situation in the Senate. 1t is a source
of qualification to the minister that
il has been practically decided not
to amend the convention. Had the

amendment it is considered certain
that strong pressure would have been
brought to bear On the junta by in

the present treaty to insert amend

treaty quite unsatisfactory to this

Senator Cullom. chairman of the

an executive session of the Senate
to take up the Panama treaty. Some
Senators desire to discuss the Pan

this desire, senator Cullom IN other

Washington, January 21-Mr. Plat
OF Connecticut, concluded his speech
on Panama today consuming most
of time of h open session, after
the expiration of the morning hours.
He defended the course of the Presl-
lent throughout the Panama revolt
and ~eulogized the executive person
sally as brave and fearless. During
the morning hour, Mr.. Morgan spoke
In explanation Of his bill for the
annexation of Panama to the United
States, basing his argument on the
ground that the canal treaty prac-
tically contemplates that result and
said in effect that if il was to be
done at all, it should be lone by
legislation.
Mr.. Morgan spoke of h difficult
ties which the ountry has
tered in Panama, saying that they
are not of the country's seeking, but
were due to the precipitancy of the
President of the United States. 1t
was. however. impossible to undo
what had been done and he contend

be in accordance with legislation. In
order to get rid of the consequences
of our acts, we must make. he said,
some equitable arrangement with
Panama, for il was not to be sup
posed that Colombia meant to u b
nit calmly. If, he argued, We are
to build a canal in Panama, W. must
have the good will of Colombia, for
without it the obstacles OF disease
and outlawry will be infinitely in
creased.
Mr.. Morgan predicted hat the
President would not be able to Sc
cure future appropriations. Indeed
he said, Il don't believe hat he
want appropriations. 1t IS better
for campaign purposes that legisla-
ton on the canal question should
consist of promises only
He said that he had Inserted in
his bill the provision for the pay
nent of s15,000,00 for the pacifica-
ton Of Colombia because he had
heard tina the President had en-
tered int Dan agreement for the pay
ment of that sun for that
MI. Plat defended the President
against the charge of committing an
act Of war, or even an act of inter
v%ention, denying that his acts in con-
nection with the Panama revolt
amounted to either. The charges
that the President knew of the revo-
luton and had connived at IL, Mr..
Platt characterized as d~isgraceful
and untrue. He maintained the Pres
ident a the right TO protect transit
across the isthmus ever against Co

ment of the Colombian forces and
was interrupted by Mr.. Tillman, who
asked if the attitude Of the Colon
bian forces was not in the nature OF
"a dicker or badger to increase of
going" Mr.. Plat replied that Mr..
Hubbard and his AZ men had nothing
to do with the buying of the depart
ure OF the Colombian troops. The
act of Col. Black in raising the flag
Of the Panamanian nation was de-
Tended on the ground that ne was
engaged at the time in civilian duty
and raised the flag after the new
government IA formed. There

ROtten-Eggs in Politics.

Leadville, Oct. 26.-Speciai.-
The Democratic managers in this
city claim to have positive infor-
nation that Governor Peabody s
trip over the state has been de-
signed for the purpose of leading
up to demonstration i'll Leadville,
which, it is believed, will material
ly help him before the voters.
The plan of the local Peabody
men, it is claimed, is to have the
governor rotten-egged as he drives
through the streets of this city, and,
perhaps, to have one or two harm
less bombs exploded near his car
riage. This performance is sup
posed to be for the purpose of draw
ing sympathy to the governor by
creating the belief that his oppo-
nents are lawless and dangerous
persons.
Mr.. Adams friends contemplate
formally notifying the local Repub-
1ican committee of the alleged dis
covery of this plot and warning
them that it is known. 1t is felt
that to carry out such campaign
trick would reflect upon this city
and give it a bad reputation all
over the world.
