THIS IS WHAT SEHATE ASKS The Democratic Caucus Resolution Discussed—The Bacon Resolution Regarding Adjustment of Affairs in Colombia. WASHINGTON.—Mr. Hoar was in ] the senate Friday for the first time since the death of his wife a month ago. The democratic caucus resolution calling on the president to inform the senate whether ail the papers in pos session of the executive bearing upon the Panama revolution had been sent to the senate was immediately taken up. the especial question tinder con sideration being the motion of Mr. Cui lom to add a clause relieving the presi dent of the necessity of supplying the documents if considered Incompatible with the public interest. Mr. Cockrell contended that the sen ate had no right to ask for informa tion concerning a treaty while it was under negotiation, but it had the right to all possible information after the negotiation was completed and the treaty sent to the senate. Mr. McLaurin spoke in support of the resolution and in opposition to the amendment. Referring to the treaty with Panama Mr. McLaurin said that "the very first article of the treaty is a declaration of war against Colombia if Colombia sees proper to assert its authority in the face of the United States,” and he argued that this be ing so the senate should have full in formation ns to whether the United States had done anything in establish ing tlie government of Panama that would justify us in taking the respon sibility of provoking a possible war. The vote was then taken on the Ctil lom amendment inserting tho discre tionary clause, and the motion prevail ed, 39 to 20, a party vote with the exception of Mr. McEnery. who voted with the republicans. The resolution was agreed to without division. The resolution had no sooner been disposed of than *he Bacon resolution looking to the adjustment of our dif ferences with Colombia by arbitration was considered. Mr. Br.con did not contend that our right to recognize Panama should be arbitrated, but he did hold that a question for arbitration tvas presented in tno differences that have arisen over the dictation of the treaty of 1846. Speaking of the proposition to ten der the good offices of the United States in order to settle the contro versy between Colombia and Panama, Mr .Bacon said that this mode of pro cedure would be inadequate because it would not take into account Colom bia’s differences with the United States. In this connection he reiter ated that the Panama revolution was an accomplished tact and said he was further convinced that the canal would be built at Panama. This being true, he argued that “there is no more im portant duty than to remove whatever source of friction there may be.” BRYAN TO GO TO KENTUCKY. House Kills Resolution Inviting Roose velt.

AWAITING OPPORTUNE TIME. Russia Watching for Favorable Mo ment to Reply. PARIS—It is understood that the conferences between Foreign Minister Lainsdorff and M. Kurtno. the Japan ese minister at St. Petersburg have permitted the latter to advise his gov ernment concerning the position'Rus sia is likely to take in the forthcoming answer, but the officials here say this was merely an intermediary step to wards adjusting the remaining differ-; ences, as the answer is subject to change until officially communicated. It is further said that Russia will not answer until she feels reasonably assured that her answer will not have the effect of causing hostilities. The officials here are gratified at an apparently authoritative statement that Japan does not intend to fortify the straits of Korea. They say it, will remove one of the main, obstacles, as the most recent hogotia ttons showed that Russia was unalter ably opposed to the creation of any condition in Korea which would lead 1 to closing that outlet from the Sea of Japan. A strong intimation has been made that the maritime nations of Europe anu the United States would have taken up the question unless this doe laration had been made. _l I RIGHTS OF THE PRESIDENT. United States' Attitude Toward Part-' ama Revolution. WASHINGTON—The time of the senate Thursday was devoted to de-; bate rather than to set speeches on the attitude of the United States to ward the Panama revolution. There was a variation, however, in that the discussion also had reference to the right of the president to withhold in formation called for by the senate. The immediate foundation of the contra-' versy was the democratic caucus res-1 olution calling on the president to state whether he has yet supplied all the papers in the archives hearing on the Panama affair. The debate was opened by Mr. Cul berson and was participated in by Gorman and Bacon, on the democratic side of the chamber, and by Messrs Cullom, Spooner and Lodge on the re publican side. The democrats con-1 tended for the right of the senate to | demand information in the possession of the executive department bearing on treaties before the senate, while the republicans spoke in defense of the discretion of the president to withhold information.

After the sentence Wright went to the lavatory, while the tipstalT in attendance on him remained out side.

AS TO THE INTEGRITY OF CHINA It Will Not Be Guaranteed—Russia's Draft of Reply to China Has Not Yet Been Officially Presented, but Will Be Soon. LONDON —The Daily Graphic claims; to be able to affirm that Rus sia’s draft of Its reply has not yet been officially presented to Japan, but it has been communicated to M. Kurino, the Japanese minister at St. Petersburg, who has transmitted the contents to Tokio, whence it will be conveyed to the friendly powers. The reply of Russia is firm, the Daily Graphic says, hut it refuses to permit the reinsertion of the draft of the treaty of the two words guaran teeing the integrity and independence of China, which Japan insisted on in its last note. The clause proposed by Japan was that Russia and Japan should mutually agree to respect the ‘‘integrity and independence of China and Corea.” Russia has now strick en out twice the words "China and Corea.” and it is understood that this will close the negotiations. It is probable, the Daily Graphic goes on to say. that when this note is received Japan will notify Baron Dc Rosen that it has no alternative but to taae up arms in defense of its interests, and that M. Kurino will be Instructed to demand his passports. In the meanwhile instructions have been sent: to the two Japanese cruis ers at Colombo to proceed to Singa pore. where, in .he event of war be ing declared, their crews will be paid off and the vessels laid up.

