Morgan Gives Them Some
Food for thought.
HE PLEADS FOR A CANAL
Powerful Interests Are Anay,d Pgains! il ard
If We Depend on the Panama Route
We May Get None
at All
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 20-After a session
of less than three hours, the Senate today
adjourned until January 5th next To-
days session was largely given up to an
address by Senator Morgan upon the
question of the construction of an 18TH
milan canal. The Senator declared that
it would be in the interest of the United
States to resume negotiations with Mic
aragua and Costa Rica with the view of
utilizing the Nicaraguan route for the
reason that, as he believed, if we should
continue to depend upon the Panama
route we should never have canal.
A number of bills were passed and a
conference report providing for the pay
ment of the expenses of the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission was agreed to.
Mr.. Morgan contended for the making
good of contracts entered into by Presi-
dent Mckinley with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. The negotiation CT these
contracts he characterized as a master
full act and said they We're about to be
trodden under foot
He then went on to express apprehen-
sion that if the United States did not
avail itself of the opportunity to build
a canal by the Nicaraguan route none
would be built Action at the present
Congress be considered important, be-
cause any person familiar with Congress
sional proceeds knew that a minority
could prevent action in the one session
only that must come after the present
before the expiration of the canal appro-
priation. Attention also was called to
the fact that under Colombian law only
the Congress of that country can ratify
q treaty. There had been no Congress
there since 1899 and there was not likely
TO be any soon unless the Panama Canal
Company should pay its expenses out
OF the $4,000, 900 on hand or the $4,000, 600
promised by the United States. He there
fore expressed apprehension that any
treaty that might be accepted by this
government would fail of action in
Colombia
Speaking of the possible failure of
ratification of a treaty with Colombia
and its possible effect upon treaties that
might afterward be sought with Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica, Mr. Morgan said:
81 am not imputing any lack of patriot
ism or any disposition to defeat all canal
enterprises to any one in these observa-
tions. l am only considering possibilities
that are obviously in view and endanger
the construction of a canal at either
of the localities provided by the act of
June %, 1902.
''Yet, all the world knows that power
full interests are opposing the opening
Of any canal through the American 18TH
mus and these combinations are relying
upon minority of the Senate to destroy
all efforts to construct such a canal

The German Decree.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Berlin, Dec. 20.-The German govern
ment today published a decree embody-
ing the terms of the blockade of Ger
manys portion of the Venezuelan coast
1t was as follows:
The government of Venezuela having
rejected the demand which the Imperial
Government communicated to it, the
ports of Porto Cabello and Maracaibo
are hereby declared under blockade be-
ginning December 90. Ships under other
than the Venezuelan flag. which sail from
the West Indies or other eastern Ameri-
can ports before the publication of this
decree will receive a period Of twenty
days for sailing vessels and ten days for
steamers to reach their destination
Sailing vessels from all other ports
are allowed forty and steamers twenty
days.
Ships under other than the Venezuelan
nag lying in blockaded ports upon the
publication of this decree are allowed
fifteen days to sail.
Snlps which attempt to break the
blockade. will be subject to the provi-
sions which apply to neutrals under in
ternational law and in accordance with
treaties

The President feels that a reference to

strengthen the cause of arbitration.
Still rather than see the present dis

the President will reluctantly assume
the duties of arbitrator. 1t is fully
realized that any decision rendered by
him in that capacity would be sure to
bring him the enmity of one or the other
of the parties to the controversy and
this fact was pointed out to the Presi-

London, Dec 20-The official declara-

was gazetted this morning and becomes
effective today.
The text of the proclamation is as fol-
lows:
Foreign Office. December 20, 1902.
"It is hereby notified that as the
United States of Venezuela have failed
to comply with the demands of his Ma
jesty's government a blockade by his
Majesty's naval forces of the ports of
La Guaira. Carenero, Guanta. Cumana
and Carupano, and the mouths of the
Orinoco is declared, and such blockade
will be effectively maintained from and
after the twentieth of December, sub
ject to the allowance of the following
days of grace:
"For vessels sailing before the date
of this notification from West Indian
ports and ports on the east coast of the
continent of America-ten days for
steamers and twenty days for sailing
vessels.
From all other ports-twenty days for
steamers and forty days for sailing yes
sells.
For vessels lying in the ports now
declared to be blockaded-fifteen days
vessels which attempt to violate the
blockade will render themselves liza
bility to all measures authorized by the
law of nations and by the respective
treaties between His Majesty and the
different neutral powers
The Foreign Office says the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast will not be re-
1axed until the powers enforcing their
claims agree on method for the arbi-
tration of their respective cases and
Venezuela shows a disposition to act
sincerely Stress is laid on the difficulty,
in view of the diversity of the claims in
deciding on method of presentation,
and on the prolixity of the negotiations
which will be involved before a settle
ment is in sight. 1t Is not definitely
decided whether separate cases can be
embodied in one document, should the
projected arbitration take definite shape.
