DEBATE IN SEN AT E
VIRGINIA SENATOR SPEAKS ON
MR.. HoAR's RESOLUTION.
Indignation Aroused Among the Re-
publicans by the Latter's Speech
Yesterday Afternoon.

| regarded one of the most finished orators
| on the democratic side, as well as a great
constitutional lawyer, took the floor this
| afternoon to make impassoned protest
! against the administrations cause in recog-
| nizing Panama.
The drift of democratic sentiment in
nection with the Panama treaty as far as
| can be judged from the expressions thus
| far made is to cavil as much as possible at
| the administrations method of securing
| the canal, and then in the end to vote for IL.
| 1t is evident that the democrats Will hold
the administration up to criticism upon
| every occasion for its recognition of the
| Panama republic and for preventing Colom-
bia, as the democrats alleged the admins
tration did prevent, from suppressng the
inSurrection.
Republican Leaders Confer.
| The republican leaders Of the Senate have
| been considering what should be done with
| Senator Hoar's resolution of inquiry, which
| has been the occasion for this talk 1t was
| said this afternoon that the resolution will
| go to the committee foreign relations.
where it will be modified so as to conform
| to certain proprieues expected of the inter-
| course between the Senate and the Pres-
| ident, and when reported back to the Sen
ate, with these notifications, to be
| adopted.
| The Senate leaders, it is said. are not

had oeen discussed Dy the PRESIDENT In his
message, amply in some respects, but In
other respects very sparsely.
Mr.. Cullom called attention to the fact
that the treaty has not been acted upon by
the committee on foreign relations and inti-
mating that it was not in order to discuss
it. Mr. Daniel retorted by saying that there
SIS so much nervousness over any inquiry
on the part of republican senators as 70
cause them TO jump before they have been
spurred."
He reiterated his statement that the
President had discussed the treaty In
public and called attention to Secretary
Loomis' New York speech as well as to
the debates in the Senate. and declared
that never before had there been such
a thorough defiance and contempt of the
law of secrecy which prevails in diplo-
matte affairs as have been displayed in
this matter" Mr.. Daniel also referred to
