to Rive differential rates to vciieU entering
Into our coastwise trade. This matter
brought other senators from the republican
sldo Into the controversy. Senators Per
kins and Nelson were among those who
contributed to this feature of the con
troversy. Senator N'clson Insisted that under ex
isting law the United Stales would hftvo a
perfect right to give to the coastwise trade
of this country any benefit It saw fit. It
was perfectly well understood that tho
hips of a foreign nation could not do a
coaslwlso business and Great Ilrltaln had
made tho treaty with the full knowledge
of this fact.
A" in Commlne lllsclit.
Senator Perkins mado tho assertion that
by tho acquisition or control of a strip of
territory through which tho ennal would
pass tho United States would acquire rights
which would subject that territory to our
coastwlso laws, and said foreign bottoms
could not trade between ports of tho
United States and any portion ot tho terri
tory through which tho canal was built.
This view was combatled to a certain ex
tent by Senators Tillman and Bacon, the
former Intimating that If that were true
relative to tho United States, Great Brit
ain, on account of Its Canadian possessions,
and Mexico, both extending from ocean to
ocean, also could contend for similar priv
ileges. This, ho thought, also would bo
truo of any South American country whoso
territory extends from ocean to ocean.
Mllltitry ItlwIH Comr I'lrnl,
Senator Spooncr was decidedly of a con
trary opinion and Insisted that those coun
tries did not acquire any rights of a coast
wlso trade character along tho routo of tho
proposed canal, which territory was under
tho control of, or which might bo ceded to
tho United Slates. Tho mere fact that Ca
nadian or Mexican territory extends from
ocean to ocean would not glvo them the right
to mako demands for the generosity or busi
ness foresight of tho United States.
Senator Spooncr nlso contended that the
United States would also have a right to
control tho canal In Its own manner during
any war In which this country might bo
concerned.
Senator Mason Interjected that treaty
agreements novrr bind a nation to tho ex
tinction of Its military rights and duties.
Sonator Spooncr nssentcd to this and said
no matter what might bo tho provisions of
tho treaty the nation could not bo accused
of dishonor or Immorality It Its treaty Is
brokon In defonso of Its own existence.

Tho senato commlttco on Isthmian canals
today authorized a favorablo report upon
Senator Morgan's bill providing for tho nc
qulsltlon from Nicaragua and Costa Rica of
tho right of way via tho Nicaragua routo.
Senator Morgan lator presented this report
to the senate, accompanying tho return of
tho bill with n report upon the general
subject ot a canal across the Isthmus. Ac
tion on tho bill providing for tho construc
tion of tbo canal was deferred.
In tho senate today Mr. Allison from
the committee on appropriations favorably
reported tho concurrent resolution ndopted
by tho house providing for a holiday roccss
from December 19 to January 0, 1902, and It
was agreed to.
Mr. Mason from tho commltteo on manu
factures submitted n favorablo report on
a bill relating to tho adulteration of
food producto and addressed tho senate
briefly, criticising certain products which
had come, under tho observation of the
commlttco. On motion of Mr. Lodgo tho
senate at 1 p. m. went Into executlyo ses
sion. Senator Morgan's roport deals with many
queatlons connected with tho construction
of tho canal, Including a thorough Inquiry
Into tho nttltudo of Great Britain upon tho
subject and tho different canal routes. Ho
also discussed the relationship of tho Pan
America Canal company to the construction
by tho United States of a waterway across
tho isthmus.
Whllo ho makes refcrenco to a letter
wrltton by President Hutln of tho Panama
company to Secretary of Stato flay ho does
not give tho text of tho communication.
Mr. Morgan says that tbo flrBt letter to
Secretnry Hay was dated November 22 last
and that It was written nftor Admiral Wal
kor, as president of tho commission, had
closed his corrospondonco with M. Hutln
relative to tho oalo of the Panama canal.
President Hntlii' Letter.
Ho then adds: "Tho lottor to Mr. Hay,
with tho appendix thoreto and tho memo
randa that accompanies It, Is an attack on
tho president of tho commission replete
with falso assumptions and perversions of
fact and !b ovldontly tntonded to create i
sldo Issue, tho debato upon which, It Is
hoped by M. Hutln, will delay, If It docs
not defeat, the flnnl action of congress In
providing for the construction of any canal.
"This proceeding, and tho placing ot this
correspondent In tho hands of the presi
dent of the United States by M. Hutln. with
a request that it bo communicated to con
gross, Is but a continuation of tho presump
tous and offonslvo proposition previously
made by tho Panama Canal company.
This company In a previous administra
tion, had succeeded In obtaining tho resig
nation of n secretary of tho navy to accept
a nominal .position In their eorvlco nt a
largo salary and expended l,GOO,000 In New
York chiefly In acquiring tho aid ot tho
loading business houses in promoting tho
Do Losseps plan with but a dollar of stock
being subscribed in that city.
Tho dospcrato financial straits of the new
Panama Canal compnny compelled them to
mako overtures to tho United States to un
load their onterprloo upon the United States
nnd their agents became accordingly aggres
slvo In this effort."
Goo In History.
Tho report, then proceeds to quoto a num-
bor ot communications from M. Hutln and
his attorneys to offlccrs of this government
In 1899 ind 1900, which havo horotofore
boon printed. After quoting a letter from
Sullivan & Cromwell, attorneys for tho
Panama Caual rorenny, directed to tho
prestdeut and dated iprll 30, 1900, In which
they ask the president to advlso congress
of tho attitude of tho "Panama company, tho
report says;
The manifest purpose of this company to
Interfere with legislation by asking tbo
president to inform coneres of a stnto of
facts as alleged, of which congress Is pre
sumably without knowledge, is nn Insult
to tho lntelllennen nf rmiL.rpR.1 It l nn
Insolent Invitation to tho president to con-
irui inn ncuon oi congress so mat mey
shall not net upon hills reported by com.
mlttees In both houses.
Senator Morgan again refers to tho let
ter to Secretary Hoy of last Novembor,
aylng that M. Hutln previously had made
an unmlstakablo proposal to sell tho Pan
ama .property to the Unltod Sintes, and
adding:
Impiiten II ml I'nllli.
Vet Mr. Hutln In his correspondence
with Admiral Walker In his lettor nnd In
the accompanying memorandum bpiu to Mr.
Hay first assumes and then states nnd
rgues nnd tlnnlly Insists that the United
RtatOA offered to tuirehnse tliAlr n,in.,iv
and that when tho company ngrced to sell
It the Isthmian cnnal commission refused
to enter Into n scheme ot arbitration to na
certnln tho valtlo of It. Ha Immitim lmi

