THREE DEVELOPED IN ONE

England Had Hot End of Two--Scnator
Morgan Jumps All Over England as tho
Instigator OF Nicaragua Objection
to the Proposed Canal.

WASHINGTON, JAN 23.-The session
three distinct sensations. Most i'm
portant of these was the presentation
by Mr.. Sherman of letter from Min
ister Rodriguez, the representative
of the Greater Republic of Central
America Including Nicaragua, in eff
feet protesting against the execution
of the Nicaraguan canal project by the
United States under the concession
granted in 1887 to the Nicaraguan
Canal company. As the bill for this
purpose was about to be voted on by
the Senate, the appearance of the let
ter created CONSERVATION among it's
friends.
Mr.. Morgan. its chief supporter, at
once declared the letter was inspired
by Great Britain, who sought to drive
the United States from the isthmus by
using the Central Americas as a cats
paw. He asserted Minister Rodriguez
had come here to execute such plan,
and that it was an open threat against
American control of the canal The
debate was very earnest, and the letter
made profound impression on the
senators. Senator Villas declared it
struck death blow to the canal pro-
ject proposed by the pending bill
Earlier in the day the Senate unex-
pectedly found itself discussing the
new Anglo-American treaty. While
tie treaty itself has been released, all
discussion of it is restricted to eX-
ecutive sessions. Notwithstanding
this rule the expressions were free and
full from Messrs. Sherman, Gray, Gull
lom, Lodge, Hoar, Stewart and others.
The statements of these Senators were
uniformly favorable to the high prin-
pie of the treaty, the only qualification
being that it should receive mature
and dispassionate consideration.
Shortly after the session began Mr..
Turpic caused preliminary furry by
criticising the reported agreement be-
tween Mr.. Olncy and Mr.. Sherman by
which no action was to be taken as to
Cuba before March 4. Mr.. Sherman
emphatically denied that any such
agreement had been made, and added
he had not had word with Mr. Olney
in that direction.
Mr. Turpie gave notice of speech
on the Cameron Cuban resolution on
Monday. These three incidents relat-
ing to current foreign questions made
