If there has ever been any. doubt as to the1 ratifica tion of the peace treaty, it now seems to be entirely removed. The debate going on the executive i m session of the senate is graduaily re-1 dudng the opposition. Chairman Davte jStated r this after- noon that the had not the least doubt as to; the result; nor did . Ahe believe It wwuld be necessary to pass any of the pending resolutions as conditions pre- cedent to raitiiflcatlon.

ENEMIES IN QUAY GAUIP Opposition Claims that Fif teen Quay Qotes will Soon Fall Away. Harrisburg, Jan. 82. "Every day that Quay faifhs of election weaken him," said one of his QJeUtenants today. The democrats and antis balked the alleged scheme of the Quay men to break their pairs today by staying away from the assembly, thus prevent ing a quorum. . It is expedbed tha on- Tuesday ,the anti-Quay men will make an important move. The claim is made that two In dependent leaders will faring over ten or fifteen men who liave- been voting for Quay, but whom it. has not-been deemed wise to uncover earlier: Ised Americans. An agreement on these podnltis, he said, should be, one of tfh-e concessions to the Spanish commisN sioners which he considered generous. He did not think the total of such claim would exceed twelve millions. Whpn Renaifcor Prve sooke about a twenty million, bonus to be paid to Spain, he precipitated quite a discus sion. Senator Mason wanted to know if Spain could turn over to us the im provements in the Philippines for the paymenit of which the $20,000,000 was intended. Senator Davis imsisted that it made no difference as the money was intended as a mere condition of the t reajty. 1 . Mason grew excited over - the fact that Spain could not "deliver xne g-oods," as the Filipinos held them, and then T$lmam wanted to know if Fryet, would be willing to eee our troops fire on 'the insurgents in order to force American sovereignity. Senator Frye answered he did not expect a conflict to come, but ir it aiu the obstructionists in the senate would be (responsible for the 'tragedy. Senator Frye explained other feat ures of the treaty, and specially the "open door" policy. He urged a speeuy ratification, pointing out that the fail ure to ratify would embarrass the gov ernment. The treaty must be ratified and then the government,, fcaving a clear title, would deal wltbv tttte insurgents in a way, he predicted,' -thai1, would bring peace and happiness to the Filipinos. clerks. It transpires that twenty years a; a clerk named Peters,- who had con tracted a gambling debt, stole a 590! note from the identical drawer from" which the money was taken on Mon day. Peters handed the ' note : to a friend in a, neighboring little public house, and sent him immediately to the Bank of England -to cash it. This was successfully done, but wheni the messenger returned Peters asked him what name ne had written on the back of the note.- "My own, of course," he friend re plied. Peters retorted: "The devil you did! Then I'm off," and seizing the money started at once for! Liverpool, wnere he was arrested as he was starting for New York. Started Poor bu: Now Has an Income of $8,000 a Day End of a Very Bitter Fight Helena, Moot, Jan. 28. The most desperate, bitterly contested political fight in the history of the west nded today, when W. A. Clark of Butte. was elected United 'Staite senator by a vote of 54 to 27 for -Conrad, the can didate of Marcus Daly, Clark's hated rival. - Eleven republicans voted for Clark and broke the deadlock.

The republicans explained their votes by claiming that the deadlock was delaying?- needed 'legislation and $hey against Jhe "Anaconda Copper King," who w&S becomfng ,to$ much of .an oc topus in Montana politics. It is understood an effort will be made to unseat Clark on the plea that: money was used freely int the cam paign.
