SET SPEECH ON PANAMA
Senator Holds the Resolution
Was Act of President.
SPOONER TO HIS DEFENSE
Every Action Was What Justice De
manded and the Executive Only
Showed His Bravery
and Patriotism.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Panama again
"was the -principal subject of consideration
In the Senate, and as on yesterday the de
bate was spirited. Carmack opened the
proceedings with a set speech In criticism
of the President's course, and was fol
lowed by Spooner, the only other speaker
of the day. In defense of the President's
action as law-abiding, and In defense of
the President himself as "a patriotic,
brave and true man."
Tillman frequently Interrupted Spooner,
and there were a number of sharp en
counters between them. When the Sen
ate adjourned the Panama question was
still before It, and It was announced the
discussion would be resumed tomorrow
after the disposition of the Postofflce De
partment inquiry resolutions.
Colorado Labor Troubles Up.
Before the Panama subject was taken
up there was a brief but lively discussion
between Patterson and Scott of the labor
troubles In Colorado.
Today's session began with the presen
tation by Patterson of a telegraphic pe
tition from the Federation of Labor of
Colorado, In session at Denver, requesting
the adoption of the resolution formorly
presented In the Senate by Patterson, pro
viding for an investigation of the strike
by the Senate committee on Judiciary.!
Patterson said that the Federation
numbers 23,000 members. He asked to
have the resolution referred to the Ju
diciary committee, togemer with the pe
tition. The petition was read. The re
quest for an investigation was upon a rep
resentation of the extreme gravity of the
situation. Scott asked for the read
ing of a reply from the mlneowners of
Colorado, but subsequently withdrew the
request, contenting himself with asking
to have the reply go to the committee
and be printed and considered with other
papers bearing upon the question.
The presentation of the papers was
made the basis of a sharp colloquy.
"The Senator from "West Virginia will
admit that he is one of the mlneowners,"
Bald Patterson, and Scott admitted that
such was the case.
Patterson proceeded to say thatthe
Colorado Mlneowners' Association had
been more directly responsible than all
other Influences for the course of Gov
ernor Peabody In connection with the re
cent strikes in the state. The organiza
tion, he said, devoted Its energies to se
curing the extermination' of union labor,
and he asserted great Injustice had
been done by the use of the militia in Im
prisoning men, establishing a press cen
sorship, etc
Scott said in reply that he had al
ways been a friend of organized labor,
but there never had been "a more tyran
nical or despotic organization on the face
of the earth than that which the Colo
rado Senator Is championing here now."
The entire matter was, on Patter
son's motion, referred to the committee
on Judiciary, and the Senate took up and
passed the Houso bill for the eradication
of the cotton boll weevil.
Postal Resolutions Go Over.
The resolutions looking to an investiga
tion of the affairs of the Postofflce De
partment were laid before the Senate, but
by unanimous consent went over again
until tomorrow.
Hale offered tno following resolution as
the result of an agreement between him
self and Bacon during yesterday's session,
looking to a settlement of the Panama
question:
"Whereas, The state of Panama, for
merly a part of the Republic of Colombia,
has seceded from that republic and has
Bet up a government, republican In form,
and under tho name of the Republic of
Panama; and
"Whereas, The Independence of said Re
public of Panama has been recognized by
the United States and by many other na
tions; and
"Whereas, A treaty is now pending be
fore tho Senate between the United States
end the Republic of Panama, the ratifica
tion of which will Insure the speed" build
ing of the lnteroeeanlc canal by tho
United States across tho territory of said
Republic of Panama; therefore,
"Resolved, That in any claim which the
Republic of Colombia In any form may
make against the said Republic of Pana
ma for indemnification or loss of terri
tory or increased burden of the debt of
said Republic of Colombia, the President
Is requested to tender his best offices
toward the peaceful adjustment of all con
troversies arising or that may arise be
tween said Republic of Colombia and tho
Republic of Panama."
The resolution was read, and Hale stated
hb presented It as a substitute for
the Bacon resolution. He said he would
not ask for Immediate consideration.
The Panama resolution, offered by
Gorman, was laid before the Senate, and
Carmack was recognized. Ho said
the Republican Administration had been
guilty of the worst kind of partisanship in
refusing to execute the Spooner law be
cause of the tear that the opposition would
secure an advantage
Spooner moved to strike out of tho
Gorman resolution on Panama the fifth
section, which provides:
"And also to Inform tho Senate which
words, if any. In the treaty of lSiS, au
thorized the United States, in the opin
ion of the President, to enter by military
force and uninvited into the territorial
Jurisdiction of New Granada, or Colombia,
In order to prevent the interruption or
embarrassment of the free traffic across
the Isthmus."
Bitterly Assails Roosevelt.
Carmack in reply sa!d he advocated the
discussion of the Panama treaty In open
Senate, and said that while he had the
utmost respect for the office of the Presi
dent, he did not mean to conceal the ex
cesses of that office, "and every act of the
President In this wretched Panama busi
ness," he went on, "has been In violation
of law, of statutory and international law,
and of the Constitution of the United
States." He discussed at length Lodge's
defense of the President's right to recog
nize tho Independence of other countries
and spoke of the new Isthmian power as
"a hideous abortion of night and dark
ness, misnamed the Panama, Republic."
He compared the course of President
Jackson In the Texas case with that of

