THE OMAHIA DA ILY BEE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1901, to give differential rates to vessels entering into our coastwise trade. This matter brought other senators from the republican #lde into the controversy. Senators Per- kins and Nelson were among those who contributed to this feature of the con- troversy Senator Nelson insisted that under ex- fating law the United States would have a pertect right to give to the coastwise trade of this country any benefit it saw fit was perfectly well understood that ships of a forelgn nation could not comstwise business and Great Pritain had made the treaty with the full knowledge of this fact An to Constwise Rights, the Senator Perkins made the assertion that by the acquisition or control of a strip of territory through which the canal would pass the United States would acquire rights which would subject that territory to our coustwine laws, and sald forelgn bottoms could not trade between ports of the United States and any portion of the terri- tory through which the canal was built. This view was combatted to a certain ex tent by Senators Tiliman and Bacon, the former intimating that if that were true relative to the United States, Great Brit- aln, on account of its Canadian possessions, and Mexico, both extending from ocean to ocean, also could contend for similar priv- fleges. This, he thought, also would be trus of any South American country whose territory extends from ocean to ocean. Milltary Rights Come Firat, Senator Spooner was decidedly of a con- trary opinfon and insisted that these coun tries did not acquire any rights of a coast- wise trade character along the route of the proposed canal, which territory was under the control of, or which might be ceded to the United States. The mere fact that C nadian or Mexicen territory extends from ocean to ocean would not give them the right to make demands for the generosity or busi- ness foresight of the United States Senator Spooner also contended that the United States would also have a right to control the canal in its own manner duriog any war in which this country might be concerned Senator Mason Interjected that treaty agreements never bind a nation to the ex- tinetion of its military rights and duties. Senator Spooner assented to this and sald no matter what might be the provisions of the treaty the natlon could not be accused of dishonor or immorality if its treaty is broken in defense of Its own exlstence. Make Favorable Repor The senate committee on isthmian canals today authorized a favorable report upon Benator Morgan's bill providing for the ac- quisition from Nicaragua and Costa Rica of the right of way via the Nicaragua route. Senator Morgan later presented this report to the senate, accompanying the return of the bill with a report upon the general subject of a canal across the Isthmus. Ac- tion on the bill providing for the construc- tion of the canal was deferred. In the senate today Mr. Allison from the committes on appropriations favorably reported the concurrent resolution adopted by the house providing for a hollday recess from December 19 to January 6, 1002, and it was agreed to Mr. Mason from the committee on manu- factures submitted a favorable report on a bill relating to the adulteration of food products and addressed the &ena briefly, criticlsing certain products which had come under the observation of the committes. On motlon of Mr. Lodge the senate at 1 p. m. went Into executiye ses- slon. Senator Morgan's report deals with many questions connected with the construction of the canal, Including a thorough inquiry futo the attitude of Great Britain upon the subject and the different canal routes, He also discuseed the relationship of the Pan- America Canal company to the construction by the United States of a waterway across the Isthmus. While he makes reference to a letter written by President Hutin of the Panama company to Secretary of State Hay he does not give the text of the communication. Mr. Morgan says that the first letter to Secretary Hay was dated November 22 last and that it was written after Admiral Wal- ker, as president of the commission, had closed his correspondence with M. Hutin relative to the eale of the Panama canal. President Hutin's Letter. He then adds: “The letter to Mr. Hay, with tho appendix thereto and the memo- randa that accompanies it, is an attack on the president of the commission replete with false assumptions and perversions ot fact and is evidently intended to create side lesue, the debate upon which, it is hoped by M. Hutin, will delay, it it does not defeat, the final action of congress in providing for the construction of any canal. “Ths proceeding, and the placing of this correspondenco in the hands of the presi- dent of the United States by M. Hutin, with a request that it be communicated to con- gross, 