THE RIGHTS or THE PRESS.
The Publication of Treaties Occasions
Talk in Congress.

WAsmsG10s, Dee. ls.-The Senate, in ex-
ecutivs session this afternoon, besides con-
firming a large number Of nominations, IN
dulged in a spirited debate respecting the
publication ia the public press, Of the Span
ish and NIeaI sguan treaties, which are now
pending. The point was made that the mat
Ter demanded investigation by the Senate.
This was followed by motion 10 that effect,
which proposed that special committee be
appointed for that purpose. Some Senators
were of opinion that the matter should be
referred 10 the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, while others took the ground that
"a the Committee ON Foreign Relations was
the real custodian OF treaties until they were
formally laid before the Senate, that COM
mittee should conduct the investigation.
Neither of the committees named were dis
posed TO assume the responsibility OF
investigating the press Members of
each committee favored the appointment
of a special committee. Finally, during the
debate, prominent Democratic Senator de-
clared that, IN his opinion, the Nicaraguan
treaty leaked out through the Department of
State, not through the United States Senate.
This gentleman, in the course of his remarks,
reflected upon the present administration IN
a manner which brought sharp retort from
the Republican side of the chamber. A
partisan debate was then about to begin
when motion I'd print the Nlcaraguan
treaty IN the Congressional Record was put
and closely followed by another that the
whole matter bee laid upon the table. The
latter motion prevailed and the secret execu-
tive session terminated The doors were
then reopened and consideration of legisla-
tive business was resumed.
