CANAL TREATY NOW.
A Caucus of Republicans Held to
Get 1t Considered.
Several Senators Expressed thu Opin'on
That the Consideration OF the Treaty
Would sidetrack the Statehood Biii.
but senator Quay Yielded.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The repub-
lican senator's held caucus yester-
day and decided to have the senate
continue consideration of the Pam
anna canal treaty to-day and on fu-
ture days until the treaty shall be
disposed of. This result was reached
after an hour and half's discussion
of the Legislative situation in the
senate. The conclusion reached was
unanimous. The understanding is
that the statehood bill does not lose
it's advantageous position in the or
der Of business when the senate is in
Legislative session. The republican
supporters of the statehood bill agree
not to antagonize motion for an ex-
ecutive session to consider the canal
treaty, nor to make any objection to
the prolongation of such sessions to
any extent necessary to secure rati-
fication.
Senator Cullom, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, pre-
scented n motion declaring it to be the
sense of the caucus that the senate
should Ego into executive session Feb
ruary IS, Immediately after the con-
clusion of the morning business, to
ratify the Panama canal treaty" In
n brief speech he dwelt on the fact
that the option of the United States
on the rights and franchises of the
Panama canal treaty expires on the
4th of next March. He said that
other interests and other nations
might desire to control so important
an enterprise. so that it was alto
gether possible that we would not
be able to renew the option at so
low figure as $4O,OOO,OOO, the price
which this country has agreed to pay
in case the bargain is consummated.
AS only two weeks of the session re-
main and there was determined,
though limited, opposition to the
treaty, it was absolutely necessary
that no further time should be lost
in getting down to serious work on
the treaty. Several friends of the
statehood bill in speeches expressed
the opinion that the chief purpose of
the motion was to side-track the
statehood bill. Speeches based on
this apprehension were made by Sem
ators Quay, Ellsins, Gallinger and For
aker. They expressed their adher-
ence to the treaty and said they
agreed fully with oil that had been
said as to the necessity for its early
ratification, but thought that the
proper way to>reach a vote was first
to take vote on the statehood bill.
"By pursuing that course" said Sen.
ator Quay, "you can get the only OBJ
stacle to consideration of the treaty
out of the way and get it out of the
way by legitimate means"

j. Edward Addicks has withdrawn
from the senatorial race in Delaware
after having deadlocked the legisia-
ture since 1895 and deprived the state
of its representation in the senate.
The republicans of Delaware have
given the country a ridiculous ex-
ample of stubbormness, and their at
titude has been one of the strongest
arguments employed by the advocates
of popular election Of senator's. The
spectacle Of states entire Legislative
machinery being tied up by one mans
obstinate ambition was at once abb
surd and disgraceful.
