Washington, Dec 17. —Late this after noon the Senate gave its consent to tn* fixing of a definite time lo vote upon the Hay-Pauncefota treaty. Senators Money and Mason had occu pied tne time of the executive M-s*lon In making speeches upon the treaty, and when Senator Ixslge renewed his request to take a voie next Thursday, unanimous agreement was recorded. The under standing Is that the voting shall be on the amendment at 3 o'clock and that the Senate shall continue In session until the first vote on the treaty Itself hi reached. Hena*or Money's speech* was a flat pro test against the entire proceeding* in con nection With the treaty. He said while England demanded that the Putted Htates should not fortify the profs-*d Isthmian ‘anal she herseif had fortlficatlons whi *h practically control the Hues canal Senator Mason spoke in support of his suggested amendment authorize g the ! United Slates to defend the cans) a ft may deem proper In ruse It constructs the canal He explained that while h<s k. Ing to have the treaty amended, h Is not seeking to antagonise the administration Nothing, he said, was further from, his mind. He declared that the present in stance furnishes the first precedent of n great nation's bring asked In advance to agree not to defend a great public work, the construction of which !i is oontem j plating H< did not comd ler that Gn at Britain should undertake to say what we should do in the matter. While he con. aidered that country in the "sere aid yel low lewf." he thought that we should deal with It as we would with either the weak esi nation or the strongest. In o*her words, he said, our dealing should be on the plane of justice and the manly asser tion of our own rights. So Question of Onr Hlabt. Mr Mason said there was and could he no contention over the question of ' the right of a nation to defend Itself and fts citizens and property, and he urged that the recognition of this right mu*t enforce concession of the right to make precautionary defense. Not only, ho ar. gued, have we the right as a nation to erect fortifications as a meant* of defense, but we have the right accord tig to inter* rational usage to enter a neutral or friendly territory and there make assail!’, if need be. lie contended that our natural right of defense, la more dcrtnltely Used under In ternational law than under tha Clayton fiulwer trevity. and wild that our rights would la* much stronger If the canal were Imlll by the nation as such than If ca structrd by private enterprise, even though the enterprise be American. Senate's open Session. The Senate was In open session only an hour to-day. the remainder of me legis lative day being spent In executive ses sion upon the Hay-Paunrefote treaty. Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire cre ated a little flurry by endeuvorlng again to got up the resolution relating to the Montana senatorial case. The effort we* futile During Its dls Nsslon Mr. Chan dler said he thought the coming Senate had a right to an early report from the Committee on Privilege* and K.actions and said ho would he glad to know what had Influenced numbers of the commit tee to delav action. This aroused .Mr. Jones of Arkansas who questioned the rigkt of any senat.s to demand the reasons which might In fluence the actions of a member of any committee. He could not understand why Mr Chandler should seek lo punish him and Intimated that Mr. Chandler must have some personal Interest In the reso lution. Mr. Chandler raid there was no use for the member of tha Committee on Contln gent Expenses fo pul on any disguises. It was perfectly evident that no such treat ment had ever before been given a resolu tion of the character of that pending. The matter finally went over and without tranoa.Atng any Important legislative busi ness tne Senate went Into executive ses sion. FOR HARBORTf BRUNSWICK.

Dec. 17 —The House Com mittee on Hlvers and Harbors Is going to give an appropriation of 111',/mi for the Inner harbor at Brunswick, and will.

Jt will be recelled that Copt Gillette* recommendations with rsgard to this out er bar estimated that to produce a chan nel 34 feet deep and 300 feet wide by dredging, there should he expended 1130,- 000 for a dredg*. With that dredge he e -ttmated that It would cost 124 000 to main tain the present channel. 140.000 to *H an additional foot of water and ftd.OUQ to straighten nut the channel The commlHt* has decided against the purchase of a dredge and In 4he bill, which It has still In proeei.* of construe Hot), has put an Item nf C'.OOii for work there. As tt would take some time to build a dredge. Congressman Brantley and Col Heater, who are looking out (or the Brunswick appropriation, are of (he opinion that one Is not material But they are working with the committee tn secure at least MO 000 to be expended upon the outer her. It Is probable the enen mlttee will place that figure In the Hsu** bill, but If It does not. Senator Clay will see that It gets on whan the bill U before the Senate Commerce Com mute*. of which h* is a member.
