CANAL TREATY WINS.
SENATE RATlFIES THE PACT
WITH PANAMA.
Vote 10 Taken After Long Debate and
Great 1sthmian Channel L. Made
Possibie-AlI Amendments Are Re-
3cctel in Executive Session.

Late Tuesday afternoon the Senate Of
the United States ratified the treaty
with the Republic of Panama for the
obstruction of ship canal acress the
.sthmus. The vote was taken before the
Senate opened its doors after the execu-
tive session.
The Senate met at II o'clock-an hour
earlier .han usual. Teller. of Colorado.
and Simmons, of North Carolina, voiced
the last protests of the opponents of the
convention with Panama. Simmons.
however, declared his intention of voting
for ratification. In the executive ses-
sion Senator Morgan spoke at length in
denunciatiOn Of the treaty, and was an
swered by Senators Cullom and Lodge
The opponents admitted defeat and de-
sertion of their comrades to the treaty's
banner.
When the Senate went into executive
session to bring the treaty to a vote the
amendments offered by the committee on
foreign relations and afterward with
drawn were offered again and voted
down. The Bacon amendment, providing
for treaty with Colombia, with a view
to satisfying any future demands Of that
country on account of the secession of
Panama, also was rejected.
Just three months and twenty days
had elapsed between the declaration of
independence Of the Republic of Panama
and ratification Of the treaty with that
republic by the Senate. 1t was Nov. 8,
1908, that the people of the isthmus
threw of their allegiance to Colombia.
Three days later the government Of the
United States recognized the independ-
ence Of Panama. Twelve days later the
terms Of treaty between the United
States and Panama were signed in WASH
ington by representatives Of both gov
ernmentS.

up and HObson's exploit with the Mer-
