The Fiery Texas Senator Fights the Treaty Hard, 71K TELLS THE SENATE THAT WAR IS FREQUENTLY JCSTIFIA ' RLE, AND THAT THE UNITED STATES MUST NOT BE PUT IN A POSITION WHERE II CANNOT i DEFEND OCR CITIZENS 'OK IN- { S1ST UPON OUR BIGHTS, Washing too, Feb. 15.?The ' foreign re Qatiooa committee ndjouroeA with the majority feeling anything b*t comforta? ble ovei the outlook. Mr. S&erman noti fietl his colleagues that he should move an executive session early 'Xi tne (fay for the purpose of testing tb; sense of the Senate and Intimated, us ho di?J on the lloor last evening, that if there was no possibility of a speedy vote he would no*, further press the consideration e'f treaty . Mr. Sherman made his demand tor an ?executive session a few minutes after tl.e Senate convened, refusing to yield to any? thing but the most routine o: morning business. Early in tit-*- executive session Mr. Chandler offered an amendment to the convention in the shape of an addi? tional article, which 'is in fact adeclar tion. It stittes that both the contracting parties in ivaking this treaty do it for the purpose of cnunciatt ng tho'r India's in the policy of intecuationaJ arbitration, und to bring about, if poselblc, <:>' pol? icy of a geaeral disarmament among the nations. It is further do*, hired ?hat each of the ? contractlvig paittosexpress their willing? ness and intention of making -similar treaties with other nations, Mnclndlng not only those that "are strong'cud able to defetsfl themselves au<? who *heve large military establishments but also with smaller families of nations with whom differences, similar to 1 those ctrrered by this treaty, might arise. Mr. Teller, 0" (Colorado, was 'one of the first soeakers, He ad /orated the post? ponement of -che consideration of th* treaty-until K'.'ter the fourth of March, when the Sconce wouht be in extra session with ample time to lo >k into the instru? ment. Tlic debat< of the infternoua revolved about. 1 question of the proper interpre tatioc of the-'vords used by M.'i> commit? tee in its nev, amendment, wiii'li pro vies that -?all trutters for arbitration shnU llrst be submitted tc. the Swcate for Its appro-, al." What war meant by the word "'a*.) provat" was thequestlou generally asked, and V/ which no satisfactory answer ap? pears to have l)een given. There was a wide difference of opinion as to whethet under the amendment "appro*, al" would have to be -given by a two-thirds vote or by a majority only. Some contended that inasmuch as th? whole Congress h;ul to appropriate the money to meet the ex? penses of arbitration, the Cone;'ess might have a voice in the settlement r f the mat ters to be submitted. There was no reg? ular debate on this subject. It consisted ] entirely of questions and cross questions with absolutely no conclusion being j reached. Senators Gray, Turpl?! Lodge, Sher? man, Daniel, Dav is. Lindsay,Cuffery and Hoar participated. Mr. Cattery to-day, for the lirst time, came out strongly for it and advocated its speedy ratification. Mr. Mills finally got thelhwund made the only set speech of the day. Mr. Mills is ut all times an impetuous ami vehement speaker. lie was unusually free to-daytaml being unrestrained by tlio galleries he unbosomed himself in away that left no doubt about the depths of his opposition to the. treaty. He opposed it 4*11 general grounds for the reason that it. not only went too far, hut was bird in particular. There tvus tout few things, Mr. Mills said, that ought ever to !>e submitted to arbitration, and about the only thing he couf.l recall was the question of pecuni ary claims. Questions involving the life, the integrity, the development of any nation, matters affecting the honor of the nation, its tkig and the protection of fts citizens shoMld never *be arbitrates. A nation that has any standing urn one the peoples of the earth ougtft ever to <ie ready to protect its territory, to .upheld its honor and defend its eitteens ngsstnst the oppression of the foreigner and the tyranny of other governiueri'.s. War>vus frequently justifiable, anil that wa* one reascn why he did not beli've the United States should blnfi itself;in any general treaty of arbitration. Thf United States was a powerful r ation. It was Strong enough tc demand Its rights and it was mighty enough tv> enforce these rights if they were dented. Mr. Mills devoted son e timer.) Cuba, using the situation there as nu illustra? tion of what tin United" States, j -s a pow? erful and brave notion, ought to do, but i which appeared through some mysteri? ous icflnencn to ue afraid 1 > do its solemn duty. After 3'.r. Mills had ccn clude?, the debute ngain drifted back into r?ie conversational character. ^Ir.

War Between Greece and Turkey is Considered Possible. London, Fol?. 18.?It would lie easy to present the array of authentic Informa? tion from Athena and Crete as to Indicate that war is inevitable and close at hand. There arc some observers in all European cities, especially Herlin,who think so and are alarmed accordingly Even the stock markets, which are after all the best baiometors in Europe, indicate for a day or two that a storm hid been pendln?. There is no doubt that if the future developments depend solely ivpon those directly concerned, namely. tho Turks. Greeks and Cretans, there should be fighting within a week on both sen anil land. Everybody knows that the progress of the quarrel is not within the control of those actually involved, and that there | will be no blows exchanged unless at least one of the gl eat powers is willing that war should come. The sohlt ion or the problem really lies in the answer to the question, have the representatives of the six great powers whtapered in the ear of Greece? Now is thet?me to take (bete and we will keep out hands o?. Some 1 md voices in France and tr.uny more in Germany are itcousing England of having done just that thing.
