Show THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY. Republicans Vill Have Senate Consider Con-sider Document The Republican senators held a caucus cau-cus Tuesday and decided to have the senate continue consideration of the Panama canal treaty in future until the treaty shall be disposed of. This result was reached after an hour and a half's discussion of the legislative situation in the senate. The conclusion conclu-sion reached was unanimous. The understanding un-derstanding is that the statehood bill does not lose its advantageous position posi-tion in the, order of business when the senate is not in executive session. The Republican supporters of the statehood state-hood bill agree not to antagonize a motion for an executive session to consider the canal treaty, nor to make any objection to the prolongation of such sessions to any extent necessary to secure ratification. |