The total of 80,000.00 yen a year to be obtained by these measures will be devoted to the securing of war loans. A dispatch to Reuters’ Telegram company from Tokio says the elder statesmen were received in audience by the emperor and that it is gener ally believed in Tokio that Japan has requested Russia to hasten her reply. Russian military activity on the Co rean frontier is exciting increasing uneasiness. TALK RECESS APPOINTMENTS. Specific Information is Asked of the President.

A Talk by Gimmono of North Caro lina. WASHINGTON.—The senate pro ceedings Wednesday included a speech by Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, in support of the Panama canal treaty, and the passage of a number of bills and resolutions. Mr. Simmons was the lirst democratic senator to favor the measure on the lloor of the senate. He announced his disapproval of the Intervention of the United S<ates in the Panr.ma re volt, but said tnat as the revolution was an accomplished fact, and was such before the treaty was made, he could not accept the theory that the treaty itself was Invalid. Mr. Simmons said he believed the president and the secretary of state should be relieved of all charges of complicity in the Panama revolt. He added that he did not believe the pos session of information concerning an approaching revolution should be ac cepted as discrediting the president, and addea: In reference to the views of others on this side of the chamber who may differ with me, I think the state ment or the president in this re spec* should be accepted. Undoubtedly the president knew of the forthcoming re volution in Panama. It was his duty in view of imminent insurrection to have on the ground sufficient force to protect the lives and property of Am erican citizens. This he did ar.d if he had done no more than tihis he would have done no more than his duty under the law. Mr. Simmons announced his beliof that the change of recommendation b- the Isthmian Canal commission from Nicaraguan to the Panama route had been the result of honest convic tion. He also accepted the Spooner act as a deliberate pronouncement by congress in favor of Panama, and a direction to the president to construct tne canal by that route, "if possible to acquire title in a reasonable time." He continued: it is vehemently asserted by some of the opponents of this treaty that a voie for its ratification under the cir cumstr.ces is tanamount to condon ing the action of the administration as to the resolution and the recogni lion. I thought that as favorably as I considered this treaty, as impor tant to us as is the immediate con struction of the canal. I don't think I can vote for it. 1 join my colleagues in condemning whatever is wrong the president and administration may have done in bringing about the Re public of Panama, but in my vote on the treaty l propose to recognize and act on the fact that Panama is an independent state, possessed of equal rights and powers to make this treaty as w-e ourselves possess. r»t only with our consent, but the prac tically unanimous consent of all the civilized nations of the world. Considerable discussion follow-ed of a bill providing means for citizens of Porto Rico and the Philippines >to become citizens of the United States. The fact was developed that citizens of these ana other countries similarly situated to the United States have no means of becoming naturalized as citizens. Mr. Pettus, during tne de bate, suggested that the island of Porto Rico should be made a territory and Mr. Foraker said he had not as much objection to that eud as some of his colleagues. The bill passed, but Mr. Spooner entered a motion to reconsider, which went over. DON’T HAVE TO RAISE BRIDCE3. Decision Affecting Pittsburg and Alio qneny City.

The Lebaudy airship, in its recent trial between Paris and Moisson, a distance of abotit fifty miles, showed a ' docile dirigibility, giving it the palm among balloons, and its screw pro peller working up to a maximum of a thousand revolutions a minute, ena bled it to make headway against mod erate winds and choose its own course and return. The ship, after two hours of successful sailing and maneuvering, came duly back to its own shed, and dropped down before its door, like a dove returning to its cote. It has since suffered damage and been near ly destroyed in other experiments, but the success of the one referred to is a step forward in aeronautics and of such significance in that delicate and difficult practice. Beet in the World. Estherviile, la., Feb. 1st.—Mr. George J. Barber of this place says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best medicine in the world. There is noth ing as good. I had been sick for over 15 years with Kidney Disease which finally turned into Bright's Disease. 1 was treated by Doctors in Chicago but they didn't do me any good. The best Doctor in Estherviile treated me for five years with no better success. I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and made up my mind to give them a trial. “I am very thankful to be able to say that they cured me completely and I think they are the best medicine —* in the world.” The honest, earnest, straightfor ward experiences of real living men and women are the only material used in advertising Dodd's kidney Pills. One such testimony is worth more than a thousand unsupported claims. The people who have used Dodd's Kidney Pills are those whose evi dence is worth consideration and surely nothing can lie more convinc ing than a statement like Mr. Bar ber's. There are thousands of others just as strong. Jealousy—The homage paid by fail ure to success. Wise man—One who is and doesn't I show it.
