explanation of his former speech on the
isthnian canal situation. which, he said,
had been misunderstood and misrepre-
scented. He contended that his intention
on that occasion had been to secure full
information concerning the Panama re-
volt and not to cast reflections on the
President On the contrary, he had the
highest regard for the chief executive and
intended to vote for the treaty. There
was sharp debate between Mr.. Hoar
and Mr.. Foraker, Mr.. Hoar resenting
criticisms of his first speech by the Ohio
Senator. Mr.. Carmack censured Minis
ter Bunan-V arilla. He declared the
Panama Canal Company had no title to
the right of way. Mr.. Cullom support
ed the treaty. He concluded with
tribute to President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Hay. Mr.. Culberson called up
and withdrew his resolution directing the
committee on Judiciary to investigate the
constitutional right of Panama to secede
and form n government. When the
