Alabamian Declares That He is Not Taking the Advice of French man Interested in the

Washington, Nov. 9.-M. Philippe Buc- ma Varlla, the envoy of the new Repub- lie of Panama, today sent the following letter to Senator Morgan of Alabama: Republic of Panama, Nov. 9, 1906. Hon. John T. Morgan, United States Sen ator. Washington: MT. Senator-As a champion of the com pletion of ain interoceanic canal across the American isthmus, as the Minister Plen- ipotentiary of the new Republic, the life of which has sprung from an explosion of the ardent desires of turning into re- ality this dream of the century, 1 feel myself bound to express to you my ad- miration for the display of indomitable will you have shown in the service of this noble conception.
 The fact that We have fought. both with all the energies of our souls. for common ideal Is not lessened by the minor fact of having defended different solutions.
 If have not been on the same side as you, allow me, MT. Senator to say that 1t is simply because I entered the field of active life about one-third of cen tury after you.
 The solution which was the better one fifty years ago when there was scarcely any ship drawing more than seventeen feet of water. has gradually seen it's su-
 
 a deep inferiority according 10 the con stant Increase of the draft and of the length of ships.
 These gradual and scarcely notIcea ble changes in the technical necessities of the waterway are accountable for the differ ences of opinion between you, the chani- pion of the solution of the middle of the nineteenth century and the champions of the solution of the beginning of the twen- tieth.
 Now. MT. Senator, I come to you and fully entreat you to take the high place which is due to the honored veteran of the noblest fight that ever took place for the progress of the world and the wei fare of mankind.
 beg you not to throw away the title which the thankfulness of humanity owes to you, that of the father of the isthmian canal; I beg you to take the laurels of victory which is yours by accepting

 Undeniably, the Republican opponents of
 President Roosevelt in Alabama have been busy. They are the Lily Whites or pure white wing of the party. They are clamoring. for Hanna delegation to the National Convention. Some of them are

 The conference may decide to recom-
