I t'hould have liked to make.it a thoroughly representative number, but with the confusion of bringing two great newspaper forces together it has been impossible. Moreover we have been literally overwhelmed with advertising- so much more of it Mian we had counted upon that our mechanicaldepartments are strained to the breaking point. Naturally I am very happy over this splendid manifestation of generous cooperation on the part of our representative advertisers. With less advertising we should have had room for more reading, but as It is we shall have more reading than most of you will care to wade through if you feel on this point at, all as I do. With zero weather and the influenza to contend with this has been an especially trying time to undertake the prodigious work of consolidating these two great newspapers. But we made the plunge and here is the result not all I had hoped for, but a lot better than the .suspense of inaction. We have an amalgamated paper now to work on, to improve, to polish and perfect. To this task we shall give the best there is in us. And in this purpose I want to tell you of the line loyalty of both THE SUN and THE HERALD newspaper forces and to tell you too of their enthusiastic cooperation with me in bringing about this union. It is their hope and my hope that in the amalgamated SUN and HERALD we shall give you in due time a thoroughly- worthwhile newspaper a newspaper of wide scope and sound purposes. FRANK A.

In a state of suspense and uncertainty. One reason for this Is tho peculiar parliamentary situation respecting Ii turning on some of this Senato rules. Early In to-day's session of tho Sene ate Senator Walsh (Mon.) arose, and with tho explanation that ho spoke In behalf of Senator Hitchcock (Neb.), , who 'was out of town, served notice that on Tuesday, February 10, Senator Hitchcock would move to take up tln treaty for" tho Senate's consideration, thus carrying out the programme adopted when tho efforts to procure u compromise failed yesterday. The announcement occasioned in discussion or Inquiry, ed. far as con cerned proceedings ou the floor. Ali day long conferences and cloakroom' discussions of the situation wero In jirpgress. The most Impressive of the re-ports circulated waB that long be fore February io a move will hav -bte'n made on behalf of tho Republlcaiv leadership to take up the treat and that It probably will prevail. Thus AVoiiId Preserve Control. " Whllq scveia Senators, intimated tha this coureo might Jic adopted, Scuato.t. Lodge (Maes,), Republican leader, wou-( not discuss the suggestion further tna.': to iaj- tfjat .o.f 'ctAirsc. If- vas ofie of- ISf' things thai might happen and to Inti mate that' .If tlw treaty wjia.,haauBhty() .nrall, tt would' be''wIffiout any oojee ' tlons. Senators lvhaomjeatured that a Rc publican move Would bo made to take "rj up the treaty before February 10 pointed out that by this plan tho nepubllcait. leadership would keep tho initiative in Its own hands, Instead of suneiitlerini' It to tho acting Democratic leader. ien; irtor Hitchcock. It was explained tln alllrmatlvo control of' the siiuatio might prove of th"? greatest imcorla -as n mnl'or o Martvcl' and i.trm incntnry tactics. Manugcrs on both tides Ihc party alsl. are busy studying nnd chatting the In teresting parliamentary situation. At tho bottom of their considerations lies always tho question : "Can a simple ma jority of the Senate take up the treaty or does If require a suspension. of..the rules nnd therefore a two-thlrda vote?'' And along with this tho corollary in quiry : "If the treaty Is brought, back before tho Senate does It come with the cloture rulo of last session, under which It wa voted on, still attached to It and rot ci nlng Its future consideration T" Subject to n It ill lug. A to tho first, Republican leaders art) positive that parliamentary regularity arid decent adherence to the rules dt mand a two-thirds vote totalte up the" treaty. But It ts admitted If the Vice President shall rule to the contrary, and If then his ruling shall bo sustained by a majority of the Senato, the rulta ran-. not stand against that decision. Thi Senate Is a law unto Itself. Jn iho cloilng hours of last secession the Senato three tlmo3 overruled the Vice-President, nnd tbJ3 committed Itself to the very position that would inalio a two-thirds voto neeessnry to resume consideration of tho treaty. Several Senators who at that time voted to overrule the Vice-President wou l have to reverse themselves squareiy now. In the view of the parliamentary sharps. If they should undertake to get the treaty up with a mere majority vote. In the view of the parliamentary purists there are Just three ways to get tho treaty onco more before the Senate. One is for Pr-sldent Wilson to withdraw It, and then resubmit It. That would start tho wholo proceeding again de novo. Another Is for the Senate to give unanimous consent to tnko It up. Tho third Is by n two thirds vote to suspend rulo 13 dealing with reconsideration and then take l: up. Onco taken up It would bo In or der for the Democrats to offer a new resolution of ratification with the reser vations they aro willing to accept and press for a vote on these. Itullnir n to Clotnrc.
