Senator Morgan of Alabama , nulhor of the
Nicaraaua canal bill , xvas accorded a bear
ing nnd spoke nt length on the advnutaces
of the canal. Senator Morgan said : Con-
Btdtring our resources , our geographical and
ilnuncial relation * , xvo could not fall to build
this canal. Ho spoke of the riches uud
penius of this counlry and said xvo uro indeed -
deed iho grandest poxvor In the world. Tlio
knoxviedgo of that fact ought to impel us to
do that xvork. Karnostcoss , devotion , deter
mination and zeal are always lound In
breasts like ttioso hero assembled and genius
and bn ins lllto ihoso nnd tno willing- hands
of the people hokncxv xvho rauko uu the
genius and brains of this country nould go
out nud undertake this great xvork. In 181(5 ( ,
before xvo had acquired any great hold on
the Pncilic , cxjcpt Oregon , xvhon no part of
Mexico xvns ours , the statesmen of the coun
try oiado n treaty xvllli Noxv Grenada. I hat
might have been considered nn entangling
foreign ullianco , but the pconlo of America
do iiot consider any soctlon of this , liomi-
Bph jro , from the Alinnllcocean to the Pnclllr
ocu.tn , loreign country. In that treaty It xvas
provided that the pcoplo of iho United
States should have Iho same trnnslt nnd passage
sago nciws Panama as the citizens of Pun-
umn. There should bo no tolls or dues , de
inurroge orotherxviso. That xvas a very iiroad
cone sslon to us > the inonning of xvhich xvas
that the coast line of the United States xvns
extended ncrnss tbo isthmus of Darlou.
Might it not , happen ns a result of the build
ing of the Panami canal by the French gox--
cnimont that xvo should have tiouhlo xvllh
thnt government if it should llnd it its dulj
in the ptotcction of its own citizens to denj
to thu pcoplo of Iho United Stiles free
transit iicrois tr.o isthmus I
A ( Iri'iitIDOII lo Coininercp.
Senator Morgan said the cunrantoo of
neatrnlity on either slue of the isthmus xvas
n grout boon to commerce. SVo Guaranteed
also to preserve the peace thero. Wo
undertook to do this boc.mso the Isthmus ,
iroogrnphlcn.ly In its relations , is ideuiltied
so closely xvith the United Stales , and because -
cause tno United States Is jealous of its
control ot the coast lines of this hemisphere.
The aim of our proat statesman ha.s alxvuys
been to preserve the coast line for the bone-
lit of the people of the Uultod States.
Coming doxvn to a inter treaty , this time
with Nicaragua , xvo provide for u transit for
our people , equal right * with the people of
Nicaragua , transit for cur armies and muni
tions of xvar , xvlth other provisions. Wo
further speak ot a canal to bo run tnrouirh
Nicaragua , and to preserve our right to send .
troops along Iho line of travel to protect , not
only our people , but other people xvboso
nonce may bo disturbed , or whoso property
is threalcncd.
Spiakmg of the Clayton-Bulxver treaty.
Senator Morgan said ntovUion had been
made that neither Iho Untied Stales no :
Great Britain should disturb the sovereignty
of Nicaragua whim there by building formi
cations along the canal or in any other man
ner. But xvho questions llio right of Presi
dent Harrison to send troopi to Nicaragua
under the earlier treaty , to protect our citi-
20113 and Iheir property ; nnd the right to
carry troops to Nicaragua carries xvith it
the righl to protect those troops. Ttioro IB
nothing In the Clbyton-Bulwor treaty to prevent -
vent its from golni : doxvn into Nicaragua and
building the canal. Great Britain has never
denied that\YO have the right and Great
Britain never sleeps. The lion never oats
his eye.
Our nights in tlio iMliiniH.
Senator Morgan referred to the vloxv ol
Ihu senate on the bearing of the Claytou-
Bulxvcr treaty toward the question of the
control and building of Ibo ennui by iho
Untied States. The commlituo felt thnt
there xvas nothing lu an abstract vloxv of the
treaty , to stop our construction and control
of the canal , but xvn must be careful and llvo
uii to our obligations to Nicaragua in pro
tecting her in her sovereignty and lu prosorv-
ine bur peace. Wo cannot nlford lo yield out
right of free transit across Pana'im , Nicar-
nuguu , or olsoxvhcre on this continent to nny
foreign government , nnd that xvns the point
which the senator desired to make plain ,
i There could bo no doubl that Great Britain's
inirpo.se xvas to ultimately steal llio gront hey
of llio western hemisphere. , Ho uld not
blame Great Britain , but ho did not mean to
bo blind or shut his eyes to her purpose.
Senator Morgan dwelt nt some length on
the Bri'.ish policv us regards Great Britain's
purpose to control , if possible , at some day
the passage through iho Nicaragua.
Senator Morgan snoKonftho treaty thai
bad been negotiated between the United
.Slntcs and Nlcuracun during Arthur's ad
ministration , and xvhich , though havlnc ix
largo majority , did not secure tbo requisite
two-thirds , that trenly xvns withdrawn by
Mr. Cleveland , hiuco then American eitl-
/ens have secured n concession from tlio
rticnrngunu government , and in thut grant
xvo have secured all thai xvo could have se
cured for iho government Itself. When iho
grant xvas made It xviu intended that there
should bo an American canal , controlled bv
Americans. The United Slates could not so-
euro moro man she may require In n com-
tillunoo xvlth the grant made to iho Marltlmo
C11 en I company.
Continuing , ibo senator said If he could
tnuo the members ot congress and murch
them in single llio aionis the \vharvos of
Isexv Yorit and show thorn the commcrc-o
there , and from New Yoru take thorn to tno
far northwest , ami then bring thorn around
by the seaboard and inarch them in single
tile along the wharves of Now Orleans , he
would iiinUo iv si 10 ipor argument in favor of
the canal than than If ho btood on tiptoe nnd
talked in favor ot it for the lost of his. davs ,
If these congressmen know really what tuw
firoai country xvus , and could feel'tho rebpoii-
Elblllty thnt rosiod upon thorn , they could
not fail to furnish another mouth 10 the Mis-
Bisslnl.
Senator Morgan explained fully the cir-
cumstaticoa under which llio senate com-
miltco hud investigated tno project of
building the cauul. Ho Imd been dulightod
with the unaulmitv of mil d mid nurpojo of
the member * of the committee , xvbu ropro-

