WASHINGTON CITY, March 23.-Duriug
the past week the executive sessions Of the
senate have been largely devoted to consd.
erinS the most feasible plan Of preventing
the publication of executive secrets, and dur
ing Fridays session the subject was kotly
discussed. Some senator's favored making
it penal oifense for any newspaper to pub
lish the proceedings of executive sessions.
and some took the ground that it would
probably be better to exclule from the priv
iloges Of the reporters gallery of the senate
representatives Of all journals which should
publish such matters. All sorts Of theories
We're entertained and EXPIRE sed by the seq
ators as to how correspondents obtain suffi
cient Information upon which to accurately
report the action Of the senate during excu-
tive sessions. Some went so far as to assert
their belief that some person entitled to be
present at executive s'>si is had been en-
ablei to live "a luxurious life at the expense
Of the press, in consideration of services
rendered in this direction. Said one senator
in conversation Oh this subject: "Why, if
it is possible, tho reports Of q cret sessions
ere more correct in sl,no instances than the
secrets of open sessions made by the Off ial
stenographer Another senator sai that
there wore. he be.ievci. Sufficient yotes in
the senate to pas, a Law making the publ
cation Of executive sessions by newspapers
penal ofTense.
The discussion was concluded Satur-
day by the adoption of a
resolution prepared by the comm'tt,e K
on rules and submitted by Frye, The r,so-
luton extends the junction Of secrecy to each
step in the consideration of treaties, inclui-
ing the fact OF ratification, and provides
that no modification ot this class of the rules
ought to be made; that secrecy as TO the
fact OF ratification of treaty may be OF the
utmost Importance and ought not to he re-
mnntd except by order of the senate, or I'M
til it has been male pdblio by proclamation
