CANAL TREATY REPORTED.
Democratic Senators Begin Their Fight
 AgainstIt.

Washington, Jan. 1S-While the Pan- anna canal question has been before the Senate on general principles during the greater part of the present session, the Panama canal treaty was not re- ported until to-day. It had no sooner been reported favorably to the Senate in executive session than it became the subject of heated controversy.
 Senator Cullom made the report in fa- vir oe the treaty, whereupon Senator Morgan as a member of the committee at once entered formal protest against the acceptance of the report on the ground that when the committee
 decided to report the treaty an amend ment was still under consideration, and that he had not had time to pre- sent an amendment looking to the striking out of article p of the treaty in which Panama renounces her right to participation in the earnings of the
 canal when built.
 Senator Morgan supported his writ
 ten statement with brief speech and
 was immediately followed by Senator Daniel with a resolution declaring against the policy of reporting any treaty or bill until each member shall have offered any amendments he may;
 desire to present.
 Senator Daniel declared that the course of the committee had been both precipitate and unfair, and urged that the treaty should be recommitted for further consideration.
 No action was taken on Senator Dan iePs resolution or Senator Morgan S
 protest, but before the senate adjourn ed Senator Cullom gave notice that he would ask the senate to take up the treaty tomorrow or Wednesday, and,
 until disposed of, to consider it from day to day, to the exclusion of other business.

Right of Bank Shareholders or Di-
 rectors to Assess stock.


 washington. Jan. 18.-The United States supreme court rendered an opin- ion to-day to the effect that the share holders and not the directors of a bank shall decide whether an assessment on stock shall be made when the comp troller of the currency gives notice that the capital stock is impaired. The case grew out of the proceeding of Henry Weinhard and George H. Williams vs. the Commercial National bank of Port land. Ore. whose stock was sold for failure to pay an assessment of 50 per cent. levied by the directors on demand of Comptroller Eckels in 1896. Justice Day said that the shareholders and not the directors must decide whether a bank shall made the increase demanded or suspend operations.
 "In this case" he concluded, sthe as sessment was made by the directors without action by the shareholders and not being within the statute was void"
