READY WAGED.

Washington, Dec. 19.-When the SEN
ate met today Mr.. German asked inn
mediate cOnsidera ton for a resolution
directing the postmaster general to
send TO the senate the reports of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General BristOw
and Holmes Conrad and Charles c..
Bonaparte, special commissioners for
the government. He said that the re-
ports for which the resolution called
already had been sent 20 the house AID
had been printed.
Mr.. Lodge suggested that the house
document be reprinted, but MI Cor
man said that the document had only
been published by house committee
and he preferred to have the infOrma
ton direct from the head of the post
Office department.
Mr. Quay then made objection and
asked for the DISAPPOINTMENT of the con-
s;deration for a day. This objection had
the effect of postponing the consider
alton until after the holidays.
Mr.. Pettus' Speech.
The Morgan resolution offered yes
terday was then laid before the senate.
Mr.. Pettus said that if Panama was an
Independent nation Il was important 10
know whether it was legitimately such.
He said IL was important to know
whether the participation of the United
States in the birth of the nation had
been of a character to tarnish the honor
OF this country.

Mr. Pettus announced it to be his
purpose to conhne his consideration 70
the legal aspects Of the case, adding
that If the recital should prove a severe
l reflection upon the administration. the
fault must be attributed to the law, and
not to himself. He quoted authorities
to show that de factO governments
should only be recognized when estao-
/ lished. and declared that such law was
/ a severe commentary upon what the
/ United States has been doing in Pan

should always be consulted rather than

War Practically Begun.
Mr.. Pettus contended that If the
