For Protection of Treaty Rights.

Washington, Feb. 19--The senate
committee on foreign relations author
lied favorable report on the bill pro-
viding for the punishment of violations

bill authorizes proceedings in the Uni

upon aliens. Mr.. Foraker, in his re-
port, places the motive for the bill in
the ignorance of foreign governments
concerning our internal affairs. He
