PANAMA BILL REPORTED TO-DAY
but Senate May Not Consider II UntiI the
Latter Part OF tho Week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations will tomorrow
report the Panama bill that passed the
House last week. 1t will carry practically
the same appropriation as agreed upon by
the House, but will be amended in other
particulars. The first section Of the bill,
which relates to the issue of bonds, was
stricken out by the committee on the ground
that the subject matter properly belonged
to the Finance Committee. The committee
changed the wording of the second section,
which carries the appropriation, to, conform
to the language used in the bill last year
by the Senate Committee on lnteroceanic
Canals.
While the hill will be reported tomorrow
It will not come up for consideration before
Thursday, and may not get through the
Senate this week, as II Is certain to precipl-
tate lot of debate An effort is being made
to induce those Senators who want to talk
on the Panama situation to withhold their
remarks until later day in the session.
The appropriation carried by the bill
will be sufficient according to Secretary
Taft, who was before the committee to-day,
to meet the requirements up to April !,
and another deficiency appropriation will
be necessary. before Congress adjouns, to
cover the time between April 1 and July /.
Secretary Taft came before the Appro-
priations Committee at 1890 this morning,
and did not conclude his hearing. which
was behind closed doors, until about P. NJ,
He was accompanied by Theodore P. Shonts
president Of the Panama Canal Commits
sion; d. W. Ross, general purchasing agent;
H. J. Gallagher, departmentary general
purchasing agent, and j. II. Bishop, sec
retary to the commission. Two Of these
we're the $40 900 a year men whose salaries

questions, and the latter was summoned to
crafty him.

SETBACK FOR DOMINGO TREATY.
Attempt to RecOmmit Develops Decided
Opposition I'm the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-In a short e1ecu-
tive session Of the Senate, which began
shortly after noon to-day Mr.. Lodge Rep,,
Mass) called up the pending Santo Do
mingo treaty and asked unanimous consent
to have it recommitted to the Foreign
Relations Committee that 1t might be
amended. Objection was raised by Mr..
Morgan Oem., Ala.) and other Senators,
and some discussion followed which went
to the merits Of the treaty itself.
Mr.. Lodge finally closed the discussion
by withdrawing his request to have the
treaty recommitted. The brief debate
disclosed the fact that many Sena tors want
to speak on the treaty and that there will
be much debate before it Is finally acted
upon.
Mr.. Lodge took up the treaty at the re :
quest Of Mr.. Cullom Rep., Ill.), chairman
Of the Foreign Relations Committee, who
sent note saying he was i'll at his home
and not now equal to the task OF entering
actively upon official work.
