WANTS A FORTIFIED CHANNEL.
L z COOLEY GIVES HIS REASON FOR THIS AND
FOR ANNEXATION OF NICARAGUA
AND COSTA RIGA

Chicago. Feb. 81. E Cooley. the well known
engineer. who was OF the original Nicaragua
Canal supporters, is heartily in favor of a fortified
channel. and II it cannot be obtained IN any other
way he would favor the annexation Of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica- He gave his reasons as follows:
am in favor of fortified canal, principally be-
cause l do not believe the Government will ever
consent to building any other kind Of a channel
It has become matter OF expediency II for no
other reason than the change in foreign rela-
tons brought about by the late Spanish war. Then
we must also remember that in of an
unfortifed channel 1t would belong 10 the first
nation that could get there and seize it to the
one having the strongest feet. This same line Of
argument makes the Nicaragua route the best as
against all others, because II goes through couu-
try that is fertile and capable Of sustaining an
army irrespective of the sea.
I would go far to say that II would be of
advantage for this country to Nicara qua and
Costa RIGA. and then we would be able 70 do
whatever we wished regarding the canal. I be-
heve from visits there and talks with Government
officials Of those countries that annexation would
be welcomed.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS PHILIPPINE POL
ICY ATTACKED AND DEFENDED.
Washington. Feb. 6-The Philippine question
again occupied the attention OF the House to-
day, with slight DEPRESSION concerning the war
in South Africa The chief feature OF the debate
was the speech Of Mr.. Williams OF Mississippt
who presented an argument against the annexa-
ton Of the Philippines which attracted much at
tention- 1t was devoted almost entirely 70 the
commercial aspects Of the acquisition. holding
that the absorption Of the islands would be ruin
Gus to the American producers Of cotton. rice
tobacco, hemp and sugar
Mr.. Morris. OF Minnesota, made an exhaustive
legal argument in support OF the right to hold
and govern the islands The other spea kers
were Messrs. Gibson Of Tennessee; w A Smith
and H. G. Smith, OF Michigan, in support OF the
Administrators policy. and Cochran OF Mis-
souri,, and Neville, Of Nebraska, against it.
The general debate the Diplomatic bill
taken up for amendment under the FIVE minute
rule.
William Alden Smith, the member Of the For
eign Affairs Committee who offered an amend
nlent in committee for Minister TO the South
African Republic and the Orange Free State
said he knew IL would be useless to offer the
amendment in the House, a single objection
would defeat II. He would, therefore urge g.
separate bill. not TO embarrass the Government
but because he believed a diplomatic officer was
needed IN South Africa.

Washington. Feb. 6.-Secretary Hay is deter
mined that the State Department shall observe

cation may rest it toward Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA in regard to the construction Of the
Nicaragua Canal It has not been possible to
move in that matter pending the removal OF the
obstacle in the way Of canal building presented
by the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. There has not
been the slightest disposition to ignore the Gov
ernments Of these republics. but. in the view Of
the Department, 1t would not have been safe or
dignified to make overtures TO them before the
United States had acquired the power to deal
with the canal problem with free hand so far
as Great Britain was concerned Now. how
ever. the Department will address itself TO the
Governments Of Nicaragua and Costa Rica with
view to acquiring whatever privileges
deemed essential to the construction and opera
ton of the canal.
About the same time, or, rather, the
Senate ratifes the treaty and the notifications
have been exchanged, the Department will ad-
dress identical notes to the great maritime Pow
of the world, TO secure their adhesion 70 the
