Gonornl Swnyno on tho 15th advocated tho claims of the Paci fio Cablo Company of Now Jersoy, in which ho is interested with Colonel Spalding of Honolulu and othors,beforo thollouse com mittee on commerce. Ho urged tho Houso committeo to recommend i tho Sonata bill which authorizes tho Postmnstor-Genernl to con tract for a cable from tho Paoifio Coast to Japan by way of tho Hawaiian Islands with an annual subsidy not oxcoeding SIGO.OOO. A bill has been roported to tho House for a subsidy of 100,000 a year to tho Pacifio Cablo Compa ny of New York, in which James Scryrasor and J. Piorpont Morgan ftro interested. It was arguod by Qonoral Swnyno that thn British cablo pro joct endangered the success of tho American enterprise unless im mediate stops wero takon by Con gress.

Only sevou aro non-committal, nnd all tlm rest, for various reasons, op posed to tho treaty. It requires sixty votes to ratify tho treaty. Mr. Oluoy cannot find them in the Sennto. Tho Valparaiso Horaldo sayB tho treaty "amounts to a solid allianco of two of tho greatest powors of tho world for tho main- touanco of penco between Europe aud America, and what is moro important, from tho American point of view, is that it is an allianco to uphold tho Monroe doctrine."

A Vienna dispatch records that tho nowspapors there generally hail tho treaty with satisfaction. It Beoms likoly to rovivo tho old popular movement against mili tarism. Tho opinions thoy ox press aro nn echo of a widespread feeling against th6 armaments of Europe and of a hopo of a dawn of a better orn. Satisfaction is similarly dis played by tho papers in Berlin, I which seize upon the signing of I the treaty to point out that it served tho interests of the Anglo Saxon race, claiming a predomin ance nnd spreading itself to all quartern of the globe. General Benjamin P. Tracy, ox-Secretary of the Nnvy, after , reading tho treaty has changed his mind from favorably 'rcgard- in;lo condemning it.
