by senator Lodge, who announced that he
would call up the treaties next Monday

vote was taken.
The proposal to fix n time for voting was
made by the Senator from Massachusetts

was allowed to enable them to prepare and
deliver their speeches and for general de-
bate. and everybody appeared to be satls-
