ment to the yPauncefote treaty as
made by the committee on foreign re-
lations, Senator Lodge made an effort
to have a day set for the taking of a
vote upon the treaty. He suggested
next Thursday as the generally accept
able time but did not succeed in get
ting the unanimous consent necessary.
Senator Mason first made objection
and when he withdrew it Senator
Money suggested that Senator Morgan
had given notice that he would ask
that the vote upon the treaty should
b.. postponed until a vote could be Sc
Senator Morgan, however, stated that
he was not disposed to make that con-
tention any longer because he did not
wish to do any thing which would lead
Great Britain to conclude that this
country desires to take threatening
position. Senator Butler then entered
objection to fixing a time for a 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 vote could he
had and he afterwards declined to
move an adjournment from today un-
til Monday because a refusal to ALLOW
a day to be named Tor a vote.
Aside from these incidents and the
reporting of the new amendments SuS
gested by the committee on foreign re-
lations, the proceedings of the dag
consisted almost wholly of speech

THE CABINET MEETING.
Appeal ioP Protection for Native Christians in
New Hebrldes.

Washington. Dec. 14.-AbOut the only
subject of popular interest discussed
in the cabinet meeting. today. was the
application of the Rev. James +. Hill
of Cannonsburg. Pa. for governmental
aid in protecting native Christians i'll
the New Hebrides islands. The subject
was brought before the cabinet by
Secretary Long. to whom application
had been made for a warship in behalf
of missionary interests.
The islands have been under divid-
ed French and British protectorate.
There was Il general disposition on the
part of the cabinet officers to do every
thing proper and possible to meet the
request of the missionary interests,
but it was found that to send war
ship to this port of the world would
require a trip OF about 1000 miles from
the nearest American station, and the
navy department has no vessels now
available for such servuce.
1t also was reported that French and
British sunboats patrol these seas and
doubtless would seek to prevent any
such attack upon the native Chris
tianS as is said to have been planned
