crews resolution ordering reprint
of the instructions and papers sent to
the Paris peace commission so as to
include an important telegram which
had been omitted from the original

printer with the other papers, but he
could not say why it had not appeared
I'M its proper place. The resolution
was adopted.

thority upon the commissioners OF

controverted questions-the Phillp-
pine and Cuban amendments. lie re-
garded the Philippine amendment as
much improved by the amendment Of
fered by Mr. Hoar, but, to his mind, 1t

be, but he had some reservations in
his approval of it.

Senator Allen (Neb,) instructing the
secretary Of the navy to send to the

committee on foreign relations decd-
ed to make no further efforts TO &C.
sure action upon the various reci-
procity treaties before the senate dur
ing the present session. The question
was thoroughly canvusscd. All the
senators present agreed that In the
present condition OF business II would
be impossible TO secure action upon

indicated unalterable opposition TO
the jamaican treaty, and other SEN
ators oppose all the treaties on prln-
ciple, There would be desire for
general debate II the question should
be brought to the front at all, and
for this would be waste Of very pre-.
cious time TO take the question up
