TAKES ISSUE WITH MCKINLEY.
Senator Morgan Urges Adoption o
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty Resolution.

Washington. d. c.. Feb Ex-senator Nor
gan. Of the Committee on Foreign Re,a-
tions. has made a minority report upon the
resolution declaring that the ratification Of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Is not condi-
ton precedent to the construction of the
Nicaragua canal and that the United States
should proceed with that work regard Iess
Of the existence Of the Clayton-Bulwer
agreement
The committee made an adverse report
upon the resolutions a few days ago and
Senator Morgan eontroverts the wisdom
OF that action. Senator Morgan intfmates
that the adverse report was made to con-
form to the views of the President On
this point he says:
and ! cannot admit that the President has
any right to direct Congress as to the time
when It is expedient to express approval
ments with Nicaragua and Costa RIca.
This claim was made In the COMMITTEES
and his views as to the expediency of ac-
to the resolutions. From this view of the
duty OF the Senate I wholly dissent"
In another connection he says on the
I'VE are bound to agree with Costa Rica
and NICARAGUA as to the terms on which
United States IL this subject is to be set
I'VE have 50 agreed and the question is
under a subordination to the criticisms that
British opinion may inffict upon us. we will
permit that government to compel the
President to abandon these agreements.
They are honorable. just. lawful and I'm.
conceivably valuable. and once abandoned
We cannot expect peaceful resumption
of them"
Mr. Morgan also takes the position that
the President already has outlined the posi-
tfon of the United States toward the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty by negotiating the proto-
coils with Costa Rica and Nicaragua
'It is quite clear" he says. that the
President In making these agreerents IN
the name Of the United States defantiy
disregarded any claim Of rights that Great
Britain could assert to tho effect that her
consent was necessary to such action on
his part as President. And. equally. he
asserted the right of Congress to disregard
any claims Of Great Britain to prevent
the acquisition OF such rights from Costa
Rica and Nicaragua and to appropriate
money for that distinct purpose.
beyond question he has bound himself
as President and as a plenipotentiary to
those agreements, and II they violate the
rights Of Great Britain or give her lust
offense Congress is also bound either to
undo the wrong and atone for 1t and repu-
diate and impeach what the President has
done. or sustain bis action"
