 uation on the isthum had been invited for political purposes, and on this point said
 A war party it may be said is in this | country never defeated. Can it be In 1 the mind of any man that desperate political chance, growing out of the de- pressed conditions. makes it necessary for political success that the flag and that the armies of the country may be exhib- i tied in some foreign land to strengthen 1 the party and secure party powerY 1T such a thought has entered the mind Of 1 any man here, the body ought to stay It. ] The fathers created this body, so that 1t can prevent imprudent action. It has but seldom permitted the excitement Of the 1 hour, the desires of ambitious men to put in jeopardy the honor of the government or It's commercial prosperity.
 MT. Foraker Speaks.
 When Mir. German had concluded, Mir Foraker began severe arraignment or MT. Hoar position, saying that when ne read the newspaper accounts Of the demo- cratic caucus which agreed that the eau GUS action should be binding, he knew that there would be trouble that the democrats would vote as unit on every matter except when the vote interlered with individual conscience
 Something the republicans do not have" interjected MT. Tillman. Continuing, Mr. Foraker said that he did not know who would be the demo- cratic exception but suspected since MT. Tillman yesterday displayed his rare i knowledge of all matters scriptural, thai he would be the one.
 Attention was called by MT. Foraker to MT. Hoars announcement that the speech he was about to make should be in executive session, and said MT. Foraker, perhaps he thinks that the an- nouncement a sufficient apology for going on and making in open session speech which he has acknowledged should have been made only in executive session, and which, added MT. Foraker, has been suggested to me should not have been made at all"
 Mir Foraker declared that an attack had not been made upon the President alone. but upon the country and when the eyes of the world was upon us it would be the better part of patriotism and conservatism, he said, to have asked for the desired information in executive ses- sion, where it could have been obtained just as we'll and every purpose of the senator from Massachusetts would have been subserved if the matter had been discussed behind closed doors.
 TiIIman Asks Tart Question.
 MT. Tlllman asked Senator ,Foraker if he had any Knowledge of the msbilizlng of five thousand soldiers to march upon Bogota, and whether information of this character did not come from the White House.
 MT. Foraker said that nothing had been given to him on that subject and advised MT. Tillman if he wanted the information from the White House to apply there himself
 MT. Foraker said he could think of no action on the part of the President, call | ing for such remarks as those made by the senator from Massachusetts. Mr. Hoar interrupted MT. Foraker, and said:
 "rhe senator from Ohio either wholly misunderstood what I said or wlfully per- verts my meaning"
 After little further debate MT. Hoar sought to obtain the floor. saying he had been placed in a false light, but MT. For aker declined at first to yield, insisting his remarks were justified by MT. Hoars speech, but finally he gave way to MT. Hoar, who said:
 My point is this: I say that the Pres ident has said to the public and to the senate that he disclaimsi certain conduct as unworthy of him, and I called atten- tion to the fact that the documents which he sent in failed to make that clear by not distinctly disclaiming that he or the administration had notice of that revolu- tion or that our forces had prevented the lawful government from anticipating that outbreak, and that I believed from my knowledge of the President that hls statement was actually true. and there fore asked him to supply the lacking in- formation by stating on what ground the administration proceeded in taking the step-that is all. And I don't propose af- ter thirty-four years service within these walls to trouble myself to contradict again an imputatlon to me of any other meaning or indirectness or artifice on my part If the senator from Ohio chooses to charge me with 1t of course I cannot help it. hope he will do his duty"
 T am delighted retorted Mir. Foraker, that the senator from Massachusetts is not afraid of anybody. I do not know of any one whom he should be afraid of, anyway.
 Did Not Misrepresent
 He made a speech. l am attempting to make some answer to it. l submit to the senators here that I have not, no mat ter what the senator from Massachusetts has just now seen fit to say. misrepre- sented or perverted a single idea that he has expressed. What I said, understood to be the effect of his speech-that from the telegram read, he inferred the conclu- sion that there was contradiction of the statement of the President of the United States.
 Now, the President has stated there was no conference. no intrigue, yet the senator from Massachusetts, reading these telegrams, demands that the Presi- dent shall submit proof to him that he was telling the truth when he made the statement that he had not connived."
 MT. Foraker then proceeded to review the history of the uprising on the isth- mus, stating that the condition there was common knowledge to all newspaper readers.
 No agent was sent to the President of the United States and no agent was sent to Colombia" said MT. Foraker. "She had right, if she saw fit. to go into rev. olution Weeks before she declared in- dependence, 1t became known that she would take that stcp-not officially. hut to every one who studied that situation and knew what human nature would do under the circumstances"
 Washington Was Not Unmndfu.
 The administration at Washington was not unmindful of the situation, and the aAG t1... a.t- A-I
