PANAMA CANAL TREATY
is UNDER DISCUSSION


WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
Without the transaction of any bus
mess in open session the senate to-
day, went into executive session.
Previous to the closing of the doors
the Official stenOgraphers and all the
employees of the official reporters Of
flee, were sworn into secrecy and
when the doors were closed one of
the reporters was invited into the
chamber to make a detailed report
of the proceedings with the under
standing that it should be published
after the vote on Tuesday next. Sen
ator SpoOner began his speech on the
Panama canal treaty, in reply to Sen
atOr Morgan, as soon as the doors
were closed. Departing somewhat
from the usual directness. SpoOner in
troduced his remarks with a series
of complimentary illusions to Sen
ator Morgan, in which he touched up
on Mr. Morgan's great familiarties
with all questions pertaining to an
interoceanic canal, as we'll as his
genrally acknowledged interest in
that subject. He spoke of the magni-
tude of the work in constructing a
canal across the ishmus in which he
expressed he opinion that the United
States would soon enter upon, and
with which he said he believed, the
approval of vast majority of the peo-
pie of United States. Much of his
speech was legal in its character and
was devoted to sustaining the point of
view presented by Attorney General
Knox. in his report upon the title
which the Panama canal company is
capable of making to the canal prop
erty and franchise. He expressed the
view that there could be no doubt that
this cObpany hsa come legitimately
into possession Of the canal conces-
sion, and he said that having SO ac-
quired the property, it has an un-
doubted right to transfer it in turn to
the United States or another purchas-
