Ha ana Says the Commerce of the Lakes Was Built Up by the Government. By telegraph to The Times. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. The Senate met at 11 a. m. Interest waa centered in Senator's Hanna's speech on the ship subsidy bill. Mr. Money offered a resolution direct ing the President to open negotiations with Great Britain for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and declar ing the sense of the Senate in favor of this action. The resolution was laid on the table. Mr. Hanna at 11:15 o'clock took the floor to begin his speech. Mr. Hanna said the subject was not a new one. It has often been brought to the attention of Congress. The gentleman from Geor gia, "Mr. Clay, it seemed to him, had ta ken occasion to question the motives of those who had the subject in charge. So far as he was concerned, he resented the imputation. Mr. Clay thought the Seantor was wrong. He did not mean to cast any im putation of improper motives. Mr. Hanna believed the gentleman from Georgia meant no reflection on him as a member of the Senate, but he must l:avo overlooked the fact that he (Hanna) was a member of the maritime commis sion which had investigated the question .i siu subsidy Mr. Hanna men proceeded to tell how (ho bill was prepared, the careful inves-. ligation into the question, the conflicting interests that had to be consulted, and declared that, as it stood now, the bill was believed to be the most practical measure to build up the merchant marine that could be devised. He described the Immense growth of the shipping inter csts on the great lakes and said it could not have been achieved without the pro tection afforded that commerce in Its infancy by the United States govern ment. The opportunity to engage in that l mile was confirmed to citizens of thiR country and the harbors on the lakes were improved at the expense of the gov ernment. As a result more steamers of xroater size had been built, and conse quently transportation rates had been rec.ut.ert. What was true of commerce '"mi the lakes would be also true of sim ilar commerce elsewhere. Our ships now carry only nine per cent, or less, of our foreign trade. Barly in the century they were carrying more than 70 per ' cent. IN THE HOVSK. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.

THE niV TDEITVmfTNE TW REBTPl llili UHI -IlLiill It Will Not be Ratified Ex cept by Votes of Southern Democrats ANXIOUS TO GET CANAL Senator Morgan and Others Will Agree to Almost Anything to Have the Big Ditch Cut. By telegraph to The Times. WASHINGTON, Dec. 111. It is a cu rious fact, considering the general Democratic attitude, that if the Huy Paiineefote Treaty shall be ratified at all this session, it will be bv menus of Democratic votes. A leading Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senut.' in culling attention today to this anomaly said: "The treaty would, in my opinion, fail of ratifica tion altogether if it Were not for Southern Democratic Senutois. They are so anxious to secure the construc tion of the isthmian canal that they are willing to sink their antagonism to the treaty in order that, by getting it out. of the way, an obstacle to the canal may be removed. I hiysclg don't like the treaty, but am going to swal low it. Hut neither they nor 1 will vote it. But neither they nor f will vote for it, without, the Davis amendment or something like it." The lavis amendment will be voted on late toduv. The amendment is to the following effect: "That nothing in the preced ing sections shall apply to measures which the United States may find it necessary to take for securing, by its own forces, the defense of the I'nited States, and the maintaining of public order."
