Six Weeks to Get There.

London, Feb. 12.-At the Japanese
legation tonight no great Importance
was attached to the report Chat the
Russian Baltic squadron is going to
the Far East. 1t was explained that
even If the report were true. the feet
would not reach the scene of operations
under six weeks, by which time the sit
uation might have changed materially.
In any case, it was said, the Japanese
navy would be quite ready to meet the
ships.
1t was also pointed out at the lega-
tion that since Great Britain has de-
clared her neutrality, and as most of
the coaling ports east of Suez are Brit
ish. the Russian men of war will ex-
perience great difficulties in coaling, or
be hindered by the necessity of having
Golfers accompany them.

m some day between Feb. Is and 49,
An agreement was reached in executive
.sssion to-day to take action on Monday
next. to decide upon a time for voting
m the treaty, and it was determined
that such date should be on or before
Feb. %.
The Senate was in executive session
for more than four hours. and after
the agreement to vote on the treaty
had been reached nearly the entire
time was devoted to general discussion
of the encroachments of the Senate
and the President on each others pre-
rogauves under the constitution.
Senator Teller opened the debate on
subject
than two hours, and filled with Incl
dents where the Senate has interfered
with the President in regard to MAX
ing federal appointments, he aroused
a number of the Republican leaders to
defense of President Roosevelt. Some
of the Republicans agreed with Sena-
tor Teller that there have been many
encroachments by the White House
upon the rights of the Senate.
The political phases of the debate
were finally eliminated, with the result
that several administrations were dis
cussed and brought under the ban of
disapproval The first was the Cleve-
land administration, in which it was
said that the President used undue in
fuence for the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act, Presi-
dent McKinley's influence upon Re-
publican members of the Senate for the
ratification of the Paris treaty and
President Roosevelt's pressure in
bringing about the ratification of the
Cuban treaty and also the influence
he has brought to bear looking to the
ratification of the. Panama canal
treaty, were cited as instances in which
the Senate has not been left free to
deal with these topics according to
individual judgment.
The criticism was not alone Of the
administration, several senators, in
Guiding Spooner, Allison, Teller, Du-
bois Gallinger and PIatt of Connecti-
