for the Senate In accordance with the
unanimous agreement reached the state
hood bill and all amendments offered to II

morrow The contest over some of the
amendments to the bill will be sharp, ana

republican steering committee has decided
that the pure food bill shall become the
unfinished business after the disposal OF the
statehood BILL but it is not believed that
much if any time will be found this week
for it's consideration.
The agricultural appropriation bill is now
under consideration and will continue to De

WITH NEWFOUNDLAND.
Little Expectation That Pending Con-
vention Will Become Operative.


Notwithstanding the action of the Sem
ate committee on foreign relations last
week in taking up from the calendar and
amending the pending reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and Newfound-
land, the administration has no expectation
that the treaty will ever be contaminated.
1t is said that the Senate committee
amendments are doomed in advance to re-
lection by the observation-disclosures.
The original treaty provided for the adj
mission free of duty into the United States
os salt fish from Newfoundland; the COM
mttee struck this out and allowed only
fresh fish to enter duty free. The New
foundland fishermen find nothing to tempt
them in that offer. The Massachusetts, peo-
pie cure these fresh fish themselves, SO the
Observation-Disclosures argue they are making
no sacrifice, but are really profting by I'M
porting Canadian raw material In the shape
of iced fish.
If the Senate adopts the committee
amendments the Newfoundland govern
ment will be given an opportunity to say
whether or not they are acceptable, but no
hope is entertained that the treaty will
come to anything in its present shape.
