CANAL PROJECT MAY FAIL.
Senator Morgan Says Title to Panama
Route Is Insecure.

Washington, Dec. 23.--There we're
20 senators in their seats when the
Senate was called to order for the
final session before the Christmas
holidays. They heard vigorous ad
dress by Morgan on the isthmian
canal negotiations.
Morgan contended for the making
good of contracts entered into by
President Mckinley with Costa Rica
and Nicaragua. The negotiation of
these agreements he characterized as
masterful act, and said they were
about to be trodden under foot. Why
this was true was not a question for
Democrat to solve. but he could at
any rate, say he did not agree with
the mind-readers and spirit mediums
who had since declared that Mr.. Nc
Kinley did not mean what he said In
the contracts.
He then went on to express appre-
hension that if the United States did
not avail itself of the opportunity to
build a canal by the Nicaraguan
route. none would be built, and he
said the appropriation of $3.50, 100000
for the construction of the canal could
be covered into the Treasury about
June 2S, 1904, if not used before that
time.
Attention was called to the fact
that under the Colombian law, only
the Congress of that country can rat
ify a treaty. There had been no Con-
gress there since 1S99 and there was
not likely to be any unless the Pana-
ma Canal Company should pay its ex-
penses out of the $3,OO0,000 on hand
or the S4O,000,000 promised by the
United States. He therefore ex.
pressed apprehension that a treaty
that might be accepted by this gov
ernment would fail of action in Co
lombia.
After quoting from the concession
granted to the liquidations of the old
Panama Canal Company, which Mr.
Morgan said was also made a law of
Colombia, he said.
1T is a surprise to jurists and lay.
men alike in our country that the At
torney General, in his opinion given
to the President on the right and
power Of the new Panama Canal
Company to revoke a title to the
United States of its property in Pan
ANA, omitted to notice the prohibit
ton in the concessions and in the
laws of Colombia, through which it
derived all its property rights in Co
lombia."

MAY NOT ACCEPT
ROOSEVELT DOES NOT WANT TO ACT
AS VENEZUELAN ARBITRATOR.
Thinks That The Hague Tribunal Is the
Proper Court to Decide the Matter =
Should Allies Insist, He May Accept,
Although lie Realizes the Difficulties
OF the Undertaking.

Washington, Dec. 24.--President
Roosevelt has not accepted the position
OF arbitrator Of the Venezuelan con-
troversy. In fact, when the official
day closed he had not received formal
ly or officially request from the Euro
pean powers that he act as arbitrator
of the dispute. These statements
were made on the highest authority.
In an informal manner the president
has been notified that the European
powers intimately concerned in the
present South American difficulty de-
sire that he should undertake the re-
sponsibilty of acting as arbitrator of the
points at issue between them and Vene-
zuela. Thus far they merely have
been taking soundings," with view,
probably, of ascertaining how he would
receive formal proffer to act as arbi-
traitor. The president, as soon as he
received the first intimation that he
was desired to be arbitrator OF the Ven
ezuelan controversy, expressed emphat-
ically his judgment that the matters to
be arbitrated should be referred to The
Hague tribunal. His views of the sug-
gestions made have been conveyed tc
the European powers, together with
strong presentation OF his reasons for
the view he holds. No response of
formal nature to these representations
has been received.
The president and Secretary Hay had
a long conference today after the for
mer's return from his Virginia trip.
They carefully went over the situation
as it had developed since Saturday, but
it is understood that nothing has arisen
during the past hours to warrant the
president in changing his opinion as to
the undesirability of his acceptance OF
the position OF arbitrator. So far as
can be learned, no specific reasons have
been advanced by the European powers
for objecting to the arbitration of The
Hague tribunal. 1t is held by the adj
ministration that the tribunal at The
Hague was constituted to arbitrats just
such controversies as that which has
arisen between Venezuela and the
powers, and that it would be desirable
from this viewpoint that the dispute
should go to that tribunal for adjudi-
cation.
How strong are the objections which
the allied powers have to a reference OF
the Venezuelan difficulty to The Hague
tribunal is not known to the admins
tration at this time. Even the nature
of the objections, if there be any, is
not known. The negotiations looking
to the selection of an arbitrator have
not progressed sufficiently yet to de-
velop such objections as the powers
may have.
