/ Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate lat,
yesterday ratified the Hay-Pauncefot,
| isthmian canal treaty by the decisiv,
vote OF 70 to 6. The vote was reached {
! few minutes before o'clock, after al
| nost.five hours discussion of the merit.
| of the agreement and the policy of 1t.
provisions. The principal speech of The
day was made by Senator Teller, in OPP
position to the treaty, and he was fol.
| lowed in rapid succession by twelve oil
| fifteen other senators. who spoke briefly
either for or against. the motion to rat
| fly.
Senator Teller expressed confidence
| that the resolution would be adopted
and said that while he had no purpose
| to attempt to prevent that result he was
convinced that there are very few SEN
ators who are mostly satisfied with the
treaty. With Great Britain in her pres
ent mood, he believed. he said. that II
| would have been impossible to secure a
treaty which would give entire satisfac-
ton, and he sharply criticised the state
department for failure to do so.
He took the position that 1t would
have been sufficient to abrogate the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, and said that
England knew well enough that With
that result accomplished che could very
well trust the United States to main
tain the neutrality of the canal as this
country had been prepared to do so for
many years.
Among the other speakers Ut the day
were Senators Clay, Fairbanks. Nc
Cumber, McLaurin of Mississippi, Gull
berson, Mallory, Mason, Tfllman, Bacon
and Bate.
Senator Mason made a strorg plea for
the treaty, expressing his qualification
that American diplomacy had succeeded
in securing such triumph as was this
treaty over the original Hay-l'auncefote
agreement.
Senator Bacon's speech was made in
connection with a motion to amend the
treaty. In presenting this amendment
he said that he was in favor. OF a ca
nal and would vote for the treaty with
the Davis amendment. He said he OPP
posed the treaty because he did not
believe 1t would give the United States
full control of the canal. He said that
Great Britain rejected the amended
Hay Pauncefote treaty, but sent US
another treaty about identical with the
former treay as amended except as re-
CARDS the Davis amendment. He con-
sidered that fact the moot important
feature of the whole controversy.
There was ain exceptionally full SEN
ate when the time arrived for vote.
but the certainty OF ratification had be-
come SO apparent that there was COM
paratively little interest In the proceed
ings. The vote on the amendments sue
ceeded each other quickly.
