Jan. 13 It looks as though the latlflcation of the new arbi tiutlon treaty by the senate might be long delajed. There am senatois, in deed, who predict that congiess will adjourn without action on the tieaty and that it may have to be wlthduiwn for levislon. This is n state of affalis which will doubtless be something of a sin prise to the countiy and which w 111 aftord anv thing but pleasure to Secretury Olney. The intent of the tieaty Is so good and It makes so l emote the. possibility of win between Cleat Britain and the United States that those who have gieoted Its signing with a shout of ap pioval will liave some difficulty In un dei standing how it is that the senate should hesitate at all about the ratifica tion. But the senate is a peculiar and crotchety body, with a vety high opin ion of Its own prerogatives and with little Inclination to accept thu Judg ment or outsiders. The tieaty will be held up foi llgld examination, and if the sentiment which has been freely expressed continues' to prevail It may be held up for a long time. pressure from outside. It Is too much to say that the rejec tion of the treaty Is probable. Tie mendous pressuie will he biought to bear upon the senate fiom commetclal Interests, religious bodies and peace associations Just as soon as an In timation goes out that there Is any hes itation about ratlfv Ing, Before this piessure technical objections may melt away, and senatois may be willing to accept the geneial piovlslons of a con vention which does not suit them In details. But manv senators are at pres ent Inclined to a veiy stilct and thor ough o ei hauling of the document. There is no expressed objection to the geneial theorv of arbitration. Sena tois would welcome a satlsfactoiy ai langeinent which would do away with the piobabillty of war without too great a sin lender on the part of the United States, but they are naturally suspicious of a document which .seems so plausible at Mist sight; they feai the Gieeks beailng gifts. This mav be ac countable in pait for a general ten dency to cilticlse the tieaty, but some of the objections lalsed demand setl ous consideration. SILVERITES OBJECT, rirst of all, the silver senatois are Inclined to ciltlclsm. It would not help the flee silver cause if such re latlons weie to be established between Gieat Btltaln and the United States as would make for eternal peace. Sil ver agitation tin Ives on the splilt of leslstance to Biltlsh nggiesslon. ine leading slhei agltatois welcome Ill inois of war. In the belief that one of the flist results of hostilities with any countrj would be the pieclpltntlon of the United States upon a sllvei basis. The slhei senatois will not avow that they aie nctuuted by motives of this kind, but it Is significant that almost without exception the moio conspicu ous among them have been piotrmt to raise objections to the tieaty and to tluovv out daik hints that the United States might make a grave mistake In binding itself to such a convention. Senator Tellei, Senator Cannon, Sena tor Pettlgiew and otheis of the fiee silver men Intimate that it would be just ns well to wait nwhlle befoie jumping into nn niiangement which may prov e an thing but advantageous to the United States. A WHACK AT CLEVELAND. Senator Coiman says the tientv will be a long time pending in the senate, and a .slmllat opinion Is expressed by almost eveiy other scnatoi who has anything to say about It. The lawyeis In the senate say It Is extremely doubt ful whether the sjstem of nppeals pio vlded for in the treaty is outlined with sufilclent distinctness to make It prac ticable Another consideration which tells with a good many sliver Demociats is the fnct that Gtover Cleveland legaids the treaty as the crowning work of his administration, and they would like to blunt Cleveland's plensuie by post poning latlflcation until a new ad mlnlbtratlon has come in.

He was leluctant to talk on the sub ject, and from all that could be learned fiom him It would be Intel red that it is doubtful If he would lelinqulsh his judicial dutlOs to accept a cabinet po sition, as he Is well pleased with his piesent congenial work.

C , Jan IS It is gen erally conceded thnt Senator Quay must be consulted in every Instance ro garding the Pennsylvania patronage to be distributed bv the new adminls tiatlon. Stiong evidence of the fact has been seemed from a Pennsylvania v Isltor today. This gentleman Is a candidate foi an appointment fiom Piesident McKinley and lecently visited Canton for a con sultation In the matter. In ordei to ascertain the views of the president elect with legaid to Senator Quay this gentleman asked if the senatoi's In dorsement would be required. The an awet was emphatically In the aflltma tlve Continuing, the piesldent-elect said: "Scnatoi Qua Is not only one of our sttongest .Republican leadeis, but he is a pow.ei in Pennsylvania. As you aio an applicant for this appointment you should hnve Senator Quay's indoise ment among voui papeis." SHERMAN TO BE PREMIER. is Congressman Crosienor Siijs It Settled, mid He Ought to Know.

"I thoroughly undeistand Mi. Me Klnlev 's views on the tai Iff," he said, "and It was not necessaiy for me to discuss that subject with him I did talk with him about the cabinet situa tion.

