Gently negotiated with the republic or
Nicaragua by which the United States
would secure for the sum Of $3,0oQ,000
a perpetual and exclusive right to build
an interoceanie canal through that scoun-

tions committee OF the senate it was
determinec to 4ecsaaead no aptIon on
the convention during the present CON
gress.
The treaty was negotiated last Deeem-
Der by American Minister Weitzey at
Nicaragua, because Of rumors that other
nations had from time to time consid-
cred the feasibility of building a wafer
way to compete with the Panama canal
In addition to giving the United States
exclusive canal rights in the treaty that
ships of the United States might be adj
mitted to coastwise traffic and that this
country could have the right to estab-
lish naval station in the gulf OF FOn-
SEGA, s9-year lease being included on
the Great and Little Corn Islands.
Original plans for q canal across Mica
ragua provide that it should follow. the
route through the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua The pending treaty
not only gives the United States exclu-
sive control over that route, but over
any other route that might be selected
acorss the isthmus. The condition to
be met by the United States is the pay
ment of S., 100000 within one year from
the ratification of the convention.

happens that after they are cured and

WEBB BILL VETOED;

TAFT SAYS BILL IS INVALID
President Says Bill Violated Interstate
Commerce Clause Of Constitution.
Legislators Would Do Duty
~ Lift Burden From Court. M

Washington.-The Webb liquor bill,
prohibiting the shipment of liquor into
"dfy" states, was re-passed in the sen
ate over President Taft's veto within
two hours after the presidents message
of disapproval had been lad before that
body. m
A short debate in which the adyo-
Gates Of tt bib vvssd down a motion to
postpone action until later and in which
they reaffirmed their belief that the
measure is constitutional, ended with the
re-passage of the bill by the large ma
jority of So to 21.
The Webb bill passed both house Of
congress and went to the president ten
days ago. His veto message was ac-
companied by an opinion from Attorney
General Wickersham. Basing his decision
upon the attorney generals findings, the
president expressed the belief that the
measure was clearly Unconstitutional be-
cause it gave the state the right to in
terfere with interstate commerce.
fllL-t4ft t8stf. ti4tt -. tffH4
The senate took up the bill at once.
Attorney General Wickersaam's opinion
was not read and Senator Kern asked
that final vote on the overriding OF
the veto be delayed, SO senators might
have the opportunity to examine the at
torney generals arguments
Senator McCunfber declared both the
president and the. attorney general had
misconstrued the grounds upon which
congress had passed the prohibition law.
He said it had not attempted to give the
state the right to interfere with COM
merce but had simply declared liquor
an Outlaw and had then p1 escribed con-
ditions under which it might enter in
terstate commerce.
Senator Kern also briefly urged re-
passage of the bill; while Senators
Paynter and Percy advocated support OF
President Taft's veto.
