He maintained that the new company
mad no right to dispose of the rights and
property of the stockholders of the old com
pany, and, therefore, that no valid sale Of
tnat property could be made to the United
States.
In conclusion Mr.. Turner urged strongly
The construction of the isthmian canal saw
ng that 1t at once would relieve the Pacific
cast from the onerous burdens placed upon
by the trans-continental railroads which
iad become well nigh intolerable. Thus the
stlfted and cramped infant industries of the
PACING coast would obtain an outlet for
their products and would be relieved of the
grossly unjust discrimination to which
they now Were subjected by the railroads.
In addition to the advantages of the canal
10 the Pacific coast, he said the project
would promote national integrity and ma
| tfonal progress. He favored the House BILL
as he believed that it's enactment was the
only method by which an isthmian canal
could be constructed by the United States
Mr.. Morgan discussed the legal difficulties
of acquiring the Panama canal property
and declared that the United States could
not buy the property without acquiring the
membranes upon it.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Morgan's re-
marks bill was passed appropriating $15,-
$40 for the relief of the persons who st1s-
tanned damages by the explosion of an am
munition chest of Battery F. I'd United
States Artillery, in Chicago, July 49, 1894.
The House bill providing for the protec-
ton of the President was referred to the
Judiciary committee, although Mr. Hoar,
chairman of the committee, thought it
at this session if the committee had to con-
slider it.
Then, after brief executive session, the
Senate at $40 p. m. adjourned.

Mr.. Turner continued his speech on the
canal bill in the Senate yesterday afternoon

anna for ship canal. He presented at great
length the difficulties in which the United

quirements Of the rights. concessions and
property Of the Panama Canal. Company,
holding that 1t was manifest that this coun-
try could not get clear title to the property,
based as the sale would be, upon an ''insuf-

GEN. SMITHS CASE.
Secretary Root Will Await the Record
of the Waller Court Martial.

Secretary Root said last night that he had
not yet had time to consider the case of
Gen. ]. H. Smith. tried by court-martial at
Manila for alleged violations of the rules
of war in the conduct of the campaign in
Samar. He added that as the Smith case
was practically based upon the transactions
which led to the trial of Major L. w. T.
Waller of the Marine Corps by court-mar-
tial charged with the alleged unlawful kill
ing Of Filipino prisoners, he would await
the receipt of the record of that case be-
fore giving final consideration to the Smith
case. The record of the Waller court was
not forwarded by Gen. Chaffee, the review
ing authority. until after the record in the
Smith case was well on it's way to Wash
fngton for review by President Roosevelt
by whom that court was convened. The
Waller record is not expected to reach this
city for a week or SO.
1t Is said at the War Department that the
Waller case Is closed incident but that
the Smith case will not be legally closed
until 1t has been finally acted upon by the
President. The significance Of this state
ment Is that it Is still within the power Of
the President to return the case to the
court for reconsideration of the evidence
adduced. in case such a course should be
deemed expedient under the circumstances
1t Is contended that this could be done even
In the event that the officer was acquitted
by the court as the press dispatches from
Manila have Indicated was the case. The
court could not legally be compelled to
change its findings, however, against its
own judgment, and its adherence to a YER
dict of mot guilty would stand despite
the disapproval of the President, which in
that case would simply stand as a rebuke
to the court without affecting the legal
status Of the accused.
The usual routine of the army has been
waived in the Smith court martial. The
record of the court was sent direct to the
Secretary of War, as the representative
or the President, without passing through
the hands OF Gen. Chaffee, the judge adyo-
cate general and the lieutenant general
commanding, as is usual In such cases. The
record was addressed to the adjutant gen.
eral at Washington and was turned over to
the Secretary Of War by that officer with
out inspection further than to see what it
was 1t would. therefore, appear, that no
one but the members Of the court who are
sworn to secrecy. and the Secretary of war
have actual cogntzance Of the findings Of
the court.
