PRESIDENTIAL UsURPATIoN,
Mr. Morgan took occasion TO refer
frequently TO the Panama canal treaty
and IN that connection again freely
hsf Ia. a a
Dental usurpetlon." lie declared that
the United states Is becoming affected
10 the core with coyetOusness. and he
said the country seemed be quiv-
erlng with doubt as to Iether ii
should go over entirely on pursue the
better course followed by our national
fathers. SO far as he was conperr ed he
would not be so mean as to yield TO Il
temptation simply TO advance the COM
merca interests of his state. He as
serted that the United States would do
as Il might please with the island OF
Cuba, and added 'She Is now fet-
tered 10 the decks OF our warships az
firmly as Prof Langley's airshp was
ever attached to his house boat
NO RIGHT TO APPOINT MINISTER.
He spoke Of the negotiation OF the
Panama canal treaty as a grotesque
s1t and declared that Panama had
mo more right TO appoint a minister
to the United states than that country
had TO COnsecrate a saint"
he came the senator continued,
as a swift-wlnged messenger of false
hood dispatched on his mission by the
Panama Canal company"
SO far as the concession made TO
Cuba In this bill is concerned, he said
ltwould not be regarded by the Cubans
10 anything but A serious light, what
ever the result may be. "rhe Cubans
win not he said regard Il as lu-
dcrous act In a French vaudeville, but
wllrTC0pt 1t seriously"
CUBA SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
Mr. Morgan said that Cuba would do
well to give careful heed TO our pur-
poses In the legislation under consid-
Grafton. They should not follow the
Old adage not to look n gift horse in
NE mouth, for in this case the gift
horse is a broncho which greets them
with Whitney and may send them
away with a kick,
Returning to the Panama situation,
w. Morgan said that the United states
l. practically at wac with Colombia,
a the result of the fact that the pres
hent mad fallen into a trap. He want
"a he said, to save the senate from
hs same trap, and again referred TO
NJ Bunau- Varila, the Panama minis
'er and after reviewing briefly that
senueman's history as ar engineer ana
contractor on the Panama canal said
mat he had contracted wisely aud

WARNS THE SENATE.
Mr. Morgan said that his whole pur-
Wse Was 10 warn the senate against
nufylng a treaty the negotiation of
which he characterized as most
vreehed, a most abomlnable and a
most horrible transaction" Notwith-
Nlllng this was the case the senator
wlunued, the senate sleeps over this
atsch OF tho Monroe doctrine, while
We president Of France and the presl-
Wut OF the United States stand over
Wy incumbent figure and intone In unl-
wv 'helr solemn and satisfied amen
ne expressed the opinion that the
wy ot me Panama canal In IDS early
