SETS VOTE ON TREATY
Senate Decides to Vote OH Sub
ject Thursday.
CLARK CASE UP AGAIN
CHANDLER FAILS IN EFFORT
AGAINST MONTANA MAN.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Just before ad-
journing late this afternoon the senate
gave its consent to the fixing of a def
mite time to vote upon the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. Senators Money and Ma
son had occupied the time OF the execu-
tive session in making speeches against
the treaty, and when Mr.. Mason, who
was the last speaker, concluded, SEN
ator Lodge renewed his request to take
a vote next Thursday. No voice was
raised in opposition and the unanimous
agreement. was recorded.
The understanding is that the voting
shall be on the amendments at 5
o'clock and that the senate shall con-
tinue in session until the first VOJe on
the treaty itself is reached.
The Montana senatorial case was
brought again to the attention of the
senate in open session by an inquiry
of Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
as to whether the committee on con-
tingent expenses was ready to report
back the resolution authorizing the
committee on privileges and elections
to send for persons and papers in the
investigation of the right OF w. A

in the senate.
Mr.. GaIlinger IN. .H.) explained that
no aCClOn QdQ Deen taken Dy tiIe Gull
mittee because of the absence of the
chairman. Mr.. Jones of Nevada, and
also of Mr.. Jones of Arkansas.
Mr.. Chandler said he thought the
senate had a, right to an early report
from the committee, and said he would
be glad to know what had Influenced
members of the committee to delay the
action.
This aroused Mr.. Jones (Ark), who
questioned the right of any senator to
demand the reasons which may infiu-
ence the action Of any member of any
committee He could not understand
why Mr. Chandler should seek to pun
ish him, and intimated that Mr.. Chan
dIer must have some personal interest
in the resolution.
Mr. Chandler said that there was no
use for the member of the committee
on contingent expenses to put on any
disguise. 1t was perfectly evident that
no such treatment had ever before been
given a resolution of the character of
that pending. The matter finally went
