In executive session the Senate defeated Vance’s motion to postpone the Nicaragua treaty, 22 to 25, then discussed and defeated Sherman’s amendment on the Clayton Bulwer treaty, 27 to 28. The treaty’s adoption failed 32 to 23, less than two thirds. A joint resolution for free duty imports for a Chicago world exposition was reported.
