Treaty TO the public on Wednesday talked about the in
Jury that had been done tho dignity and honor of the
Senate in the premature publication of document
which had been transmitted to that body in confidence
and they favored the appointment of committee in

or members Of the has violated the rules No one
blamed THE TRIBUNE correspondent for sending the
Treaty. They probably "knew how 1t was themselves"
During the debate the whole subject of reporting Execu-
tive sessions was discussed every Senator who spoke
.oemny expressing the opinion that Senators were in
duty bound not to divuge the proceedings in Executive
session.

Committee is reported TO have threatened to summon
every correspondent "Newspaperrow," and to probe

them up, put ONtI anu VII

poiRted for tomorrow.
The Foreign Committee held another long session to-
day, and resumed the consideration Of the Treaty.
Much progress made; but 1t was not possible to
complete the examination in time present the result
10 the Senate Another meeting will be held tomorrow,
and the Committee expect TO be able 10 report the
Treaty TO the Senate Monday, to which time the EN
seutye session was adjourned Thus ia the Committee
has made no changes amendments and as nearly all
Of the Articles have been passed members Of the Com
mittee believe there will be changes, and that the
Treaty will he reported back favorable in the shape
IN which II was received.

pared THE TRBUNE's copy with the official document
and found only co verbal One is in the 2Oth line
Of Article l. as printed in THE TRIBUNE where you had
generally" instead Of "0enericaly" and the other
vas in the first line Of Article 49, where you printed
"prvate" instead Of present" The rsi OF ese errors
The World ecpics! The second plain that it was
corrected the context Earl de Grey and the whole
Commission are astOnished at the mechanical accuracy
Of the thing.
