NoRwooD's PANAMA REPORT.
1t Has Probably Shelved the Edmunds
Resolution for this Session.

1t Has Probably Shelved the Edmunds
Resolution for this Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The course Of
the Edmunds Panama resolution since il
passed the Senate has been a little out Of
the ordinary run OF business. When first
called up in the House committee on for
eign affairs, the subcommittee made n
unanimous report i'm favor of its passage
ani Mr.. Russell of Massachusetts, was tho
only member who opposed the measure.
There was every indication that it would be
speedily reported and passed by the House.
A favorable report was made in fact, but
the resolution was re-committed in order TO
allow MIR. Russell TO explain more IN detail
bis reason for opposing it.
MR.. NoRwooDs REPORT.
Then it transpired that Mr.. Norwood Of
Georgia wished to make a minority report
against t'e resolution, and he Joined forces
with Mr.. Russell in preparing a document.
1t was very long and exhaustive argu-
ment upon the subject and the treatme {
was so able that when completed the report
was signed by Messrs. Hooker, Cothran and
Rayner in addition to Messrs. Norwood a d
Russell. Here we're five If the seven demo
cratic members of the committee arrayed
against Chairman McCreary's report, which
represented the views of the majority,
owing to the adherence of the republican
members of the committee.
THE cHAIRMAN's POSITION.
1t is now understood that the chairman is
reluctant to press the matter and widen the
gap between himself and his democra ic
colleagues in the committee, taking the
ground that the immediate necessity for
the passage of the resolution has disap-
neared as a result OF recent events in
France. So it is conjectured that the mat
tor will not come again before the House
during this congress.
