PLAN TO THwART THE DEMOCRAT.
Republicans Propose to insure Canal
by Resolation II Treaty. Fails.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Dec. 2s.-The Republican
leaders in Congress say they have card
to play. If the Panama Canal treaty, by
any mischance not now expected, should
fail of ratification. They propose. in that
event, to pass through both holses res
olution, which requires only a majority
vote. directing the President to take the
necessary action for the acceptance of the
concession of the canal strip from the Re-
public of Panama.
1t will be recalled that the annexation
OF Hawaii was accomplished in that way,
after treaty of annexation had failed in
the Senate. Texas also was brought into
the Union in like manner and, in the case
of Cuba, Congress performed in an appro-
priation bill functions that properly
should have been left to treaty.
There is no lack OF precedents, therefore,
for such action. and It may be stated that
the Republican leaders are prepared to
take it whenever It shall become apparent
that the Senate cannot ratify the treaty.
Il Is not proposed. OF course, to annex
Panama. but II is claimed that reSolu-
ton could specify the powers conferred
upon the President to conclude. negotia-
tons for the canal strip.