were united In recommending government

Corrlgan of Ilobouon aanounces in an opoa
letter to the editor of the Freeman's Journal
tonight tlv.it ho has been summoned by
Bishop Wlggflr to stand trial for letters
written by Father Cbrrigan "in opnositlor
to the anti-American spirit of tbo late Gor
man Catholic congress held in Newark nnd
Us ntlaen uuou the public schools. " In the
course of his statement , he says :
"I am opposed to txvo things : First , the at
tempt to Germanize America bv moans of the
church , mid second , donunctiitinn of the puo-
llu schools ns abominations. .V.y criticism is
substantially that which appeared in the
editorials of some ot the great dallies , one of
which concluded the loading article in thcso
words : 'What we arc justified In saying is
that they who took part In those proceedings
ere bad citizens , and dangerous In proportion ,
as they are powerful. '
' 1 criticized the congress m a body. The
congress insulted American IntclliL'e'neo by
denouncing thn public schools the most
cherished institution of the land as abomi
nations ; ' it insulted tbo American church bv
denouncing some of our most distinguished
prelates , i did not sucak of Ill-hop VVIggor
in his capacity as bishop of the diocese , but
simply as a member of the German congress

of his own oloccse , to thu great mortification

"Archbishop Corrlgau and Bishop WigKor
wore not on spjnklns tcruw for yours until

bishop Ireland and Cardinal Gibbous. "
Father Cortlgun sayo , In conclusion : "I
received two weeks notlco of the coming

sion of ttmo was peremptorily refused. This

n scheme essayed by the deputies lu order to
turn public attention nxvay from the cham
ber , bui. it Is likely to fail of Its object. The
difference is great botxveondaputles accepting
money lo vote in the way demanded , and
Journals accepting money to give publicity
to un enterprise. This latlcr feature has
entered for the last thirty years into the
customs of French journals. Tlio customs
are deplornblo , but they exist , as these pay
ments were made according to Iho scale of
prices of almost public nototrloty. I do not
bcliovo that the scandal xvlll succeed against
the press.
Another thing xvhich appears moro serious
is the affair of M. Antonio Proust , u deputy
nud a friend of G.xmbatta , formerly minister
of tine arts. Itnppoara to bo proved that ho
rccuix-od l.OUU shares In the Panama syndi
cate. Another grave fact , according to ro'
liable people xvho tell the story , Is that Baron
de Itelnach had for visitors on the eve of
his suicide n very xvell known minister
and n deputy also xvoll known. All
three worked together burning documents
Irom 1 o'clock iu the evening to midnight.
'J xvo houri later H iron de Hlnaoh xvas

