Washington Pebruary fJ Senator Sher-
man chairman of tho senate committee on
foreign lelatlons has given notice that he
will ask Hie scnato to go Into executive
session Monday Immediately after tho dis-
posal of tho routine business for tho pur-
pose of taking up tho arbitration treaty
It Is expected that tho mbtlon wlll be op-
posed by those who dcslro to have other
measures considered The motion will con
flirt directly with the Nicaragua canal bill
and as well with the bankruptcy tho
Pacific railroad commission and tho Ha-
waiian cable bills the friends or each of
these measures being very anxious to se-
cure recognition Tbero is no general op-
position to debating tho treaty at this time
oven on the part of those who oppose Its
ratification on Its own account but somo
of those who aro disposed to support It aro
Inclined to waver because It will If taken
up dlsplaco other measures In which they
aro Interested It la probable that an ef-
fort will bo made to reconcile all conflicting
claims to precede ico by tho steering com-
mittee ot tho two sides of the tbamber
It Is thought that In this way tho conflict
may bo averted by arranging to glvo tho
pressing measures a show for a limited
time A meeting or tho republican steering
committee will bo held tomorrow While
It Is not known that the silver senators sra
to tbo treaty the fact leaked out
