Senate Still Divided.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 4,--Presi-
dent Taft's declaration that he In
tends the Panama canal controversy
shall be submitted to arbitration "as
saoil. rs W. get down to the point at
issue" again brought out the sharp
division that exists in the Senate
over the obligation OF the United
States regarding its treaty.
Senator Bacon, the leading Demo.
cratic member Of the foreign rela'
lions committees; Senator Hitchcock
and other prominent members of the
Senate expressed their conviction
that the United States was bound by
its treaty with Great Britain, to sub
nit to arbitration.
Senator Root of New York, who
is not now in Washington holds the
sane view Senator Sutherland, Re-
publican, also q member Of the com
mittee, has previously expressed the
belief that the subject is domestic
one and not such that the United
States is compelled to arbitrate.
Bacon in a statement, based on
the presidents announcement, sug'
gested that the United States that
liz submitted to arbitration could
properly ask for special tribuna
so constituted as to assure an i'm.
partial judgment
II would rather repeal the canal
law than arbitrate." declared Sena.
tor Stone, Democrat, of the Foreign
Relations Committee. "From my
point of view, the quest. on of toll
on canal tracic is merely domestic
question and as ] am not in favor OF
submitting such questions to arbi-
tration would repeal and re-enaet