1n but a continuation of the presump- tous and offensive proposition previously made by the Panama Canal company. This company in a previous administra- tlon, had eucceeded in obtaining the resig- nation of a secretary of the navy to accept & nominal position In their service at a large salary and expended $1,600,000 in New York chlefly in acquiring the ald of the loading business houses in promoting the Do Lesseps plan with but a dollar of stock belng subscribed in that oity. The desperate financial struits of the new Panama Canal company compelled them to make overtures to the United States to un- 10ad thelr enterprise upon the United States and thelr agents became accordingly agkres- sive in this effort. Goes In History. The report then proceeds to quote a num- ber of communications from M. Hutin and bis attorneys to officers of this government In 1899 and 1900, which have heretofore been prin After quoting a letter from Sulllvan & Cromwell, attorneys for the Panama Caval coweany, directed to the president and dated \pril 30, 1900, in which they ask the preaident to advise congress of the attitude of the Panama company, the roport says The manifest purpose of this company, to Interfere with leglslation by asking the president to Inform congress of a state of acts as alleged, of which congress Is pro- sumably without knowledge, Is an insult to the Intelligence of congress. It i an insolent invitation to the president to con- trol the action of congress so that they #hall not act upon bills reported by com- mittees in both houses. Senator Morgan again refers to the let- ter (o Seoretary Hay of last November, ing that M. Hutin previousl had made an unmistakable proposal to sell the Pan- ama property to the United Siates, and sdding: Imputes Bad Fait Yet Mr. Hutln in his correspondence with Admiral Walker in his letter and in the accompanying memorandum sent to Mr, y first assumes and then tates and ues and finally insists that the United Statos offered to purchase their property und that when the company agreed to sel it the Isthmian canal commission refused 10 enter into a scheme of arbitration to ns- certain the value of it. He imputes had faith to the commission and severely criti- cises its dealings with the'canal company. Proceeding, the report says Admiral Walker did nothing more than ask legiti- | Tonight before retiring, i your liver ls h, out of tane and you feel dull, lous, constipated, take a dose ' Hood’s Pills And yowll be all right in the morning. | do a | mate questions of M. Hutin and that th was fn them no intimation of a proposition to purchase. In this connection Admiral Walker's letter of October 22 last to M Hutin fs published and this Senator Morgan says that “it utterly breaks down the pre tentfon of M. Hutin that the United States through Admiral Walker engaged in the effort to purchase the property of the Panama canal.” He adds that this letter dispels every possible criticiem of Admiral Walker and of the commission of which he 1a preeident. The letter the report accuses | M. Hutin of failing to send to the president The conclusion with reference to this point of the controveray is set forth in the fol- lowlug language Motdve for the Anxiets for this unseemly misconduct that this canal company is desperate in {ts purpose to unioad its prop- erty upon the United States because the rench tockholders have lost faith in its it I8 trying to prevent the canal with its Panama which they value The motlye | | | must be either wuccess or that competition of any railroad, th shares L , the face value bheing $100 per share on account of its enormous earnings. The introductory pages contain a general review of the Importance of the construction of an isthmian canal, and in the second paragraph of the report it is declared that “the failure to accomplish this work would create a feeling of national despair. Contending for the fmportance of the en- terprise, Senator Morgan urges that no na- tion nor any combination of private inter- ets can have any right to prevent its con summation. “There remains,” ho says, but one barrier to the union of the Atlan- tic and Pacific oceans and no one natloa has the right to declare that it never shall be removed except with its consent.” ot ¥ to Blame, He attributes the failure to construct the canal ifi the past to the attitude of other natlons, saying For the last fifty years the power and in- fluence of the British government, aided by combinations in the United Btates and France, has de American {sthmian canal Continuing in this line he says Antagonism, which is an {mperial policy of Great Britain in the beginning, has be- come a plan for gathering weaith' by levy ing_ tolls upon the commerce of Am and {ts strength of purpose will ‘ner until some more powerful and Just induc ment will lead Great Britaln to rel b and_permit take care country.

