DID ALL BREAK THE LAW?
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

Mr. Morgan gave notice that ho

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."

. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. President
Roosevelt and Senator Aldrlch. of Rhode
Island, the Republican floor leader of the
Senate, 'had a long conference today. It

ators with a view to an early ratification

he talked on the subject with Senator

tee of Democratic Senators authorized

olution of Inquiry concerning the revolu
tion in Panama and the alleged partici
pation of United States officials in 'the
uprising met today, but no action was

crats to produce a composite resolution,
using as a basis the various suggestions
which have been made by the different
Democrats who have called for expres
sions from the Administration.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-It has been
practically determined to drop all the
amendments to the Panama treaty. As
surances have been received that Panama

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."

PANAMA, Jan. 20. 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. That part of the draft which refers
to territorial boundaries delimits the canal
zone as specified In the Hay-Bunau-"Varllla
treaty, and this Is believed in
directly to approve the treaty.
It has been agreed among the mem
bers of the convention to approve a bill
ratifying all the "acts of the provisional
government. This will do away with the
necessity of a separate bill proposing the
ratification by the convention of the act
whereby the Junta ratified the Hay-Bunau-Varilla
