TREATY FIGHT AGAIN
 DELAYED, PERHAPS FOR WEEK, IN SENATE
Pact Referred to Foreign Re. latiOns Committee for Report
CROWD DISAPPOINTED
 AT BRIEF DEBATE
Only Nine IrrecOnciliables Vote Against Plan to Bring Pact Before Rody for Recon-
 sideratiOn

Washington, Feb 9.-The peace treaty was brought back to the, sen ate today, but as soon as parliamen- tary barriers to it's consideration had been removed it was put aside again for period of waiting which lead CTS said would last at least week.
 Suspending its rules by bi-parti- san majority of seven to one and virtually without debate the senate quickly reconsidered the action by which ratification failed November 19 and then as matter of formal ity sent the treaty to the foreign relations committee with instructions to report it back at once with reser- vations framed by the republicans at the last session.
 The committee expects to act to- morrow, but it was announced that Senator Lodge, republicans leader, would ask that it's report be not talk en up until next week. Urgent legis- lative matters, it was said, including appropriation for tariff legislation were expected to consume time in the interval.
 Technical operation of taking the treaty from it's pigeon hole was ac- complished in accordance with a program previously agreed on by re- publican and democratic leaders and with no one but irreconcilable foes of ratification opposed. The debate was held to parliamentary questions and was short, disappointing the largest crowd which has gathered in the galleries since the treaty was laid aside.
 Nine Adamant.
 Thirty-four democrats and 29 re- publicans voted to suspend the senate rules so that the treaty again could be- considered while nine republicans, all of the irrenconcilable group vot- ed against. The action was taken, on motion of Senator Lodge. after one irrenconcilable. Senator Norris, re- publican of Nebraska has blocked suspension of the rules by unani- nous consent. By exclamation and again on the motion of Senator Lodge, the senate ordered reconsid- eration of it's previous roll call on ratification and sent the treaty to the committee. The latter step. it was explained, was taken to abro- gate the, cloture imposed last ses. sion which Vice President Marshall held must come back into the senate with the treaty.
 Only two roll calls were taken, one on the motion to suspend the rules and another on sustaining the vice president when he overruled Senator Norris point of order against the motion to reconsider. The latter re- suited in count of 62 to 10, the irreconcilables alone refusing to back up the chairs ruling. Later Senator Norris bitterly criticized the parliamentary methods by which the treaty's reconsideration was ac- complished.
 In asking that the committee be instructed to return the republican reservations with the treaty. Senator Lodge declared the stipulation would bind no one and was requested mere ly to get the reservations back be- fore the senate. When that has been done the republican senator is ex- pected to propose 'modifications agreed on by the disbanded bi-parti- san compromise conference, thus opening again the compromise dis cussion.
 It was emphasize tonight that the smoothness of the days proceedings was not to be taken as assuring any agreement on reservations. Although many senators professed to be very hopeful it was conceded everywhere that many differences still stood in the way of ratification. There were evidences also that the irreconcilable group had plans to magnify these J;ffororcoq
