 Should Be Relieved of complicity.


 MT. Simmons said he believed that the President and the secretary of state should be relieved of all charges of com plicity in the Panama revolt.
 He added that he did not believe that the possession of information concerning an approaching revolution should be &C., oepted as discredtirg the statement of the President and added:
 'In entire difference to the views of others on this side of the chamber, who may differ with me in this opinion, I think that the statement of the President in this respect should be accepted Un- doubtedly the President knew of the forthcoming revolution in Panama. It was his duty in view of imminent insur- rection to have on the ground a sufficient force to protect the lives and property of American citizens. This he did and if he had done no more than this he would have done no more than his duty under the law"
 MT. Simmons announced his belief that the change of recommendation for the route of the isthmian canal from Nica- ragua to Panama had been the result of honest conviction. He also accepted the Spooner act as a deliberate pronounce ment by congress in favor of Panama and a direction to the President to con- tract the canal by that route If possible to acquire the title in a reasonable time"

Presidents Action Cannot Now
 Be UndOne,
FIRST DEMOCRAT TO SPEAK
Considerable Discussion Takes Place on Measure Providing Means for Citizenship of Residents of
 Island Possessions.

Washington, January G.-The senate proceedings todays included a speech by Mir. Simmons of North Carolina in support of the Panama canal treaty and the pas sage of a number of bills and resolutions. MT. Simmons was the first democratic senator to speak in favor of the measure on the floor of the senate. He announced his dlsapproval of intervention of the United States in the Panama revolt, but said that as the revolution was an ac- complished fact and was such before the treaty was made, he could not accept the theory that the treaty itself was in valid
 The senate adopted the resolution au- thorizing the secretary of state to open ne- gotiations with Great Britain for re- vision of the joint regulations for the projection of the fur seals of Alaska and also the resolution authorizing the com mittee on privileges and elections to en- ter upon an investigation into the charges against Senator Reed Shoot of Utah. The Shoot resolution was amended so as to authorize the committee to sit during the congressional recess and the amendment was agreed to by the senate.
 The resolution on the Panama canal question introduced by MT. Daniels was laid before the senate and MT. Simmons of North Carolina spoke in support of the canal treaty, being the first democratic senator to take open position on that side of the controversy. He announced his conviction that both. under the Spoon CT act and under his general treaty mak- Ing power the President had authority to enter into a treaty with Panama after it became an independent state for the construction of a canal via the Panama route He said

Cannot Be Undone.

"What has been done in Panama has been done and cannot be undone. It was not done by the democratic party neither could that party have prevented it, there fore it is no way responsible for it's doing. If what has been done in Panama can be undone at all by this government 1t can only be undone by doing a greater wrong to Panama than already has been done to Colombia. Surely the defeat of this treaty will neither undo or remedy the wrong.
 "I am not here to defend the actions of the President, either In connection with the revolution or in recognition of the in dependence of Panama"
 There Is much in his conduct in these connections of which I disapprove which regard as improvident and unwise; as rash and dangerous to the peace and well fare of this country; as contrary to the traditional policy of this government in it's dealing with other nations, especially those on this hemisphere, and as not cal culated to advance us in the affections and esteem of other nations.
 'I do not think, however, that every thing the President did in this connection was wrong. From the bottom of my heart, l would be glad for the honor of my country if I could reconcile all of his acts in this connection with my notions of right and law, but I cannot and be honest with myself 2"

tanned the hope of accomplishing a
task similar to that to which Napoleon
set himself, present advices indicate
that they have abandoned it and have
adopted much more cautious and less
hazardous program.
If this information is correct there
will be no advance upon the army con-
centrated at Liaoyang and Mukden,
with its consequent constant length
ening and weakening of the Japanese
line OF communication. Instead there
seems to be determination to stick
as close as is possible to the sea, where
lies Japan's natural base of communi.
cation, she having established herself
in Korea.
The general staff reports say that
the japanese will have three other OBJ
iectives, the occupation of a line across
the Liaotnng peninsula for the purpose
of cutting off Port Arthur, the isola-
ton of VladivOstock and the esta blish
ment of a junction between the army
of Korea and the force at the head of
the Liaotung peninsula.
The last named mOveinent might he
accomplished by landing near the
mouth of the Tayang river, which by
threatening the flank of the Russian
position at Fenghuenchang might rem

easy
If these plans should succeed the
life of both Russian squadrons in the
Pacific would be menaced and with
the sea and fleet back of her at every
point Japan could fortify the position
thus gained, and, with the tables turn

forward and attack
Gen. Kuropatkin, however, is in
