FRIENDS OF THE TREATY
Take Up Most of the Time of the Senate
Some Ratification.


Washington. Dec. 19-The friends
of the Pauncefote treaty occupied
nearly all of the time of the senate
in executive session yesterday. For
aker aud Morgan being the speakers.
Previous to the taking up of that treaty
the senate, for the purpose of clear
iEg its calendar. disposed of several
other treaties OF comparatively little
Importance. Five conventions in all
were ratified. Among the documents
thus disposed of was an agreement
supplementary TO the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty itself. and extending the time
within which it may be ratified. I'm
der the terms of the original treaty
the time for ratification expired five
months ago. The agreement favor
ably passed upon extends the time I'M
til March 4.
Senator Foraker's speech from first
TO last was defense of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. and he took oc-
casion TO praise in high terms Secre-
accomplished gentleman and scholarly
man. but n patriot and statesman of
n high order. He had differed from
the secretary in some respects, he said
as TO the policy TO be pursued. but any
fairminded man must recognize that
in negotiating the pending treaty the
secretary of state had accepted condi-
tions as he found them, and that in
falling into the policy of neutrality he
had only followed historic precedents
As for himself. he had always fl.
vOred an American policy in dealing
with the question of the construction
of the canal. but no one who would
give the least attention TO the subject
could fail to see that the neutral policy
had been the policy of this country in
the past.
Every administration since 1850 had
given some recognition TO the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty, and that document
was 10 be found i'm the government
latest treaty compilation. To further
show the attitude Of this nation Fora
ker quoted the fifteenth article of the
treaty made between the United States
and Nicaragua i'm regard to the canal
in 1861. as follows: The United
States hereby agree to extend theil
protection TO all such routes OF com
merce as aforesaid and to guarantee
the neutrality and innocent use of the
same. They also agree TO employ Jhei
influence with other nations to induce
them TO guarantee such neutrality and
protection"
Morgan traverSed much Of the ground
he had covered in his previous argu
mentS in support of the Hay-Paunce
fote treaty. He referred to the proto
Gals agreed to between Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA regarding the canal. and
said that the ratification of the Hay
treaty is a debt we owe TO them. Those
countries. if they should see tit. might
rise up and refuse 10 allow us to dC
anything; hence we could not afford I,
do anything that would offend them
For this reason he would have the
neutrality of the canal assured and tb.
pending treaty ratified.
