STEERING COMMITTEE.
Democratic Leaders Considering the
Measures Before Congress.

Washington, November DThe Demo-
cratic steering committee of the Senate
was in session for two hours today, the
greater part of which time was devoted
to the consideration of the situation on
the isthmus. The question was discuss
ed in all its aspects, but especial atten-
ton was given to the allegation that
this country has beer instrumental in
producing the reVOIt at Panama and
Colon. a number of the Senators pres
ent express the opinion that the admin
iStratiOn had not been unfriendly TO
nor ignorant of the movement from Its
beginning, but it was decided to wait
until there is further light upon the
question before advising the Democrats
to take a position on the question as a
party. Some of the members expressed
the opinion that the mass of the peo-
pie are SO anxious to secure a canal
that many would even endorse a revo-
luton on the isthmus, if it should prove
Il means of securing one. Senator Nor
gan was before the committee for quite
a time and advocated q vigorous policy
of criticism.
The steering committee also discussed
the question of policy to be pursued
with reference to action upon the pro-
posed measure putting in force the Gu
"a treaty. 1t was decided to postpone
further consideration of this question
until the house sends Over its bill. 1t
was apparent, however. that a MAORI
ty of the democratic senators would
oppose the bill.
The steering committee also took up
the subject of r~e-organizing the Senate
committees and decided to meet from
day to day for the purpose of filling the
Democratic committee vacancies.

Kishineff (Bessarabia) by the united
action of the leading Jewish mer-
chants of New York in donating 2 per
