PLEA FOR CANAL BILL.
SENATOR MORGAN FAvORABLY RE
PORTS A RESOLUTION ABROGAT-
ING CLAYTON-BULwER TREATY.

Washington. June 4.-Senator Morgan. from
.ra Committee on Inreroceanic Canals. to-day
4sxorablv reported the resolution for the alb
roga-ion Of the C1ayton-Bulwer Treaty As re-
,orred. the resolution reads:
That the treaty known as the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. between Great Britain and the United
States which was concluded on the 18th day
of APRIL 1880 IS abrogated.
IN presenting the resolution. Mr.. Morgan made
g written report. traversing the grounds for the
abrogarion Of the treaty in considerable detail.
The report is practically a plea for the House
Nicaragua Canal bill In il Senator Morgan
saws that IF the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty stands
II 1he way or the purposes Of our Government.
i must give way 10 the paramount law If the
House bill is enacted into a statute Of the United
States" He admits however. that II is ques-
ton whether il is an obstruction The effect
Of the Hav-Pauncefore Treaty is discussed in
detail and the conclusion is drawn that "as TO
81 that relates to the canal. the HayPaunce-
fote Treaty. Il IL is ratified, terminates and alb
ragates the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty" But, he
saws. Il the Senate should reject the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty the startling question will
be raised whether the Senate, IN the exercise Of
its treaty making power. can abdicate or para
I'VE its treaty making power. Can one-third
of the Senate by defeating the -Pauncefote
negotiation" ne asks. compel a majority Of the
Senate 10 abstain from enacting the House Bill
because the Clayton Bulwer Treaty would be
thereby put into full effect as bar such
scfionT".
IN conclusion the report says that If the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty is in force. and if Great
Britain insists II is the clear duty Of Congress
10 declare il is abrogated-" Il the treaty is
sorogared. the conclusion is that the way is
cleared for proposing TO Nicaragua and Costa
Rica such terms as may be appropriate for
curing IN those States whatever rights and
powers they are a. liberty TO conCede to enable
the United States 20 construct and control the
canal. and also open the way for such general
declaration to the neutrality Of the canal as
shall meet the appreciation Of the civilized
Powers.
# this resolution is rejected and the Hay
Paunce1OJe Treaty is not ratified. viii be
left says the report. TO the alternative We
should now accept Of declaring that the Clay
Eon-Bul7er Treaty cannot stand as perpetual
barrier, + such is the pleasure Of Great Britain.
