PANAMA TALK IN THE SENATE Waterway Proposition Continuciis Theme in Upper House. SPOONER VERSUS MORGAN Wisconsin Senator Approves Adminis tration Policy While Alabamian Questions Facts and Figures. In the senate Tnursday the Panama canal question was again the upper most topic, and Mr. Spooner held the floor „ Wlth ... a speech , on Lhat ...... subject during the greater P ortion of the day ’ s session. He discussed many phases of the subject, sustaining the course ot the president throughout the proceed iugs resulting in the independence ci Panama. He also contended for the superiority of tne Panama route over that of Nicaragua. During his presen tation of the question Mr. Spooner was frequently interrupted by Mr. Morgan. Early in the day Mr. Tillman enter ed a motion to reconsider the tie vote of last Monday by which the bill to grant $150,000 to former Queen Lilou kalani was defeated, but iurther con sideration of the suggestion was not pressed at the time. Mr. Spooner found a strong argu ment in favor of the Panama route in the fact that a sea level canal is feas ible at Panama. Mr. Morgan took issue with the statement relative to a sea levc*I canal, contending that the tides in that vicin ity are such as to render a sea level waterway almost out of the question. And,” said Mr. Spooner, interrupting • • I have no doubt that when the time comes, Nicaragua and Costa Rica wall be delighted to make the proper con cessions. t f i ( I don’t know,” replied Mr. Morgan, “that they will be delighted, but they can be compelled to do so.” By the uso of guns,” Mr. Spooner suggested. Mr. Morgan responded by saying that such an agreement could be secured by this government “as easily as it could build a new republic at Panama.” Mr. Spooner defended the president against the charge that he had violat ed the Spooner act in failing to take the Nicaragua rc/.te when Colombia failed to accept the Hay-Herran treaty. If he had taken that course, Mr. Spoon er declared that there would have been senators to reprove the president “for his strenuous haste in turning his back on a route in favor of whicn congress had made a solemn declaration. Mr. Spooner discussed at some length the failure of the Hay-flerran treaty and during his remarks on that point Mr. Morgan said that his position on that treaty had been vindicated. i . The fact remains,'’ said Mr. Spoon er, “that the senator from Alabama was the only American quoted while the treaty was under consideration at Bogota. ’ • “That,” replied Mr. Morgan, without rising from his seat, ‘is not the first | time that Satan was accused of quot I ing scripture. »* j Ml - Spooner .>aid that he had observ ed that whenever our ships were in ; the vicinity there also were French ships there. “I have no doubt,” he gai(i ’ „. f 0Q August the 12 t n the presi dent had abandoned Panama and gone to Nicaragua there would still have I been ships there, although they would no t been ours, >» *< W hat would they have done tt Mr. ,, Morgan asKeci. , , “They would have taken care o?

An official proclamation the ud preparedness of Russia for war and the necessity for the exercise patience by her people Las been is sued at St. Petersburg, It is as lows: *» Eight days have elapsed since all Russia was shaken with profound in dignation against an enemy who sud denly broke off negotiations and by a treacherous attack tried to obtain easy success in a war long desired. The Russian nation with natural im patience, desires prompt vengeance and awaits feverishly news from the Far East. “The unity and strength of the Rus s;an people leave no room for doubt that Japan will receive the chastise ment she deserves for her treachery and , provocation . to war at time when , a our beloved sovereign desired to main tain peace among the nations. The conditions under which hostilities being carried on compel us to await with patience news of the success of our troops which cannot occur decisive actions are fought by th® Rus sian army. The distance of the territory and the desire of the emperor to maintain peace were the causes of the impos sibility of more complete and effective preparations for war. Much time is now necessary in order to strike at Japan, but it is due the dignity and might of Russia, while sparing as much as possible the shedding of blood of her children, to inflict just chastise ment upon the nation which has voked the struggle. Russia must await the event in patience, being sure that our army will avenge an hundredfold that provocation. n Operations on land mast not be ex pected for some time yet, and w^ can not obtain early news from the scene of war. The useless shedding ol blood is unworthy the greatness and power of Russia. . i Our country displays such uxrrty and desire for self-sacrifice on behalf of the national cause that all true news from the scene of hostilities will be immediately due to uie entire na t j on », TURKEY HAS A GRIEVANCE.
