The House May Object to Giving Spain $20,000,000. ~ Washington, D. 0., Dec. 27.-It is re- garded as certain that the peace, treaty will be ratified by the Senate soon af- tel it is reported on by the foreign re- lations committee. The treaty will be sent. by the presi- dent to the Senate on January 4, and referred at once to the committee which will return a. favorable report. it is thought, in a few days, and the Senate will ratify before March 4. The opposition is losing strength. Should the treaty not be ratified be- fore March 4, an extra session of the new Senate will be immediately con- vened for the purpose of disposing of the treaty, and will be ratified by that body. The most serious obstacles to the carrying out of the treaty’s provisions will be found in the House, where the Democrats oppose the giving of twenty million dollars to Spain. Many of them are also against the acquisition of the Philippines, but the opposition will probably rest on the objection of paying Spain money. Purse of $10,009 for the Pope.
