A VAIN HOPE Turkish Minister Receives Scant Attention at State Department. Washington. Dec. 18.—When Ciiekfb Bey, the Turkish minister called at the state department yesterday afternoon with another telegram from the tnblime porte to the effect that the American consul at Alexandretta. Mr. Davis. had treated the local police in a rough way and reiterating the explanation which the minister brought several days ago. he was informed that his explanation did not agree with the facts as the state department had learned them. It was plainly indicated to the minister that the explanation sent by the porte was far from satisfactory and that if ft had been presented in the hope of tempering the vigorous policy already begun by the state department to obtain reparation and apology, the hope was a vain one.

ADMINISTRATION CONDEMNED The Venerable Senator Hoar Risei Equal to the Occasion. Washington. Dec. 18.—The senate yesterday afternoon was the scene of a most important debate on the isthmir.n canal question as affected by the president's recognition of the inde pendence of the republic of Panama The discussion began with a speech by Mr. Hoar on his resolution of in quiry and lasted severrl hours. In ad dition to Mr. Hoar's address then were speeches by Mr. Gorman and Mr Foraker. All three were notable ut terances and of historical interest. Mr. Hour confined his remarks to his. resolution and they were carefully written out and read from manuscript. He held that this country has not yet received full official inforniatic i concerning the isthmian revolution, and criticised in sharp terms the conduct of this country as shown by what has been given out. He compared the conduct of the I'nited States on the isthmus to a policeman who would manacle and hold a person about to be attacked for robbery, and who would then insist on having the spoils of the theft delivered to himself. There was no reservation in Mr. Gorman's utterances. He practically alleged that the situation in Panama had been created to make a campaign issue, and charged Assistant Secretary of State Loomis with a violation of the proprieties in discussing the question at a banquet in New York. He also said that unless further light was thrown on the subject he would op pose the Panama treaty. He also referred to the impetuous action of the executive and declared that the senate should prevent the jeopardizing of the business interests of the country. Mr. Foraker took Mr. Hoar to task severely fur his remarks reflecting on the administration and his Indiscretion in speaking in open session epn earning executive matters. He de fended the administration for its altitude toward the Panama revolution. A heated colloquy took place between Mr. Foraker and Mr. Hoar during an effort of the Massachusetts senator to exp'ain more fully bis position In the matter. Deserted by Their Guides. Whatcom. Wash.. Dec. 18 —Ton Chi nese who had been deserted by their guides who piloted them across the International boundary line into this country were arrested as they made their way into this city in famished and exhausted condition.
