W1NT COLOMBIAN NOTES.
Democratic Senators Think SO, ,0O0,-
ODO Claim Has Been ReTlUed.

Washington Nav 5-The Senate to-day adopted
3 resolution which may affect in some manner the
object Of Secretary Taft's visit TO Panama. The
resolution IS one offered by Senator Bacon, calling
correspondence since January is. 1884. between
the United States and Colombia IN relation to the
secession OF Panama Prior to that time CoioInola
felt aggrieved al what interpreted TO De inter
ference by the United States in her troubles with
the state of Panama and demanded 100000 from
the United State. Colombia also asked for arbi-
tratiOu OF this claim. which was refused oy the
United States on the ground that this country mad
been charged with forlenring revolution III Panama
and abetting Ale secession of the isthmian portion
Of Colombian territory
The resolution calling for recent correspondence
: based upon the belief the part OF certain
Democratic Senators that Colombia has again
asked for arbitration OF the claim and at the same
time has made charges against the United States
involving the conduct Of this government in con-
nection with the secession of Panama. InfoTma-
ton has been obtained by these democratic Sen
arors leading them to believe that a triangular
treaty has been negotiated among the Cnlteo
States Colombia and Panama by which the Coionl-
hian claim IS 10 be scaled down aud assumed oy
Panama The amount named in the treaty II Is
said Is sS00G00 According 10 the advices OF the
hackers Of the Bacon resolution. Colombia is mold
ing out for s. 100000 and Panama is complaining
from the s00pl0o0 which the United States paid 10
Panama for the canal zone
The chief mission Of Secretary Taft TO Panama,
these Senators believe. is to procure an agreement
by which this treaty might be ratified without
action by the Senate. Senator Bacon beile'eS
that II the facts are as stated the United states
Is IN honor bound grant the arbitration demand

A Warning

'Taft's sympathies are altogether
with the great and powerful, and, in
his estimation, the rights, of property
are paramount to the rights of man.
He is natural born autocrat, and, with
a hungry mob of, place hunters back of
him, would set about creating strong
centralized government which would
be the stepping stone to the abrogation
of the most cherished rights of the
American people. In our estimation,
his government of the Philippine
Islands proves this beyond all dispute,
since it was one continuous assault
upon the rights of the people through
arrogant control of the judiciary, abol.
ishing trial by jury, appealing from
verdicts of mot guilty" increasing
punishment on appeal, denying Ameri-
can citizens the right to keep arms, and
the enactment of severe libel and sedi-
ton laws. Let his record of despotism
in these islands be a warning to the
American people to trust Taft in no
POSITION where he can demolish the
structure of their government.-Inte
