Treaty.

Recent advises from New York
state tnat the friends of the French
reciprocity trea'y in the Senate are
going t., make an effort to bring
abrut the ratifi ;atiOn of the treaty in
TIE coming week. If necessary it
will be made the subject of caucus
action.
AS the matter now stands the
treaty is practically deadlOckcd by ii
morton to refer 1t to the Finance
Committee. Ii has already been
favorabIy reported from the COnmi-
ttee on Foreign Relations and was
briefly considered in executive Ses-
sion.
The opponents of the treaty in
c,ude the, entire New England dele
CATION, wich has the hest parliamen
tary tacticiaus in the Senate. If a
vote could be reached it is asserted
that the treaty could easily muster
the necessary two thirds to iusl re
its notifications.
Appeals from all parts Of tie cOun
try are dali, made % Senators In
behalf of tho prompt ratification Of
the treaty, but hy sharp practice the
opposition has thus far been able to
prevent decisive action.
SO bitter is the contest over this
treaty that the steering committee
has heea unable thus far to bring
about an anicable adjustment OF the
difficulty.
At "a brief meeting Of the com
mittee this subjscS was under
conside alton, and it was understood

The opponents of the treaty are
urging political objections to it. and
openly declare that irs ratification
