|. fair. his meddling in the cheap poli- tics of New York state and his hand 1 ling of the Panama Taft t-Shonts-B Bishop affair The latted has been taken by the Senate as a direct insult
 Today the Panama canal commis- sioners are still "holdovers." for the Senate has refused natly to confirm the nomination of Bishop. Two Treaties Doomed. The Santo Domingo treaty will not go through. The proposed treaty with Germany, which Secretary Root IS now trying to efect, win not go through as the president proposes. This is a new bone of contention. and it will be bitterly fought over.
 On the second count the five insur- gent camps may be stated thus:
 The Santo Domingo treaty insur- gents.
 The beet sugar and anti-Philippine tarin insurgents.
 The railway rate insurgents.
 The statehood insurgents.
 The isthmian canal insurgents.
 If these separated groups should un- ite to make common cause against the executive, it is said they could produce a SFeal deal or lflctlOn.
 Appointments Resubmitted
 The Senate in executive session this afternoon resubmitted to the committee the nominations of the isthmian canal commissioners which had been confirmed December Is but which confirmation was withdrawn by order of the Senate late yesterday af ternoon. The committee will not act on the nominations until after Janu- ary 4.

His papers were challenged upon the ground that the governor had written in them that he was to hold office until his success sor qualified.

 | Free trade with the Philippines. ?. A Democratic railway rate bill. .. Separate statehood bills for the several territories, and to fight the admission of any Siamese states.
 The sum total of the sessions work is the passage of the emergency ap- propriation bill for the Panama canal. In the House everything is in chaos save the insurgent force that has been gathered about the honeyed standard of the sugar interests. The sugar lob by is mighty and it will prevail. What the House needs is a man of power as leader on the Democratic side. Such man could gather the many insurgent camps that are Div ouacking on the Republican side. Such a man could by good generalship do the country a service, for the Re publican power is so great in numbers that splits are inevitable. Looks to the Future. Representative LOngworth, who has his eye on the diplomatic, service is Uns instrument of introduction Of a bill empowering the secretary of state to purchase homes for the American ambassadors abroad
 The bill would appropriate 5000 .UJ0 for this purpose. The object is two fold said Mir LOngworth.
