4Decial to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-Anothsr day has been
consumed In the House by consideration of the
Nicaragua canal bill The measure, however.
has taken such shape that it must be finally
acted upon when it comes up again on the 4th Of
January. The House has been considering it,
mp to the present in committee Of the whole,
but just before it adjourned. this afternoon, As
committee arose, reported the measure to ts,s
House with favorable Recommendation, ana
agreed to pass finally upon the several amsnd-
ments two weeks from next Friday. Chairman
Clardy OF the committee on commerce, who has
charge Of the measure. says the bill will pass
by a very large majority, and that the amend
ments made to it will not materially affect tie
aims of the corporation.
During the debate Colonel Oates, Of Alabama,
indulged in some sensational war .alk. He
stated that while not very well posted on ell Of
the details of the bill, he favored it, and ad-
vancsd the very original reason for it that possi-
bly, the United States governments deep inter
est in the Nicaragus canal might involve il with
some foreign power in war. Colonel Oates took
the ground that foreign var would be real
blessing 20 this country. That is,' said he. "a
war that would not be too expensive. Not until
the North and South have Joined hand in hand,
and on o common field of battle have resisted .
common foe, will the talk of sectionslism cease.
II there should be lively foreign war, the firm
bond of union which would thereby be es.ab-
lished would be we'll worth the expense and the
outlay of treasure ard blood"
Mr.. Herbert. OF Alabama. chairman Of tha
naval committee, stated that he shared the
views of his colleague. He said that he courted
complications with foreign nations. He followed
out the same line Of argument-that foreign
war would be q blessing in disguise. He. too,
said that not until the South, by her loyalty on
the field OF battle, fighting for the stars and
stripes had testified with her blood IL necessary,
her devotion to the Union would the past be
forgotten by the North. The sentiments ex-
pressed by these men. both prominent ex-con-
