ClaytonBulwer treaty abrogated He said he would exclude from his nfgumdnt any consideration con-sideration of the Panama canal commission com-mission The only prospect of the construction con-struction of the Nicaragua canal now by the United States rested upon the protocols which had been entered into between thir country and the Governments Govern-ments of Nicaragua a and Costa Rica He challenged any Senator to point ton to-n single proposition which Great Britain had made for such a modification modifica-tion of the ClaytonBulwer treaty as would admit of the construction of the Nicaragua canal No such action he said ever had been taken by Great Britain GREAT BRITAINS SILENCE During all the time when Americans were hugging to their bosoms the delusion de-lusion that Great Britain eventually would enter upon a friendly arrangement arrange-ment for the construction of the canal constructon Great Britain had reserved a profound and golden silence He Jailed her silence golden because he asserted Great Britain through Liverpool which was the commercial l center of the world Was belnjr enriched and the United States because of the lack of the Nicaragua canal was helping to the enriching of Great Britain JOHN BULLS OPPOSITION There cannot be anything more precious today to Great Britain said Mr Morgan than to prevent the construction con-struction of the Nicaragua canal I Great Britain by her golden silence can prevent that her piollts will continue con-tinue and the longer sac can do that the greater will be her profits on the Suez canal She has remained as silent us the sphynx which looks out upon the Nile and upon the desert and she seem to be looking out upon a desert of wasted American opportunities and sad to say American honor Great Britain Is sllll silent NO COMPROMISE With some feeling in i referring to thC th-C tonBulel treaty the Alabama Senator said Wo will make no com promise Atith Great Britain upon that subject We will make no concession lo Great Britain In relation to the treaty What we shall do Avlth It and 4ome of our people are opposed even to that is I that we shall declare It abrogated I the vote on my resolution could betaken be-taken today it would Inform the Pi evident evi-dent of the United States that he has no twothirds majority In the Senate to adopt any compromise he may make with Great Britain WHAT WILL RESULT IfIt la I the purpose of Great Britain to still look for delay she will not get It she Mill find the United States can muster at least half the number of men who voted for the President In the last election fighting men And she will find when that war terminates that the steel band which binds the throne Jl London with Australia and India and passes through Canada will have been rent In twain and with Its down will the empire severanee wi go thccmplrc EMPIRE WILL DISAPPEAR She will hind that her possessions In tho Caribbean sea have lapsed She will find that she has overtaxed our patience pa-tience She has started with n now ten and upon a new career that will break up the empire and reduce the King to the sovereignty of his own Island Does Great Britain suppose she can escape from tho terrors of the existing situation and the prospective situation every where and that she can limit a favorable opportunity to display 1 States her military power against the United StatesAMERICA WILL RESIST f 1 Mr Morgan said he did not boast of the power of the United States In but ho thoroughly money men or valor was oughly conscious of them and gloried In that consciousness because he knew when the supreme moment should come 1 and any power in the world should undertake un-dertake to bridle the United States by I placing such restraints upfon her soy eielgnly Aere contained the Clay lonBulwer t Iroaty the American people would roslsj to time bitter end And j that resistance he exclaimed ve c S hemently will mean the wiping out of any power on earth that undertakes the Job He regarded the ClaytonBulwcr treaty In the nature of an alancca shameful alliance with Great Britain r and denounced any suggestion of the 1 Inability of the UnIted States to sever such an alliance without incurring the I penalties of n War He maintained that I In spite of the silence of Great Britain the United States could abrogate the treaty at any time and until It wan abrogated It would act as a clog upon the extension of the commerco of this country I Without concluding his speech Mr Morganyielded the floor and at 245 on motion of Mr Warren of Wyoming
