Senator Morgan and Two Daughters are
 Rt Florence.

Florence. Oct 5.-(Special. l-Sena- tor John T. Morgan drove in today from Bailey Springs, where he spends his summer vacations, and Is stopping at the Jefferson Hotel for week. He was accompanied by his private secre- tary and daughters. Miss Morgan and Miss Cornelia Morgan. Senator Nor gan is greatly improved in health, des .. bite the fact that he has devoted much time to Investigating conditions of ths Tennessee River.
 The North Alabama Contracting Com pany of Florence, has secured a con- tract for half the excavating on Colbert Shoals, amounting to $350.000. The stockholders Of the company are all Florence men and the work will be un- der the supervision of Thomas w. Crow and James A. Angel. of this city. Mir.

Mir. Chairman, Mir. Smiley, Ladies and Gentlemen-It is a good habit of all good Americans to pay debts. I ap- prove it, have tried to follow 1t, and 1t always made me happy. But today the generous hospitality of our host, his invitation to be one of this Con- ference of distinguished Americans, my presence here. have put upon me debt I can never hope to repay in kind. Hap oily for us all the only payment ac- cepted Is a genuine American article, a helping hand for peace and good VIII toward man, and a good work for in- ternational arbitration on all occa- sions.
 As a rule. I have been in thorough accord with all of the resolutions and most of the sentiments of this Con- ference. But I cannot assent to the turning of your guns on the United States Senate. Somehow guns seem out of place in a peace congress. Neither bull-dozing nor word-pelting ever yet influenced for good any in- telligent body of men. The text of the arbitration treaties is not an American document and was not written by Mir. Secretary Hay. He was in no wise re- sponsible for 1t. It was drawn up by certain European diplomats. am proud of our Senate. My respect for 1t is inherited and has grown and in- creased as my acquaintance Wltn US splendid history and present member ship has grown. The Constitution con- ferred the power and imposed the du- ty of making treaties upon our Sena- tors jointly with the President Con- additionally. the President cannot make a treaty without the advise and consent of the Senate; possibly, under the Constitution, he ought not to ig- nore that advice nor seek to enforce singly a power conferred jointly, with we'll defined limitations, even naming his advisors. The amendment pro- posed by the Senate was very slight and very simple.
 In treaty making the Senate. jointly with the President, has in charge the honor, the welfare and the flag of Our nation. As color bearers it behooves them to carry the flag thoughtfully us well as bravely. They were acting entirely within their sphere in advis- ing amendments, and were honor- bound to be cautious. The Constitu- tion confided in their advice and con- sent. their judgment. It was right for them to exercise their own judgment In performing this duty. It appears to some to have been a tempest in a teapot"---a quibble over dignity.

Appointments Not Tentative.


 Appointments Not Tentative.
 Josenb O. Thompson, collector of in- ternal revenue and one of President RooseyeIt's advisers in Alabama, who returned last night from Washington, where he conferred with the President. was seen this morning by Birming- ham reporter and asked regarding the appointment of P. M. Long to the office of United States Marshal for the Ncrth- ern District of Alabama. He said that while at the White House the Presi- dent informed him of the appointment.
 Mir Thompson was informed that from the reports received in Birming- ham the appointment of MT. Long was tentative, to which he replied: That is not so, the President stated to me definitely that he had appointed Mr. Long to that offfce."
 In commenting on the matter Mir. Thompson said: The President made this appointment on the recommenda- ton of a large number of his friends who firmly believe that MT. Long is a capable man for the offlce. He was strongly endorsed by numerous people from all parts of the State and when the President spoke to me about 1t he appeared to be firmly of the opinion that MT Long was the man for the place. He received the strong backing that he did because, irrespective of party, he is known to be a Christian gentleman. a young man of ability and one in whom implicit confidence might be placed in both word and act In my opinion the appointment reflects great credit on the Republican Party"
 When asked how soon Mir. Long would take up the reins of his office Mir. Thompson replied: Just as soon as all the necessary preliminaries are arranged. It will be necessary to make bond and qualification for the office, which of course will take up some little time. When this is done he will take charge"
 Regarding the appointment of Gen. eral R. D. Johnston to the office of reg Ister of the land office at Montgomery. Mir Thompson was asked If De had en- iorsed the general for that office. Tn reply he said that the President had had the matter in mind for some time and that for the past year he had con templated offering him some office. Tt was one of those appointments that the President sometimes makes entire- Iy on his own voIition." he said, "and without asking for the recommenda- ton of anybody. What prompted him To make this appointment was in my opinion his earnest desire to give fur ther recognition of the old soldiers of he South"
