WILL Be MADE PUBLIC.
Injunction Of Secrecy On Peace Treaty Re-
moved cbate Will BE Secre'.

Washington. Jan. 11.-When the Senate
went into executive session. today, Sena-
tor Davis reported the peace treaty. stat
ing that it had not been amended in any
respect in the committee. He moved that
the treaty and the proceedings of the
peace commission be made public. This
brief, however. and the motion to remove
the Injunction of secrecy prevailed with
out division.
Senator Berry moved that the debate
upon the treaty should be conducted IN
open Senate. but the motion went over
until tomorrow. There were only casual
remarks upon the policy Of publicity and
these were generally favorable to the
removal of the secrecy injunction from
the treaty and as generally opposed to
the opening of the doors Of the Senate
for the debate upon the treaty.
Senator Davis gave notice that he
would ask for the earliest possible con-
sideratiOn. giving the impression that he
would move to take up the treaty, to-
morrow.

but it was found impossible to get
through and the train was brought

over night, leaving with No. / about
s o'clock this morning.
Last might, by the breaking of a rail
at Hutton station, three engines left

until late this morning. At 1920 a.

in one bunch. Some of these engines
were dead" and were sorry looking

have another engine to furnish power
to buck the drifts.
The Nebraska rotary, which came
over the hill last night in charge of
Conductor Duffey returned to Laramie
today, having gone west to Medicine
Bow and out on the Hanna branch. The
drifts on the hill were not over two OF
three feet deep on the average and the
engines vent through them at a twen-
ty-mile an hour speed, the huge wheel
throwing the snow off with ease. Con.
ductor Duffey said that he could al
ways tell when the plow was through
a drift by the humping which was sc
terrible that it almost shook the teeth
out of a persons head.
