Washington, Jan. S.-The senate to-
day took up the Samoan treaty in
executive session and after having it
read from the desk of Senator Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, made brief explanation
statement. In doing so he quoted lib
orally from the report upon the Sa-
moan situation made by Hon. Bart
lett Trip. The senator referred to
the hOstilities of last summer, saying
that these were merely ore-runner of
what might have occurred on a far
larger scale il the tripartite arrange
ment between the United States. Great
Britain and Germany had been per-
mitted to continue in foN'e. He con-
tended that Germany had simply made
a quit cdaim deed to the United States
and that in turn the United States had
quit claimed to Germany. While the
statement was in progress, Senator
Pettigrew asked How many people
the United States had bought with
the islands come into the possession Of
this country by the transfer?" but Mr..
Davis refused to admit the applica-
blity of the language to the transac-
ton.
Senator Bacon stated his opposition
to the treaty and gave notice that he
would ask to he heard upon It when
the treaty is again taken up.
The injunction of secrecy was re-
moved from the treaty 1t has been
published heretofore.
