Debate in Senate on :.
 Colombian Treaty
Republican Opponents to Rat ification of the Treaty Are to be Heard Today.

Washington April 14.-Payment to Colombia of $25,000, 900 ,as provided in the Colombian treaty was advocated in the senate today as measure of jus tice and moral obligation, and attacked as without justihca tion. -s z.
 Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, opening the fight for ratification from the democratic side, declared justice demanded that Colombia be compensated for the loss of Panama through course of events in which the participation by the United States, he asserted, could not be defend ed either in the sight of God or man. y
 Ratification of the pact was urged by Senator Knox, republican, Pennsylvania, on the other hand, because the United States was morally bound to. compenss te Colombia, not for what she lost but for what we gained"
 Taking issue with Senator Pomerene the Pennsylvania senator asserted that the course of the United States in the events attending the revolt of Panama squared to our rights and duties and to the governing rules and principle of inter- national law"
 Declaring ratification of the pact would put the brand of shame" on Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, in concluding the debate fer the day, declared the moving force" behind Panama's revolt from Colombia, was not Theodore Roosevelt, John Hay or. the United States government, but. the pee. pie of Panama" who he said, despite g Colombian dictatorship were striving tc exercise the independence they declared i1 1861. -,.- Discussion of the pact on the republi. can side of the senate, Senator Borah said. had shown "an almost complete difference of opinion" as to the reason! for ratification. st
 Tt is difficult for me to understand how we can purchase the friendship ot any nation" Senator Borah continued ir referring to the argument advanced tha' ratification of the treaty would bring about cor.lial relations between tho United States and Colombia. Such ac. tion would be an insult to any self-re. specting nation" .-
 Under President Roosevelt. MT. Boraf denied defendCg the course pursued bJ the United States government under President Roosevelt. MT. Borah denied that the United States in any way aided | in bringing about the separation of Pan anna from Colombia.

The delegates, however. decided 10 take no decisive action unti lthey had consulted the membership of their respective bod les. It was understood that another con- ference would be called together within few days.
 -Spokesmen for the union workers told the gathering that. the proposed % per cent. cut in wages was regarded by building trades employees as too drastic. The master builders gave their reasons for the proposed wage reduction and de- clared that lower wages would result fn plenty of work for the union rnen, while the present rates would retard building activity and cause unemployment.

by continental interests and this
demand was competing with Man

seems the market there has been
flooded with the most sensationally
bad crop reports of the season
overnight from here and New Or
