MORGAN PREDICTS WAR.
Senator Criticises President for His
Action in Panama Affair.

Senator Criticises President for His
. Action in Panama Affair.
A Washington special asy: Sena'
tor Morgan states that he will intro
duce a resolution at the extra session
of congress calling upon the foreign re-
lations committee of the senate to OBJ
tain from the state department de-
tailed report of the relations between
the United States and Colombia under
the treaty of 1916. According to Sena-
tor Morgan the. attitude of this coun-
try is not justified by careful con:
struction of the provisions of the trea,
: ty and is at variance with precedents
laid down by the United States. IN
discussing the situation, he said:
"This is the fourth time the U,ited
States has landed troops on the 18th,
mus under cloak of treaty. Heretofore
it has been for the suppression of riot.
, ing and for the protection of Colon
! bia. Now that it is against the wish
of Colombia it undoubtedly will pro-
: woke a just protest.
I. Colombia means to go to war. @Of
. that L am certain. This government
will find that it will have a series o.
complications on its hands not unlike
: that offered by the Indians when they
were met with the territorial aggres
sion Of this government, and the trou.
bile will be similar to that OF the Fill
pinos with the conduct of warfare
more difficult.
81 believe, however. the administra.
tion will not have this matter to de-
eide. It is a question for congress and
that body is not likely to shirk the re-
sponsibility."
Hay Makes Statement.
The secretary of state makes the
following statement in regard to af
fairs on the isthmus of Panama:
The action of the president in the
Panama matter is not only in the
strictest accordance with the princi
pies of justice and equity, and in line
with all the best precedcnts Of oul
public policy, but it was the only
course he could have taken in com
pliance with our treaty rights and OBJ
legations. BY our treaty, entered into
with New Granada in the year 1886
New Granada guarantees that the
right of way or transit across the 18th
mus of Panama upon any modes OF
communication that now exists, OF
that may hereafter be constructed
shall be free and open to the govern
ment and citizens of the Unted

of the Successful! Candidates.

Complete official returns in New
York city show that George B. Nc
Clellan, democrat, defeated Mayor
Seth Low, republican, for re election
by a plurality Of 63,617.
By the same returns Comptrollc:
Edward n. Grout and Charles +.
Fornes, president of the board Of al
dermen, running tor reelection on the
democratic ticket, though elected two
years ago as fusionists, defeated their
fusion opponents by $3.50 and 64,973
plurality respectively, Comptroller
Grout leading the city ticket.
McClellan's total vote for mayor was
314,906, to 251,259 for Low.
William $. Devery, Independent can
didate for mayor, polled only 1885
votes in the entire city, getting 2,67l
Of these in Manhattan and the Bronx,
266 in Brooklyn, 80 in Queens aad
none in Richmond.
In Baltimore the e.>:ire Maryland
state democratic ticket, comprising
Edwin Warfeld, of Howard county,
governor; Gordon T. Atkinson, Of
Somerset county, comptroller, and Will
liam Shepard Bryan, or, OF Baltimore
city, attorney general, was elected by
about 5000 plurality.
The democrats elected in Baltimore
city three state senators and eighteen
members Of the house Of delegates by
large msjorities The republicans elect
ed one state senator and six members
of the house Of delegates.
The returns indicate an overwhe:m-
ing democratic majority on Joint bal
lot in the general assembly, which
| will elect successor to United States
| Senator McComas. It is conceded
that the democrats will have on joint
ballot 80 votes in the general assem-
bly, to Al republicans. Warfield's plu
rality in the state will probably reach
5000.
In Rhode Island the democrats sue
ceeded in re-electing Governor l.. F. c.
Garvin, although by reduced plural
ity, but the other state officers went
to the republicans, and that party will
also have a working majority in the
legislature.
The republican plurality in Ohio Is
about 115;000 for governor, and the
majority in the legislature on john
ballot for senator is ninety-three.
With the exception of the falling OF
of the socialist vote, the election il
Massachusetts very nearly paraleles
that of last year. Governor Bates wa:
tre-elected by the republicans by
Eplurality OF 35.S99 over Colonel Gas
ton, in total vote only slightly under
that of 1902, when Bates won by 37,l2i
! plurality.
Sufficient returns have been receiv

Barnes has been elected as the jus
tice Of the supreme court by from
1000 to 1000, and the balance of tn
republican state ticket by about 14,O0O
In Kentucky the assertion seem
warranted that Governor Beckham:
final and official majority will be no
less than $4,000. This is the iarges
majority given a democratic gubern1
torial candidate in fifteen years.

CANAL RIGHTS ASSURED
President Roosevelt is in Hearty Sym
pathy With the Rebellion and
Will Approve New
Government.

Ile 1SIQmldu Cdlal Will oS ooAAs
by the United States and built at
Panama" is the significant declaration
with great positiveness by high ad'
ministration official in washington
Thursday afternoon.
Coming from such a source, this IS
taken as notice to those in congress
and out Of it, who seek to take adVan-
tage of the present complications to
revive agitation in favor Of the Mica.
ragua route that President Roosevelt
has NO intention Of allowing him
self to be swerved from his determlna'
ton in favor OF the Panama route. It
also means that the United States gov
ernment proposes to have peace on
the isthmus even at the cost OF lend
ing its moral and actual support TO the
newly declared republic of Panama.
To the representatives Of other gov
ernments who called upon Secretary
Hay Thursday to inquire concerning
the attitude Of this government, this
was made clear.
Roosevelt Favors Revolution.
There can be no doubt that the
whole force Of this administration is
favorable to the revolution and the
new republic which the revolutionists
claim to have established. The posi-
, ton of this government. is that the
general good warrants sovereign meth
| DDS being employed. A high official
of the state department state1
that so far as the present outlook
goes. the only possible solution in
sight are these:
1.-The Colombian government may
make terms with the revolutionary
party, which could only mean that the
! independence of the provinces OF
Panama and Cauca would be 7recos-
nized by Colombia.
I 2-The United States may reeog-
nize. the independence Of the isthmus.
.3-The United States may deter
mine that the situation requires that
lit establish Ssovereignty over the entire
Isthmus Of Panama.
It will be seen that all Of these con-
! ditions lead to the same thing-the
establishment of an independent gov.
ernment on the isthmus with which
the United States can deal in its canal
negotiations without further dealings
with the Bogota authorities.
The Associated Press is enabled to
state that this government will con
! duct affairs with firm hand in the
exploitation Of. the treaty6of 1896 or:
ders have been sent to the various na'
val commanders in the Caribbean that
the isthmus is to be policed. the tran
! sit kept open and also that ~bloodshed
must be prevented at any cost. This
is further than the United States ever
! has gone heretofore, and in the opia
! ion of the officials in Washington indi'
4 Gates that the establishment, Of the
new government at Panama, F 1t
proves stable and orderly, will have
the good wishes Of the United States
and our ultimate recognition and CO.
operation in conducting an orderly and
permanent government on the 18TH
mus. Advocates Of the constructor
of the Panama canal say this Assures
the exploitation of that project.
