STONE IS FOR TREATY
MISSOURI SENATOR WILL VOTE
 FOR RATIFICATION.
At the Same Time He Wants Made Clear the Alleged Comphcity of the Administration in
 Panama Revolution.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The time Of the | Senate today was again divided between consideration of the Panama question ana other subjects. There was only one speech on the canal and 1t was mace by MT. Stone of Missouri. who spoke to a resolution directing the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations to make an ! investigation into the Panama revolt. He contended that the circumstances indi- cated complicity on the part of the United States in the secession of Pana- ma and urged that in the interest Of the country's good name all the facts should be known.
 MT. Stone did not discuss the merits of the canal treaty, but made an appeal TOT a searching investigation. He said that he could not shut his eyes to the fact that our interference in Panama had a suspicious and sinister appearance. He did not charge intentional wrong, but att tributed our course there to the Presi- dents "volcanic nature' and his Hove for the tragic, lurid and sensational" He said the President had boldly an- nounced fin the clustering diction of the bucaneer," his intention ito seize the isthmus of Panama if Colombia did not ratify the Hay-Herran treaty" and added l that he had done this without disguise or shame.
 
 dents attitude would be most gratifying | to John c. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis were they living. Panama could do noth- ing unless IrSependent and "the President thus admits his willingness to inspire revolt and aid rebellion" If the Presi- dent was willing to foster revolt, he must have been willing to uphold 1t. Hence he (Stone) was unable to understand why the President should be so sensitive over aI,o nH
 Mir. Stone made 1t plain that he would vote for the treaty in the interest of a canal.
 MT. Stone charply criticized M. Bunau- Vartlla and said he had been Instrumental in bringing about the revolution. He re- ferred to newspaper reports to the effect that assurances were given by Bunau- Varilla, Amador and DuQues of the aid to be expected from the United States and urged an inquiry to develope tho truth of these statements.
 Mir. Stewart defended the administration against what he said were the misrepre- sentations of opposing Senators. He in- sisted that Panama never had been 8 legitimate part of Colombia and that she would have achieved her independence fifty years ago but for the interference of the United States to protect the isthmlan transit. He declared that "oNSI hau lhSre Deeu WoEse sans oA robbers than the men who constitute the government of Colombia.
 The resolution went over. The Senate then passed the following bills:
 Appropriating $170,O00 to pay clerks in the executive departments for extra ser vice during the war with Spain; Provid- ing for the construction of memorial bridge across the Potomac from Wash ington to the Arlington estate, to cost s. OO0,O0O Also, 1S7 private pension bills and bills for relief from military disabili- ties. The Senate at SOS went into execu- tive session and at 5:11 adjourned.

ofad there was not a line of custom houses along the Potomac and along the Ohio to protect one side against the other. He asked if a stronger word than ..impetuous'' had not been used in re- ferring to the President. Referring to Mir. Boutelrs statement that Roosevelt would be the Republican nominee. Mir. Williams said:
 "You have gone so far. you can't go back and you are going to stand pat on him."
 Replying to the charge that they had worshiped the idol of opposition to the holding of the Philippines, he said Wash ington fought and soldiers starved at Val ley Forge because opposed to principles involved in this charge He told the ma jority to stand pat on what he termed that un-American policy and again re- ferred to 1t as "colonialism, recklessness, land grabbing and greed" and spoke of putting bullets in the brown man." The Accidental Incumbent. ssThe distinguished accidental incumbent Of the house at the other end of the ave- nue dared to call Thomas Jefferson a he said. ''Is the man a coward who in the eighteenth century dared to deny the divinity of Christ and run for the Presidency?"
 AA atAc W Ct U a Q0CsSAOu Dy MI. DUutch, Mr. Williams announced himself most positively on the silver question.
 'Conditions are such that the silver question has been relegated to the rear," he declared amid Democratic applause.
 Mir. Williams explained that he was speaking simply as the representative of the Eighth Mississippi District and for himself alone.
 Giving 6 reason for the relegation of the silver question to the rear, Mir. Williams called attention to the fact that in 1893 the annual output of gold was $10s. .O00. 900. while now 1t was $40, 0oo.OOo. Mir. Bou- tell shook hands with Mir. Williams when he had concluded.
 General debate was extended. The report of the Connell- Howell elec- ton contest was submitted and referred 70 the calendar.
 At b:47 ?. m. the House adjourned until eornorrow.

THE POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.
Present Phase One of Either 0ptin-
 ism of Psssimism.