The scope and purpose of the Clagton- Bulwer (rs ty, as ‘ll was declared by lLord John Russell, made it the {nstrument of in- ustice and re sion to Nicara n, Costa Rica and other Central American states that had deprived them and wll Christen- lom of the benefits of an American Inter- :\lr.'::m! canal for more than a half century, In view of these facts, it Is cleal that an overruling necessity of imperial, commer- clal and military policy connected \'le‘ her policy as to the Suez canal forced Great iritaln to adhere to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as a means of preventing the con- struction of a canal through Nicaragua by the United States, while she would continue to hold the vantage ground of occupation and increasing authority in the territories of Nicaragua and Honduras, which she !v ad agreed to abandon. Her intention con- trol both canals was then evidently fixed. Held In Engla Contr He asserts that Great Britain's control of the Mosquito coast was used as a pre- tenso to hold us until it had accomplished its great policy relating to the Suez caual. “We were,” he said, “held in the leash by British rulers until they could accom- plish the control of the Suez canal.” He contends that Great Britain's policy from the beginning was simply a policy of delay and that both powers have abandoned the policy of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, of which, he declares, nothing remains *‘but an empty diplomatic technicality that must er Natlo of United States, Nicaragua and Costa Rica for their own safety and prosperity, and to the demands of the world for a gateway in Nlcaragua to correspond with that opened at Suez."” He declares that it diplomatic effort to rid the world of the baneful domination of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty fails, congress should abrogate it. The major portion of the report was made before the new Hay- Pauncefote treaty had been promulgated, but in an appendix the following reference is made to that treaty: Will Be a Mutual Blessing. It two-thirds of the sel with the government of Gr ostablishing an eftective basis upon which canal ships through the American lsthmus shall be operated, for the security and benefit of all nations, such agreement may well be considered as an advanced step ii a true civilization, honorable to both gov- ernments and_rich in blessings to mankind.

To Exclude Highbinders, At the meeting today of the spectal com- misslon of Pacific const senators and mem- bers who are devising a Chinese excluslon measure Mr. Coombs presented a number of suggestions in the form of amendments to tho bill presented by the immigration bureau. One of the amendments reach Chinese High Binders. It provides “Rvery notorious Chinese criminal, or Chinese, engaged in Inciting disorder or breaking the law, or terrorizing the com- munity, or whose general manner is agatnst the peace and order of any state or of the United States, or who belongs to any so- clety having such objects in view, shall be deemed to be unlawful in the United States and subject to deportation. Such facts shall be established by general reputation of such Chinese on the testimony of not less than two creditable witnesses other than Chinese.” Another amendment provides for keeping Chinese now in the Philippines or Hawall from coming to this country, as follows No Chinese being lawtully in Hawall or any of the Insular possessions of the United States shall be entitled to land or remain in the United States, or any territory of the United States, exclusive of the place where he is entitled to be.” These and other amendments of fmpor- tance in the legal proceedings for the de- portation of Chinese are now under consid- eration by the committee.

The police took Atheno into custody just after he had finished a six-days’ “sleep” here, at Mrs. McMan- igle’'s request, and he promised to provide for her as a husband should, When she was told that he had another woman with him at Omaha and was passing her off as his wife she became furious. She produced a marriage certificate showing that she had married McManigle in Brookiyn, N Y. She says she has been supported largely by the ald of her husband's father, who lives at Harper, Kam., since “Atheno” abandoned her two weeks ago. Chief Hayes referred the woman to Prose- cutor Hadley, and she will ask him for a warrant for her husband for abandonment tomorrow To the reporters of Kansas City papers Mre. McManigle sald her husband's alleged slx-days' sleep In Kansas City was a fake She sald he was supplied with air through the shaft that led down to his face in the coffin and that in the small hours of the morning she passed food down to him.

Then he sald “I do not know who the woman fs. Tha lady with us is my brother's wife and was married to him in New York three years ago. If my brother knows anything of the other woman he will tell it Saturday night when he awakens. As for this being a fake the people are to decide that.

