VOTE ON TREATY TUESDAY.
AGREEMENT IN SENATE.
Canal Convention Likely To Be Rati-
fled Without amendment
TBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l


Washington, March 11-An agreement has
been reached between Republican and Demo-
cratic Senators for vote on the Panama Canal
treaty on Tuesday, at the latest. According to
the plan drawn up and submitted to Senator
German this evening, the treaty will be read for
amendment on Monday under fifteen minute
rule. and final vote will be reached soon
afterward possible. While Mr.. German has
not finally accepted the proposed plan. it is
generally understood that he will do so.
The Democratic steering committee worked
assiduously to-day to secure the unanimous
support of the minority for the two amend
ments outlined in The Tribune this morntng,
but with little success. There are a number
OF Democrats who believe it would be bad poll
tics to defeat the convention. and, although they
may support the proposed amendments, these
Senator's say this evening that they will neither
filibuster nor oppose ratification on the final
vote If the amendments are lost. Ratification
of the treaty, although possibly somewhat de-
layed by the Democratic manPuvres is, there
FORE, regarded certain.
The agreement was brought about largely
by the efforts of Senator Frye who. by virtue
OF long service with Senator Morgan on the
Committee on Foreign Relations. has to
bara Senator. The negotiations We're begun
early in the day. and after Senators Frye and
Morgan had been in conference for some time
the latter sought Senator German and discussed
the situation with him, with the result indicated
Senator Morgan exacted consent to the print
ing In The Congressional Record of the re-
marks he has prepared giving his best recol-
lection Of the speeches he has made in the ex-
ecutive sessions of the Senate OH the treaty.
These speeches are contained in the pam
phlets sent to Senators yesterday by Mr.. Nor
gan. They have been read Ivy number of the
Republican Senators. who say they find nothing
Objectionable in them, ard that there is rea-
son why they should not be printed except that
they bear a treaty, which is always con-
sidered strictly executive business. They gem
orally. however. advise that permission be
given to print in order to save time, which they
consider more important than the pres
ervation of Senatorial etiquette.
Senator Morgan to-day continued his remarks
in opposition to the treaty, but most of the
time WAS devoted to the reading of documents
by the clerk al Mr.. Morgans request. The few
remarks made by him related to the unsanit1Ty
conditions the Panama route and to the
division of money to be paid to Colombia by the
United States.

DIVISION OF SENTIMENT.

There is pretty sharp division OF SEN
timent in North Carolina upon the Pana-
ma question. There is practically no di-
vision as to the indefensible usurpation
of power by the President and no divis-
ion about the need of the canal Most Of
those who favor the treaty do so solely be-
cause they fear the canal project will fail
altogether ii this treaty is not ratified.
Those who oppose it do so because they are
unwilling to condone the crime committed
by the administration, and they do not be-
lieve failure to ratify the treaty would de-

In a question of this kind there is room

letter from one of the ablest lawyers in
the State, sharply opposing the admin

EARNING POWER OF MONEY.

A few years ago it looked like the rate
per cent. in a short while. The Brooklyn
Savings Bank which then reduced the in
terest it paid depositors to three and a
half per cent, has now advanced the rate
to four per cent. because of ''the greater
earning power of money, and, what is the
same thing, the fell in the price Of securi-
ties in which they are permitted to invest
deposits The New York city savings
banks have not increased the rate In
Raleigh the rate in savings banks has re-
rs>hhed all along at four per cent, and
we'll managed banks with large deposits
the surplus annually.
1t is said in New York city that there
has been quite a withdrawal of deposits,
first. because individuals have thought
that at the abnormally low price of stocks
and bonds they could invest in them more
profitably than to keep their money locked
in the banks and draw only three and
half per cent, and, second, because of
strikes and wage reductions, it nas been
necessary tor working men to draw out
their savings to live upon. Happily in
North Carolina there has been steady in
