Washington, Jan 29.-The senate
adopted the resolution by Senator
CulbertsOn from the democratic eau
Gus which calls on the president to
state whether the senate has been sup
piled with all the facts bearing on the
Panama controversy. The vote was
unanimous. The CulbertsOn inquiry
no sooner had been disposed of than
the Bacon resolution looking 10 an ad-
iustment of our differences with Col
cmbia by arbitration was considered.
Senator Bacon made a speech in sup
pert of the proposition, holding that
even if there was no truth in Colon
bias charges. the mere fact that the
charges were made raised an issue
which should be met in a cOnciliatoTy
manner Senator Mitchell introduced

contended there had been nc inter
