 "Am Brudder Blue Glass Henderson Tn de hall tonight ?" blandly inquired the President, as he stood up and looked around.
 "Yes, sah."
 "Will he please step dis way ?"
 The brother stepped. He didn't seem to be easy in his mind, and he kept his eyes on the cohfee-pot once owned by the poet Milton instead of facing the President.
 "Brudder Henderson, you war in a butcher-shop on Beaubien street las' Wednesday fo'noon ?"
 ''Yes, sah."
 "When you went out de butcher missed two slices of ham, an you war follered an sarched."
 "Yes, sah.'

lNrERoCEANIC CANAL PROJECTS.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE PANAMA AND IN FAVOR
or THE NICARAGUA CANAL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The House Committee on
Foreign Affairs had another hearing this morning on
the subject of the iDterOceanic canal and the Mon
roe Doctrine, and was addressed by Dir. S. l.. Phelps
as representative Of the Nicaragua Canal Company.
The point of Mr.. Phepss argument was the danger
to be apprehended from the subjects Of foreign
power gaining footnold on the American continent
which would give to their government the right of
interfering for the protection Of their rights; and
he cited the case of the East India Company, which
began as a commercial enterprise, and ended in
making the Queen OF England the Empress Of India
as a striking example of that tendency The United
States Government, he claimed. should control any
canal across the Isthmus and he urged in that
connection the superior advantages of the Mica
ragua project.
Mr.. Hill asked whether the idea was that the
Government should furnish the capital, OF guaran-
tee bonds for the construction of the work.
Mr. Phelps replied that 1t would be desirable for
the Government to become a subscriber at once for
one half of the capital STOCK to be able always
10 maintain control Of it, and prevent it being taken
up abroad
Mr.. Hill instanced the case Of the Pacific roads,
themselves through the Credit Moblier; and asked
whether, II the Government were TO furnish half
the cost of constructing the canal the result would
not be clear swindle upon the Government to that
extent { whether the leading men of the company
would not 80 manage by their estimates contracts.
ETC., throw practically the whole expense upon
the Government.
Mr. Phelps replied nat the Nicaragua Govern;
ment was to have one director In the board. and
that the United States Government il 1t owned one
half the stock would have Ave directors; and that
these SIX Hould constitute majority OF the dlrec
tors by whom the interests of the Government
would be watched and guarded.
The hearing Is to be closed next Thursday, when
MIR. Thompson is to finish his argument
