German took the floor as soon as
Hoar had concluded, and there was
from TIE start evident interest in wr.t
he might say. He said that Democrat
ic senators generally are as favorable
to the construction Of the canal as
are Republicans. He congra tulated

proceeded to, criticise the speech made
by Assistant Secretary Loomis before
the Quill club in New York a few
nights ago. He referred to the fact
that the Panama treaty was at that
time a secret document so far as Of
ficial action was concerned.
Heretofore treaties similarly situ-

executive officials, and he did not be-
lieve that any secretary or assistant
secretary should of his own motion

thority" violate this secrecy until the
Injunction Of secrecy should be re-
moved by the senate itself.

The report says, referring to the Tul-

prima facie case is presented of willful
and reckless disregard by the late first
assistant postmaster general Of obfiga-

In summarizing the results Of their

and gravely discreditable abuses dur

Panama situation at banquet at
which perhaps many were excited by

the patriotism to land marines and
seize part Of the territory of the re-
