Brunswick, Ca, Jan. 31.-Bruns-
wick's handsome new federal building
was opened to the public to-day, and
for the first time mail was received and

STILL ON PANAMA
SENATORS SPEAK
CLAY is FOR THE TREATY.
HE AND OTHER SENATOR'S ARE TO
SUPPORT IT.

Many of the Democratic Senator'S
Want to Postpone Further Dis
cussiOn of the Question Until They
Receive the Answer of the Presi-
dent TIC the Senate's Resolution
of Inquiry-HOuse Will Have APP
preparations to Consider.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The Senate
this week will continue to discuss the
Panama question. Speeches will be
made Monday or Tuesday by Senator
Fairbanks (Republican) and Senators
Clark (Arkansas) and Clay of Georgia,
all in support of the treaty.
There is disposition on the part Of
many Democratic senators to postpone
further discussion of the question un-
til responses to the resolutions of in
quiry shall be received from the exec
utive. The Democrats, however, have
given assurance to the Republican
leaders that they will not seek delay
merely for the purpose of postponing
a vote on the treaty, which they will
permit as soon as legitimate debate
shall be exhausted. -
The present plan is to continue the
discussion in open session, but if it
becomes apparent that more can be
accomplished by closing the doors, ex-
ecutiNe sessions will be ordered. 1t is
now certain that the solid vote of the
Republican side of the chamber in IA
vor of the treaty will be augmented
by many Democratic votes. The sug-
gestion was made in the Democratic
caucus Saturday that the entire DEM
ocratic vote should be pledged in case
assurance is given of concessions to
Colombia, but it was not acted on.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
Eli will be reported during the week
and Will receive attention if the Pana-
ma question shall be side-tracked to
meet the request of the Democrats for
delay to digest the new information
they hope to receive on the revolt The
canal question will be kept to the front
as much as possible, even to the ex-

The situation is simple.

Torres had $50 half-grown boys.
Arrange had at that moment about 300
men, yet they talked of thousands and
of marching across forty-seven miles
of rniasmatio swamp and through for
ty-seven miles of jungle to fight. 1t
was a bluff and SO is the war talk one
hears these days. The facts of the
matter are that Colombia, driven to
desperation by the revolution on the
isthmus, is playing strong hand at
home. She is making show of arms
at establishing her sovereignty over
the isthmus not with any idea Of ac-
tually attempting such feat, but with
the sole purpose of satisfying home sem
timent and of preventing a revolution
there which would sweep from power
the present weak, inefficient and cor
rupt government.
With the independence of Panama to
be justified upon humanitarian and
commercial grounds: with the United
States given canal rights of 1.-The most
liberal character. and with no danger
of q clash with Colombia impending,
the isthmian situation is as simple as
is the alphabet. Panama will take
care of herself under the protection we
are bound to furnish her. developing IN
time a patriotism now unknown ard
leading to stability of government. AS
for ourselves. we have only to ratify
the canal treaty in order to obtain full
license to come here in force, drive pes
tiIential disease from the isthmus and
dig the ditch upon which the French
souandered hundreds of millions of dol
lars.

Besides these appointments several
other unimportant ones were made.

lies before us, in easy reach One
fifth of the necessary work to construct

the other our-fifths waits only upon
the ratification of the treaty, and In
The doing of that fourth-fifths we shall
not, as have explained, encounter any

us in the slightest. If the demand OF
the commercial world for this inter-
oceanic canal is genuine, and of that
there is no doubt; If military considera-
lions make IL desirable for us to con-
troll that canal and upon that there
is only one opinion; if Colombia, by
sinister intent, did delay the construc-
ton of the canal, and rejection OF the
Hay-Herran treaty proves that she

mankind and make swamps and VIII

Panama VIII Progress.

It is that practical side of the situ-
alton which see, although have in
vestigated and written of the others.
The revolution of Nov. 8 was
righteous one, no matter what it's d.
rect cause. Panama had suffered
enough at the hands of Colombia, and
was still suffering, to have caused her
to revolt years before. That she would
have set up her independence long ago
had she had proper leadership, and
had not Colombia prevented by unre-
mittent vigilance and overpowerlng
force of arms, cannot be disputed. She
had ample incentive, but lacked the
means and adequate direction. The
act of Nov. had the effect, therefore,
of freeing from very odious tyran-
nv a people who had little or nothing
in commin with those who had Tor
so long held the reins of government.
There is nothing in geographical ioca-
ton. commercial interests, national
temperament or disposition that can
possibly be construed as forming a
bond of unity to join Colombia ana
Panama. and Colombia's dominion has
endured for many years solely because
of the power of the mighty over the
weak.
Now that she is free. Panama has
an opportunity long withheld from
her. In aiding her to win her free
dom-and our assistance was rendered
her without its sincerity being tainted
nv collusion-we have helped people
deserving of assistance. Upon human
itarian grounds alone, If for no other
reason, we should have interfered
when Panama decided to throw off
Colombia's yoke, for it Is to be remem-
hered that in Cuba's case we estab-

