Washingicm, (Manch 6. The proceed
ing's of tlie senate today were less to
Roosevelt's liklnig- tShat the preceding
day. The scrap over the cios-ure rule
was not renewed. When the rule was
-called up no one offered to debate It
and it was referred to the omnmittee
on rules. From the iraamient thi action
was taken Roosevelt apparently lost
all interest in the proceedings and at
the close of the morning hour he with
drew and wasn't seen again until just
before adjooimment, when lie resumed
the chair.
Morgan was the attraction today. In
a speech in advocacy of his resolution
declaring the Clayiton-iBulwer itsreaty
abrogated, he vigorously attacked End
land's attitude in connection with that
document. He vehemently asserted
that there would be no compromise on
the treaty and the only thing that
Americans would consent to do would
be to kill it. England didn't want the
Nicaraguan canal ibullt he declared1, be
cause it would' dimSntoh the flow of
gold into her ctofiPers from the Suez ca
nal. , In' 'an impassioned voice he said that
if England wanted further delay she
would not 'get it and if she tried to pick
a quarrel about the canal she would be
accommodated .
The United 'States, he went on tk say,
icould imiuster flighting men to at least
half the ammlber of those "who voted in
the last presidential election and when
the war terminated England would find
the steel band, which passed through
Canada, binding throne with Australia
and India, severed and rcvlth it the
collapse of her empire. Morgan hadn't
finished when the senate went into ex
ecutive session and shortly after ad
journed. "I hop-,' said he in conclusion; "that
some fair amendment to the rules may
foe devised toy which there can be a
reasonable (not an unreasonable) 'limit
placed on debate."
IMr. Teller said hie hod no desire to
enter objection to the reference of the
amendment to the committee on rules.
Tihat was the roroDer place for it. He
inquired, however, whether there was
any expectation on the part of the ma
jority to do anything more during the
present session than executive (busi
ness. Pending an answer to that question,
Vitee President Koosevelt announced in
low ibut distinct tones that the proposed

Tellerf, Mr. Hale (Me.) disclaimed any

PREVENT FUTURE OUTBREAKS
IN TOE HOUSE OF COMMONS
London, iMarch 5. -As-a result of last
night's outbreak in itine iwuse of com
mons, Balfour offered an amendment
to the rules today providing that any
member or members refusing to obey
!
was one declaring the Clayton- Bui wer
(treaty abrogated.
Af ter the routine of morning business
had 'been transacted Mr. Morgan ad
dressed the senate upon, his resolution.
He said he would exclude (from his
argument any consideration of the Pan
ama canal commission. The only pros-g-ua
canal now 'by the United States
rested on the protocols which had bten
entered into between .this country an
the governments of Nicaragua and Cos
ta Rica.
He challenged any senator to point
to a single proposition which Greot
Britain had made for such a modi
fication in the iClayton-Bulwer treaty as
would admit of the construciiou of the
-Mcamgua canal. No su.n action, ne
said, had evej- been taken by Great
Britain. During! tne time wnen
Americans, were "hugging to their
bosoms" 'the- delusion mat uivni
Rriitaiiai eventually would enter upon a
friendly arrangement for the construc
tion of the canal, Great Britain mai
preserved "a profound' and golden
silence." He called silence "golden toe
cause., he asserted, Great Britain,
through Liverpool, which was 'the com
mercial center of the world, was being
enriched ajid the United States, be
cause of the lack of ifihe Nicaragua
canal, 'was contributing 'to the enrich
ment of Great BTitain.
iPhiere cannot toe anything more
precious today to Great Britain." said
Mr. Morgan, "than to prevent the con
