Denounces It as Greatest Fraud

WOULD DEFILE GOVERNMENT
Adwx-utfM Construction of Canal
by the Mcaragnan Route
Leave Corruption
Alone,
WASHINGTON, June 7. After trans
acting some routine business and d!s
cuwing for some time a bill to reUev
ships from London dock charges, tha
senate resumed consideration today of
ihe Isthmian canal prjwt. v Mitchell,
of Oregon, conUnued his pech begun
Thursday In opposition to the Panamu,
route. After considering the engineer
ing difficulties of the route, which he
regarded as very serious. He entered
upon a denunciation of the methods
of the Panama ?anal Company, which
he declared was the most corrupt In
the history of the world. He warned
congress that no surer -ay could be
found to defeat the construction cf any
canal than to adopt the Spooner
amendment, as the United State could
have no connection with the Panama
route without beco.nlng Involved in in
tricacies of French adventurers, from
which it would find It Impossible to
extricate itself. He declared that ny
connection this country might have
with the Panama proposition would re
sult in definltement -;f the government.
Mlicneil nauaiea.wiinv.il &iuvr iim
proposition to build the canal by the
Panama route, and Incidentally tha
Spooner amendment, , 3y admission ot
this proposition, he Mfl: .
"The United States would be tack
ing onto one of the greatest frauds
and pieces o? corruption known since
the world began."
He could not believe, he laid, that
the senate proposed to consider ser
iously a proposition which r ill Involve
the United State in a legal controver
sy for hundred years. " I want the
senate to know the fact .and to de
termine whether we really shall take
up this rotten concern across the c."-
Mitchell expnwed the opinion that
the enactment of the Spooner amend
ment would result in a postponemint
of the beginning of the canal project,
as the president would probably have
to make indesicndent investigation ot
the subject Wore he could pass upon
It. He urged congress to, assunne the
responsibility of detiarin? k route an4
not turn that responsibility ever to
ihe provident. He Intimated that such
action would be cowardly. He suggest
ed the possibility that It the United
States would construct the canal by
the Nicaragua route, the completion of
which would be disastrous to the Unit
ed States.
