Washington. June Io.-Whcn the senate
convened today it was with the intention
Of beginning the voting on the Isthmian
canal question at 2 o'clock
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont was relieved
from service as one of the senate con-
ferces on the military academy appro-
priation bill, and Mr.. Burrows Of Michi-
gan was named in his stead.
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama presented the
following letter he had received from Sec
retary of State Hay, concerning the point
raised in the canal debate by Mr.. kittredgc
Of South Dakota:
II am requested by the minister Of Costa
Rica to inform the committee on inter
oceanic canals that he has been instructed
by his government to make known to the
senate of the United States that the gov
ernmcnt OF Costa Rica is prepared to take
all necessary steps to put themselves in
position to negotiate with the government
OF the United States for concessions for
the Isthmian canal, on terms substantially
as proposed by the government Of the
United States
The communication was laid ON the
table.
The conference report on the bill to pre-.
vent the false branding or labelling of food
or dairy products was agreed to.
Senator Clark Speaks.
Consideration of the Isthniian canal
question was resumed and Mr. Spooner
offered formally his amendment as a sub.
sttute for the pending so-called Hepburn
Nicaragua canal bill.
Mr.. Clark of Montana then addressed the
senate in support of the Nicaragua canal
route. He thought that if one half the
objections to both the Nicaragua and
Panama routes were valid neither route
should be adopted. However. he was
satisfied the concensus of conservative
opinion in this country was that a great
isthmian waterway should be constructed.
The American people, he said, were nos
to be deserted. You may delay the
project said he, but you cannot defeat
it."
The difficulties Of constructing the canal,
he believed, were exaggerated. lie
thought the Nicaragua route was more TO
be preferred as it was, in his opinion,
more feasible and practicable than the
Panama route.
Mr.. Clark, declared that the Panama
scheme was hoodoo which ought to be
Stunned and avoided. He said the Panama

canal plea had left heritage Of ruin,
disaster and dcsolaiion.
MIR. Allison explained why he should
vote for the Spooncr substitute. He be
lieyed there was general desire amor,g
the American people for an isthmian canal
and the people desired, too, that the
United States government should con
struct and control the canal.
Close Of Debate.
!r. Morgan. chairman of the inter-
of-anic canal committee, at the conclusion
Of Mr.. Allison's remarks, began his speech
closing the debate.
lie said tho canal issue seemed to have
come down to q single point-that OF
tinancs. On that point he deferred to Mr..
Allison, but he did not believe with him
that it would be necessary to issue bonds
to pay for the construction OF canal.
Mr.. Morgan particularly denounced the
Panama canal route as a place where
labor and death join hands"
He said he had been trying to pro-
tect the United States from the shame of
intercourse with il. Those who wanted
10 touch that thing might do so. He
would not do it, he declared, for both
canals.
{ Mr.. Morgan urged congress to deter
mime the question Of route and not coward
ly refer the matter TO the president.
\ in conclusion he said: Just one word
lin parting with this question. This duty
was assigned to me by the senate and
was not sought by me. II we are to be
9heaten here today and America is to be
,disgraced, ! shall have had the honor and
,,he American people will give it to me,
after am dead, or having devoted honest
1iy and sincerely the best years of my life
10 the success Of our project"
h AT 2 p. III. debate on the canal question
was closed by previous agreement. The
SSpooner amendment as perfected was
.srcad.
The first yea and nay vote was upon an
offered by Mr.. Bacon to the
= Spooncr amendment announcing commit
,ee to have charge Of the preliminary work
OF the canal. 1t was in no way a test
vote. 1t was adopted, IS to ~.
Z The first actual test vote OH the lsthmian
proposition was on an amendment by Mr..
4 Mitchell of Oregon, giving to the presi-
dent the choice of routes even IL he could
secure title for the Panama route. 1t was

chairman OF the committee on Cuban re-
lations, today was an early caller at the
White house where he had conference
with the president on the subject of the
probable fate OF the Cuban reciprocity
measure in the house.
He declined to make any statement con-
cerning the presidents views as expressed
to him, but said, speaking entirely for
himself he would force the senators who
are holding out against reciprocity to cast
their votes either with or against the party.
There is not a beet sugar state" said
the senator, where, If the question was
before republican convention, reciprocity
would not be indorscd.
Where lot of men are setting them
selves up in opposition to their party they
should be forced to go OH record by their
vote"
Nebraska and Senators.
Senator Millard of Nebraska, who op-
posed the reciprocity plan, was present dur
ing part of the conference and the presi-
dent remarked to him that Nebraska had
indorsed his (the president's) course, and
turned down her own senators.
To number Of callers today the presl-
dent stated that he finds sufficient in
dorsement of his stand on the Cuban
question in the action of the conventions
recently held in South Dakota, Kansas
and Nebraska.
To personal friend he said today he
felt particularly grateful to Congressman
Burkett of Nebraska and Martin of South
Dakota for their attitude i'll their conven-
tions; also that he took pride in the IN
dorsements from the three states above
named, because he was peculiarly well
known to those.
1t is known the president would ne
gotiate with Cuba providing he had the
assurance of so senators that they would
vote for it. but he does not want to try
this expedient without a guarantee before
hand that it would carry.
