TREATY
CONSIDERED I rofl-MPH-ff nil NEWS
in foeiutive Session by the United States
'J
Special to the Leader.
Washington, D. C, Dec. G. The Sen
atetoday transacted no business of
Importance in open session. Thorough
out'aimost tho entire afternoon, it was
in executive session. The ship subsidy
bill, therefore, received no considera
tion. .
The entire time of the executive- ses
slon.i,was devoted to a discussion by
Senator Morgan of tho Hay-Paunce-
forte treaty for the abrogation of the
position of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
which relates to the Nlcaraguau canal.
The Senator made It very plain that
while he is not opposed to the impend
ing treaty, his principal concern In
that connection Is for tho passage of
tho canal bill, and he allowed It to be
understood that he had engaged In the
treaty discussion because ot his con
viction that there are 1 majority of
Senators who will Insist upon action
upon tho treaty as a condition prece
dent to the passage of tho canal bill.
For this reason, he said, he was will
ing to discuss the treaty. He intimat
edxprtvately to other Senators, how
ever, that he would not consent to fix
ing the time for a vote upon the treaty
until there also could be a time fixed
for like action uron the canal bill.
Inthe course of his speech, he said
he did not in reality consider that the
treaty need have any special bearing
upon the bill and that he believed it
competent for the United States to
proceed with tho building of tho canal,
regardless of the ticaty, or of- Great
Britain's wishes in the matter; but
to satisfy other Senators and also to
meet 'the wishes of tho Seqretary of
State, , ho would consent to a motion
upon the treaty, and do all ho coul'd
for iti He would vote for an agree
ment whether it should be amended or
not, though he would prefer that there
should bo no amendment.

Were the Speeches
in Parliament
MR CHAMBERLAIN
Was the Target of the Fiery
Orators
AND HE CALLED ONE A "CAD"
Fifteenth Parliament in the Reign of Queen
Victoria.
By Associated Tress.
London, Dec. 7. The fifteenth Par
liament in the reign of Queen Victoria
opened yesterday. Almost every lead
ing politician spoke on the opening
day with such fierce personal animos
ity and such bitter. Invective speeches
as scarcely ever before marked the
proceedings at Westminster.
Jos. Chamherlain, Secretary of State
for tho Colonies', was the center of the
storm. Tho policy of the emoire re
garding South Africa and China, the
action of the government In causing
dissolution when It did, the conduct of
tho war against the Boers, and In fact
all questions vitally affecting the em
pire wero gravely discussed and ex
plained, but dominating all was the op
position and hatred of the Colonial
Secretary.
For an hour this target of satire and
abuse, sat with his head on one slds
listening intently, unmoved by groans
or cheers. Sir Hsnry Campbell In a
bold manner, spoke his notes in Cham
'bcrlala's fac-o. and declarc'd that the
man who publishes private letters for
political purposes (referring to the
Clark-Ellis rorretuondence) would be
excluded from the society of all honor
able men, and ostracized for life had
he re-crted to such action as a pri
vate Individual.
It was nearly 11 o'clock when he
rose ti reply to the avalancho of at
tack launched asainst him. He de
nied that he ever accused Ellis of be
ing a tr.-.itor. Ho denied also that he
decried any accusations against his
own personal integrity. He declared
that the special purpose of the meeting
of Parliament had been forgotten in
an attack upon himself. Irritated be
yond control by fiequent Interrup
tions and disturbances, he called one of
the Liberals, amid groat excitement,
a "cad." The speaker called him to
order, and Mr. Chamberlain withdrew
the epithet, apologizing for Its use.
After defending the publication of tho
Ellis correspondence, ho was cut off
by the midnight adjournment.
Among other leading features of the
opening session was Balfour's announ
cement that no member of tho Cabinet
ever said, and that he had never
dreamed that tho oBer Rneslclub ETA
would remain permanently under tho
Crown Colony form ot government.
That restricted phase of liberty, de
clared Balfour, will only bo necessary
as a temporary expedient.