It Is certain'that a general reorganization

The mayor xvns very vigorous , and told

Tnc BEU roprosentatlvo that there xvas to bo
no mooting und that after the theater ho
proposed to go homo , xud to bod.
Subsequent developments rendered It possi
ble that the general xvas oaslly found. Tlio
independents hold u caucus'at the Lindell
early in the evening , which xvas attended by
I'OXVOM , Loose , McHsynoldi nnd I'oyntor ,
thejo four and no moro. Wolfe xvas invited
hut xvas suspicious and failed to slioxv up.

Powers , McHeynolds , Grojn and Leeso
made tholr appearance.
The coafaranco xvns informal and unsatis
factory. The quartet of independents
agreed that the thing to do xvas for the Independents -
pendents to assist the democrals in organ
izing Onth branches of the legislature. They
agreed that it should bo done , hut cautiously
expressed doubts us to their ability to de
liver the goods. This xvas all that'iho con
ference accomplished , nnd the result1 ! xvero
painfully meager compared to all that might
have been expected from the oxtraordiuury
efforts made to keep the affair a secret.
MK. OAKMCV'S IDEAS.
Lancaster's Cnmltilntn for .Spo.itccrT.illcs of
the ricclslutiiru'ii 1'rojpoctn.
lion , II. II. O.iltloy of Lincoln xvas in the
city yosterJay in the Interest of his spoaker-
shlp boom. Ho said thnt ho xvas very xvol
satlsliod with the outlook , and that If the
matter xvas to bs decided at tha proaent tirno
there xvould bo llttto doubt ixs to the out
come. Ho reatlzod , howex'cr , that a mouth
was to Intervene bsforo the opining of the
legislature , and said that there xvas time for
the mombaM-elect to chungo their minds
several times in the Interval. Ho exprassed
tha belief that ho XXMS an available man for
the place , but said that if there xvas a rouuh-
lican membor-olect who cnmo nearer tilling
the bill and xvhostood a oottcr chance to capture -
turo the necessary votus outside the party
ho xvould promise that man live votes from
Lancaster county.
Ho felt that the party noxv had an oppor
tunity to redeem itself and mnko n showing *
that xvould commend it In thu estimation of
all good citizen ! ' , and lie xvas especially de
sirous , whatever micht bo iho action of the
house in the election of a speaker , thut tbo
locisluturo xvould hold a short , actlvo busl-
uois session , extending but little , If any , beyond -
yond the necessary sixty days. Ho boned
that the session xvould bo devoted to the con
sideration and enactment of food legislation ,
uaa that the senatorial light xvould bo of
short duration. He said that ho did not
think that n maximum rate bill xvould bo
passed , but ho xvns satisfied that tboro xvould
bo some railroad legislation. Ho thought
that it xvould cover ibo shipment of farm
products , but ho expressed some doubt as to
its going beyond thnt , as no said that there
xvas no complaint about the rates charged
for the shipment of merchandise , unless It
was In ono or two localities.
Another thing that ho believed and hoped
that he xvould see xvas a material reduction
of the force of suparnumornrlos that xvas em
ployed by tbo last lojlslaturo. Ho thought
that all the xvork could bo done by n force
not exceeding 150 persons , instead of 2 5 ,
which was the number mat had ostensibly
been given employment in the txvo houses
by the so-called reform legislature of txvo
years ago. Ho xvas in favor of hiring com
petent , capable people , and requiring them
to do something for their monov , but ho xvas
opposed to hiring a lot of employes and put-
tlni ; them on Iho pavroll a month before
there xvus iinylliini ; for thorn to do. and Haiti
th era xvas no excuse for employing ix lot of
clerks of committees at the start , ns xvlth u
foxv exceptions there xvns no buslposs or
pnpors in the hands of the eo'mnittooj dur
ing the lirsl thirty d.tvH. Ho niuu that ho
hoped to sen n disposition to transact busl-
neus on business principles.

In thu discussion this morning soma mem
