4 VICTORY FOR mr.. MORGAN
The Nicaragua Canal Bill Given
Precedence in the Senate.
On \ Point of Order 1t Is Made the
marks of the AIabaman.

In the Senate today Mr.. Morgan in a
successful effort 10 have the Nicaragua
Canal bill made the unfinished business, ."
aroused opposition from nearly ali Of the
Republicans, and some bitter debate en-
sued. Mr. Morgan said that the Republic
cans had been instructed 10 kill the Canal
bill in the Senate and that the House only
passed il TO influence the election of Mr.
Mckinley
At 10 o'clock the unfinished business
the OleOmargarine bill, was called up.
MIR Morgan obtained the fioor on a point
OF order and held that there was no IN
finished business before the Senate He
read from the Record of yesterday and
showed that when the Postoffice Appro-
priatlon bill, which temporarily displaced
the unfinished business was completed, and
new business taken up, the Diplomatic and
Consular bill, the unfinished business was
displaced.
Mr.. Morgan then asked that the Nfcara-
qua Canal Dill be made the unfinished bus
mess
The point Of order caused a great furry
among the Republicans. Mr.. Chandler &C
cupied the chair. and he was at once IN
consultation with Messrs. Allison. Al
drich, Spooner. and others
The chair ruled that the Oleonargariue
bill had been displaced as the unfinished
business. He said that he would rule on
the second point later.
Mr.. Morgan said that there were men in
the Senate who were using every method
possible 10 delay action on the Nicaragua
Canal BILL and that he had been watching
them
These men are willing to be kicked and
cuifed about by King Edward VII and are
kneeIing TO his every within. They do
not believe that the United States has any
rights unless Great Britain says So" said
he. The Record viii prove all Of my
statements and 1 defy any man TO deny
them
Mr.. AIdrich read Rule 10 show that
Mr. Morgans point was not well taken
Mr.. Morgan then read Rule 10 in support
of his point.
There are good reasons for this fin
esse today said Mr.. Morgan. When
this bill was before the House certain
Mr. Cannon. not priestly canonicai nor
yet a large gun, said that if the vote en-
the measure was to be the final one, it
would not get ten votes in the House.
He yelled that he did not expect it to
be passed in the Senate. I have watched
this prophecy, and see II has come up
again today"
Mr. Aldrich said that he was glad Mr..
Morgan knew that the bill could not be
passed at this session.
II know nothing Of the kind" said Mr..
Morgan. Il only know that the Canal bill
was used TO influence the election OF Mr.
Mckinley, the Republicans knowing all
the time that their instructions were to
defeat il in the Senate
The Presiding Officer finally ruled that
the Oleomargarine bill was displaced as
the unfinished business and that its place
at the head of the calendar was taken by
the Canal bill

Butte Races Are Dead.

Says the Butte IntermoLntain: Blcy-
Gle racing I'm Butte is now a thing OF
the past until next season. Not for
ten months will there be seen the tsirit-
ed contest where Drawn and muscle
strive to drive silent steeds around
the steep inclines OF saucer track, In
the exciting battles for speed supre-
macy No more will the putting Of the
motor cycles be heard, nor the popping
OF the starters gun, nor the calling Of
the laps, nor the ringing Of the gong,
nor anything else that was a part Of
one Of, II not the grandest sport Butte
has known for many a day, And II
is all because Butte would not support
the sport.
After the races Tuesday night, Man
ager King. OF the Butte Athletic asso-
citation decided that he had given the
sport as thorough a test az could be
desired, and as he was convinced that
It was useless 10 continue further with
a losing game. he called the races Off.
1t was evident that Butte did not
want bicycle racin gfor this season. at
least. Mr.. King says II Is only a ques-
ton Of time, however, when the sport
will rot only be appreciated, but thor
oughly relished. He says he has been
educating the public up to the sport
this season and netX season will reap
his reward I'm catering 10 bicycling en-
thuslasts Of his own making The
educating process has been expensive
but Mr.. King does not complain Of that.
He says he had a big undertaking on
hand ad though II failed, from a finan-
clal point Of view It was a success
from the view polt Of a sport lover.
OF the latter, Their can be no question.
as the bicycling races was In every
way exciting clean and thoroughly
honest.
