 for Canal Treaty.
ASSAlLS MIR. CLEVELAND

Washington, Feb. 5.-The political de- bate in the Senate on the proposed loan or s4.60o,OO0 to the St. Louis Exposition. which has been in progress on a point of order for the past three days. came to a close today through vote which left the provision in the urgent deficiency ap- propriation bill, which was passed.
 Mir. Patterson (Col.) made a speech, in which, while he charged the panic of 1893 to the anti-silver agitation in this and other countries, announced that he was not in favor of another Democratic pro- nouncement for silver.
 After the vote on the deficiency bill, speeches in support of the Panama canal treaty were made by Mir. Mallory (Fla.) and Mr. Hepburn Qdaho.)
 MT. Patterson, in the Senate today, de- clared the successful fight on silver to have been the forerunher of the Coxey army and other phenomena that followed the panic of 1893.
 ''Cleveland Proved False"
 Mir. Aldrich said that he judged MT. Patterson would not look with great fa- vor upon another term of Mir. Cleveland, and MT. Patterson replied that he 'cer- tainly would not, in view of the fact that Mir. Cleveland had been false both to his party and his country" He added that Mir. Aldrich and his party associates should be under lasting obligations to MT. Cleveland, but that the Democrats could not be expected to share that feeling.
 Speaking of the recent era. Mir. Patter- son declared that it had brought prosper ity to the rich, but not to the poor, re- sulting in the creation not of millionaires, but of billioPaires at the expense of oth- CTS. He spoke in strong terms of admira- tion of President Roosevelt's action in connection with the anthracite coal strike and in his suits against the railroad mer- gers. but declared that in the prosecution of trusts the prediction had been far short of promises. inasmuch as only two or three actions had been begun.
 Suicide for Schwab
 He compared the ofFenaes Of Whitaker Wright to tue esndiice 6E. !. P. Moasa1 and Mir scifwah. end as to the details ol suicide, adding fhat 'sThere would noi be as many tears shed if some of the great financial lights who find their habt- tation in the United States would seek the same ending and from the same cause"
 Recurring to the silver issue Mir Patter- son said that even the people of Colorado realized that the issue of 16 to l, had been decided against them, but 1t did not, he said, follow that they would throw them selves into the arms of the trusts.
 He referred to Mir. Bryan, saying:
 ''I am glad that there Is one man m the party with power and influence enough to make himself felt who enters his protest against surrendering the par ty to those who go from one end of the political theatre to the other in what ever interests may seem to require.
 MT. Patterson reasserted his conviction that the nomination of MT. Bryan by the Chicago Convention of 1896 had insured a far larger vote than any other candidate on another platform would have secured He then announced his intention not tc press for a further recognition of free coinage by the Democratic party, saying that "the party Is worse than insane which continues to advocate policy which the country has declared against.
 Such a course would destroy the useful ness of any party.
 "Avoid Suspicion"
 MT Patterson spoke in terms of regret at the growth of Socialism and attributed if to the policies of the Republican party. Again declaring that the wealthy were getting the benefit of the prosperous times. Mir. Patterson expressed the nope that at it's next convention the Demo cratic marty would nominate candidate not tainted with suspicion with any alll- ance with persons of this character.
 MT. Patterson having concluded, the question of sustaining MT. Bailey's point of order was placed before the Senate. There was no roll call, but there was an Overwhelming response of Noes" and the chair announced the point as lost.
 The urgent deficiency bill was then passed. -
 MT. Mitchell, from the Committee on Postoffices made a favorable report on the resolution ordering the Postmaster General to send to the Senate the reports made on the irregularities in the Post office Department for consideration. The resolution was adopted without debate. It calls for reports on the investigation by Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, together with the reports of Holmes Conrad and Charles J. Bonaparte, special counsel on charges made by s. w.. Tulloch, formerly cashier of the Washing ton city postoffice.
 Transportation. for Teachers. A bill was passed providing for the transportation of 500 teachers from Porto Rico to and from the United States next summer for purposes of study.
 Mir. Spooner withdrew his motion to re- consider the vote from which the bill for the naturalization of Porto Ricans and residents of other insular possessions of the United States was passed and the favorable action of the Senate on it was allowed to stand
 Mir. Fairbanks made an appeal to the Senate in favor of better buildings for the departments of State, Justice and Commerce and Labor. The bill making an appropriation for these departments was called up but on objection went over
 The Senate then returned to the con. sideration of the canal question. taking uT the Bacon resolution providing for the friendly adjustment of the differences be tween the United States and Colombia growing out of the secession of Panama
 MT. Mallory reviewed the evidence leading up to the negotiation of the treaty. declaring that Colombia had mol acted in good faith in connection with the Hay-Merran treaty. He accepted as fina and conclusive the Presidents denial oi the charges of complicity in the secession of Panama, and took issue with those who criticized the President for not turn. ing to Nicaragua after the failure of the negotiations with Colombia. He failed he said to find justification for the plea that there had been a violation of inter. national law in recognizing the independ- ence of Panama, although he considered
