That we will get a canal if one can lie hiiill in I'auama I have no doubt, for the president lias said no. Yet this re sult is not nearly so certain or so .safe as if he should obey the Spooner law." Mr. Morgan said he had only con sented to the enactment of the Spoon er bill because of his confidence 'In the good faith of the president In enforc ing the law, and now that tlio presi dent had not seen fit to keep that faith it remained to ho seen whether the eenate would support bim in that posi tion. The president, he said, had com pleted his campaign against the Spoon er act by having Mr. Hay sign a treaty with "somebody from Panama," who had no authority "except that convoyed In a cablegram from a Junta at Pana ma. Ho read the correspondence bearing upon the revolution to show, as he said, that "the president had known of the uprising In the isthmus before It began and had stood ready with armed ships to protect those engaged In it." Thd pretense in Assistant Secretary Loom is' despatch that it was our desire for peace, Mr. Morgan declared, was the grimmest piece of irony that had ever graced diplomatic channels, Mr. Morgan expressed the hope that Mr. Hay had l.een asleep when some of the nic.-sac.os of his subordinates had been Hying over the wire. "As for the president." he said, "he never sleeps on his p. i-f of duty or desire, although lie smir times closes Ids eyes to what is going on about him." He oontoud"d thai Colombia had a perfect right to suppress an uprising on liie isthmus, and . declared that the I'nit.d States had failed utterly to observe lis treaty oldigations In pur suing the course it lid tafcen. Indeed, he said, our course there had been such that it would bring down the censure of future generations upon us, and he predlrted that tho Immediate result would he disastrous and cause the loss of both men and treasure. Tho conse quences would be such, said he, that the president would have no time for dreams of diplomatic triumphs. Mr. Hay had not been In his (Mr. Morgan's) opinion a free agent in ne gotiating either of the canal treaties. New Jersey Judge Drops Dead. i Millville. N. J., Nov. 2:!.-.Indge 1 James 1 1.
