treaty abrogated went over.
J Washington, March 6.-When Vice
President Roosevelt entered the
senate a burst of applause rang
through the galleries. With evident
manifestations Of disapproval the vice
president seized his gavel and raped
sharply for order. CHANGING sternly
around the galleries he said: Of
| there is any applause or disorder the
! sergeant-at-arms will clear the gal
| leries." Mr.. Plat (rep., Conn., called
up his amendment to rules relating
! to the limitation of debate. After a
short discussion the resolution was
referred to the committee on rules.
Mr.. Morgan (dem., Ala) then adj
dressed the senate upon his resolution
to abrogate the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
With some feeling he said 1--WE will
make no compromise with Great Brit
ain upon that subject. We will make
no concession to Great Britain in rela-
! ton to the treaty. What we shall do
with it, and some of our people are
/ opposed even to that, is we shall de-
clare it abrogated. If it is the pur-
pose of Great Britain to look for delay
she will not get it. If it be her deter
mination to pick a quarrel with the
United States about it she will find
the United States can muster at least
| half the number of men who voted for
the president in the last election
fighting men; and she will find, when
that war terminates, that the steel
band which binds the throne in Lon
don with Australia and India and
passes through Canada will have been
rent in twain and with its severance
down will go the empire. She will
| find that her possessions in the Car
ribean sea have lapsed. She will find
that she has overtaxed our patience.
! She has started with a new king an!
upon a new career that will break up
the empire. Does Great Britain sup
| pose she can escape from the terrors
Of the existing situation everywhere

| power against the United States?
! Senator Morgan said he did not boast
Of the power of the United States in
money, in men or in valor, but he was
thoroughly conscious of them and
! gloried in that consciousness because
he knew that when the supreme mo-
ment should come and any power in
the world should undertake to bride
tho United States by placing such re-
| strictions upon her sovereignty as
were contained in the Clayton Bulwer
! treaty the American people would
resist to the bitter end. And that
resistance" he exclaimed vehemently,
will mean the wiping out of any
! power on earth that undertakes the
! job"
