tire remain of the days session. eX-
Cept the time given to the confirmation OF

sion of the question. as to whether the
treaty should hc considered in open seS-
sion or in executive session, After de-
bate of almost two hours upon this point,
an informal vote was taken The deci-
sion was Overwhelmingly against an open
session.
The motion for open sessions was made
by Senator Gray of Delaware. Senator
Davis replied to Mr.. Gray. contcnding for
the observance of precedent in this mat
ter and objecting quite strenuously to the
proposition that the Senate should take
the public into its confidence in consider
ing the treaty. He took issue with MIR.
Gray on the statement that no general
questions We're involved affecting our dip
lomatic relations with other countries.
and predicted that the discussion would
take a wide range.
Speeches in favor of the Gray resolution
were made by Senators White. Caffery.
Mason and Morrill,, and III opposition by
Senators Morgan. Hoar. Spooner and
others. Senator Morgan talked at length
upon the Importance of observing the
Senate rules in discussing this question.
Most OF the senator's who spoke in op-
position To open session referred to the
probability that the action of the Europ-
can powers in their evident purpose OF
