Hepburn and Morgan canal bills spark congressional push
The Hepburn bill aims to fund and authorize a US controlled canal work with wartime defense harbors while Morgan seeks a wartime board model. The debate contrasts broader simpler terms versus a defined board approach as tensions grow over the Isthmus project. England’s long opposition and Claytons-Bailers treaty legacy are noted, with the Senate and House moving toward early canal legislation in January 1902.