This mandate compels a run- ning time between Omaha and Chicago not to exceed thirteen and one-half hours. The tkree are the Chicago & Northwest- ern, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and the Tllinois Central. None of the changes in time necessitated will equal an hour and most of them will vary from ten to thirty minutes, The fastest train which the Burlington now runs between Omaha and Chicago fs No. 6, leaving here at 7 o'clock in the morn- ing and arriviog in Chicago at 8:30 ~ m., thus being just within the time limit. There are some trains which make the from Chicago to Paclfic Junction at a rate faster than the onesset down, but these trains have poor connections to Omaha and do not come within the rule. Despite the fact that the order was not tssued till Wednesday cvening, the railrond offices herc were receiving mail instructions as soon as the early trains from the Windy City arrived yesterday. By 0 o'clock the Tilinois Central local office was in posses- sion of complete Instructions from head- quarters governing its sole change on trains actually running. That will be on No. 1, leaving Chicago at 6:25 p. m., which time will now be changed to 6:10 p. m. At this end another alteration will be established, the train arriying at 5:10 instead of 8:20 as formerly That makes it just five min- utes slower for the journey. The change goes into effect December 15, although the roads are allowed till December 31 to begin the new schedulos, On the Rock Island No. 25, leaving Chi- cago at 7:45 p. m. and reaching Omaha at 8:26 a.m., will require a longer timo service by fifty minutes. All other trains can be maintained on present schedules, but the new fast train planned must be abandoned. Two Nothwestern tralns from Chicago west will need slowing up. No. 1, leaving there at 8 p. m. and arriving in Omaha at 8:40 a. m., is fifty minutes below the limit, and No. 5, leaving there at 10 a. m, and arriving here at 11:10 p. m,, le twenty min- utes too fast. All trains on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul route are now within the limit on the Chicago-Omaha line, but this road will be compelled to make one change between Chicago and Minneapolis. It has been run- ning sleepers on mail trains between those points and the time wae considerably faster than the limit of eleven hours and fifty minutes set by the new schedule, Union Pacific passenger officials are’con- siderably disgruntled at the order. They do not relish the idea of compelling the Northwestern line to slow up’ both its fast trains west from Chicago simply because, as they say, “the other roads naven't good enough trackage to make the pace.” However, the feeling at Union Pacific headquarters is one of absolute independ- ence of the mandate, Oficlals eay they will not be compelled to change a single train on thelr line as @ result of it. This 18 because most of the changes in trains with which they connect will be made ar the Chicago end, the arrival here being about the same in all cases as it was be- fore. The slight alterations at this end can be counteracted by the use of some of the dead time now consumed at this point. “‘Anyway, supposing they do knock us out of an hour or so eventually at this end,” sald a passenger oficial of that lino yester- day morning, *'we can easily make It up on our way west and It will not change our time at Salt Lake City or the coast. We have lots of room to cut it off out that way, but we are the shortest now by some twelve hours, and what's the use It is the general opinlon of Omaha rall- road men that if the changes in time were to have any marked effect they would be felt mostly on the limited trains from here On all the lines these trains are the ones that carry the heavy business for connection with the roads running east east The Fire, Art and Music House is bigger t ment and the allowance for Musical Instruments, enabling us to big enough on the balance of this 1t's your opportunity of a life-tis EVERY KyAnp PIANO, MALLEY CLARK PIANO, s well a8 TWENTY other planos, g slze upright plano in fine veneer or don’t mar the finish), half price, one $108, a little better one for $178, $1§ ouly $10 down, only $5 per month this house, whose reputation has brand new Grand plano, worth $8 Plano and Organ Stools for 2oe, s0¢, emoke Some slightly damaged by smoke none enough to hurt tone or wear, is fully warranted $15.00 Washburn Mandolins at $18.00 Washburn Mandolins at $12.00 Burton Mandolins at $10.00 Burton Mandolins $0.00 Mayflower Mand $8.00 Mandolins at .00 Mandoling at $16.00 Burton Guitars at $12.00 Bgnary Gultars at Violin halt price, lins at Banjos some one-third off cordeons, from som in the Windy Clty between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning This leaves ample time for and transfer to the Wabash o'clock, the Nickle Plate at 10:25, the Grand Trunk at 11, the Michigan Central at 10:30. the Lake Shore at 10:30, the Baltimore & Ohlo at 10:20, the Pennsylvania at 10:05 and at noon, and the Monon at 11:30 Were the connections any closer viatfon fn the time of arrival at of these limited trains might have the cause of vast trouble, but as it is the overlap of time is ample for all slight de viations, and transcontinental business in both directions will proceed smoothly.
