The Panama canal treaty was immediately laid before the senate. Semator Morgan (Ala.) yielded the floor to Senator Burton (Kan.), republican, an advocate of the omnibus statehood bill. He spoke especlally of the Importance of the passage of that measure, Yndirectly referring to the treaty, His contention was that while the canal treaty might be a meri- torlous measure the statehood bill was equally so and that it, should be voted upon. Senator Burton's speech was drawn out by, some criticisms. of the deglsion of the republican caucus. Senator-Qudy (Pa.) made complaint of the publication and Senator Hoar (Mass.). said the chucus discussions whre not for, the newspapers. - Senator Burton referred 6mly hriefly to the .caucus and then made an argument of an hour and a hal's duratipn in support of the-admiesion of the three proposed states. Mr.. Burton was: generally, congratulated upon. the conclusion of his:remarks. Duhois Criticiees “Tresty. Mr. Dubols (Idaho) followed | with a speech in critfelsm of ‘the *treafy and of what He characterized gs the summary ac- tion of the republican caucus. He com- plained that the committee had tried to force a vote upon tHe measure that'had not been considered-at all and this.¢ould not be. done. He added that the ‘attention which had been given to the treaty had } shown that it was full of defects and these were sufficlent to justify the demand for thorough investigation. When” he con- cluded, Senator Morgan continued his re- marks sgalnst the treaty in its present shape. The most interesting event of the day transpired before the beginning of the routine proceedings, when: Senator Quay rose to a question of persomal privilege. He sent {o the desk and had read an article from a New York paper, of this mornihg, accusing him of violating a pledge, which the paper stated he had made in the republican caucus Wednesday to support the treaty to the exclusion of every other subject. Quay Makes a Denfal. He sald such was not the case, but, on the contrary, he had protested against any othér republicans who Rave heen favoring the statehood bill, were called in and, the matter wad canvaksed at gome length, but without approaching an agreement. The democrats have not been cogsulted, and as they stand solidly againet the plan of com- promise- for the creation af two new states they may fot atcept any other comprom proposition. L Should a compromise proposition be agreed ipon it is stated that it will include the ratification of -the tanal and Cuban treaties.

A resolution was adopted to print, 20,000 copies of the memdrial addfess on the late President McKinley Welfvered in the house A year ago by Secretary Hay, 16,000 for the use of the house and 8,000 for the senate. Several other printing resolutions were adopted, i Mr. Oversteet (Ind.j called up the report of the conferées on the bill for the protec- tion of the presidént, which was adopted without division. The consideration of.fhe currency bill ‘Wwith the sénate amendments was set for Tuesday next, The house then proceeded to the fortifications appropriation pill, Mr. Hemenway (Ind.), In charge of the bill, explained that it carried $7,920,000, being about $20 000 less than current law. Efforts to amend the bill proved futile and it was passed as reported. Mr. Hemen- way then called up the conference report upon the legislative bfll, which was aleo adopted without debate. Mr. Fowler (N. J.) then moved that the houge go into committee of the whele to consider the curremcy. bill. Mr. (Tenn.) moved to proceed o constderation of war claims, apd as this was Friday, Mr. Dalzell, who was in the.chair, ruled that the latter motion fook precedence, Mr. Padgett's motfon was voted down, 87 to 121. Mr. Bartlett (Ga.) attempted tc raise the question of consideration against the Fow- ler bill, declaring that it would be a waste of time to conslder a measure which it was action which would dfsplace the state- hood bill. He called upon other sena- tors to testify to this effect, and several aid so, among them Senator Foraker (0.), who said he was quite sure Sénator Quay had made no such pledge. Senator Lodge (Mass.) stated that he had not heard him make ary remark. Sen- ator Nelson (Minn.) suggested the bellet that' the pledge was at least implied. Senator Hoar thought the procéedimgs of the caucus should not. be revealed, not even in an executive session of the senate. Senator Burton, expressed tbe opinion that there should be a cun‘lmlt;eel on ,pu:l! cation and, having taken oorf purpu:, “weiit on :mi 1 thtenos spesch; . 1 $roah d Urges Open Debate. Then Senator Morgan resumed spoke for an hour after. He gave way to Mr. Quay, but before the latter had well begpn Senator Carpack (Tenn.) moved that Sénator Morgan be al- lowed to discuss the canal question in | open senate. In support of the motion he sald_the question was of general jmportance and the country should be placed in possession of the detals. The motion precipitated a general debate in which the rules of the semate, the ad- visability of the cloture, the necessity of maintaining, in the senate, & forum of free when the house | ity for the last fitty years and was held in | gpeech and many other kindred topics were discussed. Most of the speakers opposed Mr. Car- mack’'s motion on the ground that it was not expedient to air relations with other countries before the world. The speakers differed widely, however, to the expediency of the policy of delay which it was freely charged was now being pursued in connection with the Panama treaty on the one hand and with the hood bill on the other. ‘Some of the sen- ators avowed themselves advocates of the cloture. Others expressed the conviction that the prolonging of the present situation would lead to the speedy adoption of such a rule. Speaking In this vein, Senator Hale (Me.) expressed the conviction that the present situation In which friends of the statehood bill had joined with the opponents of the treaty, was due to a previous understand- ing between them and Senators Quay and Morgan. Mr, Morgan earnestly denled any such combination. At this point Mr. Quay, expressing im. patience with the interruption, asked leave to proceed with his speech. No one objected and the course of the controversy wi shifted without putting Mr. Carmack’s mo- tion to & vote. Mr. Quay's speech consisted of a long re- port on the Isthmian canal question. This reading he asked the clerk at the dask to perform, but objection was made and the matter was submitted to a vote. . The re- sult was adverse to Mr. Quay’'s request, the vote standing 20 to 34. He thep began to read the document himself and continued for two hours or more.

The decision of the steering committee against a night session was reached. The committee decided that the senti- ment of the senate was agalnst another night session until an effort had been made to adjust the somewhat tangled legisla- tive condition in the senate. In order to bring about such an adjust- ment it was suggested that some compro- mise mig! made on the statehood bill. The opponents of the statehood oill nev-r bave believed that the measure could be carried as & rider to the postofice ap- propriation bill, but the friends of the measure have discovered that they have enough votes not only to carry it, but to overrule the chalr should he decide the rider was not in order. Inquiry about the senate today e the opposition apprehensive, though ol com- vinced of this claim, and in the committee today they sald that should such be the case it would mean an extry session of congress and that the appropriation bill with the statehood bill would be defeated.

The doubts began a year ago, when the emperor first listened to Prof. Delitzsch's lecture on the Babylontan origin of the bible and increased later when he person- ally pssisted the Assyriologist in showing ereopticon pictures to sixty members of the court. The picturs were, designed to prove the Babylonish origin of Hebrew ideas. .The, emperor subscribed to send Prof. Delitzsch again to Assyria and discussed with him when he returned his mo§t recent discaveries, all to the dismay of orthodox churchmen.
