THE AMERICAN TREATIES.
EMASCULATED BY THE SENATE. (Press Association.— Copyright.) WASHINGTON, March 8. The Senate, by two votes, emasculated the English and French arbitration treaties. The clause entailing a joint commission to decide upon what questions to arbitrate was rejected. The defeat of the clause by a margin composed of Democrats leads Mr Taft to hope for a reversal following the National Convention. SENATE DEMANDS CONSULTA- . TION. (Received March 9, 8.45 a.m.) WASHINGTON, March 8. Without the clauses limitating the tireaty-making po%vers of the Senate, the Anglo-American and Franco-Ameri-can Arbitration treaties were ratified by a vote of 76 to 3. President Taft did not comment on the Senate's action. The treaties are now referred back to France and England.
