ARBITRATION IS
GIVEN APPROVAL
Eight Treaties With Foreign
Nations Ratified.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Without any
amendment whatever to limit their
scope the senate, by more than two
thirds vote, ratified general arbitra'
ton treaties between the United
States and Great Britain, Japan, Italy,
Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and
Switzerland.
Those who opposed arbitration as
a national policy had exhausted their
field for argument in the debate of
the last two days, while others who
sought to amend the treaties made
their fight and lost by decisive vote.
Even before the senate began work
it was announced no amendments
would be pressed. AS an argument
against further delay champions of
the treaties pointed out that to amend
any of the conventions at this time
would be discriminatory, inasmuch as
a similar treaty with France was rati-
fed by the senate last summer and
renewed.

Henry N. Teller Of Colorado
Expires at Denver.
THIRTY YEARS IN THE SENATE
As the "OriginaI Silver Republican
ton at St. Louis in 1896.

Denver, Feb. 24.-Henry Moore
Teller, former cabinet officer and fol
more than thirty years United States
senator for Colorado, died here. Mr.
Teller, who was eighty-three years OF
age, had been i'll for two years and
his death was not unexpected.
Henry M. Teller was the origina
"silver Republican" He was so called
when he left the Republican national
convention at St. Louis in 1896 be-
cause he did not agree with the gold
standard plank of the platform and
ran again for the senate in Colorado
as an independent silver Republican
He was elected with 81 votes out
of 100, and after serving that term
the silver Republicans in Colorado
merged with the Democrats and Mr..
Teller returned to the senate-that
time as Democrat. He served one
term and retired in 1903 to make a
place for the late Senator Hughes,
also of the same party.
Mr.. Teller sprang to the front in
national affairs when he took a lead
ing part in the congressional investi-
cation of the Hayes-Tilden contro-
versy in 1876.
Distinction came to him later in
other lines of congressional work. In
1883 he left the senate to enter Presi-
dent Arthurs cabinet as secretary of
the interior; but he left that office
again in 1888 to re-enter the senate.
While serving his last term he was
member of the national monetary
commission which studied reforma-
ton of the banking and fiscal system
of the United States at home and
abroad.
