ADDENDA.

The Isthmian Canal treaty was ratified by the Senate on December 16 by a vote of 72 to 6.

On December 17 Charles Emory Smith, of Pennsylvania, resigned as Postmaster General, and Henry C. Payne, of Wisconsin, was appointed to succeed him.

In the Senate, on pages 301 and 302, Wellington, of Maryland, and McLaurin, of South Carolina, should be Independents and not Democrats. Wellington was elected as a Republican, but disagreed with the McKinley foreign policy, and in 1900 supported Bryan. He is not accepted in the caucuses of either party. McLaurin was elected as a Democrat, but broke with his party on the Philippine question, he supporting the administration policy. The summary at the head of the table would then be: Republicans, 54; Democrats, 31; Independents, 2; Silverite, 1; vacancies, 2; total, 90.