President Roosevelt in the present In
stance, and commended the former at the
expense of the latter.
In that case ho said there was no recog
nition until Mexico had abandoned the
struggle. As for himself, when his con
duct should be questioned he would point
to Andrew Jackson and not to Theodore
Roosevelt as his guide, and he had no
doubt of the result. But even the Presi
dent had admitted that he was not follow
ing precedents and he was acting under
the requirements of necessity, that neces
sity which in this as In other cases
knows no law.
The President, he said, had made It plain
that ho never had intended, to execute the
Nicaragua provisions of the Spooner act
"Never for one moment," he said, "did
he consider any plan that had In it so
little of strenuoslty and the sensational
as the execution of the law."
Carmack contended that President
Roosevelt had not contented himself with
the recognition of Panama, but had in
tervened. He said:
"His acts were not simply offensive, not
simply a cause for war, but they were
war. As a matter of fact, there never was
any insurrection on the isthmus. They
speak of tho rising as the act of one man.
Very true; and that one man was the
President of the United States."
Dlscsslng the act of Colonel Black, of
the United States Army, in raising the
first flag in the Panama Republic, the Sen
ator criticised him sharply.
"I do not believe Colonel Black would
have engaged in this plot if he had not
believed he was doing tho will of the Ad
ministration." Says He Loses Head in Action.
Carmack said the President had denied
he had encouraged the Panama insurrec
tion, but no greater encouragement could
be shown than by giving Mr. Bunau-Va-rilla
and a few other choice spirits a hint
that if a revolution were started it would
receive the support of the United States.
President Roosevelt, he said, loses the
power of reasoning and his moral sense
when he becomes Involved in action, and
exclaimed:
"Into what difficulties may we not be
led by this headlong man? He makes his
tory as he would order a melodrama,
making certain that the star performer is
always In the center of the stage."
He went on to say that the President's
course In this matter was not merely
an act, but a policy, and Indicative of
his character. It was not meant for Co
lombia alone, but was the beginning of
a system of Intermeddling with the af
fairs of tho countries of Central and
South America, and such a policy must
Inevitably involve us In war, not only
with the South American nations them
selves, but with European nations. In
conclusion, Mr. Carmack said that while
he was for the canal, he could not vote
for the treaty because he could not In
dorse the lawless acts of which it Is the
fruit.
"nen Carmack took his seat. Aldrlch
asked what practical system Carmack had
to offer.
"Defeat the treaty," responded Car
mack. "Then what?"
"Build the Nicaragua canal."
"Ah," responded Aldrlch, "that 13 the
milk In the cocoanut." Aldrlch proceed
ed to say he was In favor of building
the canal, and building It now.
Spooner Defends President.
Spooner replied to Carmack. saying he
had felt regret at hearing the criticisms
of the President, who had registered an
oath In Heaven to discharge his duties.
Carmack had made a sinister and unsup
ported statement when he said that this
country had begun a systematic encroach
ment on the rights of the South Ameri
can Republics. No man stood more con
sistently for those Republics than had
President Roosevelt, and Spooner in
stanced the course of the President In
the Venezuelan difficulty. No President
In our history had stood more staunchly
for tne Monroe Doctrine.
Spooner also gave attention to the
charges of disobedience of law by the
President. As the autuor of tho Spooner
Act, the speaker said he wished to ex
press the opinion' that the law had not
been violated by what the President had
done.
"Tho law," he said, "recognized the su
periority of the Panama route because It
was short and because It was susceptible
of being made a sea level canal. Not
only the business, but the "defense of the
country might demand a canal through
which our vjarshlps could pass without
going through locks."
-liter reviewing the events relating to
the canal negotiations, Spooner asked
whether any Senator would, under the cir
cumstances, turn his back on Panama
so long an there was -a bill pending In
the Colombian Congress and he put the
question especially to Tillman, who was
on his feet. w

