THE PANAMA MATTER Mr. Bacon's Suggestion of Building a Railroad for Colombia From Bo gota to the Canal Opposed by Mr. Platt of Con necticut. (By the Associated Pre»-.j Washington, D. C-, Jan. 29.—'The Senate today a*loptrd the resolution introduced by Mr. Cuiber3on for the Democratic caucus v.hich calls upon the President to state whether the Senate has been sup plied with ail the facts bearing upon th« controversy over Panama. Th*-re was no division, so that the vote on the resolu tion was unanimous; but there w.i- a roll call on the amendment *ugg- ->ted by Mr. Cullom. for the Republican side of the chamber, calling for the information only in case the President should coa-ider >t not incompatible with the public inter est to supply it, and it was adopted by the decisive vote of 39 to 20, ail the Ft - j publican Senators present voting lor .ae amendment and ail the Democrats, except Mr. McEuery (uhu vot*-d with th Htpub- . 1 leans), casting their votes against it. There were during the debate frequent assurances that notwith-tanding the modi- i Station all the paper-- baring upon th question would be rent to the Senate. Speeches on the resolution were made bv Mr. Cockrell and Mr. McLaurio and both j were favorable to the resolution and op po»ed to the Cullom amendment. The Senate then at the request of Mi J Baron took up the ies-olution introduced by that Senator advising the President j that the Senate suggest, a treaty with (Colombia looking to a satisiactory ad liisiment of all claim* on the part ot that country against the United State# grow ing out oi the Panama revolution. Mi Bacon addressed the Senate in support ot ♦he resolution saying that its purpose is that of securing an amicable settlement o i j the dispute with Colombia, v»ueh mig.it j avert hostilities. He contended that tu. j measure is in direct accord with .... policy of this government to avoid con- j fllct whenever it is possible to do and quote many authorises in support ' of this statement. Much oi Mr. Bacon » discouise was ue- ; voted to presenting the question of aru. j tra-lon for the settlement of interna- , tional deputes- and he quoted many emi nent Americans of the pa-t in suppou j of that policy. He reached the conGu njnn that the people of th«- United siai. j were thoroughly committed to a policy of conces-lon to avoid war in all proper ' cases and hs contended that in .he pre->- I tnf instance the United States could nor afford to violate the well e-abh-nen 1 * rule. He said we <-bould first proceed by con ciliatory advances towards Colombia i.i.l ia case our proffer »hould not be favci ahly received then the entire matter I should he submitted to arbitration. He said even if wt* assumed that all of the representations of the United State were true and all those of Colombia false. | Kt ill there was an is-sue. and the proper 1 way to settle it wca the way of peace and conciliation. IF’ did not contend ! that our right to recognize Panama shoul; | be arbitntcd. but he did hold that a ques tion for arbitration was presented in the ; differences that have arisen ov:r the cor.- -truction of the treaty of 1846. All he wanted was that we should approach the Colombian government in a proper spirit j and not treat that country in a haughty . ami defiant manner. Speaking of the proposition to tender the good offices of the United State- look- 1 inu to a settlement of the controversy b**- 1 tween Colombia and Panama Mr. Bacon j -aid that this mode of proceeding would be inadequate because it would not take • into acmunt Colombia's differences with the United States. In this connection h* 1 ; reiterated ht» conviction that the Panama revolution was an accomplished fact and ' added his further conviction that the canal would be built at Panama, mis being true he argued that ' there is no more important duty than to remove whatever source of friction thTo may be. - ' He had heard it stated that Colombia would be perfectly conciliated if the United - States would devote ten million dollars for | the purpose of building a railroad con , neeting Bogota with the canal, and if -uoh were the ease he did not believe the United States could do better than to meet the suggestion in a favorable way. Mr. Platt (Conn ) suggested that if it was to be the understood policy of the United States to buy its peace with ail countries which made claims agnin-t this country or have controversies with it we should have an abundance of oppor tunity for the expenditure of our money. The Senate adjourned until Monday. No Interregnum. Says Littlfield. Washington, Jan. 29.—The House today coneidere-f whether members of Congress are entitled to be paid mileage a second time. The controversy arose on an item in the Urgent Deficiency Bill providing for two payments of mileage for Senator* end of the Hou-c oa account of | VOI WITH I I OABOLHA. I FAIR. the extra neoiog which merged into the j regular sc**»icn. A point of order *a« raised by Mr, Maddox (Detn. Ga.) against the payment o? mileage a -econd time and he was supported by Mr. Littlefield (Rep. Mr. ) who contended that there had been no interregnum and consequently but one •■*■-**urn of Congre-*, and therefore no au thority of law for a *eeond appropriation for mileage. Mr. Gro-vener prr>po*ed an amendment providing that any member so desiring might cover any money due him under thw appropriation into the treasury Laughter followed it* reading. Mr. Maddox .‘■aid he had heard cheap amendments offered before and he could exercise hw right to accept or return money without amendment. The interest manifested in the question was shown by the fact that there were few empty seats on either side of the chamber when the mileage 'tem was reacted. Mr. Littlefield received clone at tention and wa- places with numerous question- a- to his interpretation of the law and the Constitution. An adjourn ment wa. taken before a conclusion was reached. Consideration of the amendment in creasing the appropriation for the expen ses of the district land offices precipitated a di.-cu-sinn on the subject of alleged land frauds. Mr. Mondell (Rep. Wyo.) author of the amendment, in utging an increased appropriation called attention to the in creased volume of business. Mr. Robinson (Dem. Ind.) asked if the increased busi ness was not due to fraudulent entrie* Mr. Mondell replied that he had no knowl edge to that effect, and said he believed the reports of frauds to be greatly ex aggerated by persons in whose interest it is to liave such report* circulated. The provision in the Urg< nt Deficiency Bill to defray the expend*' of the Inter national Exchange Commission and an other provision authorizing the consolida tion of customs collection di-trict-, were -tricken out. The House adtourned until tomorrow. WAS IT MURDER? Corpse of W. J. Lee Found in the Road. The Body is Cut and Gashed in Sev eral Places. Clarence Glover is Arrested on Suspicion and Lodged in Jail.
