PRES. SIGNATURE DOUBTFUL.
Even If Sulzer Resolution Should Be
Passed by Congress.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Death might
be the reward of any American in
China who undertook to live UP To the
spirit OF such measure as the pend
ing Sulzer House resolution expressing
sympathy for and extending eneour-
agement to the Chinese revoludonists.
For this reason, il is declared doubt
ful that President Taft would sign the
resolution even should il pass both
branches of Congress.
Under acts passed in 1850 creating
consular courts and comforting upon
them extra territorial jurisdiction in
semi barbarous countries, the death
penalty is prescribed for any Ameri-
can who lends aid or announcement
to revolution directed against the
government of any Of the countries
where this jurisdiction exists. Hence,
il is contended, an American citizen,
acting in accordance with the spirit of
the Sulzer resolution would be liable
to have his life declared forfeited be-
fore the nearest consular court.
This situation has been called to the
attention of the extension executive
branch government and ii is being
given considera ton.

AFTER HAZARDOUS TRIP
The Fannie A. Smith Reaches Port
land, Bound for Gloucester.

Portland, Me, Jan. 10-A tale of one
of the most eventful trips ever made by a
fishing vessel coming into this port was
told, today, by Capt Leander Morash of
Lockport, N s, of The fishing schooner
Fannie A. smith of Gloucester. which ar
rived here, last night. from Bonnie Bay,
Newfoundland, with frozen and salt her
ring for Gloucester.
Capt Morash and his crew of eight
men We're nearly exhausted from work at
the pumps and from being forced 10 choE
ice almost constantly for 10 days. Many
times during the trip the men gave VI
hope of ever reaching land, and once
when the vessel was hove to in a north
westerly gale in the Bay of Fundy the
men felt sure the staunch little fishing
schooner would founder
Capt Morash was able to discard his
heavy oilskins fer the first time in i
days, last night
The schooner was minus her foresal
and lifeboat and her bulwarks on the
port side had been carried away.
The schooner drifted about &C miles Il
the Bay of Fundy. Saturday and Sunday
Capt Morash was dashed to the whee
and at one time when the seas were con
tinually sweeping over the decks the va
ter was up to his shoulders. The ice OF
the decks at timex was two feet thick.

FRIENDS OF ARBITRATION.
Encouraged as to General Treaties
With France and Great Britain.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Supporters oil
the general arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France were en-
couraged, today in their hope for
early ratification of the pacts when a
plan for amending the resolution of
ratification rather than the treaties
themselves was advanced by the Sen
ate committee on foreign relations.
The committee did not act, but the
plan met with favorable comment and
administration officials expressed en-
tire satisfaction over the outlook.
'Fhe proposed amendment to the res
olution of ratification would preserve
to tbs Senate all of it's rights and
would be binding on this country. This
apparent solution of a vexed situation
followed a conference early in the
day between Senator Lodge of the
Senate committee ON foreign relations
and Secretary of State Knox. The sec
rotary. referring to his recent speech
in Cincinnati said that there was never
an intention of abrogating or abrldg-
ing the powers of the Senate, a point,
he saws. which lie made clear in that
address. After protracted discus
sion Senator Lodge left for the Cap
itel 20 meet with the committee. 1t
was understood when he left the de-
partnaent that there was an under
understanding that the new agreement
would set aside the Root and other
pending amendments TO the treaties.
The amendment probably will be
made the subject of a supplemental
report by the committee on foreign
relations to the Senate 1t provides
that "All special arrangements. sub
hitting any questions decided by the
Joint high commission to be justtia-
bic under Article 3 of the treaties,
shall also be submitted to the Sem
ate for ratification in the same manner
as an agreement presented by the
President under the first article of the
treaties
All the Republican members present
expressed themselves in favor of TINS
change, but the Democrats, including
Senators Stone of Missouri, Clarke OF
Arkansas. Bacon of Georgia and
Hitchcock of Nebraska, showed OPP
! position to it.

Boston, Jan 1o-The addition of -
steamship clerks, who had grievances of
their own, to the ranks Of the $500 strik-
