SENATE WARNS ALL NATIONS.
Lodge Resolution Passed In secret
Session BY Members.


Washington.-The United States
Senate issued warning to the nations
OF the world against encroachment
upon the continents of North and
South America. The United States
will not see without grave concern, !"
said the Senate, any suitable naval or
military site pass into control of a for
eign corporation, when such posses
sion might threaten the communities
ton or the safety Of the United
States"
So vital were the issues discussed
: in the Lodge resolution, which set
forth the policy of the United States
as to points situated like Magdalena
Bay, in. Lower California, that the
doors OF the Senate were closed for
three hours swhile the resolution was
debated In secret session.
1t finally passed with only four votes
against it. Notwithstanding the COM
parative unanimity OF the Senate upon
the note of warning, it is understood
the measure did not have the official
Endorsement of the administration.
