PANAMA CANAL TREATY
Reported to Senate and Will Be Con-
sidered Day by Day.

Washington Jan. 1S.-While the
Panama canal question has been be-
fore the Senate on general principles
during the greater part of the present
session, the Panama canal treaty was
not reported until today. 1t had no
sooner been reported favorabiy to the
Senate in executive session than it
became the subject of heated contro-
versy. Senator Cul!om made the re-
port in favor of the treaty. whereupon
Senator Morgan. as n member of the
committee, at once entered a formal
protest against the appearance of the
report on the ground that when the
committee decided to report the treaty
an amendment was still under consid-
Grafton. and that he had not had time
TO present an amendment looking to
the striking out of Article % 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 a brief speech and
was Immediately followed by Senator
Daniel, with resolution declaring
against the policy of reporting any
treaty or bill until each member SHALL
have offered any amendments ne 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 recommitte1 for
further consideration.
Replies were made by Senators Cul-

LARGEST IN WORLD.
Engineers Preparing Plans for Bridge
Across Strait of Canso.

Halifax, n. s., Jan. 1S.-A special
from Sydney says: Announcement IS
made by the Strait Of CansO Bridge
Co that the bridge engineering special
lists. Messrs. Waddell and Herrick of
st. Louis, Mo, have been commissioned
and are now preparing plans for the
proposed bridge across the Strait OF
Canso. Mr. Waddeil visited the site of
the proposed bridge last summer and
after examining the plans of survey
pronounced the project feasible and
practical, Notwithstanding that the
cantilever span will necessarily have
to be the largest ever erected in the
world. owing to the immense depth Of
water in the center of the strait.
This span Will be 1850 feet long and
Will rest on two abutmentS in the shape
of steel cylinders 40 feet in diameter
filed with concrete. The total length
of the bridge from shore to shore Will
be 5000 feet and the under part of the
main span will be $50 feet above water.
Thirty-five thousand tons of steel
will be required to construct the bridge,
and the estimated cost is S5.G00.0o0.

very hopeful sign.
Another strong influence on the side
Of peace has been the attitude OF Nj.
