Morgan willing to Wait.

Senator Morgan appeared TO question Sem
ator IIanna's veracity, and this did not add
to harmony in the committee. Senator
Morgan said that he would be willing to
wait until the committee could ascertain
whether the President had requested Ad-
miral Walker to reconvene the Canal Com
mission.
Senator Hanna said that he intended to
treat this whole proposition as a great big
matter of business. He was in favor of an
isthmian canal. He was not ready to say
that he was opposed to Nicaragua nor
that he would favor Panama. What he
wanted was careful consideration of this
question in view of the offer of the French
company to sell for s40.00o, ,000 which, if ac-
cepted might give the country n much bet
ter canal and certainly cheaper one in
construction and maintenance.
He was sorry to see a disposition on the
Fart of the gentlemen committed to one

trying to dispose of the Panama Canal as
swindlers. and also a disposition to hurry
the matter, even before the Presidents
