ROOSEVELT WILL
 NOT PRESENT THEM
MAINTAINS THAT ACTION OF THE SENATE IN TREATY MATTER IS A STEP BACKWARD INSTEAD OF FORWARD.

Washington. February 13-President Roosevelt will not present the arbitra- tion treaties, as amended by the Senate. to the countries with which they were ne- gotiated. In reply to numerous inquiries by representatives of the press at the state department today, Secretary Hay made in substance the followin~ state ment:
 The President regards the matter of the general arbitration treaties as con- cluded by the action of the Senate on Saturday. He recognizes the right of the Senate to reject a treaty either by di- changes which are incompatible with its spirits and purpose.
 "He considers that with the Senate amendment the treaties not only cease to be a step forward in the cause of gen. eral arbitration, but are really a step backward, and therefore he is unable to present them in thls altered form to the countries with which we have been in negotiation"
 The arbitration treaties which were amended and ratified by the Senate on Saturday were sent to the President to- day. Each treaty was accompanied by the usual resolution setting forth the ac- tion taken by the Senate.
 The vote of 50 to in favor of the adop- tion of an amendment to the treaties does not give the full strength of the Senate on the question insisting upon it's preogatives in treaty making. There were five pairs recorded, but in each case 1t was stated by the senator announcing his pair that he belived is his pair were present he would vote for the amendment. There seemed to be a lack of informa- tion as to whether general pairs covered the subject of amendment or treaties and on that account a number of senators refrained from voting. Senator Alice, who was recorded as voting for the emend- ment was not present His name was confused with that of Senator Alger, who was present and voted for the amend ment The pairs recorded were Depew and McEnery, Proctor and Mallory Clark of Arkansas and Willard. Pettus of Ar kansas and Crane and Simmons and Clapp.
 Record was made, however, as to the manner these senators would have voted

Does International Power Now
 Control Tennessee CO2
RuMORS IN WALL STREET
In New York No More Talk Is Heard to the Effect That the Steel Trust Wantc to Control South
 ern Companies.

New York, February 13.-(SpeciaL)--The International Power company. of which J. H. HoadIey is the head, and which has recently acquired control Of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, Is believed to have got control of the Ten nessee company and to be figuring now on the Sloss-Sheffield and the Republic It is said here that overtures to the Sloss- Sheffield people have already been made
 Wall street is again full of rumors about a consolidation of the big corpor- ations of the Birmingham district. One hears no more of the steel trust trying to enter the Birmingham field. After per- sistent rumors that the United States Steel corporation would acquire control of the Tennessee, the Sloss-Sheffied and the Republic, 1t was found that such a scheme, if it was ever seriously consid- cred, was not to materialize.
 But it is certain that MT. Hoadley and his associates will do their best to cor ral three or four iron and coal companies in Alabama in addition to the Alabama Consolidated. It is believed that the Re- public company would be glad to sell It's Alabama properties, so as to con- centrate It's energies on its northern plants.
 As to the Sloss- Sheffield that Is an- other question. This company is in exceptionally strong shape It is 8 money maker and has large cash sur plus. The big stockholders are not dis posed 10 sell unless they get a stiff price, But MT. Hoadley is supposed 10 be eager to add the Sloss to his list and in that event he may be willing to make Q big offer for majority of the stock.
 It is said that the International Power company will spend a large sum of money on development in the Birming- ham district

kossUTH MAY TALK.
Is Expected to Tell What the Elm
 peor Said to Him.

Budapest, February 13--It is stated in opposition circles here that at an audi ence which Francis Kossuth had with Emperor Francis Joseph in Vienna on Sunday, the demands of the opposition for electoral reform. and the creation of a separate customs system, were con- ceded by the Emperor, but that conces- sions with regard to the army were re- fused. Herr Kossuth is expected to make a statement concerning the audience at the forthcoming meeting of the independ- ence party
 The Hungarian parliament probably will not be able to meet on February II because 1t is not likely that new cabi- net will have been formed by that date. Julius Just, Kossuthist, probably will be elected president of the lower house.
