Washington, July 30.-(Special )-Sena-
tor Morgan's dream of Nicaragua Ca
nal may yet be realized. While the adj
ministration supporters profess conf
dence that the negotiations for securing
control OF the Panama strip will be sue
cessful and that the canal will be built
on that route, the fact is evident that
parent to the belief Is in the wish. Re-
cent developments IN the situation in Co.
lombia have been such that there is but
little prospect that any early settlement
of the necessary treaty obligations with
Colombia may be made.
General Gabriel Santos, leader of the
Colombian Liberals. who are conducting
the war against the Government, has re-
jected the peace proposals presented
through DR.. Concha, the Colombian min
lister at Washington, and has declared
that the Liberals have men, arms and
money sufficient to prolong the insurrec-
ton for another thirty months at least
The instruction has been in progress for
thirty months and there has been no ses-
sion of the Colombian Congress in that
time. General Santos declares that there
will be- no session of the Congress for
another thirty months, unless the Gov
eminent will make better terms to the
insurgents. Minister Concha insists that
q settlement of the differences between
the Government and the insurgents will
be reached but he admits that the con-
ditions are just now very serious.
Negotiation With France.
The negotiations between this Govern
ment and France are progressing rapidly
and there is every belief that there will
be no difficulty in securing a perfect title
to the property of the French Panama
Canal Company. This is an important
essential, but the condition precedent Is
the ratification by Colombia Of the trea-
ty granting to the United States absolute
control and sovereignty over the canal
strip. 1t is generally conceded here that
President Roosevelt will not wait any
thirty months for the Colombian Govern
ment to act in the matter, without any
certainty that favorable Iction will be
taken at that time.
So strong Is the feeling that it will be
the treaty by Colombia, In time to serve
the purpose of this Government that
the friends of the Nicaragua route are
already bringing pressure to bear upon
the administration to open negotiations
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica, to have
the negotiations under way and in sha pc
for speedy settlement should the Colom-
bian negotiations fail,

Republicans are Scared.

While the Republican leaders are APP
psrently unanimous in ridiculing Demo-
cratic demands for the revision of the
tariff. the fact remains that the admin
istration managers are very badly scared
over the growing sentiment in the Re-
publican ranks for legislation looking to
reduction of trust products. 1t was only
after a great deal of pressure had been
brought to bear upon Congressman Bah
cock that the Wisconsin Republican con-
vention decided to ignore the protested
demands of Mr. Babcock and his friends
for a plank in the platform urging tariff
revision. This administration victory
promises. however. to be very short lived.
The turn down of Senator Spooner and
the triumph of Governor Lafolette is
recognized only as a stay Of proceedings.
Congressman Babcock wants to come to
United States Senate and so does Cover
nor Lafollette. The coming campaign in
Wisconsin will be conducted on State Is.
