an observation made by Senator Cullom
that Mr.. Morgan was evidently speaking
with the Intention to delay ana deIeat the

Tone suggested that as q full hearing haa
been given to all who cared to speak on
the treaty, an agreement should be reached
for vote before the session expires. Mr.

Mr., Cullom remarked that Mr.. Morgan
would be known as the father OF the
Icanal and that his fame was not only ma
tional but international on account of his

by defeating the treaty

This remark also caused a sensation,
fMr. Morgan went on Ito say that the SEN

ratifying the treaty. He declared that the
new Panama company had gang OF lob
bvists both here and in Colombia and that

eminent and secure the ratification Of the
treaty in order to get their hands upon the
$40, 5000 900 to be paid for the concession.
