The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-20

amendments provided for the striking out of article 6 of the treaty. which makes specific declaration against the granting of any concession to American tobacco imported into Cuba That article was Left just as 1t was when the treaty was sent to the Senate. The amendment to strike out article offered by Senator McEnery, as was also another amendment provid- ing for the admission of American rice into Cuba free of duty, were lost.
 Newlands Withdraws Amendment.
 Senator Foster presented an amendment providing that the treaty shall not go into effect until Cuba should accept the Chinese exclusion laws of the United states. but 1t, like the McEnery amend ment. met defeat.

 MT. Hoar was absent and impaired. Declared Ratified.
 When the result had been footed up the figures were announced from the chalr and the presiding officer stated that as the treaty had received the necessary two-thirds vote 1t had been ratified. Senators Allison and Cockrell were ap- pointed a Committee to wait on the efes- ident and notify him that if he had no further communications to make the Sen ate was ready to adjourn. These two Senators. the two oldest in point of ser vice in the Senate, immediately took thelr dAnarture for the White House, but they had scarcely left when the Senate found itself again plunged into controversy The question this time was whether the debate on the canal treaty which nao l taken place after the calling in of the | official reporters should be given to tht l public.
 About an hour was spent on this suo'
 feet, the debate being merely an exten' | sion of that of yesterday on the subject The contention was made on the Demo | cratic side that there had been cleal
 understanding that the speeches were tC | be given publicity. Some Republican | Senators agreed with this view, but oth
 CTS. including Senators Lodge, Hanna ant | Fairbanks, declared that there was nc
 unanimous agreement to that effect. Ih' l issue was quite sharply joined and al | times the language was emphatic, but ul | timately the difficulty was compromised | by suggestion made by senator 1orfhal
 that all the speeches should be made pup
 lie, but that none of them should bt
 given out except those of Senators Nor
 gan and Cullom, which have already beer
 published, until after the ratification oi
 the treaty by both the United States ant | Colombia should be proclaimed.
 | This discussion was still under way
 when Senators Allison and Cockrell re
 turned from the White House, and wher the controversy had been concluded, Sen
 ator Allison announced that, as the re
 suit of their mission, the President haC
 stated that he had no further communi | cation to make to the Senate. He there | upon moved the final adjournment of tho
 Senate and this motion prevailed withou | divisicn.
