FRYE CONQUERS MORGAN

Washington, March 11.-Droided pro-
gTess was made to-day toward reaching
an agreement for a vote on the Colon
bian canal treaty and when the Senate
adjourned there was a general under
standing that tomorrow in all probability,
some hour next Tuesday would be de
tnitely agreed on az the time when II
vote should be taken on the treaty and
all amendments. All statements to this
effect, however. were accompanied by the
announcements that there were Yet some
details to be arranged, leaving il impos-
sible absolutely to conclude the agreement
before Tomorrow. There is, however, no
doubt in the minds Of the leading senators
that the vote will lie taken Tuesday.
The arrangement was brought about
largely by Senator Frye, who by virtue
of long service With Senator Morgan on
the committee on foreign relations has
come to be on terms OF great intimacy
with the Alabama senator,
Senator Morgan eNaCted consent to the
printing in the congressional record Of
the remarks he has prepared giving his
best recollection of the speeches he has
made in the executive sessions of the
Senate on the treaty. The republican
senators consented in order to save time,
which they consider now more important
than the conservation of senatorial ETH
Quette.
Democratic senator's have practically
agreed unanimously to urge an amend
ment to the 23rd article of the treaty re-
lievinG il of all question as to the right
of the United Staetes to control the canal
The indications are, however that the
treaty will be ratified without moditica-
ton in any particular.
The agreement made to-day has no
reference to the Cuban treaty but opens
the way for it's early consideration in
the Senate
Senator Morgan to-day continued his
remarks in the Senate in opposition 70
the canal treaty, but most of the time
was given up to the reading Of docu-
ments by the clerk at Mr. Morgan's re-
quest The few remarks made by him
related to the unsanitary conditions in
the vicinity of the Panama route and Ia
the division of the money to be paid 10
Colombia by tho United States.
The Guatemalan and Mexican extra
dition treaties were ratified.
The understanding among members OF
the committee on foreign relations Is that
none Of the reciprocity treaties before
the committee shall b" reported for con-
sideration at this session and that the
Cuban treaty will be the last to receive
| the attention Of the committee for the
present

tachment OF Newfoundland TO this coun-
try. whereas a false step might have the
effect of driving it TO Canada. They also
urged that the free bait privilege granted
! by treaty is OF the greatest Importance.
senator Lodge who opposes the treaty
questioned witnesses bringing out the fact
! that by its terms only eight articles are
added to the Newfoundland free list and
that of these only one, gas engines. is to

Acre territory now in dispute between
Brazil and Bolivia and protesting vigor-
ously against such action by the syndica te.
The minister said tonight that the taking
