SENATOR'S DISSENT
Seven Treaties Have Beer
Ratified by Senate.
ADMIRE ROOSEVELT, BUT DISAGREE
Arbitration agreements" Must Bs
Called "Trenties"-Former word,
Used by President, Cut Out
by Upper House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Thc sen
ate has ratified the seven arbitration
treaties which have been for some time
pending after adopting the amendment
reported by the committee on foreign
relations. The vote on the amendment
was 80 TO o. The amendment consists
of the substitution of the word treaty
for agreement In the second section
of the conventions, making this section
read as follows:
I'm each individual case the high con.
tracing parties before appealing to the
permanent court Of arbitration shall
conclude a special treaty defining clear.
ly the matter in dispute, the scope OF
the powers of the arbitrator and the
periods to be fixed for the formation of
the arbitral tribunal and the several
stages OF the procedure"
Two executive sessions were held, be-
ing devoted to consideration of the
principle involved in these treaties. The
earlier session was occupied chiefly
with discussion Of the presidents let
ter to Senator CuIlom and the later SEES
sion to consideration of the amendment
itself.
A notable feature of the three SEES
siOns at which the treaties have been
discussed is that instead, as has been
enormously reported. of eliciting crit.
iclsm Of the president, the debate was
characterized by expressions of the
highest esteem for Mr.. Roosevelt, and
senators, notably Messrs. Lodge, For
aker and Spooner. while insisting that
the proposed amendment was essen
| tial, not only gave utterance to their
high regard and admiration for the
| president, but declared that rarely, II
ever. had they been confronted by a
more painful duty. They said II grieved
| them to be compelled to dissent from
the opinion of the president, but pro-
tested their utter inability to see their
way clear to carrying his recommends
| ton into effect.
Senator Lodge spoke with much feel
| ing when he declared that his great
affection for the president rendered his
| course in this instance extremely pain
full and that only sense Of duty COM
| PEELED him to vote for the amendment
which the president disapproved. He
declared that the present occasion was
| one where no senator could permit
himself to be influenced by questions Of
expediency or personal preference or
regard and at the same time be true
to his oath to uphold the constitution;
that were the senate to ratify the pend
ing treaties without amendment 1t
would be giving official sanction to a
principle in violation Of the constitu.
| ton.
Senator Spooner followed Senator
Lodge, declaring his regard and admi-
ration for President Roosevelt in elo.
| quent terms, but asserting his convic.
ton that TO ratify the treaties without
| amendment would be doing violence
| to the constitution. Senator Foraker
| spoke in the same vein.
