Mckinley Fa0ored Nicaragua.

Washington. Nov. 24-The Panama. Canal
question was again the leading topic under con-
siders ton by the Senate to-day, and Senator
Morgan was again the speaker OF the day. He
continued his review Of the history Of the efforts

~ the Presidents ambition 70 secure the honor
Of q unique administration must be credited the
favoritism manifested by him toward the Pan
ana route He asserted that President Nc
Kinley had favored the Nicaragua lire, and this
statement was challenged by Mr.. Hanna who
faid he had personal knowledge that Mr.. Nc
KinIey had urged the most careful investigation
after he had learned that the Panama Canal
property was available.
Mr. Hanna challenged the statement Of Nj.
Morgan that President Mckinley had been IA
xorable to the Nicaragua route
y know OF my own personal knowledge. he
cid. that when in 1899 il became known tbs
Panama company's property could be purchased
he gave the question serious consideration and
investigation and at his instance provision was
made in the River and HarbOr bill for an ap-
preparation Of 100000 for the Investigation OF

~ his interest IN the Panama proposition
know Of my own personal knowledge. President
Mckinley had decided to follow the recommend
afion OF his commission. and that is what the
present Executive is doing. SO there has been
no change in policy
Mr. Morgan replied that he had spoken only

and not from knowledge Of his private views.
I know" he said. that he entered into COM
pacts with Nicaragua ana Costa Rica TO secure
the Nicaragua route. and there is no record to
show that he changed his mind
Mr.. Hanna-it IS incorrect to say that Mr..
