THE most important victory OF TINS
session of Congress has been won by the
democrats Of the Senate, who, under the
leadership Of Senator German, have
forced the republicans to agree to oena-
torial Investigation of the POstOfice De
partment. Announcement OF repuDh-
can plan to order an investigation by
committee of the Senate has caused row
among the republican leading members
of the body. The plan outlined yester'
dav had not been confded to several OF
the leading republican Senators, and they
are now bitterly opposed to it. Sena-
tor PenrOse, who offered a resolution
directing his committee on postoihces
fees and post roads to make an lnyesll-
cation. is responsible for much OF the
present trouble. Senators PenrOse, Lodge,
Spooner and Aldrich agreed that, IN view
of the insinuations and charges made by
the democrats, the Senate should order
an investigation to be carried on by a
Senate committee after Congress ad-
iourns. Senators Hale. Allison and Others
were not consulted, and have since de-
clared themselves opposed to 1t. The
whole controversy now is over the ques-
ton of political expediency The
proposition of those who favor or
dering an investigation is to so word the
resolution that the investigating commit
tee will be authorized to investigate all
charges which may be presented to 1t.
This is intended to place the democrats
in the attitude of prosecutors, and force
them to substantiate their charges. SEN
ators Allison and Hale hold that, after
voting against an investigation on Tues
dav. the republicans can do no good by
ordering one now, especially as they will
Law themselves under suspicion of having
averted the inquiry until too late to make
known its results before the elections.

SENATE.

The Senate today agreed TO joint res
olution, accepting the invitation to Con-
gress to attend the formal opening of the
St Louis Exposition April Both and
directing the President pro tenn. OF the
Senate and the Speaker Of the House to
appointa joint committee of ten Senators

When the resolution of Mr.. Morgan,
directing the Attorney General to report
what negotiations were in progress be-
tween the government and the New
Panama Canal Company, was laid before
the Senate,
Mr. Hopkins moved to refer it to the
committee on inter-oceanic canals.
Mr.. Morgan objected. He said similar
resolution was being smothered in COM
mittee. He declared that the reason
why the canal government bill was be-
ing pushed with such haste was to pre-
vent the Senate from learning at this
time why the payment of ten million
dollars to Panama was being delayed.
The resolution was referred.
At the conclusion of the routine busi-
ness the Panama civil government bill
was taken up.
HOUSE.
In the House, the Chaplain referred
to the tragedy of the Missouri.
The bill authorizing bond issues for
internal improvements and to guarantee
earnings on capital invested in railroads
building in the Philippines was again
taken up.
Mr.. Warnock said that the democratic
opposition to the measure was an echo
of the democratic cry Of imperialism.
Mr.. Williams (dem. Ills. said that the
bill yoked the people of the Philippines
and forced the Filipinos to pay subsidies
to all the railroads that will be built
there.
There was a heated colloquy between
Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin,
who closed the debate for the republic
cans, and Mr.. Williams, of Illinois Mr.
Cooper declined to yield to Mr.. Williams
for a question, and the latter became
so persistent that it aroused the ire Of
Speaker Cannon, who called Mr. Will
Jams to order and declared that he would
''protect the gentleman from Wisconsin
against the gentleman from Illinois"
The amendments to the bill were then
agreed to, and on the viva voce vote on
the adoption of the bill, Speaker Can:
non, who had regained his good humor.
convulsed the members with laughter hv
declaring, "The ayes seem to have it,
and the noes seem to make the most

The roll call resulted 199 to 1913 and
the bill was passed.
Mr.. Dalzell offered a resolution pro-
viding for the immediate consideration
of the bill to allow Col. Symons, engi-
neer corps, U. S. A., leave of absence
without pay, so that he can serve on the
New York State canal board and super
intend the improvement of the work on
the Erie canal.
Mr.. Williams said that the democrats
of the committee on rules had not OPP
posed the rule. He said he was glad to
allow any officer to be furloughed at any
time without pay.
