senators to call for the correspondence relating to the treaty with Colombia. MT. Williams said he believed that the sen ate may properly call for any corres- pondence relating to the proposed canal, and asked for specific information on this question He put the question in what he called a long and involved form. Re- plying to 1t, MT. Spooner said that it was not only long, but had no more to do with the discussion than the flowers that bloom in the spring"
 Bacon Takes Issue.
 Mir Bacon took issue with the conten- tion of republican senators that the sem ate could not demand information at the hands of the executive department. He quoted literally from expressions made by republican senators, including MT. Spooner during the Cleveland administra- tion to support his contention.
 The Wisconsin senator then maintain- ed that congress is entitled to all papers bearing on nominations.
 MT. Tillman interrupting, said:
 Ut is now as it has always been--if a democrat President gets up tree, the re- publican dogs bark at him; If a republi- can President gets up tree. the demo- cratic dogs bark at him. It Is republi- can President we are after now, but 1t is not unreasonable to expect the repub- lican senators to join us."
 Mir Bacon said that the President either should send information or explain why he did not send 1t.
 Tt matters not whether the reason be good or bad" said the Georgia senator 'rhe President should not be permitted to withhold information purely on his own judgment or voliton for if he is to execute discretion in one case. he can ex- ecute it in all cases"
 MT Bacon admitted that there Is no remedy in case the President refuses to give the information required.
 MT Spooner appealedSfor such a notfi- cation of the pending inquiry as would render 1t courteous
 The senate then agreed unanimously to vote on the question before adjournment tomorrow, and at 5:21 adjourned.

JAPAN is SHREWD.
Would Occupy High Moral Position
Before the World.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Secretary Hay
has received information that Japan has
negotiated a traty with Korea, whereby
she guarantees the independence and in
tegrity of Korea.
This is regarded here as one of the
cleverest of the many startling diplomatic
moves that have been made in connection
with the eastern situation. This places
Japan on a high moral plane for it IS
understood here that this treaty is an
announcement to the world that even il
she prevails in her struggle with Russia
involving military occupation of Korea,
Japan will take no advantage of that
fact. but viii MAINTAIN the independence
Of the Hermit Kingdom.
On the other hand the Russian note
complaining of the violation of Korean
neutrality by Japan is believed here to
be intended to pave the way for future
heavy reclamations, indeed involving the
seizure of Korea and its annexation for
violation of neutrality in the event that
Russia ntriumphs in the present struggle.
eeeeoreeeeeeeeeeeeee ofoau. hat taoin nuuu
Contrasting the two positions. an official
here pointed out that the attitude of
Japan toward Korea was very similar TO
that of the United States to Cuba when
the Republic occupied the island with its
military forces. only to withdraw them
and free Cuba after it had rid her of
Spanish control.
