Senate Considers Flight Treaties in
 Executive sessien.
 Washington, Feb. 10.--The arbitra- ton treaties between the United States and eight European Governments were under discussion for more than two hours today in the executive session of the Senate. The opposition developed was not from those who fought the treaties before they were amended by the Senate Committee on Foreign Re- lations so as to provide that each claim to be arbitrated must be agreed upon by special treaty" This amendment satisfied Southern Senators, who had been opposed to the treaties on the ground that they might be used for ar. bitration on foreign claims against States on account of outstanding bonds.
 The treaties were called up by sena- tor Cullom. chairman of the Commit tee on Foreign Relations He eaid that the conventions had been pending for a long time and that, this country was the only one that had shown a dis position not to act promptly in form ing what he termed a "chain of trea- ties" for the arbitration of claims be- tween citizens of countries interested.
 The desire of the President and state Department for the ratification of trea- ties were discussed by Senator Cullom, who was supported by Senators Lodge, Spooner and others. After the speech by Senator Cullom, debate became gen. eral and was participated in largely by Senators supporting the arbitration treaties as a general proposition. but differing as to the phraseology to be used in the amendment to answer tho criticisms urged by Southern Senator's
 Senator Bacon defended the position he had taken in opposing the treaties before they were amended by the coni- mittee.
 Senator Morgan spoke against the treaties and against arbitration trea. ties in every form.
 Nearly every other member of the Foreign Relations Committee support ed the treaties and by agreement they will be taken up tomorrow.

CONFEDERATE FLAGS
REPnEsENTATKvE H.AsER WANTS
 THEs9 RETURNED.
vlrginTan Introduces RewoHutiOn iD House Directing That Those in War Department Re GiVen
 Confederate stnteS.

Washington, Feb. 10.-(Special.1-- Representative John Lamb of the Rich mond. Ga, district, today introduced a joint resolution directing the return of all the Confederate flags in custody of the War Department to the Con- federate States.
 MT. Lamb has not canvassed the prospects for the adoption of his res- olution. but is hopeful from the kindly disposition lately manifested toward Confederate soldiers that the Northern members will vote with him.
 It will be remembered that President Cleveland once issued an order for the restoration of the flags of the Confed- crate States but rescinded the order upon discovery that it would require action by Congress. It was news of this order which gained J. B. Forak- CT, then Governor, now United States Senator. of Ohio, the sobriquet of Fire Alarm Foraker." because he declared the flags should never be restored, if he were President, while his head was above ground. It may be remarked that time has melIowed Senator For aker's asperity toward the Southern CTS, as was evinced over a year ago by his Introduction of a bill appropri- ating money to mark the graves of Confederate dead who died in North ern prisons
 Charles Sumner. Senator from Mas saehusetts. shortly after the civil war introduced a resolution to restore the flags and made 1t the occasion of one of his great efforts which was dis tinguished by a lofty magnanimity. The resolution was of course defeated at such a time. It was introduced in the Forty-seeond Congress not many months before Summers death, when his closing days showed his heart had broadened toward the people who fought against the Union.
 The Legislature of Massachusetts passed a resolution of censure upon her Senator which was later re- soinded. A copy of 1t was sent him and reached him just the day before he died, March il, 1874.
 Representative Lamb said this even ing he was assured many Republicans would vote for the resolution. There are Is9 of these flags stored away iD an attic room of the War Dejartment.
