SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Democrats Succeed in Forcing an
EXECUTIVE Session.

Executive Session.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis succeeded in forcing an executive
session of the Senate this morning. in
face of the combined Republican OPPOSE
ton. 1t was carried as soon as the Jour
nal was read, 80 to Is, PETER pop. vot-
ing with the Democrats.
After nearly three hours in executive
session the Senate adjourned until to-
morrow afternoon.
A communication was received from
the President concerning the Behrino
Sea case, which set out in narrative form
the proceedings taken up to date before
the court OF arbitration.
There will be a special meeting of tho
Committee on Privileges and Elections
tomorrow, at which the Roach case will
be again taken up, and efforts made tn
reach some conclusion that will be salts

RUSSIAN TREATY.
Alleged Text of the Document Drawn
Up in 1887.

Up in 1887.
WASHINGTON April 1.-THE text or
the alleged text of the extradition treaty
signed by Secretary Bayard and De
strive, Russian Minister in Washington
in 1887, but which failed of ratification bv
the Senate, principally because of the
strong opposition raised TO Article Ill,
defining political ofenses, is published
here this morning, apparently with the
view of eliciting expressions OF public
opinion.
The same alleged text was published IN
some New York papers six years ago,
and is believed to be accurate. Article
III. is the article which the Republican
Senators, it is said. now desire should be
made public, N parallel columns with the
corresponding article of the amended
treaty, which the Senate ratified last ses-
sion. The article in question as submitted
in 1887 is as follows:
Article III. If it be made to appear that
extraditlon is sought with the view to
try, or punish a person, on demand for
an ottenSe of political character. the
surrender shall not take place, nor Shall
any person surrendered be tried, or pun
lshed, for any political onense committed
previously to his eXtradltion, nor for any
otfense other than that for which extradi-
ton Is granted; nor shall the surrender of
any person be demanded for an otlense
committed prior to the date at which this
convention shall take effect. Murder or
manslaughter, com prising the willful or
negligent killing of a sovereign or chief
magistrate OF q State or any member of
his family, as well as an attempt to COM
init or participate in said crimes, shall not
be considered an 0tlenSe OF political
character.
1t pointed out the modification of Arti-
Gle ILL.,. as adopted in the treaty, which
now awaits exchange or ratitications to
strengthen its declarations as to political
oflenses against sovereign or chief mag
lstrate, but makes no concessions in favor
of Russia not reciprocated i'll favor of the
United States. The actual text of this
part of the treaty, as it now stands, is as
follows:
The attempt upon the life of the head
OF either Government, or against that of
any member of his family, when such
attempt comprises the act either of mur-
der or assassination or of poisoning, shall
not be considered political 0ifense or an
at connected with such oflenso.
Article II. OF the treaty of 1887 contains
this: The crime of forgery, by which is
understood the utterance of forged papers
and also tie counterieiting of public.
sovereign or Governmental Acts" 1t is
understood this definition is retained in
the amended treaty ratified by the Sen
ate. The opponents of the treaty contend
that under this definition persons will be
extraditable for using false passports or
passports issued in an assumed name.
which is said to be very common prac-
tice of persons who believe their true
names would excite the suspicion of the
Russian authorities.
