WAsHINGToNLETTER.
From our Regular Cor respondent.

The democrats ir the Sen.
ate have been seriously mis-.
represented with regard to
their attitude towards t he
Panama Canal, said Senator
Arthur P. German. the dam.
orratic leader, when asked to
make a statement by your
correspondent. 1.-The demo

the view that an important
treaty Of this character
should not be treated as a
party measure. should be
considered and perfected ac-
cording to the best Judge.
ment OF the Senate. A MAORI
ty in Congress, without re
gard to party, ia vors the con
struction of an isthmian ca
nal, as is demonstrated by
the fact that the act authoIi
zing such a canal received al.
most unanimous support
from members OF both par
ties. The minority believes
that the treaty negotiated
by Secretary Hay requires
several amendments in order
to bring it into harmony
with the act of Congress un-
der which it was negotiated
and to safeguard the inter-
ests OF the United States. Ar.
ticle % is in obvious viola-
tion OF that provision of the
Spooner act which provides
that the United States shall
acquire the right to police,
protect and govern the strip
through which the canal shall
pass in a way that oblivions
~ implies sovereignty. These
facts have been presented to
the republican leaders a n d
some Of them appreciate the
force of the democratic con-
ventions. What their course
will be l am not prepared to
predict?"
Just after Mr.. German
made the above sta tement,
the republican steering COM
mittee held a meeting to con
slider the program for the re-
maibder OF the special ses>
sion and determined to rati-
fy, if possible, the Panama
canal treaty as it stands.
They further agreed to ac-
cept the amendment offered
by Senator Bacon IN the com
mittee on Foreign Relations,
and adopted by that commit
tee, which provides that the
Cuban treaty shall not go in
to effect until it has been zap
proved by the Congress-" An
agreement has been reached
between the leaders Of both
parties to read the canal trea
ty for amendment. all speech
es being limited to fifteen
minutes duration, and to per
NIT OF two hours debate. The
Cuban treaty will then be
taken up in earnest and. as
amended, will be ratified and
adjournment taken immedi>
ately afterwards. 1t is deem
ed probable that the special
session will adjourn the lat
ter part Of this week, altho'
no definite decision has been
reached.
The President does n o t
hesitate to say that he re-
grets the adoption of the Ba
con amendment to the Cuban
treaty and he has threatened
to call both houses of Con.

only object in securing the
adoption OF the amendment
was to avoid a violation Of
the constitution, but the re-
publican leaders. m any of
whom are secretly opposed
to any form ofreciproeity be
cause they fearit meaEs the
beginning of thu end of t he
protective system, express
themselves as emphatically
opposed to the extra session
before election and it is prob
able that Mr.. Roosevelt will
give heed to their wishes and
if he calls an extra session at
all, refrain from 80 doing un.
til next November. He as-
serts now that he will certain
" do 80 then If not before.
Senator Aldrich is believed
to be preparing to urge h | 8
fina ocial bill, with possibly
some notifications, mex t
winter. He has obtained the
consent of the Senate to call
his committee in session du'
ring the recess and, as it il
known that be does not con.
template any tariff revision,
it Is believed his purpose is
to fra me some sort of curren
cy legislation. It is generally
conceded that the Fowler cur
rencv bill, even if it passes
the House, will be rejected by
the Senate. The upper cham
Der, at least in go fal Jas the
majority is concerned, is un-
alterab1y opposed to any
form of fiat currency, which
is what the Fowler bill pro-
vides Tor. An extension OF the
banking system of currency
along lines agreeable to the
national bankers may be ex-
pected from the Aldrich COM
nlittee and doubtless a seri

enactment next session will
be made.

We stated in December that prices
