WILL BUILD THE CANAL.
Senator Morgan Says England May
Object if She Chooses.

New York March 12-Senator John
T Morgan, chairman of the committee
on international canals, in an inter-
view with the Washington correspond
ent of the Journal and Advertiser,
says:
IF it is true, as 1 hope it is, that
our canal rights in Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA, acquired last December by
a compact between the United States
and those republics, will not become
the subject of negotiations, on the in
itiation of England, we shall proceed
quietly to construct own and use the
canal, and Great Britain will be left to
make her objections in such form az
she may choose.
Those agreements were made delib-
erately and with full knowledge that
they were in diametric opposition to the
Clayton BulWer treaty. They were
based on the principles of and adopted
almost literally the regulations pre-
Scribed for the Suez canal by the treaty
of Constantinople of 1888.
The president recognized the right
of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, to qualify
their agreement with the United States
according to the plans and principles
of the treaty of Constantinople.
Great Britain and the United States
had agreed to the same declarations in
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and in con-
formity Herewith had agreed to silence
any objection that might arise out of
the CIayton-BuIwer treaty to the ex-
elusive ownership and control of the
Nicaraguan canal by the United States.
Great Britain did not urge any OBJ
jectiOns, but referred to them as being
possible only and consented to remove
them. Her honorable course at that
time may not continue to animate her
conduct under the reign of King Ed
ward, but she must be aware that Il
covert threat of displeasure at our ex-
ecuting our agreements with Nicaragua
will lose its moral force and its power
to alarm the United States into another
fit of paralysis.
Those agreements upon which the
whole question of the canal now hinges,
will be carried out in harmony and
with the undivided sentiment of the
American people. If the conclusion that
Great Britain is alleged to have
reached had been given to the senate
ten days ago, the Hepburn bill would
now be the law of the land. All de-
lay now is to the advantage of Great
Britain and to our terrible disadvantage
but she has gained another year on us.
hope it will be the last. We contem-
plate no breach of the peace or of good
feeling because we shall do. under our
agreements with Costa Rica and Mic
aragua, what we have agreed TO do, as
those agreements are in line with the
treaty of ConstantinOple, to which all
Europe aSSents."

SAYS QUESTION OF
CANAL STILL OPEN
Great Britain Is Ready for Fur
Their Negotiations.
TO ATTACK MONROEISM
LONDON PAPER SAYS DOCTRINE
SHOULD BE EXPLODED.

London, March 12.-The foreign Office
officials here are nettled by the state
ment circulated that no opening is left
for further action in the case of Great
Britain's reply-to the United States no
LITIGATION of the, senate amendments
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. 1t is
pointed out that Great Britain's reply
invites further propositions from the
United States. Moreover the foreign
office understands something of this
sort is already contemplated in Wash
ington.
A representative of the Associated
Press has been officially informed that
there is no desire of the British gov
eminent that the matter should be
dropped. They confidently expect fur
Their negotiations and hope for sat
isfactory conclusion, though this does
not lessen their inSistence on the in
tegrity of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
until both signatories consent to its
abrogation.
The afternoon papers here today fol-
low the morning papers in approving
the governments refusal to accept the
senate amendments to the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. The only novel suggestion
in the matter appears in the Evening
Standard which is of the opinion that
the time has come to attack Monroeism
and says:
Now that the republic is taking an
active interest in the worlds politics,
the time has come when the fiction that
the western hemisphere is to be re-
garded as close preserve for Amer
lean enterprise should finally be ex-
plOded. English interests are quite as
paramount as those of the sister state

PROPERTY.

The deet for the sale of the tract 81
land Owned by Vince Davis at tie
moath o. Bear river, known as the
Davis duclz2 camp, was completed yes
terday. As published in The Herald, a
number of Denver capitalists, headed
by A. 3. Danial and George Vallery
have been negotiating with Davis for
the purchase of this tract of land, and
they completed the deal yesterday
through Senator Stephen Love of this
city, who acted as their agent.
The amount sof land involved was
2.0Oe acres and the purchase price $4,000.
which includes all the property at the
Davis camp, so well known to the duck
hunters in this section of the state.
Mr.. Love stated yesterday that the
same parties had also secured an OPP

ing the Davis prOpert and would in
all probability buy it. which will give

duck hunting ground in the country.
From all that can be learned, the
neE owners will not close their prop
erty to duck hunters during the pres
ent season. but in the future no out
slider will be allowed to hunt on their
grounds. 1t is proposed to make a
shooting preserve out of the place and

NO COUNCIL SESSION.
Veto of Eighth Ward Sale Will Be
Sustained

Because TIE state senate was in ses-
sion in the council chamber last evening,
and only ten out of the fifteen desks nee
essary were available in the session room
of the board of education. the city coun-
ell concluded It could not hold a meet
ing. The time of meeting was postponed
till Friday night at the school board
rooms, and Recorder NyStrom was di-
rected to have some one see to il that ink
and pens were supplied the councilmen,
for the word went out that no meeting
could be held If the members did not
have writing material
After adjournment there was some talk
informally about the mayors veto of the
proposition to sell the city'S lot adjoining
the Eighth ward meeting house on the
east to the Relief society of the ward for
81 800. II was conceded that the veto
would be sustained, and the delegation of
Eighth warders present announced that
they would probably have to double their
offer. Acting Bishop Nc Allster said his
colleagues could not afford to let any
other bidders buy the lot, which is valued
at upward of S3,oO0. Word was sent out
by Mayor Thompson that he would con-
tribute 500 to the fund for its purchase
at the reasonable market value, Yet he
was of the opinion that the city should
not sell the lot.
The WaterworkS committee got tOgeth-
er and passed upon number of water
tax Attachments and petitions for extern
sfOnS of the pipe system.

PROSPECT OF NEW TREATY.
None VIII Be Submitted Unless Ger
tain It Will Pass the Senate.

tain It Will Pass the Senate.
Washington. March 12.-No step has
been taken by either side since the de-
livery of the British note treating of
the senate amendments to the Hay
PauncefOte treaty and it is understood
that none will be taken in the imme-
date future. The treaty expired March
3, and it is stated positively that be-
fore this government decided as to
whether or not it shall enter upon
negotiations for a new treaty with
Great Britain, an effort will be made to
learn the views of senators and the
party leaders in congress. There will
be no treaty submitted to the senate eX-
cept upon a clear understanding that
is strong enough to secure the vote Of
tWO-thirdS of the body.
A suggestion has been made that an
International congress to be held in
Washington might prove the best
means of harmOnizing the differences
and bringing about a common ground
of understanding. Out of such a con-
gress grew the Suez convention which
controls the usage of that waterway
There is reason to believe that the pro-
Ject of an international congress at
Washington would meet with favor
from several of the European maritime
powers which have not UP to this time
taken a prominent part in the canal
affairs.

reply to the United States senate