Conditions here were even worse prior
to Nov. 3 than they were in Cuba; the
onlv difference was that the isthmian
Sit,,o tion had not commanded the
worlds attention as had the other one.

because, no matter what else Spain
did in her oppression of Cuba she
gave the Cubans a chance to cultl-
s,ate their soil. to raise crops, to build
roads, to make communication posi-

Colombia Her own ExecutiOner.
Panama knows, as does the world at
large, just what motives Influenced CO.
lombia to reject the Hay-Herran
treaty. Panama has had more ex-
perience than has all the rest of the
world with Colombian greed and un-
scrupulousness. This little republic
while a state in the Colombian fed
Grafton was Systematically mulcted ;
its citizens were politely pilfered of
their substance, and for many long
years the whole state paid tribute to
that rapacity which aff1icts the gov
eminent at Bogota. With this expert
ence Panama knows that when Co.
lombia rejected the treaty, upon
which every hope of isthmian pros
perity was pinned, she did so in the
belief that she could drive a better
bargain for herself. No thought of
Panama's interests entered into the
considerations at Bogota, for had S40,-
100000 instead of $10,000,0O0 been the
price we agreed to pay Colombia for
a transfer of the concession, Panama
would never have seen a cent of that
sum. And with all of Panama's flu
ture hopes staked on the transfer of
that concession to the United States
she, more than any other people or
government, has felt the evil effects
of Colombia's obstructive tactics. That
is the reason this republic to a man
approves American interference: that
is the reason the treaty we have ne
gotiated with Panama was so quickly
accepted by the junta.
Looking at the situation from our
own standpoint, in full realization of
the causes Panama had to revolt
against Colombia, we would have been
foolish. indeed, had we not acted as
we did. Speedy recognition of the re-
public, thereby aiding it to gain it's
feet, has given the United States a
more perfect control over the isthmus
than 1t could have secured by the pay
ment of $50,0OO,0 900 to Colombia.

MANY CONTRADICTIONS IN
THE STORY OF PANAMA
The Revolution Righteous One No Matter
What Its Cause
BY MERRILL A. LEAGUE.
Special Correspondent of the Morning News.

Colon, r. p; Dec 80 delayed in
TRANSMISSION. In this corresponds nee
l have endeavored faithfully to pre-
sent the several phases of the isthmian
and canal situations as they have
revealed themselves to me. In what
l have written there has been much
that was not entirely creditable to
those responsible for the existence of
this new republic; much that wins for
them admiration, and not little that
touches deeply the morality and in
tegrity OF our own government. Re-
gard for the truth compelled this. SEEM
ingly contradictory survey of the stu
alton, and the story, now told in full,
leads one inevitably back to the start
ing place--the interoceanic canal.
What has heretofore been said of the
sordid nature of those inspirations that
gestated this republic holds good to-
day. Delegates to constitutional con-
vention have been chosen, it is true,
and soon constitutional government
will be established. But back of that
will stand, just as long as this re-
public stands, the determination to
have a ship canal built here rather
than any ennobling spectacle of glow
ing and irresistible patriotism. Those
who seek practical results may, how
ever, be very content to overlook these
latter. The anomalies, incongruities
and mercenary strains in the story of
this republics launching and career to
date may feed the fiamA of academic
discussion, but the practical will see
only in this situation an end and an
answer to the canal problem which has
interested us for many years. and
which was brought straight home TO us
when the Oregon was compelled to
round the Horn" to join the squadron
operating against Admiral Cervera's
command in West Indian waters, near
ly six years ago.

principles of international comfy In
aiding the rebellion once it had been set
on foot is matter outside of this dis
cussion. On the isthmus we only know
that our own government did not have
a hand in bringing the revolution
about, and that it acted only when the
Colombian commander at this port
threatened to slaughter Americans. 1t
is only proper to say too, that il the
question of the righteousness of Amer
lean interference should be put to a
vote on the isthmus it would be sus-
tanned by the unanimous voice of the
people.
