57TH CONGRESS-.
How Shall Lives Of President
Be Better Protected?
Senate Discusses Problem in Its
Many and Varied Features.
The Payne Cuban Reciprocity Bill In
troduced in House.

Washington, March 19.-During the
entire session of the Senate, today, the
bill providing for the protection of the
President of the United States was
under consideration. Spooncr of Wis
consin, Contended that the government
had an absolute and inherent right to
protect itself against assaults made
either upon itself or upon any of its
officers. He maintained that an as
sault on the President was in the very
nature of things an assault on the
government, for there never was Il
time when the President was not in
the exercise of the duties of his office.
His argument was largely legal and
constitutional and throughout was
forceful and entertaining and instruc-
tive.
Hoar, in charge of the measure,
elucidated some arguments he had
made previously and Teller and Bailey
spoke briefly on the bill. The Texas
senator said he could not support the
measure as it stands, because he could
conceive of an assault made on the
President as a person and not as an
official of the government. The as
sailant in that event, ought to be pun
ished precisely as if he had assaulted
any other citizen.

CANAL REPORTS.
Majority Opposes Buying Out
the New Panama Co.
Simply Another Injustice to Thousands
Of 0efrauded Frenchmen.-
Minority UphoIds Company and It's
Right to Sell Property.

| Washington. March Ex-senator
| Morgan from the committee on 18TH
mian canals, today, presented to the
| Senate the majority and minority re
| ports of the committee on the question
of the validity of the title of the New
| Panama Canal Co. and it's right to
| transfer the Panama canal property to
| the United States for $4,000, 900. The
| objections of the majority to the title
held by that company are based large
ly on the relations of the canal COM
pany to the governments of France
and Colombia, but the committee also
discusses at length many other phases
Of the question. Among these is the
relation of the shareholders who sub
scribed $260,000.000 to the old Panama
Co, whose interests, the report holds.
| cannot be lightly regarded. On that
point the report says:
The spectacle of the United States
Congress authorizing the President, as
the agent of our government, to con
duct a trade with a corporation (the
new Panama Coz without consulting
France as to the claim of independence
IT (the new Panama Coz asserts, will
be entirely new in the history Of ma
tions and it's consequences cannot be
lightly disregarded.
unfortunately the report of the
isthmian canal commission reveals the
fact that the men who make this offer
are chief among those who defrauded
these 100000 or 100000 Frenchmen OF
$3.50, 900. .000.'
Speaking further of the obligations
OF the new company as to the old, the
majority say: If Mr.. Eifell and his
associates get $40.0OO,OOO from the
American people, it is well that they
are sheltered from the claims of these
defrauded and despoiled bondholders
and stockholders by the alleged des-
potism of French courts. They would
never escape justice in American
courts and would be compelled to ac-
count for every dollar of the money
to the bondholders and to the stocks
bearing interest, before applying any

ANGRY PASSIONS GO UP AND UP
Spooner, Teller, Tillman and Lodge
the Chief Shouters-NarrOw Es-
cape From Fist1cutHs.

Washington, Jan. pa Philippine
storm was central in the senate chamber
for three hours yesterday. Old senators
say 1t las been years since there has been
such hurricane of bitter vitupera ton, of
personal taunt, Of ugly charges and of I'M
modified criticism. Once or twice person
al encounters between senator's seemed
imminent. Once, when Senator Teller
tainted the republican senator's by declar-
ing they knew the statements made in a
recent dispatch from Manila,g in which
General Wheaton was represented as
crit1cizing the opponents of the govern
ment's policy in the Philippines were true,
half-dozen republicans were on their
feet in an instant ':s-s ~
Senator Lodge, at whom the taunt
seemed to be aimed particularly, crossed
from his seat to the center of the repub-
llcan aisle of the senate. nd,CWhite to the
lips, passicnately challenged the state
ment OF the Colorado senator and de-
manded that he withdraw it: Senator Tel
Ter so modified the statement that further
hostilities at that time were averted.
One of the sharpest colloquies OF the
session was between Senator's spooner of
Wisconsin and Tillman of South Carolina.
The race problem, involving the lynching
of negroes was interjected into the con-
troversy, and much feeling was manifest
ed by both senators. Mr.. Spooner de-
clared that if the same rule were to be
applied to the colored people in the Phil
ippines Mr.. Tillman referred to in the
south, then, God help the colored man in
the Philippines
God help him in the Philippines now!"
shouted the South Carolina senator pas
sionately. ''You have already butchered
in three years three times as many as
the Spaniards did in three centuries
''1t is one thing retorted Mr.. Spooner,
''to kill men with arms in their hands,
against the government and against the
flag. 1t is another thing to burn them. -
Senators in. their excitement seemed for
the moment to have forgotten the sub
ject of debate. The chair (Mr. F'rye) was
able with difficulty to maintain order.
When tie discussion ended for the day
the chair felt called on seriously to ad-
monish senators that the rules of the
body had not been observed .'-a-'
