leading topic under consideration by the
Senate to-day. and MIR. Morgan was
again the speaker of the day. He con-
{tinued hls review Of the history Of the
efforts to secure an lsthmian Canal and
declared that to the Presidents amhi-
tion to secure the credit of g. unique adj
ministra ton must. be credited the favor
itism manifested by him toward the Pan

Tho question of committee, assignments
was again postponed. as was also the
motion to reconsiderfthe vote ion the New

nexation@ of Cuba. AS to Panama, Sena-
tor Morgan SAID an elaborate treaty had
been prepared, nefcom mission sent here
al. then sent back again to create a
government & with power to n ratlfy NJ a
treaty. I4e charged that rtie treaty with
Colombia had fbesifss y drasSii largely by a

favorable to the Panama route, SMr. Nor
gan !chara cterized that report as" the
dynamite that has rent In twain the re-
public of Colombia. He said further.
that the report was desperate iadyen-
ture. He declared that If Mckinley had.
lived the protocols with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica would have been observed.
aG',But# he. Il Is 4 dead, - the Senator went
on, .'and now Richmond comes on the
field, n and he seems not to feel the OBJ
legation off, good faith when more en-
ticing field for unique administration
breaks upon the vision Of his ambitious
spirit"
HIS AMBITION.
He declared that It was President
Rosevelt's am .,tion Ia have all the glory
Of constructing the canal for his own
administration. HAS the President, he
asked. ANY excuse for his failure 70 car
~ Into effect the agreement VIA Nicd-
ragua and Costa Rca unless 1t be re-
sentiment towards Colombia and gratiti-
cation OF personal ambition. which the
law deprives him of the turlner power
to Indulge? Whatever the incentive he
will fail to carry the people with him In
his wild and inexcusable raid. No plea
Of "reasons OF state would DO accent
able. for reasons Of state are out OF
nlace In a republic, and are regarded
only as the plea nf a tyrant. In nban-
6oning the Mckinley policy, Mr.. Morgan
declared that the President had destroy
cd the rights already acquired at much
expense Of time and effort.
He declared that Colombia had levied
tlackmail to the extent OF s. 100000, and
that, acting under the instructions of the
President the Secretary Of State had en-
tered into an agreement that might make
/. possib1a to collect on the levy. Only
the eaeerness or the ambition Of the
President could. he said. have supplied
tha fulcrum for this transaction.
SAT DOWN TO CONTINUE.
After having spoken for two hours Mr.
Morgan requested the privilege OF taking
his seat. whio he continued his delivery.
The re was no objection, and ths venera-
BILE Senator sat down, remarking under
his breath as he cid so: MY old llmos
are Getting as shaky under me as the
