SENATE ASKS AMENDMENTS
WANT ARBITRATION TREATIES | CHANGED BEFORE THEY WILL
 BE RATIFIED.
|Committee on Foreign Relations
 Looks unfavorabiy on Docu- ments as They Now Stand.

Washington, Aug. 9.-F'riends of the British and French arbitration treaties in the senate have reached the conclusion tina. 1t will be neces- sary to amend the conventions in or der to get favorable action upon them. This conclusion is the result of the consideration of the documents lby the senate committee on foreign ireiations, which has taken them up | in vigorous fashion.
 After two prolonged sittings the committee adjourned late today to
 meet again Saturday. Both meet Iings were devoted to the considera- [tion of the documents on their mer- it's, the first in company with Secrs- ltary Knox and the second by tna members themselves without the soc- retary's aid.
 No effort was made to have tnS treaties reported and 1t became ex- tremely doubtful to some of the friends of the administration whether
 such course would be wise at rne tpreecnt time. owing to objections 10
 soms features of the agreement as
 they now appear.
 a=r>e..l objection was mads at pQth
 sittings to tho provision submittink
 questions of difference to tne toint thigh commission of inquiry but fault
 also was fund with the provision n
 the French treaty authorizing ratifl-
 cation by that government in accord-
 ancs with the procedure required Dy
 the laws of France and with the con. dition in British treaty that matters affecting dependencies of Great Brit- ain shall be submitted to the govern ments of such dependencies. l It was thought the latter clause might lead to undesirable complicar tions, while it was feared the former might necessitate change in the method of proceeding in thIs coun. |try.
 Despite all these objections 1t be- came evident. however. that the power conferred upon the joint conn mission is the only real obstacle to early action. Several senators ex- pressed opposition to this provision and more than one suggestion was made that the paragraph should pe eliminated or at least materially mou- flied. No motion was made to this Ieffect but if there had been vote lit probably would have carried. rne
 magnitude of the extent Of this lcriticism will be brought to the pres ident's attention and some senators will urge the cancellation of the pro vision.
 | At the afternoon session a sugges- ton of the morning meeting that une
 whole question should be postponed until December took the shape of . motion to that effect. It was made by senator Clarke of Arkansas, put was withdrawn upon 2 general ox- pression of opposition. In this con-
 nection the friends of the treaties received the greatest encouragement
 that was given them during the day. Many members of che committee
 expressed Themselves as friendly to the general proposition involved in
 the treaties and some went so far as
 to say that with few changes it
 might be possible to get favorable
 action during the present session.

Of today's session of the court and

Following Beattie, the prosecutor
began the rebuttal evidence, putting
or witnesses in attempt to back up
Paul Beattie's story that he had a
meeting with Henry Clary Beattie, Jr.,
Thursday night. Henry's story of this
meeting differs from Paul's as to the
time of the meeting.
Several witnesses gave testimony

Paul Beattie was with another young
man in an automobile. and that this
other young man resembled Henry

WEEKLY COT
TON REVIEW
TONE OF TRADE BETTER

The cotton market is cropping il!
self-confessed perplexity, the specuid
tors contending the price is too nign.
yet the bales are moving rapidly Into
consumption at full prices.
To those who take a long range
view Of the situation rather than
present stagnant speculative market
conditions, a. statement of the actual
spot situation may be an index Of the
future. Assuming a cpmmercial crop
of 100000 bales, there will come
into sight from now on 1884, 726
bales, there will come into sight from
now on 2,382,726 bales, and if to this
we add the net port and interior
stocks, there will be 3,813,785 bales in
America available for the balance. OF
the season If from this we deduct
an amount equal to the exports and
takings by American mills after this
date last year, viz: 3,595,040 bales
there will remain only 218,745 bales,
and this mmakes no allowance for
the census statement that American
mills hold in stock 250.O0O bales less
than last year, and it can hardly he
expected that curtailment will be as
drastic as it was during the latter
7art of last season.
It is fair, however, to note the cen
tention of the bears is that the strong
statistical position is apparent to
every one and yet it does not attract
speculation at current prices; but on
the other hand with bearish senti
ment and short selling so prevalent
prices receGe very little, because the
cotton is all being absorbed by the
trade.
The tone of the cotton goods trade
in this country is distinctly better
and more business is being done than
the published reports Indicate Busi
ness on the Continent is improving
and they are now taking cotton more
freely. In Lancashire, all reports are
to the effect that the business is the
largest on record, with mills heavily
under contract.
It mas been said that a speculator
might us well be wrong as to be Eigh+
too soon, and perhaps that spirit de
ters many from entering the marke
at the present level of prives through
fear of serious break, but such 9
break in prices is not imminent in a
market devoid of scattered specula-
tive long interest, and supported by
an insatiate demand for spot cotton,
and with the supply and demand stu
alton growing stronger each week.
The developments in the western
part of the belt are being closely
watched. The deficiency in rainfall
has become a most serious question.
The official rainfall reports for Janu-
ary ara not yet available, but very lit
tie rain has fallen during the month,
and in much of the territory the
ground is too hard for plowing. It
is expected that heavy rains during
February will relieve the deadlock
and cause the spot holder to loosen
his grip on the remnant of the crop;
on the other hand. a continuance of
the dry conditions will strengthen the
whole situation, broaden the demand
for goods, and finally attract specula-
ton, even at higher prices.

N. {. To LOSE
CONGRESSMAN
PLAN TO KEEP MEMBERSHIP OF
THE HOUSE AT PRESENT
NUMBER OF 39l
LIKELY TO BE ADOPTED

Washington, Feb. 6.-Fearing that
North Carolina and Virginia will each
lose one member of the House if the
reapportionment bill fixes the number
at S91. Congressmen Hay, of Virginia;
Page, of North Carolina, and other
members Of both delegations, are hard
at work lining up votes in favor Of
making the number 433.
The riatter is considered serious
here and the outlook is not promising
for the 433 plan to go through. In
fact it is stated that several members,
who had about decided on. the 433
plan, are now in favor of holding the
membership down to 391. If the lat
ter plan is carried out, there will be
no alternative other than Virginia and
North Carolina each lose on member.
Such a plan would cause both States
to be redistricted.
The Governor of a Western State
which would lose by this method of
apportionment, declares he will veto
any bill his Legislature may pass cut
ting down the number of Congress
men. Politics is at the bottom of the
matter and may result in serious
damage to the South, If the reduction
Indica tons multiply that the Repub
lican majority will be able to pass
the new apportionment bill agreed
upon in caucus, leaving the House
membership as it now stands.
Chairman Crumpacker, of the cen
sus committee, told Congressman
Page he would call up the bill this
week as a privileged report. The
whole Wisconsin delegation reported
last week as wavering is now lined
up for the bill.
Stand of Tar Heels.
Langley, Cowles and Austin are
among Southern Republicans who are
expected to decline to be bound by
the caucus agreement, but uncertain
ty is felt about Grants probable ac-
ton. Congressman Morehead may be
considerably embarrassed over this
situation. He was a member of the
census committee that reported the
bill fayoring increased membership,
but he participated in the caucus of
his party. Manifestly he must stand
by his committee report and oppose
the proposal to reduce representation
in his own State, or bolt his party
caucus
A Possible Result.
In the event the bill passes this ses-
sion, as it now seems likely, the
legislature may be asked to redistrict
the State at once, or, if this is not
done, the dominant party in the State
may conclude to postpone such action
and nominate all nine candidate for
Congress for the State at large, which
may be done under the Federal law
and which would insure the Demo
Gratis solid delegation. Members
from the two Dakotas are now elect
ed by this method.