rlaea It ripallnBm with thnVnnal mn.mi

(
mato questions of M. Hutln and that there
was In them no Intimation of a proposition
to purchase. In this connection Admiral
Walker's letter of October 22 last to M.
Hutln Is published and this Senator Morgan
says that "It utterly breaks down tho pre
tention ot M. Hutln that the United States
through Admiral Walker was engaged In
tho efiort to purchase the property of tho
Panama canal." He adds that tills letter
dispels every possible criticism of Admlrai
Walker and of the commission of which ho
Is president. The letter tho report accuses
M. Hutln of falling to send to tho president.
Tho conclusion with referenco to this point
of the controversy Is set forth In the fol
lowing language:
.Motive for the Anxiety.
Tim motive for this unseemly misconduct
must lie either that this canal comnnny Is
desperate in Its purpose to unload Its prop
erty upon me inneu mates uecnime uiu
French stockholders hnvo lost faith In Its
success or that It Is trying to prevent tho
competition of nny cannl with Its Panama
rallromi, mo snares oi wnicn mcy vnmu
at the fnco value being $100 per shftro
on account of Us enormous earnings.
The Introductory pages contain a general
review of the Importance of the construction
of an Isthmian canal, and In the second
paragraph of the report It Is declared that
the falluro to accomplish this work would
creato a feeling of national despair."
Contending for tho Importance of tho en
terprise, Senator Morgan urges that no na
tion nor any combination of private Inter
ests can have any right to prevent Its con
summation. "Thoro remains," ho says,
but one barrier to tho union of the Atlan
tic nnd Pacific oceans nnd no ono nation
has tho right to declare that It novcr shall
be removed oxcept with Its consent."
Other Nation to llliinte.
Ho attributes the falluro to construct tho
canal In the past to tho attitude of other
nations, oaylng:
For the Inst fifty years tho power nnil in
fluence of tho llrlllsh government, Hided by
combinations In tho United States nnd
France, has defeated all efforts to open an
iMnerlcun istnmiati cunni.
Continuing In this line ho saysr
Atitnironlsm. which is nn Imperial policy
of Qrent ilrltaln In the beginning, has bo
romu a plan for gathering wealth by levy
ing tollB upon tho commerce of America,
nnd Its strength of purpose will liicrcaso
until some more powernii una jam iimut-u-mont
will lend Orrnt Britain to relax its

In further discussing tho nttltudo of
Great Ilrltaln Sonator Morgan says:
IiiNtriiiiient ot Injustice.

