Yelled Under Debate Upon
Panama Resolutions
IT MAY LAST FOR DAYS
When the Orators Rave Finally Ex-
hausted Themselves the Disposition
of the Main Question Will Take
Place Behind Closed Doors.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The senate has
no programme for the week beyond
the continuation of the debate on the
Panama question.
The fact that the German resolution
of inquiry was disposed of last week
does not change the situation except
that il makes necessary new basis
for speeches. This will be supplied
by resolutions introduced tomorrow as
a result of yesterdays conference OF
democratic senators.
"A number of addresses are still 10
be made on both sides of the contrc-
versy and it is quite certain the de-
bate will continue for many days. II
is well understood on both sides of the
chamber that in reality the treaty and
no particular resolution is being dis
cussed, the reason being that the trea-
ty itself could not be discussed in open
senate, whereas the resolutions can be.
Democrats prefer an open discussion
of the question and the republicans,
as matter of policy and in the in
terest of expedition of the vote on the
treaty, have not OBJECTED. When it
becomes apparent that the discussion
in the open session is exhausted. ex-
ecutive sessions will be ordered and
the debate will proceed behind closed
doors. 1t is quite well understood that
amendments to the treaty report by
the committee on foreign relations will
be Withdrawn before final action is
taken.

KANSAS WHEAT SITUATION.
Good Weather Causes Crop to Move
Out Fast.

Chicago. Jan. 24.-Kansas raised a Big
crop of wheat. The last three weeks
the weather has been perfect Roads
dry like city boulevards, and cars are
plenty. Farmers and dealers have
shipped out fast. Now not over % per
cent Of the wheat crop is still in fam
ers' hands.
Millers in Kansas have run to their
full capacity day and night. The trade
is good, and one miller said today that
he was making sales of flour which
netted 75c- to S1.O0 per barrel profit.
One dealer showed orders from ten
mills east of the Mississippi river for
wheat. orders running from two to ten
cars.
AS it now stands. Kansas cannot
spare any more wheat for export. The
new crop is a great deal less than last
year, and was put in very late or ac-
count of bad weather. The weather has
been very dry, but no damage has been
done. A cold snap would cause damage.
