Lose Lane and Ashurst Votes. The speech of Senator Lane pointed to the loss of a vote counted by the Democratic leaders. Mr. Lane has not done any talking.

Those who sounded him learned only that he Was studying the subject. Friday he Spoke in strong terms against the President's policy. Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, also has resolved all doubts in his mind'by stating boldly that he intends to vote against repeal. Early in the debate the Arizona senator favored repeal, but a study of the question convinced him he was wrong. conviction reached by the Arizona senator 'was so strong that during a conference with of State at the Capitol shortly after that official had criticised the Baltimore platform, Mr.

No Yielding to Great Britain. Yesterday Mr. Ashurfet announced deft, initely and finally, that he would vote against repeal, and vote to sustain the American' principle and give the 1 -United States the right to. handle its. own affairs in its own way, untrammeled by demands from the British or any other elgn office, even when backed up by the personal plea of a Democratic President of the- United States.
