Gorman Resolution Relating
to Use of Military Passed.
ROOSEVELT' IS DEFENDED
His Course Termed That of a Just
and God-Fearlng Man--TIIIman
Again Speaks on Recess Ap
pointments and Crum.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The Senate
today adopted the resolution of Inquiry
concerning affairs in Panama Introduced
on January 5 by Gorman, and listened to
a speech on the Panama question by Dol
Hver and another on the subject of recess
appointments. Following is the text of
the Gorman resolution adopted:
Resolved, That the President be requested.
If not in his judgment incompatible with
public Interest, to Inform the Senate:
First The date when and the circum
stances under -which the United States, for
the first time, and each succeeding time,
used a military force to interfere in' the in
ternal affairs of New Granada or Colombia,
under the treaty of 1840; -whether such use
of military force -was on the initiative of
the United States, or by the request of New
Granada or Colombia, or In consequence of
any official representation of either; and
also to transmit to the Senate copies of the
letters or notes in the Department of State,
and of the orders by the Navy Department
relating to uch use of military force.
Second Also to inform the Senate whether
the United States has been asked by New
Granada or Colombia, or any official repre
sentative of either, to execute, by armed
force, either the guaranty of the neutrality
of the Isthmus, or of the sovereignty of New
Granada or Colombia, over the same; and
if the United States has been so asked, then
the dates and circumstances thereof; and to
vend to the Senate copies of the letters or
notes, In each case, conveying the applica
tion and what was dose thereunder by the
United States.
Third And also to inform the Senate in
which, if any, of the disturbances on the
isthmus of Panama referred to by the Presi
dent In his last annual message, the United
States used a military force solely on his
own initiative and uninvited by the Gov
ernment owning the isthmus, and also to
Inform the Senate of the circumstances in
rach which reaulred such use of military
force and transmit copies of the orders
Issued by the Navy Department for such
purpose.
Fourth And also that he will Inform the
Senate of the date when the circumstances
ander which the United States has employed
military force In the Internal affairs of New
Grapada or Colombia, on account of any re
volt' or rebellion or disturbance of the peo
ple therein.
As to Senate Recesses.
After the disposal of routine business,
Tillman was recognized to speak on his
resolution relating to Senate recesses. His
remarks dealt -with the pending nomina
tion of Dr. Crum, to be Collector at
Charleston, S. C. Tillman disclaimed any
intention to consider this as a party
question, but asserted his desire was to
prevent the establishment of a harmful
precedent and to find out what the Senate
thought of a "constructive recess." He
said it had remained for our present Ex
ecutive to assert the right and exercise
the power of making appointments be
tween 12 and 12:30 o'clock of the same
day.
Hale took exception to the statement
that the President had committed him
self to the proposition as set forth. He
had never doubted that the Controller
would make short work of claims for
salaries under such appointments. He
did not accept the theory of a constructive
recess.
Tillman quoted a letter from Secretary
Shaw concerning the appointment of Col
lector Crum, taking the position that
there had been a constructive recess be
tween the time of the adjournment of the
lato extra session of Congress and the
beginning of the present regular session.
This, Tillman contended, was In violation
of the Constitution, and there "was no
common sense In the plea that they was
any interregnum between the extra ses
sion and the regular session, whon one
was immediately adjourned to prepare for
the other. He cited utterances of Charles
Sumner and John Sherman in support of
his position.
Spooner rose.
'I do not suppose." sold Tillman, "that
the Senator from Wisconsin objects to my
eulogizing members of his party?"
'No," replied Spooner, "but I cannot
understand why he should wait until they
are dead."
Tillman dwelt on the consideration of a
slmtlar merger of two sessions of Con
gress during the administration of An
drew Johnson, and Halo interrupted to
express his satisfaction that the proceed
ing had been cited. He considered it
conclusive, and said: "What was good
law then Is good law now."
Halo said that the Crum nomination,
that of General Wood and others were not
sent in as recess, but as regular appoint
ments. "I deny It on the authority of Secretary
Shaw,' replied Mr. Tillman.
Panama Resolution Called Up.
Without disposing of the Tillman reso
lution, the Senate at 2 o'clock resumed
consideration of the Gorman Panama
resolution, and Dolllver addressed the
Senate, saying:
"Since our Intervention in the Cuban
War, the canal question has Increased
vastly In importance, and I predict that
some of the Democratic Senators -who
were opposing the canal treaty will find it
b be a ''burning question."
He deprecated criticism of the Presi
dent in connection with the Panama re
volt, referring to him as a "God-fearing,
patriotic man." As a precedont for the
President's recognition of Panama,
Dolllver showed that President Pierce had
recognised five revolutionary govern
ments within four months.
Patterson interrupted to state that these
recognitions were in accordance with in
ternational laws; that it was a recogni
tion of do facto government, and In no
case one of secession.
"Will the Senator say why 20 nations
of Europe have recognized Panama?"
queried Dolllvor.
"Because the United States set the
pace," replied Patterson. "They recog
nized that the United States had created
that government, and wishing to continue
in the good favor of this country, they
followed its lead.'
"Does International law in Europe -consist
of following the blunders and crimes
committed by the United States?" retorted
Dolllver.
Continuing Dolllver declared the Panama
revolution had been going on for 20 years. ;
Could Not Have Stopped.
"Talk to me." said Dolllver. "about the
United States Interfering to aid the insur- j
Tection In Panama; the United States
could uot.have stopped It had It desired
to ao so. .
Dolllver -declared that all that had been
done "by the United States fax Panama was
"done In obedience to the requirements of
our treaties. I accept the Secretary of
aiaie as my autnonty on this question.
for, much as I may respect the opinion
of Senatora, I would accept John Hay's
Opinion on such a jEWbJect In preference
to the opinions of any of them: There
fore, I do not apologize for any f the
orders given or the acts done In
Panama.
"1 have reached." he concluded, "Hip
point in my patriotism where I propose
to stand by my own Government and let
other governments take care of them
selves."
Teller declared the contentions of
Dolllver that the treaty of 1516 was
canal treaty and gave the United States
any sovereignty over the canal strip were
in conflict with the authorities of all
time.
Newlands Meets Challenge.
Newlands then quoted the challenge
made by SpOoner a few days ago to put
his CNewlands) views in the form of
resolution, and presented a resolution
setting forth the condition of affairs on
the Isthmus of Panama, and declaring
our Intervention to be unjustified under
the treaty of 1S46. under international law.
and under the Constitution oflhe United
States. The resolution also declares that
the instructions sent by this Government
to Its officers In Panaman waters, and
other acts on the part of the Government,
constitute a declaration of war; and
Anally authorizes the President to enter
Into a new treaty with Colombia for the
cession of all rights to the Isthmus of
Panama to the United States.
Newlands said that this suggestion for
a solution of the Isthmian problem was
his own, and the resolution was laid- on
the table subject to his calL t
Gorman then asked for a vote on his
resolution, oh which all the recent
speeches on the Panama question have
been delivered. After some change in
the phraseology, it was adopted without
division.
The Senate at 4:30 -went into executive
session and at 4:25 adjourned.
