Washington. Jan. 1.-THE senate
listened to speeches by Senator New
lands and Depew on the Panama canal
question and to a speech by Senator
Latimer on the adoption of the plan
for improvement of the public wagon
ways of the country. Senator New
lands declared the course of the
president in Panama was an act OF
war and in contraventiOn alike of the
treaty of 1864, of international law
and of the constitution of the United
States. Senator Depew praised the
presidents policy as patriotic and
justified by law. He reviewed the
history of Panama and detailing the
facts connected with the negotiation
of the Hay-Herran treaty, contenjed
that Colombia had overreached her
self in her rejection of that agree.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The postoffice
inquiry resolution and the Panama
canal question divided the attention
OF the senate Senator Hale made a
plea for reference of all the postal
investigation resolutions to the com,
mittee on postCffices and Senator
German gave his assurance that he
would be satisfied with that disposal
OF the question. He denied any in
tention to appear as the prosecutor
OF the republican party, of which
Senator Hale expressed the opinion
that the departmental inquiry had
been more thorough than would be a
congressional investigation. The
question went over with the under
standing that after a few more
speeches the resolution would be
allowed to go to the committee. The
discussion of the canal question was
confined to a continuation of Senator
Teller's argument that the course of
the United States in the recent revolt
OF Panama was contrary to inter-
national law and sound morals. Presi-
dent Roosevelt transmitted to the
senate the additional correspondence
on the relations of the United States
with Colombia and Panama, covering
the period of December %, 1908, to
January 6.
The house devoted its brief session
to District of Columbia business.
While in committee of the whole on
enc bill the postOffice scandal was
discussed by Mr.. Bartlett of Georgia,
introducing a letter from NJ. w.
Louis. who felt aggrieved at certain
, statements in the BristOw report
Mr. Cowherd of Missouri pointed out
that Mr. Louis was irregularly ap-
pointed just in time to let a contract
that cost the government $4,000
more than was necessary.
