WANTS THE FACTS Senate Passes a Resolution Calling on the President fcr Information. Democratic Caucus Measure Adopted by the Solons Without a Dissenting Voice. Reso'ution Looking to Adjustment of Our Row With Colombia Tiken UpWashington. Jan. 30. —The senate has adopiei! the resolution introduced by Mr. Culberson of the Democratic caucus whicli calls on the president to State whether the senate has been , supplied with all the facts bearing on I the controversy ot Panama. The vote on the resolution was unanimous, but there was a roll-call on the amend I ments suggested by Mr. Cullom for the I Republican side of the chamber, call- | ing for the information only in case the president considers it not incompatible with the public interest to supply it. This amendment was adopted by 39 to 20. all the Republican senators present voting for the amendment and all the Democrats except Melnery. who voted with the Republicans. casting their votes against. There were during the debate fre- I quent assurances that notwithstanding j } the modification, all the papers bearing on the question would be tent to ' the senate. The Culberson inquiry no : sooner had been disposed of than the ; Bacon resolution looking to the adjustment of our differences with Colom- i bia by arbitration was considered. Mr. ' Bacon made an extended speech in ; I support of the proposition, holding j that even if there was no truth in Col- j ■ ombia's charges, the mere fact that , charges were made raised an issue which should be mot in a conciliatory manner. IN THE HOUSE The Mileage Quest'on Is Agitating the Law-Makers. Washington. Jan. 3t The house is | considering whether tneinlers of congress are en::tk I to be pa d mileage | a second time. The controversy aiose on an item in the urgent deficiency bill providing for two payments of mileag' ; for senators and members of the h usi on account oi the extra session which merged into the regular s -sion. A point of order was raised by Mr. Mad dox (Dem., Ga.) against the payment of mileage a second time, and lie was supported by Mr. Link field (Rep., i Me.), who contended that there had been no interregnum and consequently but one session of congress and then is no authority of law for a second ap.propriation for mileage. The interest manifested in the question was shown by the fact that there were few empty seats on either side of the chimin r when the mileage item was reached Mr. Littlefield received close attention and was plied with nu merous questions as to his interprets i tion of the law and 'he constitution. Consideration of the amendment increasing the appropriation for the expenses of the district land offices pre cipitated a discussion on the subject of alleged land frauds. Mr. Mondell I Rep Wyo.), author of th» amendment, in urging an increased appropriation. called attention to the increased volume of business. Robinson ' tDem. Ind.i asked u the increased I business was not due to fraudulent | entries- Mr. Mondell replied that h- 1 had no knowledge to 'hat effect, and 1 said he believed the reports of fraud to be greatly exaggerated by person’ j whose interest it is to have suc'i I reports circulated. The provision in ' the urgent deficiency bill to defray the expenses of the international ex change commission, and another pro ■ lision authorizing the consolidation 1 custoti’s collection districts were strick- n out.
