SENATE WILL
MOVE ESL0WLY
Upper House Decides to
Take It's Time Consider
ing Sulzer Resolution for
Abrogation of Russian
Treaty.
SOME SOLONS
ARE HEDGING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Opposi-
! ton 10 the senate program for imme-
diate action on the Sulzer house reso-
| luton looking 10 the termination OF
the treaty OF 1892 is developing among
some senators. This opposition is
based largely on the theory that any
estrangement between the United
States and Russia would have the ef
feet Of bringing Russia into alliance
with Japan, with the result of injur
ing the oriental trade of the United
States.
Many kilograms advancing this idea
Y ere received during the day. Most
Of these messages to the senate urged
il not to pass the measures. This
view will be presented TO the COM
mittee on foreign relations when il
meets next Monday in accordance with
Chairman Cullom's promise TO take the
resolution. Senator Lodge has given
assurance that the resolution viii be
considered after Monday, but even
then he might not succeed in getting
it through the senate so promptly.
Senator Cullom issued his call to the
committee to meet at IL o'clock Mon
day morning. He said today he felt
there will be ample time for considera-
ton of the resolution. The suggestion
was made that Secretary Knox be in
Nited before the committee, but as the
committees course is practically pre-
scribed by reference to it of the Rus
sian resolution. it has been decided it
would not invite possible opposition to
the immediate action contemplated.
There is possibility of ultimate de-
lay on account of changes in the reso-
luton which requires the concurrence
al the house. Most senators believe
notice of abrogatiOn provided by the
treaty must run for a year after the
first of next January succeeding ac-
tiOn on it. Senator Lodge lntimated
his intention of offering an amend
ment making clear the language of
point II the committee of the senate
accept this view it will be necessary
to send the resolution back to the
house If this prevents action by both
bodies before adjournment for the
Christmas holidays there will be no
further necessity for haste as the en-
tire year will be left in which con-
gress might express itself The house
disposed of the act quickly so as IN
expediate the resolution to the presi
dent for formal approval.

Commenting upon the discourse at the affair an exchange has the following:
 Although all the members of the association are deaf, with the excep- ton of Professor Wright, they have learned to use their eyes in place of their ears, and all the intercourse at the luncheon and the business meeting was spoken as though it was being heard in stead of being seen. The usual accom- paniments of gesture and manual spelling that are seen in gatherings of the deaf were entirely absent on this occasion as all present could speak and under stand the speech. of others.
