BUCHANAN'S NAME
 SLIPPED THROUGH
MORGAN DID No'f~ KNoW OF Ac- TON ON CONFIRMATION OF THE MINISTER TO PANAMA AND HE WANTS TO RECONSIDER.

Washington, December 19.-At the exec utive session of the senate today MT. Nor gan moved to reconsider the motion by which the nomination of w. J. Buchanan to be minister to Panama, was confirmed on Thursday last and the motion was dis cussed for half an hour without being acted upon.
 Senators Morgan and Bacon then said that they had intended to oppose con firmation of MT. Buchanan's nomination, but had not observed when 1t was taken up in the senate and had therefore been unprepared for the announcement of his confirmation. They were not even aware of the fact that the nomination had been reported from the committee on foreign relations
 Senator Morgan said he had been pres ent at last Wednesdays meeting of the committee when the nomination was sup posed to have been taken up; that he was the only democratic member in att tendance, and that he had not noticed when the nomination was brought to the attention of the committee. But he and Senator Bacon staed that so far as they are now advised, there IS no personal objection to MT. Buchanan and both based their opposition to the act of send ing any representative to Panama at this time.
 They did not enter into a discussion of conditions on the isthmus beyond say ing that every one knows what these con ditions are, and that the situation is still a matter of congressional inquiry Sena- tor Cullom. chairman of the committee on foreign relations, replied that there had been no intention, either in committee or in the senate of getting the nomination through surreptitiously, and said that 1t had been considered as a matter of rou- tine business. Considereing it as such, he had made no comment upon it.
 No vote was taken on MT. Morgan 8 motion but it has the effect of tying the matter up. as notice of the senate's action had not been sent to the President before the motion was entered

CHICAGO HOTELS ATTEMPT
 HOLDUP AND GET CALLED

Washington, December 19.-What seems to be an attempt on the part of the Chicago hotel managers to raise rates during the national republican convention is to be nipped in the bud by the na- tional republican committee. Postmaster General Payne has telegraphed to Chair man .Hanna in New Work that evidence has come to him indicating that extor- tionate rates have been fixed for the con- vention by the Chicago hotels, and sug- gesting that unless assurances are at once forthcoming that regular rates are to be charged the national committee should take prompt action.
 The evidence referred to by the post master general is telegram to a promi- nent member of the house of representa-
