Information.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The senate in
executive session ratified tie treaty
for the extension of the commercial
relations" between the United States
and China. and then removed the in
junction of secrecy. No opposition
was manifested by any senator to the
treaty. though Nelson made :ong
speech in which he criticised the con-
vention as making insufficient provis on
for the trade of the United States. He
said 1t indicated that the hand Of Rus
STA had been shown against this coun-
try, making it impossible for the Unit
ed States to receive the concessions
needed in the way of open ports. He
said that the ports of Mukden and
Antung. which are opened under the
treaty provisions. are in fact inland
ports. accessible only to vessels of
light draft.
Looks for Trouble Over Manchuria.
He blamed Russia for this condi-
ton of affairs. and warned the SEN
ate that We may yet have trouble with
that country over the Manchurian ques-
ton. which he said had been RESPONSE
BILE for the inability of the United
States plenipotentiaries to obtain the
opening of other important ports un-
der more favorable conditions. The
attitude taken by Nelson was upheld
in speeches by number of other SEN
ators, although 1t was argued at the
same time that this treaty is an en-
tering wedge to our trade and that
it was the best China was able to do
under Russian duress. Lodge said the
treaty would have a bearing on the
settlement of the Far Eastern queS
ton, and other senators said Russian
objection had never been visible

He Declares the Treaty Public Matter.
Citing the President and Loomis.
Most of the senate session was &C.
cupied by Daniel in a speech against
the Panama proceedings. He was
called to order by Cullom. who said
the treaty with Panama was not
matter to be discussed in open ses-
sion- But Daniel replied that the
president had discussed the treaty in
public and called attention to Assist
ant Secretary LOOMS speech, as well
as to the debates in the senate, and
declared that never before has there
been such a thorough defiance and con.
tempt of the law of secrecy which pre-
walls id diplomatic affairs as was DIS
played in this matter"
Daniel said he knew of no require
ment in international law for the rec.
ignition of a new government before
it was formed. Things were happen
ing in Washington before there was
anything doing on the isthmus. When,
where ard at what time, he asked,
had the United States undertaken to
send out forces to the border of any
country to prevent that country from
keeping peace in it's own territory?
There was not at that time even the
germ of a republic Indeed, he de-
cared, the United States had -lshed
to the aid of the new republic not
withstanding that, like Richard Ill,
1t had come into this breathing world
scarce half made up"
1T was not the state of Panama
that organized the revolution said
Daniel. 1T was the city, and not
the state that is responsible for the
outbreak of the revolution on the 18TH
mus. 1t was the municipal officers,
her common councillors and her citi-
zens who organized the secession. With
out delay an ambassador was appoint
ed to this country, and If that new
republic had any independence 1t was
soon snuffed out by the acts Of that
ambassador"
He contended that the independence
of Panama had not been well estab-
lished, as has been stated. and In this
connection called attention to the fact
that the country has no constitution.
He declared that the popnlace of the
United States should not allow their
sereuity to be disturbed by a minis
ter from Panama fitting from place
