RATIFICATION
 OF TREATIES
SUPPORTERS OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT HOPE FOR EARLY
 AND FAVORABLE ACTION.
Amendment Proposed Which Would Reserve to the Senate its Present Powers in the Matter of Fur
 ther Treaties.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Supporters oA the general arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France today were 1 encouraged in their hope for early ratification, of the pacts when a plan for amending the resolution of ratifi- caticn, rather than the treaties them selves, was advanced before. 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 fine outlook The proposed amendment to the resolution of ratification would pre- serve to the senate all of it's preroga- tives and would be biading on this country. The senate would be given an opportunity to pass upon all mat ters to be submitted to arbitration. but these treaties themselves would be left intact and no furthern negotia- tlOHS WOuiu pc IeQulTeu
 This apparent solution of vexed situation followed a conference early in the day between Senator Lodge of the senate committee in foreign relations, and Secretary of State Knox. The secretary declared there was no intention ever of abrogating or abridging the powers of the sen ate.
 After protracted discussion, Sen hator Lodge left for the capitol to meet with the committee.
 It was understood when he left the department, that there was aa un- derstandlng 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 supplemental report from the foreign relations com mittee It provides that "all special arrangements, submitting any ques- tions decided by the joint high com mission to be justicable under article three of the treaty, shall also be sub mitted to the senate for ratification in the same manner as an agreement presented by the president under the first article of the treaty"
 
 All republicans expressed them selves in favor of this change, but the democrats, including senators Stone of Missouri; Clarke of Arkansas; Ba- con of Georgia and Hitchcock of Ne braska, voiced opposition.
 The proposed amendment which would leave the treaties intact as SUD- mitted by President Taft, also re- quires that names of the members of the joint high commission, propos- ed by the president on behalf of the United States, shall be submitted to the senate for confirmation.
 The measure was suggested by Sen ator Lodge and was discussed al con- siderable length. No vote was taken, but the friends of the treaties were much encouraged by the trend of the talk
 The republican side of the senate is being thoroughly eanvassed to as- certain the possibility Of obtaining favorable action and the leader were gratified at the prospect. The out look is not so good on the democratic side. The democratic supporters ot the treaties have asked for delay ana there is some apprehension that the question may become involved n pol itics.

 $5z0,O00,O0O and the final disposition
 of the property to the steel corpor
 ation n 1901. for a much larger sum
 MT. Carnegie related the history O
 ms retirement from the steel busi
 ness. He told how Charles M. Schwal
 then president of the company hat
 come to him with message from J
 Pierpont Morgan asking him If h,
 desired to retire from business ant
 how much he wanted for his proper
 ties.
 Il told MT Sdhwab that it would
 depend entirely upon my partners, ; said Carnegie.
 T was ready to go. Already I had become engaged in arduous work try ing to dispose of the surplus wealth and l was wiling 10 retire. MT. Schwab said the partners were. vii. ling and he went back to see Morgan When he returned he said Morgan wanted figure. We went over the estimate and considered the former option of $S2O, O,00O,O00. Schwab had figured to show that since that was given about two and half years be- fore the property had grown in value about s100.000,000. He thought we ought to add that and I agreed with him Mir. Morgan accepted that fig ure. ]"
 But you sold for more than that to the steel corporation?r he was ask ed
 That's not true,' Mir. Carnegie stated emphatically. "That was our valuation and MT. Morgan accepted it as fair. q have since been told could have had $1GO.0O0.0O0 more if I had asked it. Once and for all, want to put a stop to this talk that was holding out for asn excessive price. We fixed a fair valuation of s420, 0,O00.000 and got 1t. There is the truth, gentlemen. and am here to tell you the truth.'
 But the steel corporation" said Mir. Gardner. issued bonds worth $492, ,006.160 against the Carnegie Steel Company when 1t was absorbed, :,
 "That's very surprising to me, said MT. Carnegie, q never knew that this was done and was not party to such a thing'
 When asked by MT. Gardner about the statement made by Senator Oliver that the Carnegie company received railroad rebates, Mir Carnegie declar- ed:
 'Tts astonishing how suspected an honest corporation can be. I never received rebate that know of in all my life.'
 MT. Carnegie then related how he had fought the Pennsylvania railroad because of discrimination in rates against him, how he had interested the vanderbilts in a project to erect competing road to the east, and how the vanderbilts had gone over to the enemy" ending the project.
 'sWhen this fell through, l went to George Gould and told him that years ago his father. Jay Gould, had told me he would furnish me the money to buy the Pennsylvania Railroad and would put me in charge of 1t if l would devote all my time to it l did not take the job. Then l said to Geo. Gould that inasmuch as his father had given that opportunity wanted to give Jay Gould's son an opportu- nity aud I offered to give him the Carnegie business if he would run his railroad into Pittsburg and it was al my suggestion that the Goulds went to Pittsburg with the Wabash Rail- road
 Mir. Carnegie declared that instead of the Carnegie Company having re- ceived rebates. as matter of fact he had forced the Pennsylvania, by threats to build competing roads. to agree to give him rates as low as those given, competitors.

He has not decided as to who will

Simmons and Coleman have mighty
good chances OF leading positions as

the season with the same pitching stan
