TO REPORT IT FAvORABIY.
Mcrgan's Bill Providing For Acquisition Of
Right of Way For the Canal.
(By the Assoca .ed Press. }

Washington, Dec. l2.--The Senate Com
mittee on Isthmian Canals today au-
thorized favorable report upon Sena-
tor Morgans bill providing fer the ac-
QUESTION from Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
of the right of way via tre Nicaragua
route. Senator Morgan later presented
this report to the Senate, accompanying
the return of the bill with voluminous
report upon the general subject of a
canal across the Isthmus. Action upon
the bill providing for the construction of
the canal was deferred.
Senator Morgan's report deals with
many of the questions connected with the
construction of the canal, including a
thorough inquiry into the attitude of
Great Britain upon the subject and the
different canal routes. He also discusses
the relationship of the Panama Canal
Company to tho construction by the Uli.
ted States f a waterway across the
Isthmus And while he makes reference
to al letter written by President Hltin,
of the Panama Company, to Secretary of
the communication.
Referring to the Panama Canal Com
pany, Senator Morgan says that either this
canal company is desperate in it's pur-
pose to unload it's property upon the
United States because the French stock
holders have lost faith in it's success,
or that it is endeavoring to prevent the
competition of any canal with its Pan
ANA Railroad, the shares of which they
value at $500, the face value being 500
rer share, On account of its enormous
earnings
Senator Morgan attributes the failure
TO construct the canal in the past to
the attitude of other nations, saying 'for
the past fifty years the power and influ-
ence of the British Government aided by
combinations in the United States and
France has defeated all efforts to oIen
an American Isthmian canal

France that have assisted in Suppressing
the demands Of our industrial classes for
a canal to connect the great ocean are
chiefly the Trans Continental railway in
Canada and in Panama and those in the
United States-eight great corporations
that now control almost the entire trans
portation service between the oceans that
wash the coasts of the western hemis-
phere."
In further discussing the attitude of
Great Britain Senator Morgan says:
'It is clear that an overruling neces-
sity of imperial, commercial, and mill
tary policy connected with her policy as
to the Suez Canal, to Great Britain to
adhere to the Clayton Bulwer treaty as
a means of preventing the construction
of a canal through Nicaragua, by the
United States, while she would continue
to hold the vantage ground of occupation
and increasing authority in the terrific
ries of Nicaragua and Honduras, which
she had agreed to abandon. Her inten-
ton to control both canals was then evil
IDENTIFY fixed' Isl
He asserts that Great Britain's control
OF the Mosquito coast was used as
pretense to hold us until she had accom-
plished her control of the Suez Canal
Referring to the new Hay Pauncefote
treaty he says:
"If two-t thirds of the Senate shall con-
cur with the Government of Great Brit
ain in establishing a conservative basis
upon which canal for ships through the
American Isthmus shall be operated, for
the security and benefit of nations, such
agreement may well be considered as an
advanced step in true civilization, hon
orable to both governments and rich in
blessings to mankind
''It is new alignment as to the rights
privileges and powers of the United
States, touching the ownership and con-
troll of an Isthmian canal, based on the
general principle of the freedom and neu-
trality of such canal that is declared
in the Clayton Bulwer treaty and is in
accord with our we'll established national
policy, often declared and never denied
by the United States"

Conjunction of the Planets.

1t is not often that one can see three
planets so close together and the sight in
the southwestern sky is we'll worth not
icing. Venus, Jupiter and Saturn form
the group and the two last named will
come into conjunction Thanksgiving
morning, so that Jupiter will be but
slightly to the west OF Saturn on the
evening of the 9th, aud to the east of
Saturn on the evening of the 2Sth Venus
has already recedtd to the east OF Saturn.
The interesting pursuit of Jupiter by Sa-
turn has given especial interest to the
skies for more than six months, and
everybody will be sorry to miss the
! spectacle.
