Senator Morgan, However, Says he
Must Now Take Up Nicaraugua Route.


Washington. Sept. 22.-When the
state department closed to-day it was
agreed that the Panama canal treaty
was dead, although eight hours vet re-
manned within which the Colombian
congress might take affirmative action
upon it. Nothing, however. had been
received during the day either from
Minister Beaupre at Bogota or from
Mr.. Herran, the Colombian charge here,
which gave the slightest hope Of a fav-
orable issue. A report is current mere
that the Colombia congress in secret
session has clothed President Marro-
quin with full power to negotiate a
treaty If this report should turn cut
to be true, President Marroquin, who is
counted a. friend Of the treaty. could
proceed untrammeled by the fear of flu
ture reckoning with his congress. In
anT event President Roosevelt must
now take the next STEP He can elect
to proceed with the Spooner act and
take up the Nicaragua route or he can
allow matters to drift for the present in
the hope that way may yet be found
to straighten out the present difficult
ties in the way Of the Panama route.
Montgomery. Ala, Sept. %. When
shown the Associated Prtss dispatch to-

at Washington had heard nothing from
Minister Beaupre concerning the Pana-

considered, United States Senator Nor

made the following statement:
The treaty has been dead for twen-
ty-five days. Nothing could have resur-
rected IL. The action at Bogota means
the building Of q canal by the Nicara-
qua route. President Roosevelt has
no discretionary powers, but it is made
mandatory upon him, It turned out ex-
actly as / expected 1t to do. It is the

Attendance.
Another largely attended public gas
hearing was held before the committee
on public lighting in city hall last even
ing. Like the first hearing, everybody
who spoke favored. either municipal
ownership or much lower rate for the
gas.
The first speaker was Anthony Car
roll. Mr.. Carroll started his talk by
reading a part Of the preamble of the
constitution of the state in reference to
individual and inalienable rights. He
then read the law In reference to fran
chises. He said he believed In the
greatest good to the greatest number OF
people. and whatever that was he ia
vored 1t. Continuing, he said: There
has been a great deal of talk in refer
ence to how much money the Gas COM
pany is making and how much money It
costs to produce the gas. 1t is none Of
your business how much 1t costs to
make 1t nor how much the profit on 1t
I Is, but it is the citys right to let out
the contracts and it is the citizens
fright to see that 1t Is wisely done. The
statement has been made here repeat
edly that the Gas company is watering
Tits stock to hesextent Of 100000 This
also is none Of your business. 1t is as
absurd to ask the Gas company to come
here and tell all its business, how much
money 1t is making, how much 1t costs
to make the gas, etc, as 1t would be to
ask Mr.. Trueman in reference to his
own personal business"
Charles Gay, the next speaker, said:
"It is a question to my mind whether
this IS the proper time to discuss this
matter. The prosecuting attorneys Of
flee is pretty we'll tied up with consid-
Grafton Of the investigation Of the brib-
cry cases in relation to the water con-
tract. If 1t becomes necessary for 1t to
handle this matter also it Is probable
that the department of Justice will be-
