WASHINGTON, Jan; 15. Today's ses
sion, of the Senate began with tbo pas
age of a number of bills on the calendar
and closed in like manner. The inter
vening time was given over to a speech
by Teller on the Panama Canal question.
Teller contending that .the course of the
President in connection with the recent
revolt in Panama had been contrary to
precedent, and in contravention of inter
national law. The Senate adjourned un
til Monday.
After passing the bills heretofore
enumerated, the Senato took up the Gor
man Panama resolution. Before any one
was recognized to speak on the resolution,
Gorman offered a number of amendments
striking out the word "intervention"
wherever it appears, thus modifying the
resolution so as to make it an inquiry
concerning the issue of American military
forces on the Isthmus of Panama.
Cullom, in view of the amendments,
withdrew his motion to refer the resolu
tion to the committee on foreign relations
and said ho was willing to have it voted
on.
Lodge asked to have the resolution, as
amended, printed and He over for another
day, and that order was made.
Teller then addressed the Senate on the
canal question, saying, he believed the
subject shouki te treated from, a. non
partisan standpoint. He thought, however,
that whenever the President transcended
his duty the fact should be pointed out.
In the present instance he did not doubt
the good intention of the President, but
he was distrustful of his wisdom in what
ho had done. He had no complaint to
make against Panama, for he thought the
people of that country had the right to
enter upon a revolution. Indeed, he
thought that If he had llped In Panama
he would have been a rebel himself. This
right of the Panamans did not, how
ever, alter the duty of the United States
to remain neutral.
Piatt (Conn.) asked whether under any
circumstances the United States had a
right to protect transit across the Isthmus,
but Teller declared the question was
academic and said he would not argue the
case on that general ground. He was
willing to discuss the question of the right
to interfere, as the President has done in
the recent instance, and lie was ready
to contend that that interference was in
contravention of International law.
Tillman Corrects Himself.
"When Teller referred to Tillman's char
acterization of the situation on the
Isthmus, the latter interrupted to say he
had been misunderstood and desired to
explain. He said he had meant to say
it would have been preferable for the
United States to tell Colombia to get off
the Isthmus entirely than for us to "pur
sue there tho methods of the sneak thief
and maintain tho attitude of a bully."
In response to a suggestion made by
Teller. Spooner Interrupted to say that by
the treaty of 1816 Colombia was bound
to maintain the perpetual right of the
United States to passage across tho
Isthmus, and he argued that that right
remained, even though Colombia does not
stand behind It
Teller admitted that ay rlsht the
United States had under Colombia she
still had under Panama, if Panama were
an established power. He then asked for
an opinion from the "Wisconsin Senator
concerning "the new theory of the Inter
r.atioial eminent domain," and the latter
replied that "he had not yet been able
to give bis assent to that doctrine."
which, as he understood, meant that when
a wak nation had what a strong nation
needed the latter might take it by means
of arms, it necessary. Yet it must be
rrmembered that right of way of one
landowner over land owned by another
person is a right recognized by the world.
"If." he sold, "there is a doctrine of
the private way of necessity, aro we to
say that there is not an International
necessity where the interests of tho world
are concerned?"
There were Interruptions at this point,
causing Tillman to remark that "It takes
a great many doctors to bring about the
birth ot this baby."
Witty Reply to Tillman.
'Til try to take care of my own babies."
responded Spooner. "and when I cannot
do that I will ask some member of my
own family to do so."
Tho colloquy caused a general outburst
ct laughter. After it subsided, Spooner
continued Ids statement, saying he was
willing to confess that he had not reached
a conclusion in his own mind.
"I am not willing to concede the right
of International eminent domain, but I
cannot find it in my heart to deny it."
Teller took Issue with the President's
declaration that the course pursued in
Panama had been in the Interest of "col
lective civilization." That, he said, was
a dangerous doctrine, and was just such
a doctrine as Russia might appeal to if
ehe should attempt to crush Japan. The
doctrine was not American. It was con
trary to all the best traditions of this
country. It was the doctrine that might
makes right. He discussed the Govern
ment of Panama, declaring it to be un
Republlcan in form, and was Interrupted
by Spooner, who said it had been a
mooted question as to whether there is
a Republican form of Government In Colo
rado." "If." responded Teller, "there Is not a
AT MERCY OF SHIPOWNERS.
Root Urges Amendment of Bill to
Favor American Bottoms.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. Senator Frye,
chairman of the Senate committee on
commerce, today received a communica
tion from Secretary of War Root in refer
ence to the Senate bill requiring that
American bottoms be used for the trans
portation of supplies for the Army and
Navy. Mr. Root wrote that Tie favors
a bill which would authorize a preference
to American shipping, but not a manda
tory requirement for the present, as un
less discretion is used, the United States
will be put to unwarranted expense in
transportation of supplies by sea. He fa
vored an amendment authorizing the Sec
retary of War, In his discretion, to favor
American-built ships in the transportation
by sea of Government supplies to the Phil
ippines. The Secretary said:
"Tho great bulk of freight shipped .by
the War Department to the Philippines
goes upon the transports owned by the
United States: the remainder goes chiefly
in foreign bottoms, because the owners of
foreign vessels uniformly underbid the
owners of American vessels. Every oppor
tunity has "been given to American vessels
to compete, and the standing Instructions
of the department are to prefer American
vessels whenever there Is such substantial
equality between the bids as to make it
lawful to do so.
"I have bo doubt whatever of the wis
dom of a provision which hall make It
possible to do this business through the
employment of American ships. I think.
however, that there is great danger that
tne passage of this bill In Its present form,
would involve tho Government in serious
difficulties and unwarranted expense- Tho
number of American vessels available for
shipment from the Atlantic Coast to the
Philippines is so small that a rigid re
quirement that shipments must be made
in American vessels would put the Gov.
eminent entirely at the mercy of a very
few individuals who could charge what
they wished. The only alternative to the
possible payment of exorbitant prices for
snipments rrom .New York, would be to
send the freight by rail to the Pacific
Coast, and thence by ship to Manila."
CANAL TREATY IS AMENDED.
United States Given Partial Jurisdic
tion Over Harbors.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. Tho Senate
committee on foreign relations today
adopted an amendment to tho Panama
Canal treaty, giving to the United States
partial Jurisdiction over th eharbors of
Colon and Panama, in order to protect
the shipping interests of this country.
The amendment, it is believed, will not
meet any opposition from the Republic of
Panama. The Republican members of
the committee are inclined to favor a few
minor amendments to the treaty, if only
for the purpose of bringing about ratifi
cation of the convention by the constitu
tional convention of the new republic, and
thus meet and dispose of one of the vigor
ously fought contentions of the Democrats
that the treaty has not been ratified by
a tangible form nf