Present Phase One of Either Optina-
 ism of Psssimism.
 Paris, Jan. 26-The Russian answer has not yet been sent to Japan and it now deevlops that the points of difference heretofore mentioned in these dispatches have become the main obstacles in the way of reaching an agreement. even threatening the possibility of a deadlock in the negotiations. These points are:
 First, in Manchuria, Russia declines to concede such unrestricted admission of Japanese as will permit the establlsns ment of Japanese settlement.
 Second, in Korea, Russia insists that Japan's privileged position should not per init her to establish control of the ingress and egress of the sea of Japan by for tifying the straits of Korea.
 Concerning these points and the gen- sral status of the negotiations, the fol- lowing semi-ofilciaI statement, emanating from the highest sources, is made:
 "The question is undergoing alternate periods of depression and encouragement For three or four days 1t was believed that a final agreement was very near at hand, but yesterday the situation became a little less hopeful
 Although this slightly unfavorable turn continues, it is hoped that 1t will prove a passing cloud, for the present situation warrants neither optimism nor pessimism. being so evenly balanced that those intimately conversant with the ne- gotiations are unable definitely to fore- see the final result.
 Concerning Corea, Japan is showing great caution in accepting Russla's as- surances of Japanese paramount author- ity in Corea. Therefore. Japan feels that her safety requires the right to for tify the coast of Southeast Corea, par ticularly Fusan, the point opposite tho Japanese island of Tsuhima. but Russia is unwilling to concede this. believing the effect will be to make the Sea of Ja- pan a closed sea, as the result of this would-be that East Siberia would be per- petually cut off from the ocean. The is- sue appears to be one which affects the interests of the maritime powers as well as Russia.
 ''The latter has rail outlets from the coast on the sea of Japan. but the other powers are without such means of com munication and, 1t would seem, have an interest in seeing that the entrance to the sea remains unfortified and open.
 Concerning Manchuria, the chief diff ficulty still open is the limitation of the right to establish Japanese settlements. Russia does not appear to object to the full liberty of Japanese coming or go- ing individually for purposes of trade or otherwise. but she is unwilling to con- cede rights permitting Japanese settle ments in villages similar to the foreign settlement at Shanghai.
 There are still strong hopes that the parties may find means of adjusting these points. but for the present they consti- tute the main issues remaining open.'

Senator Stone's Speech.

Senator William J. Stone of Missouri, made a remarkable maiden speech today. He had the closest attention of the Sem ate and held his auditors to the close It was an extraordinary speech. It was a fearful arraignment of the course of the administration in the Panama Republic affair and held up to scorn and lasting shame every body connected with the making and recoSnition of the republic.
 The Senator's language was ornately classic. forceful and graceful, and his impuEnment of the conduct of the Gov ernment impressively uttered. But he closed by saying that he was uncertain where his duty lay as a Senator and that added to the curious character of the speech.

pleting Notifications that have held
the Japanese armies in check Many
people, think that the fortress will be
taken. The general impression of men
who are familiar with the situation is
that the Japanese can take the place
at any time when they are willing to
sacrifice a large number of men. There
are about II forts in the defences and
the capture of one fort does not mean
that the place is to fall, as each fort
less is generally open to the guns from
still another Fort"

duplicity from japanese that other
correspondents did. He says that the
Japanese garbled the cable reports in
an unwarranted manner often DELHI

He says that finally he became dis

battle of Liaoyang and went out and
saw the entire fight. Bass was war
correspondent for the New York Her

ent war has been of a high order, and

SUGAR MARKETS
GREAT STRENGTH
EUROPEAN ORDERS AND RE-
PORTS OF POOR CROPS CAUSE
UPWARD TREND.

High European cables for beet sugar
and some disheartened crop reports
tended to support quotations, and the
general level moved upward. Large
purchases of Cuban sugar are reported
for shipment in January Importers
are holding raw grades we'll above
former prices and forcing rehners to
advance bids where they desire to place
contracts. The tone of the whole mar
ket has recently developed great
strength. Refined sugar is sharing very
little in the improved feeling, because
jobbers and other buyers appear to
have current requirements fully sup
piled. Yet Withdrawals on old con-
tracts are heavy and much new bust
ness is expected to develop shortly.
New Orleans.-Sugar from the plan
tations is coming in freely; prices re.
ceived are quite satisfactory and on ar
average of one cent above that of las
year. The demand is good, and, Will,
| there is very slight decline in quota

maintained. Molasses and syrups ar,
