WASHINGTON, Feb. Senators Gray
and Money occupied the entire execu-
tive session Of the senate in speeches on
the peace treaty, Senator Gray favoring
ratification and Senator Money oppos-
ing it. Senator Gray was the third Of
the Paris commissioners to speak, and
while he gave. some attention to the
published matter bearing on the treaty
he did not go into this in such detail as
did Senators Frye and Davis. He ad-
mitted that in the beginning Of the ne
gotiations he had been opposed to the
acquisition Of the. Philippine archipel-
ago and said that he had freely and
frankly advised the president and his
fellow commissioners of his belief that
it would be unwise to &';><, =. e
-. = Attempt to shape IT. Destiny.
He had used his best endeavors to bring
them to accept his views, but had ut
terly failed and at last reached the con-
clusion that he would either have to
join with the majority or see the treaty
fail and the war continue. In the mean
time he had been largely won over by
the arguments of hin colleagues and by
the logic of the situation, and he had,
1T last, concluded to- sign, the conven-
ton. Having taken his position he was
here now to defend the treaty as wise
conclusion of a most delicate diplomatic
undertaking. Many complications had
beset the commissioners in. their work,

Senator Gray did not advocate perma-
nent occupancy 81 the eastern islands,
but said that the duration Of our exer-
else Of sovereignty there should be set-
tied in the future and not ct present.
3. Senator Money attacked the acquisi-
ton of the islands as contrary to the
spirit Of American institutions and a.
unconstitutional. He said the govern
ment Of the United States could not af-
ford to put itself in the attitude of Q
Don Quixote in q vain effort to care for
and advance the interests Of every peo-
pie in every land that appeared, accord
ing to our standards of civilization, to
