was in executive session most OF the
day, but the open session afforded suf-
ficient time for a sharp controversy
over proceeding with Mr. Morgan's
resolution to abrogate' the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. Mr.. Sherman inter-
posed numerous points Of order
against MI. Morgan, and when the
chair sustained these the Alabama SEN
ator referred to his. being victimized
by the presiding officer and Mr. Sher-
man. Mr.. Stevenson retorted sharply
that there was no disposition to "yic-S5

his point and the resolution was taken
up. AS it involved questions of execu-

ecutive session. At 4 o'clock the
open session was resumed and some
progress made on the bankruptcy bill.
