded by Senator'S Money
and TiIlman - Senator's Davis.
Foraker and Spooner Advocated
the New Arrangement-Mr.B Bacon
Contended 1t Was Another Case
of Land Grabbing.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The senate
today ratified the Samoan treaty without
division. The ratification occurred in
executive session, after two hours de-
bate, which was participated in by a
number Of senators. Messrs. Davis, For
aker and Spooner advocated, and Sena-
tors Bacon, Money and T1llman opposed
ratification.
Senator Bacon made the leading speech
in opposition. He based his opposition on
the contention that 1t was contrary to
the spirit Of our institutions to attempt
to govern a people in opposition to their
wishes. He said he was not opposed to a.
new convention, for any Partially felt
for the old tripartite agreement, which
was quite as repugnant to him as the
new one, yet means might be FOUND
without resorting to subterfuge, which
was repulsive to all American ideas OF
liberty and independence. There was no
doubt Of the intention to annex and ex-
ercise sovereignty in place Of the pro-
tectorate, which was the distinguishing
feature of the tripartite agreement of
1890. To this proposed change Of policy
he objected most strenuously. He COM
pared the provisions Of the two-agree-
ments at length, showing that the old one
made express provision~for the approval
by the Samoan government of changes
in the methods adopted by the powers,
whereas the changes necessarily put
aside the Samoan government and >partt-
lions the islands between the United
States and Germany.
Mr.. Bacon said the friends Of the treaty
supported 1t upon the two grounds that
it simply divides authority heretofore
exercised jointly. and the Samoan peo-
pie, being only Ignorant savages," there
is no reason why they should not be
despoiled Of their country. He con-
tended that 1t was not true that the old
arrangement was simply to be continued
under q division of authority, and as
serted that the declaration that the Sa-
moan people were savages was unten-
able. The United States had in many
ways recognized the Samoan govern.
ment, guaranteed its independence and
made a treaty of amity and friendship
with It's government. 1--WE do not" he
continued, make treaties Of friendship
with savages." He said the proposed
change should not be made without the
consent Of the natives.
In conclusion Mr.. Bacon said he was
willing that the United States should &C
quire the island of Tutuila, with it's Page
Pago harbor, If that could be done in q
proper manner and without violating our
principles in securing it.
Senators Money and Tillman spoke in
substantially the same lines.
The friends Of the treaty repudiated
the suggestion that the old treaty lines
were annihilated. They claim this coun-
try, by this new arrangement, main
tains all the old advantages, and avoids
complications liable to grow out of the
tripartite agreement. They urged that
the opportunity should not be lost to get
out Of an awkward predicament, and to
control, in our own right. the harbor OF
PagO Page.
