THE EXECUTIVE SESSION
Vain Attempt to Agree Upon a Time
to Vote on RexofutsUns

The controversy in tine senate over
the vote upon the various resolutions
interpretative of the peace treaty took
an acute turn late yesterday The 'Op-
position 20 a vote first came from the
friends of the treaty. who advanced
the theory that il should be ratified
without compromise. Those who, were
willing that a vote should be taken
yesterday held an opposite view and
absolutely refused to agree to time
for taking vote. The contest occur
red in the executive session. which did
NOT occur until 5:15 o'clock. The next
hour and quarter was spent i'm a
vain endeavor on the one side to get an
agreement to vote on the resolutions:
ard the other in the more unsuccessful
vote to bring the days session to a
close without allowing anything to be
accomplished in that direction.
The senate finally adjourned without
having accomplished anything.

speakers were Mr.. Money Of Missis-
sippi and Mr.. Daniel of Virginia. The
formers address was comparatively
brief. He did not enter into the COM
stitutional phases of the question. He-
vigorously antagonZed the ratification
Of the treaty. holding that by such ac-
ticn the Filipinos would be admitted
To the Union as citizens, and that IL
they were not capable of self govern
ment we did not want them. Mr..
Daniel made an exhaustive argument
in which he covered all the points il
controversy. His speech was a bril-
liant oratorical effort. his picture NJ
the situation in the Philippines and his
peroration, in which he appealed to his
colleagues not 10 depart from the his
tory and traditions of the Americana
nation We're beautiful specimens OF
eloquent English. Throughout. his
speech received the careful attention
Of senators and many auditors in the
galleries. ana at its conclusion he was
applaudcd warmly.
