Special Dispatch by George L. Marvin.
Washington, December 17-Sena-
tor Joseph Benson Foraker appeared
as the special champion of Pres dent
Roo sevelt and the administration in
the Senate today. Moreover, he did
it well. It was on the question of
ratifyirg the Panama treaty.
Senator Hoar. whose tendency to
Jump the Republican fence and en-
barrass his colleagues of the same
political faith has grown prOverbial,
set in motion the legislative ma
chinery which brought about the
sensational develope ments of the
afternoon.
Mr.. Hoar arose to speak on a reso-
luton which he had presented. call
ing upon the President to submit to
the Senate information concerning
the Panama Revolution. The reso-
luton was worded in a manner to
suggest that the administration had
knowledge of the revolution before
il occurred. and took steps in antici-
patton thereof which prevented Co
lombla from suppressing the revolu-
tion. Senator Hoar read his remark
from manuscript before a Grove d
Senate.
His Republican colleagues, with
faces like thunderclouds, sat ST
lent while he, by his insinuation, ar
raigned the administration for its
action. Hardly had he finished when
Senator German, the Democratic
leader, seeing what he belived to be
the opportunity of further embar-
RAISING the Republicans, secured the
floor. He spoke for more than an
hour His talk was intensely parti.
san and highly dramatic. At its close
Senator Foraker delivered the last
address of the day. lie spoke direct
" in reply to the speech of Senator
| Ioar.
The Senator from Ohio was visibly
/ agitated at the position assumed By
the Senator from Massachusetts,
which he regaded As an unwarranted
assumption of insincerity upon tho
part of the President. With an ear
nestness of manner and an intensity
of feeling even greater than he usu
ally exhibits, Mr.. Foraker reviewed
the entire history of the Panama
matter. He closed by defending a
length the action of the President
and explaining the condition in Pan
anna prior to the revolution. Hi
lspeech was given almost withou
notes and little or no preparation
1t was one of the strong speeches o
the session.
