SENATOR MORGAN SAYS
No Protest Has Been Made by English
Shipping Company
AGAINST USE or THE SAN JUAN PIvEH
The Alabama senator II Hopeful thu
the Canal Bill VIII BE
Acted Upon.

Washington. January Ex-senator
Morgan today denied emphatically that
he had received any communication from
the state department notifying him tina.
Sfessrs. Forward & Co.. an English ship
ping corporation. had made formal pro-
test 10 this government against the use
OF the San Juan river as part OF the
proposed Nicaragua canal system because
Of concession from Nicaragua TO that
company.
lie said: Il have received 10 COM
munication whatever from the state de-
partment concerning the con-
eession to Forward & Co.,
or the Atlas company, and am
sure that no menoer OF the committee
on i5thmian canals has received any
such notice. Nor nave made any state
ment to the effect that the claims OF
the Atlas company are legal, as l an
reported TO nave done nor any other
statement to any one concerning the
grant"
AT The state department it is denied
there IS such communication there.
Committing, Senator Morgan said that
ne had known all the time that Nicaragua
had made a concession to tine Atlas com
pany granting the right 10 navigate the
san Juan river. but that II had always
heen his understanding that Nicaragua
claimed that the concession does not n
sny way interfere with her right to
make use OF the river for purposes OF
navigation Explicit provis IONS are made
in the instrument for the canal
The Alabama senator is stil hopeful
thar the canal bill Will be acted upon
during the present session OF congress,
and he expects It to be taken up when
ever the subsidy bill is disposed of, IL
that should occur this session.
The republican steering committee OF
the senate has not yet taken any formal
step regarding the canal bill being placed
on the senate calendar. but some OF its
members have expressed willingness TO
do So In some cases this promise Is
coupled with the condition that Great
Britain shall accept the senate amend
merits TO the Hay -Pauneefote treaty.
Ttere is a growing belief in the SEN
ate. and especially among republican SEN
ators. that the amendments will be ac-
cepted and that this step Will be taken
in sufficient time 10 permit action upon
the canal bill If desired before adjourn
ment. Il is even asserted by some SEN
ators that assurance to this effect has
been received from high British author
