treaty, though Mr. Nelson tßep Minn..) made a long speech in which he criticised the convention as making insufficient provision or the trade of the United States. He said it indicated that the band of Russia had been shown against this country, making it impossible for the United States to receive the concessions needed in the way of open ports. Ho said that the po.ts of Mukden and Antung. which are opened under the treaty provisions are in fact inland ports, accessible only to vessels of light draft. He blamed Russia for fhis condition of affairs

and warned the seaale that we may j yet have trouble with that country over the M?.::ehur;a:i (y’ostion, wldeh . he said had been responsible for the I inability ot th-? United States plenipo-| tent'arie.s to obtain the opening of othc- import '.nt ports under more fav- • or.tblc conditions. The attitude taken by Mr. Nelson was upheld in speech' s by a number of other s ■ '.rh or.\ a'.lh .ugh it was ar- , sued at the same time that this treaty I is an o.iterir wedge to our trade ami • that it was the lest China was able to. do under Russian duress. Mr. Lodge, i of Massachusetts. urged the import-1 ance of having the treat., ratified at I once and slid that the state depart i tnent cor.red immediate action as essential. He declared that the ratification probably would have a bearing ; on the settlement of the far Eastern | question. Senators Morgan. Cullom. Spooner and a number agreed with Mr. 1 edge. It was stated 1 y some of the speaker; that if Russia had objection to the treaty it had not been apparent and on the contrary it was said that she had openly expressed her up proval of it. There was no division on I the motion to ratify. — A \ ivioU . i i». a.
