Senate Will Probably Take Vote on the Measure Some - Time Next Tuesday. a AGREEMENT WITH MORGAN. Demtfcrstic Senators Will Urfe Ameod roent to 23rd Article, Rellevlm It of All Question as to Right of U. S. to Control the Canal. By Telegraph to the MorntaK star. Washington, March 41. Decided progress was made today towards reaching an agreement for a vote on the Colombian Canal treaty, and when the Senate adjourned a few minutes before 4 there was a general under standing that to-morrow, in all prob ability, aome hour next Tuesday would be definitely agreed upon aa the time when a vote should be taken upon the treaty ind ail amendments. All state ments to this effect were, however, ac companied by the announcement that there were yet some details to be ar ranged, leaving it impossible to abso lutely conclude the agreement before to-morrow. There is, however, no doubt in the minds of leading senators that the vote will be taken on Tuesday. The arrangement was brought about largely by Senator , Frye, who by vir tue of long service with Senater Mor gan on tbe Committee on Foreign Re lations has come to be on Jterms of great intimacy with the Alabama Senator. No other senator ' has so far shown any disposition to delay the final disposition of the treaty so that all that was necessary was to secure Mr. Morgan's assent to taking tbe vote. The negotiation was begun early ia lb day, and after Senators Frye and Morgan had been closeted for soma time the latter sought out Sena tor Gorman and talked the situation over with him. Tbe result of these and other conferences was the an nouncement at the close of the day's session of the strong probability of a ole oa Tuesday. Senator Morgan exacted consent to tbe printing In tbe Congressional Re cord of the remarks which he has pre pared, giving his best recollection of speeches he haa made in the executive sessions of the Senate on the treaty. These speeches are contained in the pamphlets sent to the senators yester day byMr.Morgan.They have been read by a number of Republican senators who sy they find nothing objection able, and that there is no reason why they should not be printed except that tbey bear upon a treaty, which is al ways considered-secretly. They gen erally, however, advise that permis sion bo given-to print, in order to save time, which they consider now more important than the conservation of senatorial etiquette. Democratic senators have practi cally agreed unanimously to urge an amendment to the 231 article of the treaty, relieving It of all question as to the right of the United States to control the canal and they - express confidence in obtaining aome Republican votes for it Many senators also express the conviction that the change in the treaty committing the United Btates to a policy of lion-acquisition of Central American territory should be elimina ted as entirely out of place. The in dications are, however, that tbe treaty will be ratified without modification in any particular, , --. The agreement made to-day does not bear upon the Cuban treaty in any re spect except that it opens the way for its early consideration in the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Rela tions will meet to-morrow in order to take it op with a view of reporting it to the Senate, The Democrats will mike an effort to consider (he Cuban treaty both in committee and in the Senate, so as to require action by tbe House, and they alao threaten to an tagonize it with the French reciprocity treaty which is quite objectionable to many Kepuoncan senators. The indications, however. . are that the Cuban agreement will soon be reported by the committee. That it will have auch smooth sailing in the Senate is not quite so certain. Four or five Democratic senators are favorable to it, but while there Is only one Republican senator who has an nounced his Intention to vote- against it there are a number who are indif ferent to its fate. - It appears now as if it would be difficult to hold a quorum of the Senate In Washington while tbe treaty is under eonsideratlon. If a auornm cannot be held it will be i impossible to secure its ratificsliop, for there is sumcient opposition to require this conformity with the rules of the Senate. ... Senator Morgan continuea his re marks in the Senate to-day in opposi tion to the canal treaty, but moat of the time was given up to the reading of documents by the clerk at Mr. Mor gan's request The few remarks made by him related to the unsanitary con ditions of tbe vicinity of the Panama canal and to the division of the money to be paid to Colombia by the United States. The Guatemala and Mexican extra dition treaties were ratified. The understanding among members of the Committee on Foreign Rela tions is that none of the reciprocity treaties before the committee should be reported for consideration this ses sion, and that the Cuban treaty will be the last to receive the attention of the committee for the preaent.
