Mr, Lodge said there cnibl bf BO doubt but that every senator had made up his mind how he should rote, and any further delay would In-a waste , of time and an exhibition of a desire to pre teat action of any sort. The speech of Senator Lodge was an effort to "uliell the bushes" and it was successful iu driving into the open the ! enemies of the treaty, lie was at once Confronted w ith a retort from S-nator 1 Teller and Senator Stewart to the effect tliut uu vote could bf bad.
