The proceedings in the Executive session of
the Senate to-day, require only brief mention. Ihe
Treaty was favoraby reported by the Chairman Of the
Committee on Fer ign Relations r Cameron) without
any recommendation amendment. When that gentle
man had made few remarks, he was followed by sen
tor Norton who explained certain parts Of the Treaty in
response to inquiries No general debate has as yet
been opened upon the subject the proceedings thus far
having been merely of preliminary character.
The Senate refused to take up the resolution hereto
fore red providing for reporting lin conadence) the
debate the Treaty of Washington by the Official re-
porters Of the Senate the report 10 be subject 10
future disposition by that body. One OF the objections
against the resolution that debate would be thereby
prolonged as Senators might desire in future time
to their speeches in print Besides, it was thought
best complete the action the Treaty soon prac
tcable
There are many spCculatons MS TO the result OF the
final vote but the general belief is that the Treaty will
be ratified said the Democrats met tonight TO talk
over the subject especially TO the principles of inter
national law involved. ard further that instead of
Rcyeriy johnson being opposed 10 the Treaty, as re-
ported he earnestly desires that may be ratified by the
Senate.
Much surprise was manifested this afternoon in Off
ca circles consequent ON the report that the Statement
Of the Joint High Commission had, like the Treaty pre-
maurey found its way into the newspapers by some
gentlemen this was considered unfortunate beleyingi
would not strengthen the Treaty, While others, who
claimed knowledge Of the document, expressed con-
trary opinion Several OF the Senators informed
Of the reported publication and were not slow in ex
pressing their disapproya OF the alleged occurrence
which, they said was the TO be regretted, as the
subject involved the question Of continued peace
between the two countries, and violated the
confidence which usually attached TO the consideration OF
such important diplomatic documents. So FAR, however,
there is no evidence OF such breach in the quarter
which the report designated The statement Is properly
REGARDED as an important document. 1t contains the
views OF the Commissioners both sides being sum
mary OF the points presented during the negotiation
some of which were modified by the respective parties
in the way Of compromise explained so as to avoid
all doubts which may arise in the future as TO the actual
understanding Of the provisions Of the Treaty, the
Joint statement serving a key to the Treaty itself
