Senator Morgan on Panama Question.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is at
fording his fellow members fine
opportunity to sleep in the cloak
rooms while he drones along by the
hour in what he calls an arraignment
of the administration on the Panama
canal treaty.
The treaty is not publicly before the
Senate, but the rules of that body
permit talk ad iibitum on any matter
that happens to come into the head
of the talker.
Senator Morgan takes radical
ground: That there is no republic OF
Panama; that this country has no
right to foster or encourage the pre-
posterous notion; that the whole
scheme is a conspiracy for the plum
der of Colombia, with which We are
at peace; that the French canal COM
pany, which has lost half a billion OF
dollars, has still vitality enough 10
make an lIuUl6usS IOW W ouk SACas
expense and detriment; that we shall
hear in few days that his prophecy
has come true; that Colombia could
reclaim its own and "wipe out the
adventures and spectators, Indians
negroes, and Cinnamon who now con-
stitute Panama in about one day
without interfering with the tracffi OF
the isthmus If Mr.. Roosevelt woult
keep his hands of; &c., &c.
There is shadow of support fol
this, for it is announced that Colon
bia has appealed to the French court
for an injunction to prevent thu
transfer of the Panama canal com
pany's rights on the isthmus t.
the American government withou
the consent of Colombia, and thu
report causes ruffiing of the waters

Club Notes.

Mrs. Hills gave very interesting
analysis of the character of Lafayette
and history of the time which in
cluded conditions in the United States,
France, Austria and Russia. She
had made an exhaustive study of the
character of this magnificent French
man. to whom America is under a
heavy debt of gratitude Hist devO-
ton and his financial assistance came
at time when the cause of American
independence seemed to hang in the
balance. He might have been King
of France, but he believed in democ-
racy instead of monarchy. Lafayette
was one of the few men whose life was
governed alone by principle, and even
the lime-light of history fails to re-
veal any low or mean motive in his
life. which was one of action.
The club met at the pretty home of
Mrs. Edward Sellers and the after
noon was a pleasant one.
Mrs. Il. w. Bidwell entertained the
A. n. club Wednesday. The unusual
features were the refreshments, which
were unusually good, and the fading
away of the electric lights right in
the middle of the evening. This oc-
currence contri buted very much to
the enjoyment of the occasion for
some little time. 1t began to be mon
otonous after a few moments and

will take place Tuesday of next week
