was lodged in the observation ward
of the Washington asylum hospital.
The end of tho Lorimer case and
the disposition of the senate to post
pone until autumn the impeachment
trial of Judge Robert W. Archbald
of tho commerce court, forecasts an
earlier adjournment of congress than
has heretofore been indicated.
By a strict party vote, Representa

given his place.
An Associated Press dispatch
says: Washington, July 17. Sena
tor O'Gorman of New York charged
in the senate today that railroad in
fluence was behind Great Britain's
protest against the Panama canal
bill, and he joined with Senator
Lodge in declaring that the United
States possessed full, rights under
tho British treaty to give free pas
sage to ships of American register.
These speeches marked the debate
in tho senate on the Panama canal
bill. Both Mr. Lodge and Mr.
O'Gorman declared this nation was
not bound by the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty to give foreign ships all the
privileges granted American ships,
while Senator O'Gorman declared
tho United States possessed the full
right to give American vessels free
passage if desired. Senator Lodge
conceded that if tho case went to The
Plague court the United States prob
ably will lose.
The support today for tlie pro
vision giving free passage to Ameri
can shipB, against which Great
Britain has protested, was more em
phatic than at any time since the
senate began consideration of the
bill. Mr. O'Gorman, Mr. Cummins
and others declared that if the
United States had to construe the
treaty literally in giving the ships
of all nations equal treatment it
would by other terms of the treaty
be prevented from defending the
canal in case of war.
"If a Japanese' fleet appeared at
the western end of the canal," said
Senator Reed of Missouri, "bent
upon passing through to attanlr t.h
city of New York, the United States
would have no right under such a
construction of the treaty to take
any steps against it."
Senator Burton of Ohio, who made
the first speech Monday in support
of the British theory that the United
States can clvo no nnnMai ri.irnr
to Its own vessels, declared war
would suspend the operation of the
treaty. Senator McCumber, how
over, in a speech today against the
free provision, conceded that it was
his belief that the canal would have
to remain neutral even in time of
war and that the United States would
be forbidden by the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty from taking immeasurable
stock or use the canal for its own
protection. Senator O'Gorman de
clared that railroad influence was
behind the British protests.

He said that Taft's nomination is
illegal and the Roosevelt folks are
not republicans. A number of Cali

leadership of tho lieutenant-governor
wired Senator Works demanding
that he resign on account of his criti
