STILL PANAMA Senator Daniels Follows
 Objections of MT. HOar
 A MORGAN RESOLUTION
It Cons!rues the Course of the Govern ment to Be a Declaration of War Against Colombia, Contrary to the Constitution of the United States.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-The relation ship of the United States to the new republic of Panama continued to be the leading theme in the senate today but the discussion was confined to one senator and was not so exciting as yesterday. Mir. Daniel of Virginia was the speaker and he advocated the acceptance of MT. Hoar's resolution calling on the president for more in- formation relative to the November revolution in Panama
 MT. Daniel, in speaking on the Pan- anna question, referred to Minister Runau- Varilla, and said of him that while all men play many parts in the course of their lives, that gentleman had played more parts in a shorter time than any other actor who had challenged favor from back of the footlights."
 Taking up the resolution, he said that he did not want to see the United States involved in a war with France or Colombia and he was inclined to ac- cept with a grain of salt the sensation al headline printed in papers yesterday over the speeches of Acting Secretary Looncis and Minister Bunau-Varilla- Some people, he said, seek to establish a wide open republic, "as if some pro- dieious Tammany were about to take possession of the country, and they were shaking their red lights from many points," He contended that the independence of Panama had not been well founded as has been stated and in this connection he called attention to the fact that the country has no constitution.
 MT. Daniel said he knew of no re- quirement in international law for the recognition of a new government be- fore it was formed. Things were hap I'ent,nS, in Washington before there was anything doing on the isthmus. Then. 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 country. There was not at that time even a germ of d re- nublic--not even the phantom of a re- public.
 'It was not the state of Panama that organized the revolution said MT. Daniel. "It was the city and not the state that is responsible for the outbreak Of the revolution on the is thmus." Without delay an ambassador was appointed to this country and if that new republic had any independ- ence it was soon snuffed out by the acts of that ambassador"
 When Mir Daniels closed. MT. Full ton (of Oregon) took the floor to ad- vocate the passage of the bill provid- ing an appropriation for the proposed Lewis and Clark exposition. He said that the only request is that the Un- ited States government shall make pro- vision for participa ton in the celebra- tion, but even if congress should fail to make an appropriation the eXposi tfon would be opened and held. He contanded that the exposition would not be a local affair. All the states travslsed by Lewis and Clark were concerned, and the event was in many ressects of national importance. He believed that the people would endorse the appropriation, as he believed they had endorsed all previous appropria- tions of like character. The acquisi- tion of the Oregon country had, he said been second in importance only to tho acquisition of Louisiana, and some circumstances combine to render it equally important.
 Or the motion of MT. Mitchell the eX- noc;tion bill was referred to the com mittee on industrial eXrositiOns.
 An executive session of the senate was held. The doors were reopened and the senate resumed it's legislative session and after the passage of a large humber of private pension bills, at 5:4? D. m. ad ;ourned.
