WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-For at leas-
half of the one and one-half hours the
senate was in secret session Tuesday
the press reports of Mondays session
were the subject of the discussion.
Senators were indignant that after
they had voted so overwhelmingly
that the doors should be closed, the
| facts as they occurred in the chamber
should be permitted to reach the public.
The discussion was precipitated imme-
| diately after the consideration of few
nominations by Mr.. Vest asking if the
treaty was to be considered in execu.
tive session and adding that if it
was it would be well for the senate
to ascertain if it really was in secret
session. Mr.. Vest continued to COM
ment rather sarcastically upon the light
that had been thrown upon the pro-
ceedings, but admitted accuracy of
the press reports. The discussion
waxed warm and was participated in
by Senators Hill, Pugh, Hoar, Cal
linger, Hale, Teller, Stewart and
others.
After this discussion had ceased sew.
eral amendments were offered and
without being read went over to be
printed. Senator Morgan had several
and Senator Stewart, of Nevada, sent
a handful to the clerks desk. There
will be innumerab amendments be-
fore the discussion is over. Conserva-
tive senators Tuesday said that it
was apparent this debate was to
be kept up for some time and
| hn oh hof
could be had until after the 4th OF
March. From the 4th Of March until
the extra session is convened the sem
ate will be in session considering nom
nations, and if the treaty has not been
disposed of by that time it will proba-
bly, be discussed every day. 1t will
not be withdrawn by Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Sherman, as secretary of state,
will be as jealous in securing its ratifi-
cation as he now is as senator in
charge of the convention.
