TIE LID DOWN on MORGAN.
Senate lanai Committee Votes to Excuse
Cromwell and May Not CAL Him Again.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The Senate Com
mittee on Interoceanio Canals took sum
mary action to-day in executive session
to rid itself of the Morgan-Cromwell daily
comedy which has occupied the attention
of the committee for q whole week, to the
exclusion Of other matters. The COM
mittee voted to excuse William Nelson
Cromwell from further testifying at this
time, andto turn its attention to considera-
ing legislation relating to the administra-
ton of the canal and hearing only such
witnesses DIS those whose testimony is valu-
able as an aid TO the committee.
When the committee vent into executive
session this morning Mr., Cromwell, with his
lawyers bag brimful of canal information,
paced the corridors outside. Senator Nor
gan of Alabama, who has been after the
New York lawyer so hard, declined to come
to the committee, although sent for and
urged. He cent word to the committee
that its members could take any action
they chose; that he wouldn't attend.
The action of the committee in suppress
ing Mr.. Morgan and eXcusing Mr.. Cromwell
has been meditated for the last two days.
The members nave felt that the examina-
ton was rapidly degenerating into a farce.
After informal conferences last night
Mr.. kittredge, oil the advice of his col
leagues in the committee, came to the
meeting to-day with the lid all ready to be
put on. When the committee met he
moved that the committee complete the
examination Of witnesses Markell and
Shonts and then proceed to hear evidence
on the type Of canal, the method of on
struction and proposed Legislation, with
the understanding that the witnesses whose
testimony has not been completed n
such other witnesses as the committee
may desire to call will be examined later.
Senator Knox seconded the motion and
it was carried unanimously.
Markell will go on the stand at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon. Then Linden w. Bates
will be heard. Following Mr.. Bates the
American members of the consulting board
of engineers will be called Cromwell
and others, whose testimony relates to
e~xtraneous matters, will probably never
be called.
As soon as the action Of the committee
was conveyed to Mr.. Cromwell, he thanked
the members and hurried way to catch a
train for New York.
