CANAL DISCUSSION.
Senator Morgan Thinks Two Canals
Will Be Needed.

washington.-The Senate spent four
hours Friday in discussing the Panama
canal emergency appropriation bill,
and when it adjourned the bill was still
under consideration. There were set
speeches by Messrs. Teller, Scott and
Morgan, and they were followed by a
general debate in which all phases OF
the controversy were exploited, includ-
ing salaries, control of the Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
legislation on the canal subject.
Scott and Morgan wanted canal on
the San Bias route.
Mr.. Allison, chairman OF the COM
mittee on appropriations, expressed
the opinion that Congress should take
up the question of salaries in connec-
ton with other canal legislation. He
also said that the status OF the Fan
ANA railroad should be made the SUD-
ject of legislation.
Messrs. Teller, Scott and Morgan ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the con
ditions in Panama, but all indicated a
determination to support the supply
measures necessary to secure the con
struction of the canal as at present un'
dertaken.
Mr.. Teller advocated a sea level ca
nal: Mr.. Scott spoke in support OF the
San Bias route as preferable to all
others, and Mr.. Morgan expressed the
opinion that before the Panama canal
is completed another canal Will be nee
essary to do the business required.
A separate bill regulating the 1ssu
ance of bonds for the canal and plac
ing them on the same basis as othel
government bonds was passed without
debate.

DENouNcEs STANDARD OIL.
Governor Hoeh Says It Costs Kansas
100000 Day.

Ottawa, Kans.-Gov. w. E. Hoch,
speaking here last night at gather
ing of Republicans, said:
AT this time the Kansas oil field is
yielding 10000 barrels day, an insis-
nificant part of its capacity, and for
this oil the Standard Oil Company,
which sets the price, is paying less
than one-third what 1t paid year ago.
l believe it could pay 81 a barrel for
this oil more than it is paying, and
still make large profit.
In other words. it is robbing the
people of 100000 day, or 22,000,000
a year. We sit supinely down while
we are being robbed of enough money
every day by this one corporation to
build a hundred homes for the home
less, or to rear a great educational in
stitution, or to endow a college, or in
one year>to pay all the expenses of the
state for five years"
