DEMOCRATS OPPOSE TREATY
But Republicans Expect to Obtain
More Than Two-Thlrtls Vote
to Ratify Measure.

Washington, March s.--The senate
committee on foreign relations will not
meet tomorrow 10 take up the Cuban
treaty but will do so on Wednesday
A number OF democratic senator's are
opposed TO the treaty. and intend brief
ly to present their views on the meas
ure.
Republicans who favor the treaty
count on three or four more votes
than necessary for two-thirds major-
ity TO ratlfy. There is probability
OF some discussion OF the constitution
al right in the senate to make treaty
affecting the revenues of the govern
ment without the concurrence of the
house.
II has been suggested that there
should be an amendment providing
that the treaty should not become ep-
erative until its provisions have been
approved by the house. Some mem
bers OF the committee think that such
disputed questions ought to so to the
supreme court. 1t Is the present in
tention OF the foreign relations COM
mittee to press the Cuban treaty TO a
vote as soon as the Colombian treaty
is out Of the way.

AMERICAN INSOLVENCY
London Times Says We Are Financial
" Debauehed. and win Have
Day Of Reckoning.

New York, March 9.-Referring to
the diminutfon Of the strength Of the
New York Associated Banks, the Lon
don Times in its city article today says,
that the mysteriously large reductions
OF net deposits effected in the last quar-
ter Of 1902, have usually been the re-
suit not OF real liquidation Of excessive
commitments. but OF transfers Of in
debtedness to European capitalists,
who were ready, for a handsome con-
sideration, to take over for time
these attempts to put on the evil day
when the United States business world
win have TO own that It has bitten on
more than It can chew"
The article says that during the last
three or four years the United States
has had more success than would have
been possible In the case Of any other
country. The Times adds:
mo country can show contempt for
sound business rules with impunity APP
parently enjoyed by the United States
for the disregard Of the laws Of econ
omics which is consequence of that
country's comparative youth merely
amounts to delay in the day Of reckon.
ing for each era Of economic debauch."

His Views.

Democrats Intimate They
VIII Assist Their Aged
Associate.

Washington, March .. During the
session Of the committee on foreign re-
lations today Senator Morgan offered
to consent to vote on the Colombian
canal treaty at ? o'clock on Saturday.
providing the senate would consent to
allow him to print such remarks as be
wanted In The Congressional Record.
The concensus OF opinion seemed 10 be
against granting the permission.
Some Of the remarks, heretofore made
by Senator Morgan. reflected severely
on the Colombian government and e.
pecially on the president Of Colombia,
and senator's do not think It would be
advisable to give official sanction to
such utterances by allowing them to
appear in the records OF the senate. II
also Is feared that the Colombian gov
.ernment might take offense and fan to
ratify the treaty, and 1t Is asserted
that ratification of the treaty can
be accomplished even IL no agreement
is reached.
Senator Allison. chairman OF the re-
publican steering committee. has sent
notices to all republican senator's re-
questing them to be present at the ses-
sions Of the senate in order to main
tain quorum.
No line Of policy has been agreed on
in the way Of pressing the treaty. but
the intention Is to keep 1t before the
senate, and under consideration as long
as possible each day.
While little opposition has been
shown aside from Senator Morgan.
democratic senator's have said that
they do not intend that the Alabama
senator shall be subjected to undue
strain In presenting his Views.
