of $960.000 over last year's total.
The hill is accompanied by the most
comprehensive report ev?r submitted
by the com mit toe.
Many radical changes i.re proposed,
including reorganization of the weath?
er bureau and preparation by the sec
it iary of agriculture of a plan for re?
organising and systematizing depart?
ment work. The report stts forth that
MM dt i' itnieiit Is "now developed to
A point where Its present System of
bureau organization has become cum

as it should be." and the bill contem?
plates that existing bureaus sh ?uld be
renrnniu'ed to cover live or si:: main
line* i f werk, such as the research,
rurnl organization. State relations,
rather and forest service.
The bill appropriates $21,000 to en?

States und Other Countries Seems
Assured?Discussion Behind Closed
Doors.
Washington, Feb. 10.? Extension of
genera] arbitration treaties with for
? ign nations as the hrst move in the
general policy of the administration
to rehabilitate foreign relations of
the United States seemed assured to
ijight after the senate had taken up
consideration Of expired treaties and
had closely defined issues involved
In the situation confronting the na?
tion.
Before the debate in the senate be
gan on treaties with Great Britain.
Japan. Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden,
Portugal and Bwltserland, Prealdent
Wilson had conferred with senators
ami representatives about the treaties
as well as the paramount issue of
Panama canal tolls. He was assured
that the loaders of both houses would
\ < te to repeal the toll exemption for
American ships after the treat is had
been ratified.
During his conferences the presi?
dent explained that it was the uni?
versal view of Piuropean nations that
the United states have violated the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty by ihe exemp?
tion clause in the Panama canal act.
He said no otticiai representation to
that effect, had been presented, in
fact th re had been no protest dar?
in:; the present administration, but
he knew the impression was broad?
cast In Europe that the United States
was becoming remiss in the keeping
of treaty obligations.
In the se nate the lines of dernarka
tlon as to the foreign policy of the
government were drawn sharply when
Senator Chumberlain Of Orgeon SUb
mittett a genor.ii amendment to all
pending treaties, which would exempt
from arbitration Ly The Hague tri?
bunal the following subjects:
Admission of aliens into the United
States.
Admission of alien children Into the
schools of the various States (involv?
ing the Japanese question e>n the i*:l -
citic coast).
All questions arising from the Mon
roo eloclrine.
Provision of the Panama canal act
exempting American coastwise ship?
ping from tolls.
l ? is? usslon of the subject, enlivened
the :-enate b< hind closed doors as it
has not been moved In many days,
and a clash between Senators O'Gor
m in and lioot of Now York marked
the climax of heated debate. Senator
O'Gorman assailed the Carnegie en?
dowment 'for international peace, of
which Senator Root is president de?
claring that its prime motive was B
corrupt motive-; that it diel not seek
to promote international peace, but
to create an International alliance be
tween Great Britain and the United
States to benefit officials who would
proiit from such a consummation.
Senator Root, taking the remarks of
his colleague as a personal offense,
res? nted them In vigorous language
and precipitated a long discussion.
Senator Shivery, acting chairman of
the foreign relations committee, called
up the treaties when the i ui ? had
proceeded to conslderatior of execu?
tive business, and In a sp.-e-. > outlin?
ing the importance of restoring the
relationship of the United States with
other great powers of the world ap?
pealed to the senate to disregard local
Issues for the common welfare. He
offered a resolution that the treaty
with Spain Which had expired after
flV'C years' existence be extended witll
out amendment. This was in accord?
ance with the plan of Hie committee
to thresh oui all the issues before s
vot i is taken on any of the treaties,
K being the purpose to leave the Unt?
il h and .Japanese treaties until the
last.
After the executive session Senator
Shlvcly an I others asserted thai the
situation was well in hand and pre?
dicted ratification of all 'he treaties bj
a comf ?table majority.
Senator Chamberlain opened the
light against the treaties on behalf o.
Democrats who are opposod to a re
peal of the free tolls provision of the
Panama ? anal act. Ho declared oppo?
sition to ail arbitration pacts on th
general ground thai this government
should no! submit any American qucs