Ho assorts that Great Britain's control
of tho Mosquito coast was used ns a pre
tonso to hold ub until It had accomplished
its great policy relating to tho bucz cnurti.
Wo were." ho said, "hold in tno icasu

contends that Great Britain's policy from
tho beginning was simply a policy of delay
and that both powors havo abandoned the
policy of tho Clayton-Hulwor treaty, of
which, ho declares, nothing remains "but
an empty diplomatic technicality thnt must
yield to the reasonable demands of tho
United States, Nicaragua ana bosia uica

tho demands ot tho world for a gateway

Ho declares that It diplomatic effort toi

tho Clayton-Bulwer treaty falls, congress
should abrogate It. Tho major portion of
tho report was mado beforo tho now Hay

but In nn appendix the following refcrenco
Is mado to that treaty:

KANSAS CITY, Doc, 12 (Special Tele
gram.) Mrs. Carl McManlgle, who Insists
she Is the wife of Carl "Atheno," tho al
leged hypnotist, today appealed to Chief of
Police Hayes to aid her In bringing her
husband back to Kansas City on tho charge
of abandonment. Tho pollco took Athcoo
Into custody Just after he had finished a
six-days' "sleep" here, nt Mrs. McMan-
Iglo's request, and he promised to provldo
for her ns a husband should.
When she was told that he had another
woman with him nt Omaha and was passing
her off as his wlfo she became furious. She
produced a marriage certificate showing that
sho had married McManlgle In Brooklyn, N.
Y. She says sho has been supported largely
by tho aid of her husband's father, who lives
at Harper, Kau., sineo "Atheno" abandoned
her two weeks ago.
Chief Hnyes referred tho woman to Prose

tomorrow.
To the reporters of Kansas City papers
Mrs. McMnnlglo said her husband's alleged
six-days sleep In Kansas City was a fake.
She said ho was supplied with air through
the shaft that led down to his face In tho

8:25 a.m., will require n longer tlmo service
by fifty minutes. All other trains can be
maintained on present schedules, but the
new fast train planned must bo abandoned.
Two Nothwestorn trains from Chicago
wost will noed slowing up. No. 1, leaving
thoro at 8 p. m. and arriving In Omaha at
8:40 a. m., Is fifty minutes below tho limit,
and No. C, leaving thero at 10 a. m, and
arriving here at 11:10 p. m., le twenty min
utes too fast.
All trains on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul routo aro now within tho limit on
the Chicago-Omaha line, but this road will
bo compelled to make ono chango botween,
Chicago and Minneapolis. It has boen run
ning sleepers on mall trains between those
points and the tlmo was considerably faster
than the limit of eloven hours and fifty
mlnutos set by tho new schedule.
Union Paclfij passenger officials nro'con
sldcrably disgruntled at the order. Thpy
do not relish tho Idon of compelling the
Northwestern line to slow up' both Its fast
trains wost from Chicago simply because,
as they say, "tho other roads haven't good
enough trackago to mako the pace."
However, tho feeling at Union Pacific
headquarters Is ono of nbsoluto Independ
ence of tho mandate, Officials eay they
will not bo compelled to chango a single
train on their lino as a result ot It, TblB
Is becauso most of the changes in trains
with which they connect will bo mado nt
the Chicago end, the arrival hero being
about the same In all canes as It was be
fore. The slight alterations at this end can
bo counteracted by tbo use of Borne ot tho
dead time now consumed at this point.
"Anyway, supposing tbey do knock us out
ot an hour or so eventually at this end,"
E.itd a passengor official of that lino yester
day morning, "wo can easily mako It up on
our way west and It will not chango our
time at Salt Lake City or tho coast. Wo
have lots of room to cut It oft out that
way, but wo are tho shortest now by some
twelve hours, and what's tho use."
It Is the general opinion ot Omaha rail
road men that If tho changes In time wero
to have nny marked effect they would bo
felt mostly on the limited trains from hero
east. On all the Unco theBe trains are
tho ones that carry the heavy business for
connection with the roada running east
from Chicago. They all leavo hore nt
night, shortly before 8 o'clock, and arrive

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 12. -The latest
Information regarding Miss Ellen M. Stone,
tho American missionary, nnd Mme Tsllka.
her companion, Indicates that their condi
tion has been so far ameliorated that they
aro able to obtain rude comforts. It Is even
snld that tho brigands hnvo a doctor ready
at hand in caso his services should be
needed.
It appears that tho brigands aro now com
plaining that Miss Stone Is attempting to
convert them to Christlnnlty. While not
recognizing tho legality of the nbductloti of
Miss Stonu nnd Mme. Tsllkn the brigands
contend that their action was In the Interest,
of n snored cause and therefore Justifiable
The brigands apparently are prepared to
hold out nil wlntor. They refuse to abate
their demands one dollar and have not
vouchsafed a reply to Mr. Dickinson's ulti
matum to tho effect that they must ncccpt
his Inst offer or nothing. It Is believed in
Well-Informed circles thnt wcro the gold
actually proffered nt somo spot on the bor
der by nn accredited emissary, tho brigands
would reduce tho amount of the ransom.
It is understood hero that recommendations
have been forwarded to Washington, propos
ing that un ultimatum bo sent to Uulgaiia.
