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. ,

Cabinet Discusses Canal Treaty.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. 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
