Washington, Feb. 9.-The senate to- day passed the diplomatic and consul lar appropriation bill without debate. and then renewed consideration of the isthmian question.
 MT. Fulton spoke in support of the course of the administration in connec- ton with the Panama revolt. and MT. Catmack =nd MT. Overton Tn oppoc:- tion thereto.
 Mir. Overton had not hitherto mad his position on the treaty known, and his speech revealed the attitude Cf probably the last doubtful member of the senate.
 He announced his opposition to the canal treaty on the ground that the United States had violated the obliga- tions cf the treaty of 1S46.
 Mir. Carmack also stated his views in opposition to the treaty, saying he felt impelled to do so because of the fact that he had received a number of petitions asking him to support it.
 MT. Carmack announced his great desire that there should be a canal. but said he did not believe the fate of the canal is involved in the treaty, be- cause he was satisfied that if the presi- dent could not get a canal via the Panama route he would follow the Spooner law and accept the Nicaragua route.

MT. Cacmack also charged that the president had spoken with contempt of congress, and said that he should be taught that he is not the entire gov ernment."
 MT. Carmack then spoke of Minister Bunau Vanilla as ''base intriguer and a characterless adventurer." In conclusion he expressed the opin- ion that the treaty would be ratified. and he said that mo doubt the presi- | dent will rejoice at his triumph over | justice and law
 Mr. Fulton, of Oregon, spoke for the
 treaty. He said the proposed canal was the greatest enterprise that the world has ever been engaged in. He had, he said, found difficulty in endorsing the course of the admins ! traticn in Panama, but he contended that Congress had no power to enter into an inquiry into that course be- cause the president was acting within his constitutional powers MT. Fulton spoke of Colombia as country for which it was impossible to | do anything because of the charac cter of its people, Of whom he said that
 "their diabolism is but the natural in- | stinct of d race of buccaneers" He | said MT. Roosevelt needed no defense | against MT. Carmack's attacks, and ! added that, whether the president ! should be again called to that high of | flee or not, his future reputation would be that of one of the purest. ablest and most patriotic of presidents.
 MT. Fulton also said that while dem ! ccrats now praise President Mckinley | it had been only a few months sine | he was denounced by them as a ty- rant. Roosevelt was the choice for 1 president, and he predicted his election | by such a majority as had never before ] been known.
