HANNA TO SPEAK AGAIN
Fairbanks Proposes an Issue
 of Bonds.
The Learned, Polished and Eloquent Hoar Pays a High Compliment to the Senior Senator
 from Alabama.

Washington, June l2.-After considera- ton of the London dock charges bill for an hour and half today. without com pleting it, the Senate resumed considera- tion of the isthmian canal question.
 Mir. Morgan (Ala.) occupied the floor for three hours and half, discussing particularly the diplomatic phases of the question.
 From this point, he was diverted by an amendment introduced by Mir. Fair banks Und) providing for the issue of bonds for the construction of the canal. MT. Morgan vigorously attacked the amendment, maintaining the expenses of the canals taxation should be paid from the treasury's current receipts
 Incidentally MT. Morgan again opposed the Panama route and assaled the report of the new Panama company to dispose of the concessions it held from the old company.
 The Recall of Silva.
 Discussing the diplomatic negotiations, the Alabama Senator intimated that Min ister Silva of Colombia had been recalled from Washington because the Colombian Government "coud raise no money on Iris opinion" which was not in accord with the views of Colombia as to canal concessions. He said that Colombia if the United States should pay 40.000. 900 for the Panama canal. would get $1, ,000. 900 down and 'how many millions more God only knows-or his Satanic majesty-who think has more to do with this busi- ness than the Almighty"
 He said the Liberal party in Colombia never would extend the concessions of the new Panama Canal Company. and if the United States should pay $4o.000.o0o for those concessions and the property, it might as well throw the money into the sea.
 He repudiated the idea that any Ameri- can could be deceived by any such foul and dirty scheme" He declared that there was never more mistaken piece of legislation" than the Spooner amend ment and referred to it as having been offered fin the name of the Senator from Wisconsin.
 MT. Spooner warmly resented the inti- laation that he was not the author of the amendment, and declared that he not only was the author, but that he devised it in every part. With certain amend ments, he proposed to insist on it's adop- tion.
 Fairbanks Has Amendment
 Mir. Fairbanks offered an amendment to the Spooner amendment authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow from time to time S13O0O0,O00 for the con- struction of the canal, bonds to be is- sued for the amount borrowed, to bear interest at per cent, payable in gold; the bonds to be disposed of at not less than par.
 MT. Morgan immediately criticized Mir. Fairbanks proposition. declaring that it
 
 ods being employed to delay the canal construction.
 With some heat MT. Fairbanks insisted that his amendment was perfectly req sonable and proper. He said that if the bill providing for canal by the Nica- ragua route were enacted, he would of- fer the same amendment to that. One of his principal objections to the Nicaragua canal bill was that it proposed to pay the expenses of construction from the current receipts of the government.
 Later MT. Morgan suggested that he was holding the Craftsmanship of the Oceanic Canal Committee as placebo thrown to the Democrats but MT. Hoar assured him that he did not hold the po- stion placebo but because the Re- publican side had regarded him as one of the greatest living Senators, and one of the greatest living authorities on one of the greatest questions.
 Mckinley and Grant.
 1T shall soon be one of the greatest dead ones" suggested MT. Morgan face tio"sly, unless the Republican side shall take up the question in the view of Will liam Mckinley, who was more responsi- ble for it than I am. or in that of Gen. eral Grant, who was more responsible still After MT. Morgan had proceeded until b:2n refusing curtly to yield the floor for other business. MT Hanna gave notice that he was obliged to leave the city this week to be absent until next Wednesday morning. when he would address the Senate on the bill that day at o'clock. Will the Senator occupy the floor until o'clock?" inquired MT Morgan.
 MT. Hanna replied that he did not know but that he might emulate the Senator from Alabama in that respect.
 'Well.' replied MT. Morgan. If the Senator occupied the floor until 6 o'clock, I shall take it then and speak until mid night. l am responsible for this bill, and have the right to close the debate"
 Mir. Hanna said he had no desire to prevent MT. Morgan from speaking and thought there would be no difficulty in affordng him time to reply
 A bill was passed to amend an act to prohibit the passage of the local laws in the territories and to limit the territorial indebtedness