SENATOR EVABTS this one day walking with a
friend along the Potomac, and stopped to look across

" Just think," he said, "in Washington's time he

The joke was a good one, hut of course he didn't
mean that things cost more now. It sometimes seems
as though they do it takes more to live, perhaps

Into negotiations "with Nicaragua and
would have reported back to Congress for
further Instructions. He would then have
said to Colombia: "You are a mangy lot;
get off the faco of the earth; we'll take
the country and build a canal."
This remark caused an outburst of
laughter, both on the floor of the Sen
ate and In the galleries.
After a minute's pause, Spooner said
that while ho could not accept the Sen
ator's language, he congratulated him on
coming to the President's position.
THlman called attention to Spooner's
hesitation, and the latter replied it was
because he was thinking how thankful
wo should be that we have not a Presi
dent who would use to any nation such
languagcgas the Senator from South Caro
lina had -used.
Replying to the man and not the "Sen
ator," Tillman asked Spooner whether he
would not prefer a President who says
In plain words, "get out of the way."
rather than to have "mixed up In the
bastard birth" of the Republic of Pan
ama. Warns the Democrats.
Continuing, Spooner warned the Demo
crats that "a platform which imputes
dishonor to the Administration and to tha
brave, true man In the "White House will
find no sympathy with the people of the
United States, North or South."
Replying to a question from Newlands,
Spooner said that Colombia had sought
the Hay-Herran treaty, but he did not
consider that the failure of that Gov
ernment to ratify the treaty was a
breach of international law.
Tillman asked If a discreet man weuld
not alro have waited on Congress be
fore warning Colombia oft her own pre
serves at Panama, and Spooner answered
in the negative, saying the safety, the
honor and the Interests of the United
States required that a President should
do Just what Theodore Roosevelt had
done.
Tillman urged that Spooner had evaded
the real question. What he wanted to
know was whether the President bad the
right to use tne army and navy as he
had done.
"Oh, Lord," exclaimed Spooner.
"You will have to call on the Lord fre
quently In this matter," retorted Till
man. "I did not address the Senator from
South Carolina; my remark was not per
sonal," said Spooner.
Acted Within Constitution.
Spooner declared the President had act
ed within the Constitution and the law
in all that he had done In Panama. He
said that he, for one, resented the im
putation that the President had been un
scrupulous with his dealing with this
question. This last statement was made
after Tillman had expressed the opinion
that the American Consul had bribed the
Colombian forces to withdraw from the
Isthmus.
The first consideration of the Spooner
Act was that tho 'right to build a canal
should be secured, and that end had been
accomplished by dealing not with Co
lombia, but with Panama, Colombia's
successor. This was Just as legitimate,
he said, as the transaction would have
been if it had been between individuals.
He Invited the opposition to test the
question by an early vote, and closed
with a defense of the President as "a
brave, patriotic and frank man. who tries
to do "what the law demands." ,
The Senate at 5:0S o'clock adjourned,
with the understanding that the subject
would be resumed tomorrow.
ADMINISTRATION STANDS PAT.
Will Not Pay One Dollar to Colombia
on Account of Revolution.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. It can bo stat
ed by authority that the Administration
does not contemplate paying one dollar
out of the United States Treasury to Co
lombia on account of the secession of
Panama. Nor will it go before The Hague
tribunal as a party to any proceedings
growing out of that secession. It is said
to do either of these things would be to
commit the Administration to an admis
sion that It had been guilty of wronging
Colombia.
On the other hand, it is again announced
that the United States Government stands
ready to do everything in Its power to
bring about an amicable understanding
between Colombia and Panama. It may
be that Panama will consent to go before
The Hague tribunal with Colombia and
allow that tribunal to decide whether or
not Panama shall make any concessions
to Colombia on account of the severance
of political ties. It Is certain that the
United States Government would look
with favor upon the assumption of Pana
ma of some small liability to make good
the heavy loss which Colombia has suf
fered. The Government is even willing
to go to the extent of guaranteeing the
performance by Panama of any duty and
obligation she may assume toward Co
lombia and exchanges on this basis be
tween interested parties are now in progress.
