NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES.

Washington. June 4.-Senator NOT
gan from the Senate committee
on intcr-occanic canals, Mon
day. favorably reported the rcso-
luton for the abrogation of the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty. As reported the
resolution reads: THAT the treaty
known as the Clayton Bulwer treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States. which was concluded on the
10Th day of April. 1850. is abrogatcd."
In presenting the resolution Mr.. Nor
gan made a written report travcrsing
the grounds for the abroGation of the
treaty in considerable detail.
In the report Senator Morgan says
that IF the Clayton Bulwer treaty
stands in the way of the purposes of
our government. it must give way to
the paramount law if the House bill is
enacted into statute of the United
states. He admits. however, that is is
question whether it is an obstruction

]. 56TH CONGRESS.
Protracted Sessions Of Both
the House and Senate.
Clearing Up Odds and Ends--Final
Adjournment Expected, "Wednesday.
Senate INDUCES in Sort Of Social Session,
Monday Evening.

Washington, June 4.-Congress is in
the last gasp of long session and its
expiration apparently is to be quite
perfunctory. Unless something extra
ordinary occurs no further general leg
islation of national Importance will be
enacted before final adjournment. The
Senate was in session more than ~
hours, today. nearly four hours of
which were spent in executive session
The only features of the day session
were the speech on the Philippine
question by Teller of Colorado, and the
effort of Pettigrew of South Dakota.
to obtain consideration of the anti
trust bill passed by the House, Satur-
day.
Tonight, a picturesque session was
held-a sort of social seSsion-at which
many of the senators appeared in full
dress and the galleries We're thronged
by a gaily attired crowd of spectators.
Pettigrew replied at length to the
speech of SpoOner of Wisconsin on the
Philippines but did not conclude his re-
marks. The remainder of the session
was consumed in the consideration of
conference reports and in passing
minor measures on the calendar.
The Senate was in executive session
for three hours. today, dividing its
time between an eXtraditiOn treaty
which has been negotiated recently
with the republic of Switzerland and
the nomination Of Hon. w. ID. Bynum
to be general appraiser of merchandise
at New York. The treaty was ratified
without division after some slight YER
bal amendments. 1t is the regulation
agreement on the subject of the extra
dition of criminals and is a mere modi-
fication of the old treaty with Switzcr-
land. According to the former agree
ment Switzerland was pledged to the
surrender of her own citizens upon the
demand of the United States. but a law
having been enacted recently by the
legislative assembly of that country
making it unlawful to make such a
surrender, a new treaty became neces-
sary to conform to the new conditions
and accordingly the treaty ratified. to-
day. was negotiated.
When the treaty was disposed of the
Bynum nomination was taken up and
it's consideration pressed by senators
who opposed confirmati ton on the theo-
ry that IL a vote could be secured con-
flrmatioL would be defeated. Senator
Fairbanks. as Mr.. Bynums friend and
chief supporter, opposed consideration
and failing in his purpose, moved to
recommit the nomination to the com
mittee on finance. This motion was
lost. 81 to "a. Mr.. Fairbanks then. at
4 o'clock. took the floor and spoke for
the remaining two hours of the exec
utive session. The closed session was
brought to an end q few minutes before
6 o'clock. by an order for a recess at
that hour and action upon the nomin-
alton, today, was prevented.

the Senate to abstain from enacting the
House bill because the Clayton Bulwer
treaty would be thereby put into full
effect as bar to such action?'
In conclusion the report says that
IF the Clayton Bulwcr treaty is in
force and if Great Britain so insists. it
is the clear duty of Congress to declare
that it is abrogated."
IF the treaty is abrogated the con
clusion is that the way is cleared for
proposing to Nicaragua and Costa
Rica such terms as may be appropriate
for acquiring into those states what
ever rights and powers they are at lib
ertY to cOncede to enable the United
States to construct and control the
canal: and also open the way for such
a general declaration as to the neutral
ity of the canal as shall meet the APP
probation of the civilized powers.
IF this resolution is rejected and the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is not ratified,
we will be left. says the report to the
alternative We should now accept of
declaring that the Clayton Bulwer
treaty cannot stand as perpetual bar
ricr if such is the pleasure of Great
Britain against the rights of the
United States to construct and own q
ship canal in connection with Costa
Rica and Nicaragua TO connect the
waters Of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans.
The passage Of the House bill now
pending in the Senate should be the
step in this Indispensable movement;
and the Senate should not permit the
conclusion it may reach on the Hay
Pauncefute treaty, which is a miner
consideration. to obstruct the will of
the majority of this body is its action
on thu House bill"
