MORGAN HAS NOT
 HEARD OF PROTEST As to Using San Juan River in
 Canal System HE IS STILL VERY HOPEFUL Expects His Measure to be Taken Up Just as Soon as Disposition is
 is Made of the Ship
 Subsidy Bill.
HE IS STILL VERY HOPEFUL

Washington, January 11.-Ssnator Morgan today denied emphatically that he had re- ceived any communication from the State Department notifying him that Messrs. For ward & Co., an English shipping corpora tion, had made formal protest to this gov ernment against the use of the San Juan river as part of the proposed Nicaragua canal system because of a concession from Nicaragua to that country. He said:
 T have received no communication what ever from the State Department concerning the concession to Forward & Co., or the At las Company, and I am sure that no mem- Der of the committee on the Isthmian Canal has received a notice. Nor have I made any statement to the effect that the claims of the Atlas Company are legal, as I am represented to have done, nor any other statement to any one concerning the grant.
 At the State Department 1t Is denied that there is such a communication there.
 Continuing, Senator Morgan said that he had known all the time that Nicaragua had made concession to the Atlas Company, granting the right to navigate the San Juan river, but that 1t had always been his un- derstanding that Nicaragua claimed that the concession does not in any way inter fere with her right to make use of the river for purposes of navigation. Explicit pro- visions are made in the instrument for the canal.
 The Alabama Senator is still hopeful that the canal bill will be acted upon dur ing the present session of Congress and he expe sts it to be taken up whenever the subsidy bill is disposed of, if that eventu- ally should occur this session. The Re- publican steering committee of the Senate has not yet taken any formal step assign ing the canal bill a place upon the Senate calendar, but some of its members have expressed willingness to do so In some cases this promise is coupled with the con- dltion that Great Britain shall accept the Senate amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treatj.
 There is a growing expectancy in the Senate among the Republican Senators that the amendment will be accepted, and that this step will be taken in time for action on the canal bill if desired before adjournment.
 It is even asserted by some Senators that assurance to this effect has been received from high British authority.
