 Speaks for the Treaty ImpOrta mt
 Correspondence With Colombia and
 Panama Canal Company Called For.%
 Washington, Dec 18.-The friends of the y-Pauncefote treaty occupied nearly all of the time of the Senate in executive session to-day, Senators For aker and Morgan being the speakers.
 Previous to the taking up of that treaty the Senate, for the purpose or clearing its calendar, disposed of sev- eral other treaties of comparatively lit tie importance. They were as follows.
 Extending for one year the time with | in which the commercial treaty with Argentine may be ratified. Extending for a year the time within which the treaty with Great Britain for reciproci- ty with Jamaica may be ratified. The new extradition treaties with Bolivia and Chile.
 | When the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was taken up the question was on the reso- lution offered in open session earlier in the day by Senator Tillman, calling for the correspondence between this gov- ernment and the government of Colom- bia relative to the right of the United States to construct canal across Co., lombian territory The resolution was agreed to after it was amended at the instance of Senator Morgan, as to also call for the correspondence of the Pan anna Canal company including all of fers on the part of that company and negotiation with it concerning the Pan anna canal.
 Senator Baird of California gave mo- tice of an amendment he will offer to the treaty providing that the United States shall have the right to discrimf- nate in favor of American goods ship ped through the canal in American ves- sells engaged in the coastwise trade"
 Senator Foraker's speech from first to last was defense of the -Iay-Paunce- fote treaty, and he took occasion to praise in high terms Secretary Hay, who he said, is not only an accomplish ed gentleman and scholarly man, but patriot and a statesman of high or der
 Senator Morgan traversed much of the ground he covered in his previous arguments in support of the Hay Pauncefote treaty. He referred to the protocol agreed upon between Nicara- qua and Costa Rica regarding the canal and said that the ratification of the Hay treaty is debt we owe to them. These countries, if they should see fit, might rise ID and refuse to allow us to do hence we could not afford to do anything that would offend them. For this reason he would have the neu- trality of the canal assured and the pending treaty ratified.
