WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—When the Bacon resolution on the Panama Canal question was taken up in the Senate to-day, Senator Hoar said: “It seems that the dream of cen- turies {s about to be realized. For more than four centuries the commerce of the world had been chafing against the rock constituting the Isthmus of Darien, and all this time there had been 2 general desire to penetrate th barrier." For himself he would have been glad if there could haye been a more carefy Inspection of the Panama route, but in the absence of that he was willing tc submit to the Judgment of others—wit sedily to join in the enthtsiasm with Which the people of thé United States ure about to enter upon the great en- terprize, Mr, Hoar then turned his attention to the Canal treatey, announcing his Intention to give his vote in favor of it. He sald he thought that he made his position plain in his previous speech on this subject and that he would not speak ngain but for the fact that his previous remarks had been misunder- stood and criticised. He then entered upon an explanation of the circumstances connected with his former speooh, saying it had been eon- nected with e@ resolution asking for information such as was usually freely given, He had been surprised at the efforts to d y and hinder that resolution, but that he had had no feeling against the President was, he said, abundantly shown by other expressions on his part favorable to Mr, Roosevelt, some of which he quoted. He considered that he was doing the President a real favor in asking for the Information, because of the criti- cisms of the unfrtendiy press, and he believed that all the foul and infamous charges would be fully met by supply- ing all the Information to be had on tho: subject.
