Washington Despatch The Miffed States Senate has reelected the peace treaty. Six maths of Senate session, the Peesident's two trips to Paris, the long, negotiations over there, the President's tour of the wet, culminating in his breakdown, all came to nauglet to -night when Senator Lodge had a reansideretion motten tabled, 'afid so Wiled UM treaty, Tite Senate adjourned sine die, aftel: winding 1,m ,some rotitine mates, fol- lowing the slaughter of the treaty six months to a day after the President had called them in special assion to consider the great treaty. The United States alone among the great powers that shared in halting the Germanic dream of world dominion has rejected the treaty that was to inttke it impos- sible for any nation again to plunge the world into war. The end came with dramatic suddenness after a see - sten that hed endured all day and far -into the night, The day's iecidente started with the reading,of President letter 'to Senator Hitchcock Letting him that the Lodge reserva- tions amounted to a nallification of the treaty„and inferentially 'Advising the treaty's friends to vote against the inutilated and aistorted covenant. The treaty, as Lodge framed, it, was ac- cordingly voted &retie twice. The Democrats fought to the end for an opportunity to reach a compromise, and for a time at least it looked as it a compromise weuld be arrived at, but Lodge administered. the •death blow without permitttng even the change in the preamble he had pre- pared to meet the President's objection coming to a vote. "AND THEY KILLED IT." "The treaty is dead, so far as this Senate is concerned," saki Mr. Lodge to -night, after the session was 'ad- journed sine die. "In the new session the President can withdraw the treaty from the Senate and resubmit it for ratification or rejection." • It was held by :Mr. Lodge that it • was not necessary for the Senate to notify the President in any way that the Peace Treaty has been rejected. Senator Hitchcock took the contrary view, and insisted there should be a resolution adopted prior to adjourn- ment,informing the Presitlent of the • action taken by the Senate. "And they killed it," said Mr. Lodge, referring to tb.e course pursued by the Damara.% "as I told them they would do if they voted against my re- solution of ratification." 6 The Democrats contested tire motion to adjourn sine die and forced a roll call, but were voted down by a com- bination of Republicans and caaeper- tarteina.gtyDemocrats who opposed the DENIES TREATY IS DEAD., Senator Hitchcock denied the treaty was dead. He add the President could send it back to theSenateagain, but admitted he did not know what the executive plans to do. Senator Hitchcock thought it signifi- emelt thathis own resolution of ratiti- ,cation had fewer' rotes in 'Oppositioh than the Lodge resolution. "I think the Repubticans have work- ed themselves in an awkward posi- tion," Senator Hitchcock •deelared. "They aro split in the Senate and in the country en this proposition.
