Senate Debates Isthmian Canal Legislation
Washington June 12 The Senate resumed consideration of the Isthmian canal question after an hour and a half on the London dock charges bill. Senator Morgan of Alabama spoke for three and a half hours on diplomacy, then fought an amendment by Senator Fairbanks to issue bonds for canal construction. He argued the cost should come from current receipts and opposed the Panama route and the new Panama company’s concessions. The House adopted a special rule for irrigation bill debate, with five minute amendments planned. Speeches supported the bill from Mondell Tongue Tirrell and Shallenberger. Ray argued against it. Olmsted offered a humorous reply to Cushman.
