THE DIFFERENT" STORE SENATORS HOLD CONFERENCE i They Say Republicans Are In Posses sion of Facts Withheld From Them, and Gorman Is Authorized to Name Committee of Inquiry. WASHINGTON, -Jan. 19. A conference of tbe Democratic Senators to discuss the Panama situation was held today. More than two hours were consumed in consideration of the various plans sup gested of petting full information concern ing the alleged participation by United States officials In the revolution on tbe IsthmUB. Nearly every Senator spoke, and It was the unanimous opinion that the He publican Senators are in possession of facts which have been withheld from the Democrats. Despite this feeling, it was agreed that there Is no way the canal treaty can be defeated in the Senate. It was admitted that a number of Demo crats must vote for ratification of the convention, as their geographical posi tion and the consequent commercial condi tions demand it Just before the close of the conference, a motion was adopted, authorizing Sen ator Gorman to appoint a committee to draft a composite resolution of inquiry, which will have the unanimous support of the Democrats. This committee was instructed to report tomorrow. The com mittee as announced by Gorman is com posed of Senators Carmack, Cockrell and i Culberson. The resolutions Introduced in he Senate by Gorman. Morgan and Car- pk and others, calling for Information jncemlng the Panama revolution and the Jrmatlon of the Republic of Panama, will 3e considered in drafting the resolution. fwhlch it is expected will be adopted at tomorrow's conference. , New York Dental Parlors MAIN OFFICE FOURTH AND MORRI SON STS..

A dismission regarding the treaty with Panama, now ' pending in the Senate, was the principal leaiure or today's meeting of the Cabi net The Senate committee on foreign re lations adopted some amendments to the treaty which, although regarded by of ficials of the-State Department as trivial, may bo productive, If finally Incorporated In the treaty, of embarrassment. Prior tn th OflSlnot muitlm c...t.. tt pointed out to Senators Cullom and Alli-H son if the proposed amendments were adopted it would be necessary to send the treaty again to Panama to be rati fied by the Panama authorities. So far as could be ascertained, no action was taken by the Cabinet on the subject, it being considered as being in the hands of the Senate for determination. The situa- tlon in the Orient was not discussed. SENATORS TALK ON PANAMA. Resolutions for Postal Investigation Sent to Committee. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The Senate re quired less than a minute to dlspose-jjf the motion to refer to the committee on postoffices the various resolutions look ing to an investigation of the Postofnco Department. The question had been pre viously debated for hours at a time, but today no Senator manifested any disposi tion to discuss it further, and it was adopted without a negative vote. After the passage of a half dozen bills, the Senate returned to consideration of the Panama question. Quarles spoke for almost two hours In support of the course of the Administration and was followed by Patterson, who criticized the Presi dent's course in Panama. Patterson was subjected to many inter ruptions and had not concluded when tho Senate adjourned. Shoitly after tho Senate met a bill was passed affording relief to settlers on pub lic lands In Oregon which had been grant ed to the Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany. The following bills also were passed: Providing for the establishment of a Ufesavlng station In the vicinity of Cape Flattery Rocks, State of Washington; granting lands In Missoula County, Mon tana, for university purposes to the university of that state. The Senate then took up and adopted the motion of Lodge to refer the Post office Department resolutions to the com mittee on postoffices. The action was taken without further debate. Tho Gorman Panama resolution was laid before the Senate, and Quarles- took tho floor. He contended that up to tho time of the recognition of the independ ence of Panama the United States had done nothing beyong sending our warships to the harbors of Panama and Colon. Fulton Puts a Question. -In response to a question from Fulton, Quarles said it necessarily follows that the obligations of the treaty remain unim paired, but are transferred from Colom bia to Panama. The treaty attaches to the land, he said, and we are bound to Pan ama to protect tht country even gainst Colombia, whlcn is now a foreign power. Quarles declared the revolt of Panama in the Interest of the canal to bo the first movement on the isthmus for the promotion of the rights of civilization for the past 100 years. Patterson opposed the canal treaty. Ho said if the treaty should be ratified, what ever wrong had been committed had been condoned. If not ratified, our ships in Isthmian waters should we withdrawn and the status restored. He defended Colombia as "not as bad as painted," and took the President to task for his method of speaking of that republic. He said the se-xsslon of Panama from Colombia is as atrocious a crime as would be the rebellion of Wisconsin from the United States. Patterson charged Spooner with having abandoned his previous position regarding the right of the United States to inter fere in Colombian affairs 4n Panama, but Spooner contended his position now was the same as at the beginning. He held now, as from the start, that if Colom bia did not protect tho right of transit It was tho duty of the United States to do so. Senators Forget Rules. The controversy between Patterson and Bpooner was extended and involved many minute points of difference. They stood close together in the main aisle of the Senate chamber, talking freely to each other, though at all times manifesting the utmost good will The situation was contrary to Pettus idea of parliamentary proprieties, and he made the point of order that conversations were not In accordance with the rules of the Senate. The chair rapped for or der, and Spooner responding, said the Senator from Alabama was entirely right. The fault was all his own. he said, and he temporarily retired. Not ten minutes afterward, however, the two Senators again were standing together in the aisle. The new discussion was on the point as to the extent to which the President was responsible for Assistant Secretary Darling's order to the commander of the Nashville, directing him to prevent the landing of Colombian troops on the isth mus. Spooner contended that the Presi dent was not necessarily familiar with all the directions given by the department. "If," responded Patterson, "it were not for the unbounded admiration I have for the Senator from Wisconsin, and the un limited confidence I have in him, I would call that a mere quibble." Patterson then suspended his remarks, and at 4:30 P. M. the Senate went into executive session, anu at 5 P. M. ad journed. X HOUSE TALKS OF PURE FOOD. Hepburn Bill Is Considered, and Will . Come Up Again Today. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The House to day considered the Hepburn pure-food bill, but did not complete It. When the House was ready to adjourn, on motion of Hep burn a recess was taken until 11:55 tomor row. This course will retain the bill be fore the House without Interruption for consideration tomorrow. Just before the recess an amendment coming from the Democratic side was adopted inserting the word "willfully" rel ative to the sale of prohibited adulterated goods by the retailers, which would make it incumbent on the Government to prove knowledge on the part of the retailers that such goods were contrary to law. When the House convened today Hep burn (la.), chairman of the committee on Interstate and foreign commerce, asked unanimous consent for the consideration of the pure-food bill, but objection was made by Smith (Dem., Ky.). The House then proceeded with the call for committees. Hepburn moved on completion of the call of committees that the House go Into committee of the whole for consideration of the pure-food bill. His motion pre vailed. It was agreed that there should be four hours debate. Mann (111.), from the committee on in terstate and foreign commerce, in charge of the bill, opened the debate. Upon his desk was an array of bottles and Jars con taining liquids and preserves, to which he referred as he proceeded. The bill, he said, practically was the same as that passed at the last session, and it had the approval of Government officials. Adamson (Dem., Ga.) opposed the bill. Shackleford (Dem., Mo.), while favoring much .contained in the measure, opposed certain xfeatures of it. Bell (Dem. Cal.) favored the measure. An argument which met enthusiastic ap plause from the minority side. In favor of reciprocity with Canada, was "made by Sullivan (Dem.. Mass.). He declared such a treaty would defeat the Chamberlain The Non-Irritating Cathartic Easy to take, easy to operate Hood's Pills Prevention better than cure.
