Agai- ll Ill-ole.
WasaIIe-ron, Dec. 10. --'l‘he feature at
lhe senate was a speech by Senator Nor.
ran of Alabama. chairman of the com-
mittee on foreign relations find a member
oi the Paris Bering sea tribunal, upon a
resolution offered by him last week in-
structing the foreign relations committee
to investigate the question of the liability
of the United States for the seizures of
British ships in Bering sea in 1890. Mr.
Morgan took the position in the last cou-
gress that the settlement of those claims
by the payment of a lump sum oi OI25,~
000. as recommended by the president,
was neither wise nor proper. His ro-
marks on that occasion were the subject
, of some sarcastic comment from tho Brit~
lsh ambassador hero in the latter‘s olilcial
correspondence with Lord Kimberly.
That correspondence was printed recently
from the British Blue Book. and most of
Mr. Morgan's speech peas devoted to pay-
ing his respect-I to Sir .lnlinn Pauncciote.
Commenting with much severity upon
fir Julian Paunccfote'a statement to Karl
Kimberly. that "strong party feeling"
alone accounted for the rejection by con-
gress of the lump sum arrangement, the
vote thereon being made up of Republic-
ans, Populiars and «ill Democrats, Mr.
Morgan proceeded to show once more
RITFL’S W. PTCI‘KHAM.
from the facts presented in the American
counter case that ton of the vessels for
which damages Wul'o claimed wage actual-
ly owned, either in whole or in part. by
citizens of the United States. and that
therefore no damages could be due to
them from this government.
Replying to SirJIIllan'a statement that
his (Mr. Morgan's) “vituperativo epi-
thets" in applying the term "rnscnliy" to
the tronsonnble conduct of those citizens
were quite unmcritcd nnIl bascd one mis-
taken view of the British navigation
laws Mr. Morgan said:
"It never-recurred to me to examine
the British navigation lows to ascertain
whether they justified our citizens in vio-
lating the laws of tho l'nited Stun-c. l
would as soon think of looking into tho
Koran for excuses for violating the Chris-
tian dccnloguo. Sir Juiinnabould cite us
to higher authority than the llritisb novi-
gntion laws for the justification of crime
against the lawn of the United Slates.
What control has Great Britain in lit-ring
scn through her navigation lows more
than the United States has with her crim-
innl statutes. find how can British statute-
in those waters have force and away to
excuse crimes ugninst tho lTIIitI-Ii Mates
committed by ln-r own clti7cns?"
iiu- l-‘eit ltesentful.
1n concluding. hlr. Morgan snail; re-
turned to his nssuult on the British I‘m-
bossndor for his rough criticism of him-
solf. of which be I-‘nid lIIrwns perhaps "lln‘
becomingly cornice-r. "
"But l do iccl resentful." snid hc. “that
instead of furnishing his complaints to
the president he gnvo them out to tho
American press at the opening of congress
with a view ofdispelllng the misappro-
hcnsion in the American public mind. it
seems, however," he added in his most
sarcastic vein, “that nftcr Sir Julian had
buried the under his pondorous logic last
March. Lord Kimberly thought it neces-
sary to albums my remains in order to
give the American people a much needed
tonic of Great Britain' a sense of honor to
brace it up sufficiently to induce congress
to vote the ‘lnmp sum' by which ltlnglnnd
seeks to put a technical estoppol on an in-
vestigation oi the justito oi the damages
demanded. "
Mr. Morgnn’ a resolution, which was as
followe, was unanimously ndoptcd at the
conclusion of his speech.
"Resolved. That the message of the
president received by the senate on Feb.
15 and his message read in the senate to‘
ment by the United States of the claims
of Great Britain arising out of the Bering
sea controversy he referred to tho commit-
tee on foreign relations, with instructions
'that said committee cxnmlno into the
question of such liability on the part of
Great Britain or Canada arising out oi
said controv crsy, and that said committee
shall have authority to report by bill or
otherwise."
Peckltasn'a Nomination Confirmed.
At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan‘s
speech and the adoption of the resolution
the senate went into exermtive session and
confirmed the nomination of Rufus W.
Peckhnm of New York to be associate
justice oi the supreme court of the l'nitcd
States, vicc Howell E. Jackson, dcccnscd.
The senate; in cxcdutivc session, also
confirmed the following nominations: W.

The Republican Caucus"
The Republican caucus committee of
the senate was in session for three bourif,
but adjourned without completing its new
signuicnt of committee membership. The
work accomplished is only tentative. but
so far as it has progressed it has confirmed
the forecast of chairmanship assignments
already given in these dispatches.
In addition to those places it is now
practically decided that h‘cnntor ’l'ollor
will become chairman of the committee
on claims, Senator llnnsbrough on l.brn-
ry, Senator Gnlliuger on pensions and
Senator Shoup on pntcnts. There has
been an exchange of places by which Son-
ator (‘nmI-ron takes n xncmbcrship place
on foreign relations and Senator Wolcott
the plum on finance. which was conceded
to Mr (' anieron lit-fore he announced his
intentions not to stand for rc- clection to
the senate. There is n probability that
this committee will be increased by the
addition of only one member. This in-
crease is to lie mndo to give the Republic-
ans an opportunity to put n silver mun
and nntisilver mun on the committee.
Senator Jones of Nevada is to be allowed
to retain his place. but as n Populist and
not as a'Ropubiicnn, ns heretofore.
This arrangement will give the Repub-
licans six members. the Democrats five
and the Populism one. (in financial (Ines-
tions the committee will stand 7 to 5 in
favor oi sliver. it is about settled that
the appropriations committee will nlso be
inch-need from U to ll members. This
will enable Senator Brice to retain his
place on the committee and will give the
Republicans two appointments tbcro.
Senator Pcttigrcw will receive one of
those. and the other will go either to Sen-
ator Quay or to II Pacific (lililil'. man. The
