ered by Senator Culbersoa of Texas be- ,
fore an immense Dem oc ratio mass meet

The president's attitude was declared
by tbe speaker to be that of Iswleasneea .
combined with aa insatiable passion for .
personal and arbitrary government.
Two significant ftd hitherto unpob- .
llaheB letters were road, the Brat, as fol

you that In his opinion tha "reaeonabte
time allowed by tbe statute to oon- '
dude negotiations with Colombia for
the oonatruction of aa Isthmian canal
haa coma to a close and cannot be ex

you ths treaty of which I have had the
honor to give you a draft, with thia
change, that the aum of 91M.90B an

creased to 110.000. 1 am sot author

ebaaga whatever."

This letter, Culberson said, waa with
held while the president waa pressing
the opposite view on the country.
Continuing- his speech, Culberson said:
T accept It as true that the executive-
officers of tho adjnlnlsa-ation did not
officially and publloly Instigate tbe re
volt la Panama; but that the admin Is-,
tratloa. Including the president private
ly favored and encouraged the move
ment, aad that this waa widely Known,
la susceptible of demonstration, and la
a matter of thia character It was tanta
mount to committing tbe government to
It. Tha verratmoaphere of Washington
was charged with this belief. -Ths
movements of tbe navy, ta consonance
with the wishes and expectations or
the coasotratora, are Inexplicable except
on the- hypothesis of sympathy and fore
knowledge. Tbe press of the oountry,
whose representatives St Waahlngtoa
visited the stats department and the
White House dally, toemsd with sugges
tions and prophecies of secession, rec

Tbe second letter read by Senator Cul

of the Review of Rev! ewe:

we had better have no canal at this tuna
