The Treaty Investig ig0tIon.
Special Dispatch to The EUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Charges having been made
in various quarters that the copy of the Treaty of
Washington which found its way into the newspa-
peIs p was 1 given out either by Senator Morton of
the Senate to-day and stated that they were ready
to go before the special committee OF the Senate
and be examined on the subject. 1t was suggested
that all the senators were furnished with copies in
advance by the State Department
The Senate went into executive session. The un-
derstandDg is, however, that all the Senators who
had advance copies will voluntarily go before the
committee to explain what they did with them.
This fact only complcates the more, for the
general belief is that the treaty got out through
some Senator's copy having been stolen. Many
Senators now express regret that the matter was
started, and thai it has been pushed 80 far 1t is
the intention of the chairman OF the committee to
go ahead and investigate the manner in which the
protocol got out. The Senate has finally gone TO
work on the treaty, and it is thought will go on with
1t until it Is disposed OF.
