Piatt Replies to Patterson's Criticism of President COLORADAN IS SMOKED OUT He Declares His Preference for the Nicaragua Canal Connecticut Leader Says His Words Clear Up Mystery of Opposition. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Patterson to day completed and Piatt (Conn.) began a speech on the Panama canal question. Patterson declared that the President was largely responsible for the revolt In Panama, and announced his decided preference for' the Nlcaraguan route. Piatt took this pronouncement for Nicaragua as the text for his remarks, saying It explained the mystery of the otherwise unexplalnable opposition on the part of the Democratic Senators to the Panama treaty. He also said If Ameri ca had violated international law, so had other great nations. At the beginning of the. session today the Senate took up the reso lution for the addition of a clerk In the Senate postofflce. Hale ob jected to Immediate consideration, say ing that too many increases were -being made In the clerical forces of the Senate. He appealed to Kean, chairman of the committee on contingent expenses, who replied that the pending resolution had been introduced for the purpose of re taining the services of "the clerk who does the work." At Hale's request the resolution went over. Cullom presented a number of petitions for a service pension bill, saying ha has received such petitions from almost every G. A. R. post in Illinois, and that he hoped they would have the attention of the Senate. "I do not know," he said, "what It would cost to- give a pension to every man who served In the Civil "War." Gal llnger, who sat next to Cullom. replied under his breath: "About $40,000,000 or $50, 000,000 for the first year." Again Speaks on Panama. Patterson then continued his address on tho Panama Canal question. Patterson entered into a discussion for the purpose of showing that President Roosevelt's claim that his course In Panama was In the line of policies of pre ceding administrations was unfounded, and to this end quoted many official documents bearing upon the subject since 1846, when the treaty was negotiated. Re ferring to the President's declaration that what had been done in Panama had been flone as the mandate of civilization, Pat terson quoted with approval a stateeffent by Spooner to tho effect that that was a new phase, adding: v , "It, was ft new phase, and the men who penned It must have been in a state' of mental exaltation at the time, as others have been on other occasions. Mahomet, Joe Smith and Dowie have moved in such exalted spheres that they Imagined themselves as the very vice-regents of the Almighty, and it may be that tho Presi dent moved Jn the same sphere." Patterson entered Into an argument In tended to demonstrate that Colombia had acted in good faith In rejecting the Hay Herran treaty. Ho said that Colombia had a perfect right to reject the treaty, and declared Its rejection could be traced lo the deliberate threats of the United Btates. He arraigned the President for falling to -carry the Spooner law Into effect, and he declared the President had "boldly announced his intention to steal Panama or take it by sheer force." The President's views, the speaker argued, must have been known to the people Df Panama, hence he held the people lo be at least partly responsible for the tecession of Panama. Patterson referred to the portion of the President's message of January' 4 In which ho stated that It had been the Intention, if Colombia 'did not accept our terms, to submit to Congress "the pro priety of a direct arrangement with Pan ama, or take up other steps that might be needed In prder to begin the canal enterprise." Such a proposition. Patterson declared, "would have been an insult to the dig nity and honesty of Congress." Declares Course Cold-Blooded. He repeated the charge that the Presi dent's mind was known In Panama, and asserted that his course was "pure, cold blooded participation with the rebels." Patterson having quoted certain news paper reports. Aldrlch Interrupted with the remark that the statements were un authorized newspaper reports. Patterson replied that he had observed that newspaper reports concerning the af fairs of the Administration are promptly contradicted. As an instance -he cited the denial of the report that the President had said concerning a certain Senator's attitude toward the Presidential nomina tion that he would "either have to fish or cut bait." Patterson asserted that 1L Bunau Varilla had, come to Washington to lobby tho canal measure through for the Pan ama Canal Company, and declared if. Bunau-Varilla hadnot even been in Pan ama since 1SSS. He charged that the effort to displace tho Nicaragua canal with the Panama canal was in the Interest of those who want no canal at all, and at the worst one which would give the least com petition to the transcontinental railroads. He believed the Nicaragua canal could be completed In 15 years' less time than the -Panama canal. He therefore would vote against the ratification of the treaty. Mystery Cleared Away. Patterson was followed by Piatt (Conn.), who said the assaults -on the President had been a mystery to him, Often these attacks had been in decent English, but some of them had been brutal. Patterson's speech, however, had relieved the attacks of their mysterv, for he and Carmack "had shown that tho purpose was to force the construc tion of the canal via the Nicaragua rather than the Panama route, the jformer be ing the route of the Democratic party. For himself, he was glad the mystery of the Democratic opposition had been cleared away.' Piatt then argued In support of the course of the Administration in Panama. Ho declared the Democrats lost sight of the fact that Panama's independence was an established fact, recognized not only by the United States, but by all the great nations of the earth, and If we had violated international law so had Great Britain. Germany and France. He N invited Patterson to Introduce a resolution directing the President to withdraw., our ships from Isthmian waters. He did not believe any Sena tor would invite such a question.'" Going further, did Patterson think that we should assist Colombia in again securing control of Panama. Without Piatt completing his speech, the Senate at 4r0o"P. 1L adjourned. FOR ANNEXATION OF PANAMA. Senator Morgan's BUI Also Provides for Construction of Canal. WASHINGTON, Jon. 20. Senator Morgan today introduced a bill pro viding for the annexation of "Panama to the United States, "the rights and property of Panama xestinir in thfl United States without reserve." The bill appropriates $10,000,000 as compensation to Panama for its ces sion; places $10,000,000 t the disposal of the President for .the compensation of Colombia and appropriates $60,000, 000 for the purchase of the property of the new Panama Canal Company In Colombia, including the Panama canaL It is especially provided tnat tne pro Visions of the bill shall not have the effect of repealing the Spooner act. Mr. Morgan gave notice that ho would submit some remarks on the bill tomorrow. A preamble to the bill sets forth that many nations have rec ognized the secession of Panama, and the Independence of that republic is an accomplished fact. The bill asserts that the President of the United States approved and protected the secession with the Naval forces of the United States, and the president and the Son ate recognized the independence of the new republic by appointing and ac crdltlng a Minister to that republic After providing for the construction of the Panama canal by the United States, the bill declares that all the rights and properties of the Republic of Panama of every jiescrlptlon shall vest In tho UnIte,dStates of America without reserve and shall bo subject to its sovereign jurisdiction. Morgan also introduced a concurrent resolution directing the President to enter into negotiations with the Gov ernment of Nicaragua and Costa Rico for tho construction of a canal via the Nlcaraguan route. NO COLLUSION WITH BIDDERS. O'Neil Replies to Question of House Regarding Armor. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. Replying to the question' of the House "Committee on naval affairs as to whether there is a preliminary understanding as to price be tween the Navy Department and the Bteel companies manufacturing armor for the Government, Rear-Admiral O'Neil has transmitted to the committee a review of the entire period In which the Gov ernment has had armor manufactured. He says It Is impossible to state whether there was an understanding between Sec retary Tracy and the Carnegie Company regarding the first contract for armor. As to his knowledge of such matters, O'Neil says: "Since June 1, 1S97, there has been no collusion or understanding with the bid ders as to the price to be paid, nor has there been any previous understanding as to how much armor would be awarded to any bidder. "When the bids were alike and confined to two bidders. It has been the general vpractlce to divide the award equally between them." Admiral O'Neil adds: "I consider the present situation with regard to armor very satisfactory., The cost of armor is considerably less in the United States than it is abroad, while the quality is equal - to. the best that is made anywhere. The armor for all ships authorized to date has been contracted for." PRESIDENT AND LEADER CONFER Steps for Early Ratification of Canal Treaty Discussed. . "WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. President Roosevelt and Senator Aldrlch. of Rhode Island, the Republican floor leader of the Senate, 'had a long conference today.

