CANNOT DEFEAT
THE CANAL TREATY
DEMOCRATS TURN TO IT.
SOME BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION
OF THEIR STATES.

Conference of the Democratic Sem
ntors Held to Determine Upon
Their Attitude Toward the Treaty.
1t Was Made Clear That They
Cannot Prevent Its Ratification.
Some Thought the Democrats
Might BE GOaded to Opposition.
Washington, Jan. IA conference
of the Democratic senators to discuss
the Panama situation was held to-day
at the committee room, of Senator Cor
man.
More than two hours were consumed
in consideration of the various plans
suggested of getting full information
concerning the alleged participation by
United States officials in the revolu-
ton on the isthmus. Nearly every
senator spoke, and it was the unani-
nous opinion that the Republican SEN
ators are in possession of facts which
have been withheld from the Demo-
Gratis.
Despite this feeling it was agreed
that there is no way the canal treaty
can be defeated in the Senate. 1t
was admitted that number of Demo-
Gratis nust vote for ratification of
the convention, as their geographical
position and the consequent CONNER
cial conditions demand it,
The action of the Republican mem
bers of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, in adopting the Lodge
resolution to report the treaty with
out delay, was commented on and sew
eral Democrats, notably Senator'S Nor
gan, Daniel, Bailey and Pettus, pre-
dicted that if goaded by Republican
precipitancy, the Democrats might yet
become a unit in voting for rejection
of the convention. Other senator's
agreed that this was impossible, and
after the meeting it was admitted that
it is palmer than ever that the treaty
will be ratified.
Just before the close of the confer
ence a motion was adopted authoriz-
ing Mr.. German to appoint a commit
tee of three, in addition to Mr.. Cor
man, of which he Is to be chairman,
to draft a composite resolution of in
quiry, which will have the unanimous
support of the Democrats. This COM
mittee was instructed to report to-
morrow. The resolutions introduced
in the Senate by Messrs. Morgan,
German, Carmack and others, calling
for information concerning the Pan
anna resolution and the formation of
the republic of Panama, will be used
in drafting the resolution. which, it
is expected, will be adopted at to-mor-
rows conference
The committee as announced ny Mr.
German is composed of Senators Car

AGENTS OF RUSSIA
OPERATE IN GERMANY.
Socialists Protest Against the Gov
ernment's Policy in This.


ernment's Policy in This.
Berlin, Jan. 19.-The intimate rela-
tions between Germany and Russia
were brought out in the Reichstag to-
day during a discussion over the priv
ileges given to Russian secret agents
on this side of the frontier The social
lists gave notice some time ago that at
the ke-opening of Parliament they
would question the government on the
subject.
Herr Ernst Haase was put forward
by the party to-day to make the at
tack. He asserted that Russia main
tanned chief of spies in Berlin nam
ed Tardik who received $4,000 yearly.
and enjoyed the title of His Excellen-
cy. Herr Haase then mentioned by
name Tardik's principal assistants,
whose relations with the German gov
ernment were such as to permit them.
Herr Haase affirmed, to use the Ger
man police agencies and other instru-
ments of the government as though
they were Russian, occasionally getting
at the postal officials and opening mail
addressed to Russians.
Baron Won Ricthofen, the Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, answering Herr
Haase, declared the German govern
ment was aware that the Russian en-
bassy employed an official to watch
over Russian anarchists in Germany.
but the government was not aware
that German subjects were likewise
under observation.
Continuing, the secretary said Herr
Haase had reproached the government
With lending assistance to Russian
agents. This he admitted The gov
ernment had no reason to protect the
revolutionary subjects of a neghbor-
ing friendly state. The common inter
cts of civilization demanded watching
over anarchists.
Herr Bebel, Socialist, characterized
the delivery of Russians, whose only
crime was discomfort with the reigning
political conditions, to the Russian po-
lice, to be transported to Siberia or
indefinitely imprisoned, as barbarism
Several other deputies expressed dis
satisfaction with Baron Won Ritchofens
answer.

Throng Attending.


ThrOng Attending.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 19.-The Gar
made his first public appearance this
season at to-day's solemn ceremony of
blessing the waters. In the orthodox
church this rite is commemorative of
the baptism of the Savior. 1t took
place in an open chapel, built on a
quay extending far from the winter
palace. 1t was preceded by a religious
service within the palace, which was
attended by the imperial family, with
the exception of the CZarina. whose
condition was such as to prevent her
being present, and the court officials,
nobility and representatives of the for
eign powers.
The Car carried himself easily. He
wore simple uniform, the cross of
ST. Andrew glittering on his breast.
This was his only decoration. The
Car, who held his helmet in his hand,
looked strong and well.
When the Car had taken up his
position in the chapel and the ice be-
low had been broken, the metropolitan
blessed the shadowy waters, and the
cross was dipped thrice therein. When
the rite was finished thousands of
people swarmed across the ice and
dipped up water with which to sanctt-
fy their homes.
The diplomats. exchanging views at
the palace, unanimously agreed that
the Russo-Japanese situation had
much improved.

of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com

for a dividend at the annual meeting

n,pIomntic Agent of Viceroy Alex
te6 Criticixes the United States for
,r,.aIr Alleged UnfriendIy Act in
Making a Treaty With China
without Russin's COnsent-The
viceroy Is Hopeful of Maintaining
Peace.
london. Jan. 2O.-The Port Arthur
correspondent Of the Daily Mail ca
bles that he has had an interview
with Admiral Alexieff, the Russian
,.iceroy in the Far East, who spoke
bonefully of the possibility of ar
ranging a modus vivendi with Japan.
The viceroy then referred the cor
respondent to his diplomatic agent, M
P,ancon, who emphasized the impos-
s,bilitv of Russia's evacuation of Man
churia, and said:
"Orders were given six months ago
10 evacuate New Chwang and Man
churla provided the Chinese would
agree to simple terms, but owing to
the intrigues of the Japanese minister
with the Wal WI Pu (Chinese foreign
board). these orders were counter
manded."
NJ Plancon declared that the action
of the United States in making
commercial treaty with China without
Russia's consent, under the existing
circumstances, was unfriendly and un-
diplomatic.
Russia, he said, would not open nor
allow consuls at Mukden and Antung
under the present regime. If Japan
wanted Corea, Russia, M. Plancon
said, would not interfere, provided
other Powers allowed it, and, he added;
Russia did not ask Japan's consent
to occupy Manchuria, nor was it
necessary for Japan to ask Russia's
permission to establish protectorate
in Corea."
The correspondent adds that the ac-
ton of the United States government
has quite upset Viceroy Alexieff's cal
Culations.
