MALIGNING J.T. MORGAN
NEW YORK SUN AssAILs THE
 ALABAlGA SENATOR.
Senator Quay Comes Under the Rod of the Money Power-Little Chance for Ratification
 of Treaties.

Washington. Jan. M.--Cspecial) )-The wrath of King Ptsrpont's Barons of the Moneybass l. today well divided between of those who are lighting the Statehood bill and those hghting against any possi- ble Isthnian Canal by advocating the Colombian Panama Canal treaty are iden- ticai individuals tarred by the same Pierpont stick. The Etatenood Senators are for the Cuban treaty.
 Tho wordy war Of thosa who ara sheId- ing up the Senate agaiarst Senator auay grows in bitterpass. although the miner- tty warriors upon the occasion of Hing Pierpont,s visit to the Capital. are taking time to flercely assail the Alabama Sem ator because he will not be cajoled or browbeatcn into assenting to the canal treaty.
 The New York Sun, today fin . char acteristically vindictive editorial, likens the Alabamian to Casabianca, and af- ter saying that there will be little mourning for the lost Nicaragua Canal when the inauguration of work on the Panama isthmus is celebrated with. sil- yer or golden spade"
 The Sun proceeds with this ill-mannered and unjust fling: But the Hon. John T.. 0HOI&dh 0L <AlduaAiup ot4Akao SOs oA eito deck, whence all but he have lied. Un- daunted and alone amid the flames of his theories and hopes. he Is ready to demonstrate. to the full limit of his lung power, that the Colombian government has no legal right to conclude such . treaty with us.
 There Is something pathetic in the spectacle afforded by this verbose old boy on the burning deck. There would be something heroic in his attitude if he had always been as consistent as he is now persistent"
 The Sun then quotes Senator Morgan as having said last June: ''If it (the ca- nab could not be by Nicaragua, gladly accept the Panama" and it asks the irn- pertinent question. 'If Senator Morgan was honest then. what are we to think of his final and hopeless efforts at ob- 
 The Sun perversely and with apparent dishonesty ignores and seeks to blind the public to the plain fact that Senator Morgan is not fighting the Panama Ca- nal, but is working for the proper amend ment, or defeat if not amended, of a treaty that is at once . job and q degra- dation upon the American people, an fn- strument of political and executive in- which he believes to have been illegally drawn and the baleful provi- sions of which he could not have fore seen six months before it had been writ ten.
 Yet The Suns methods are characteris- tic of the attacks being made upon Sen- ator Morgan by the Panama Canal con- splrators against the building of any ca nal whatsoever.
 For this reason The Sun is quoted, since 1t is the representative Wall Street organ
 There is no doubt here that Senator Morgan is in the fight to stay.
 The President has been informed that the treaty is in grave danger. Indeed, it is plain that both the Panama and the Cuban treaties must fail of confirmation this session. and from this viewpoint an
 ra session of the Senate is inevitable, with an e4tra session of the Congress in prospect.
 Congressman Tawney, whose informa- ton is perhaps the best obtainabie, as- sures The Advertiser that the Cuban treaty cannot pass this session, and he insists that if 1t be ratlfied in extra ses- sion 1t must remain imperative until the House shall initiats legislation to carry It into effect. Others say tonight that the treaty will be ratified before adjourn ment.
 It is reiterated that Senator Quay will not give up his struggle for Statehood. the secret of the bitter opposition to which is the money power of King Pier pont which foresees that the addition of six members to the Senate would give the people a better chance to some day come by their own. The President and his minority Beveridgeians are equally determined that the Statehood bill shall not pass.
 Senator Pritchard of North Carolina, ex- alted ruler of the lily whites. who preach ed the doctrine to the famous Birming- ham convention last September, appeared at the White House today with one D. I. GIlmer, a negro of Greensboro, N. C., whom the Senator presented to the Presi- dent with the request that he be appoint sd an army officer and assigned to scout duty in the Philippines. where he formerly ,erveds as captain in the 49th Volunteers The President was 'dee-hghted'' and oads Pxitchard take the negro to Root.
