WILL END
WITHIN
10 DAYS
Agreement Reached 10 Ratify
Panama Canal and Cuban Re-
clprOcity Treaties Next Week.

Washington. March 1s.--If the present
purposes of the senate Republicans are
carried out. the extraordinary session OF
the senate will end within 10 days. A
tentative agreement has been reached
providing for the ratification of the Pan
anna Canal treaty and the Cuban reci-
procity treaty next week.
According TO the arrangements made
in executive session yesterday, the Pan
ANA canal treaty will he voted upon next
Tuesday. Monday will be devoted 10
disposing OF amendments, and on Tues
day there will be two hours OF general
debate.
The adoption by the foreign relations
committee OF an amendment 10 the Cuban
reciprocity treaty providing that IL shall
not become operative until approved by
the house. has removed particularly all
opposition and made Il certain that the
treaty will he ratified by a large majority.
There are number OF Republican
senators who believe that some Of the
amendments proposed by the Panama
canal treaty by the Democrats should
be adopted, but they have yielded 20
the argument that II the treaty were
sent 10 Colombia In amended form the
chances OF its defeat or postponement
would be so great that the senate would
not be justified In making any changes
whatever in the convention. The sem
ators I'm arriving at this determination
are not unmindfui OF the fact that the
Colombian congress- may see fit TO amend
the treaty before ratifying, which would.
Of course, throw the whole matter over
TO the new congress, but II has been
thought better TO run the risk OF delay
ather than TO endanger the whole canal
project by amending the canal treaty
as negotiated by Secretary Hay and the
Colombian minister.
Senator German. the Democratic lead
er. yesterday explained the attitude OF
the Democrats OF the senate to be that
they believe the treaty should be amend
ed so as TO make II clear that any canal
TO be constructed by the United States
is 10 be an American canal. TO be for
tilted and protected by the American
government and to free the treaty OF my
declaration to the purposes OF this
government with regard to extending Its
territory in Central Aemrica.
In executive session in the senate after
the Cuban treaty had been reported and
read in full Mr.. Teller discussed the
proposed amendment of the committee
providing that the treaty should not 60
into effect until approved by congress.
His remarks broadened into speech
against the Cuban treaty on number OF
grounds.
