THE ADMIRATION TREATIES.
The President Win Withdraw Them From
the senate n They Are to he Amended.

WAgHiN9rON. Jan. f. - Prasident Roose-
welt will withdraw from the Senate all the
arbitration treaties now before that body
for ratification unless tho Senate shows
itself disposed to ratify the conventions
virtually as they were drawn. He believes
that these treaties are wisely constructed
and he holds that they are kindred matters
with a large naval appropriation bill.
Both, he declares. operate as instruments
for peace. The President yesterday adj
dressed the following letter 10 Senator
Culom. chairman OF the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations;
My DEAR SENATOR CrLLoM: notice In

until the end OF that period they will certainly
be interpreted ia accordance with the view
