Eested-
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The
margin by which the four-power Pa
eihc treaty Will be ratified appeared
today to depend only on the number
OF Democratic votes Senator Under
wood can deliver.
II he can provide six votes, the
treaty will be ratified by a danger
ously close margin. Underwood him
self considers eight Democratic
votes certain and from ten to twelve
probable.
Taking yesterdays vote on the Robin
son amendment as the yard stick by
which to measure the Senate lineup, 1t
was apparent

the Republicans irrecOncuables can
muster against the treaty.
2 That the final vote based on
present conditions viii be about
sixty-two for the treaty and twenty
eight against II allowing for probable
absentees and pairs" This would
ratify the treaty by margin Of two
votes.
CARRIES THREE
DEMOCRATS ALONG.
Underwood carried three other Demo
Gratis with him in the vote against the
Robinson observation-disclosures, RAM
dell and Williams.

Iasenators on the Pacific treaty was re-
orted 10 be causing q serious
ruction In the higher council OF

TO lead to another fight for national con-

Wilson forces.
With Senator Underwood and
William Jennings Bryan pulling for the

counted as adherents OF former Prest-
dent Wilson, pulling against II, the Ill
feeling already engendered between the
opposing forces was said to be spread