It Is understood' he talked on the subject with Senator Hanna, chairman of the interoceanlc canal committee, at the dinner given last night to the President and Cabinet by Postmaster-General Payne. Panama-Inquiry Committee MeetsT WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.

' COURT WITHOUT JURISDICTION Governor of Colorado Cannot Be .Dis turbed In Handling Strike. DENVER, Jan. 20. Judge Moses Hal lett in the United States District Court, today, after consideration of the Sherman Parker habeas corpus suit against the military authorities of Colorado, an nounced that his court is without juris diction In the matter. Parker Is a union miner of Cripple Creek, who is held In the military bullpen without warrant. In his opinion Judge Hallett says: "In tlmo of turbulence, and when there is a probability of violence, discretion may be exercised on the part of the authori ties in holding prisoners without" ball and holding them in custody until reasonable investigation has been made. The Gov ernor, as executive of the state, is author ized and required to enforce the jlaw and, if in doing so. he finds It necessary to call out the militia and use the powers of the state, he should do so. The matter of how the state should enforce the law is not for the Federal Government to state. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that when the authorities of the state ore engaged la the execution of the laws of the state, the courts of the United States have no authority to set them aside." 1 3udge Hallett cited a number of cases In which, he said, this rule was set forth. In concluding his opinion. Judge Hallett says: "The people of the state are to be con gratulated In having a Governor who will enforce the law. The court will not inter fere with him in the execution of his duties." CHANGES IN ARMY Important Promotions arid Retirements at Once. K0BBE LEAVES THE SERVICE Colonel .William E.

The Constitutional Convention met again today and ap proved, on the first debate, a draft of a Constitution, which contains the fol lowing principal points: The abolition of business monopolies In the Republic; the Infliction of the death penalty for political crimes: the abolition of the army, and the establishment of an efficient police force. .The fact thatheimajority.pf Isthmlaca a're'of- the Roman Catholic faith Is rec ognized, but the church and state are separated; all citizens, with the excep tions of members of any military body which may be established, shall have the right to vote; the press shall be free; the President's term of office shall be four years; there are to be two sub stitute "Vice-Presidents, one from the Liberal and one from the Conservative party, and they shall serve for two years; the Judiciary Is to be elected by Con gress.