I want to sav also th.it Scnatoi Shei- mnn's appointment to the state depait ment Is not contingent upon the ap pointment of Mi. She! man's, successor In the senate. That does not enter Into it " Speaking fuithei, General Grosven or said that Senator Allison was not asked to take the state portfolio; that he was ofteied the ticasuiy poitfollo and declined it. Mr. Giosvenor said that Congressman DIngley was out of the question in connection with the treasuiy depaitment because of his health. The geneial said that the new taillf bill will be leadv for Intioductlon at the extra session of congiess which Piesident MeKlnlev will call in Match. Washington, Jan. 13. The senate spent the Hi at two liouis of todiy's ses sion behind closed doois in the consld eiatlon ot executive business (the ex tiadltion treaty with Aigentine Re public) and the remainder of the day was occupied by Mr. Bacon,' of Geor gia, on the question whether the rec ognition of a new power was nil execu tive Or a legislative act. Hl conten tion was that It was a legislative func tion; only exclusively foi deter minn tlon. Even where the lecognltlnn was by the piesident, Its validity; Mr Ba con nigued, was deilved from the as sent of congiess either direct oi im plied. If the piesident had such exclu sive powei it was greater than any which any constitutional monnich yielded. Nevei, he said, was challenge of the power more sharply made than that by the secretaiy of state, In the mattei, and never was defiance of au thority moie boldly given. Mr. Bacon confined himself to the constitutional and bgal points in the nigument, refiaining fiom eveiy allu sion to the piactlcal question of rec ognizing the lepubllc of Cuba. He spoke for nearly tout hours No ac tion was taken on Mr. Mills' resolu tion recognizing Cuba. A bill ap pointing the secietaiy of the tieasuiy, the secretin1 of the interior and tin attorney general a commission to set tle the debt of the Pacific rallioad to the government was introduced by Mi. Geai, of Iovvn, clnlrman of the com mittee on Pncllic rallioads, was te feried to that committee. At D 10 the senate adjourned until tomorrow. THE TRIUMPH Or OLEO. The house spent today In vvoik on the cale'ndai and pasbed a nunibei of minor bills by uninlmous consent. The bill providing that oleomargarine and other imitation dairy products shall be subject to the laws of the states or tei lltoiles into which they aie transport ed was sprung unexpectedly. Stiong opposition developed at once vv Itli the lesult that after a long wrangle a de mand for the previous question on the passage of the bill was voted down by a narrow majority. The house then ad journed until tomorrow, EXTRADITION TREATIES The senate"today devoted wo "hours to the consideration of the request of Secretaiy Olney for an amendment to the extiadltion tieatles with the Oi ange Fiee States and Argentina Re public, ratified Monday, by the Insei tion of a clause requiring each govern ment to give up Its own citizens on ex tiadltion demanded bj the other gov ernment a paitv to the tteatv. This language appeals In none of om tiea tles, and was so out of the usual order of things that it piecipitated a long debate, participated In bv Senatois Moigan, Sherman, Chandler, Hoar and others These senatois took the posi tion that each government was the judge of its own lights In such cues Senator Davis also spoke at come length in opposition to the lequest of the secretaiy. It was shown that this countiy had never given up its own citizens, and the -senate held that the language asked for was unnecessary At the conclusion of the debate, no foimal action was taken, nut It was evident that the senate would decline to make the amendment asked foi, and the tieaty will stand as ratllled Mondnv last.

I'urr in the Democratic Cum p. Philadelphia, Jan. 13 Local conven tions foi the nomination of candidates for magistiates and councilmen weie held today by both parties The Re publican convention was held In Indus trial hall and was uneventful, four candidates being nominated for magis trates, the nominations being equival ent to election. The fight in the Re publican ranks was made on council men between the Quay and anti-Quay factions On the surface the result was a vlctoiy for the anti-Quay people, as the Quay men, while they suffeied no seiious losses, were not so successful as they predicted. In stiong continst to the Republican convention, the Democratic convention at the Academy of Music was a llvelj affair and at times partook of a minia ture f-Dnnrubiopk -fair, frompersonnl encounters which occuired between the delegatus and their U lends. Also in contrast to their Republican rivals the light between the Democratic factions was made on magistiates and not on councilmen It was a drawn battle, as both the faction w hlcli has been identi fied with Mr Harrity and their oppo nents headed bv Courrtv Commissioner Thomas J, Rvan and Congressman William McAleer, each succeeded In nominating one of the two candidates foi magistiates Magistiate Chailes Donnellv (Hnrrltv) was re-nomlnated and John II Keennu (antl-Hniiltv) was made his companion on the ticket Theii nomination is also equivalent to election by reason of the mlnoiitv rep resentation law.
