CONGRESS-.
The Nicaragua Canal Question
Before the HOuse.

nsAOIe tine mousse
WASHINGTON, October 5.-The House
proceeded to the consideration of private
| business.
The point of no quorum was raised
against the first bill called up, and fol
three. quarters of an hour business was
at a standstill h ,wever, motion was
agreed to for adjournment to-day until
Monday. Then the wheels OF legislation
revolved without friction until Kilgore,
OF Texas, called up the House bill to in
corporate the Maritime Canal Company
of Nicaragua. There were five objections
and under the rules the bill could not be
placed before the House.
Several private bills having next been
disposed OF in Committee OF the Whole,
McRae of Kansas called up the Senate
bill to incorporate the Maritime Canal
Company of Nicaragua.
Culbertson, of Texas, offered an
amendment providing that nothing in
this act shall be held or construed in any
manner to involve the United States in
any pecuniary obligation whatever, other
than in respect to the payment OF tolls.
Phelan, of Tennessee, offered an
amendment providing that the canal
shall be under control and protection Of
the United States, in order that the re-
presentatives of all the North and South
American people may be guarded against
any infringement or aggression on the
part of foreign nations; also that the
tolls shall be equal on the same class OF
tonnage for vessels OF all nations, except
as provided in Article 54 of the conces-
sions and DEGREES of the Republic Of
Nicaragua Canal Association of New
York; also that the United States Gov
ernment binds itself to protect all the
rights of citizens by said concessions,
and DEGREES and guarantees the neutral
lily of said canal and it's operations under
crees, subject to the consent and approval,
by treaty or otherwise, of the countries
through which the canal may be con-
Culbertson opposed Phelan's amend
ments; if they were adopted, said he,
the Government would have to keep a
standing army in Nicaragua to protect
the rights Of the corporation.
Phelan replied that the gentleman rad
ically misapprehended the terms of the
They were drawn for the
purpose of preventing the result which
the gentleman was apprehensive might
ensue. They had been drawn in careful
conformity of the utterances of the State
Department from Grants administration
to the present time.
Fuller, of Iowa, said he did not intend
to permit the bill to 60 through without
q quorum.
Phelan, in order not to imperil the
passage of the bill, withdrew his amend.
ments and the Culbertson amendment
was agreed to. The bill being in COM
mittee of the whole, the question was
put of reporting the bill favorably to the
House. The vote resulted, 33 to 6, and
Fuller made the point of no quorum.
The Committee then rose and the House
took a recess until evening.
The House at the evening session
passed twenty seven private pension bills
and adjourned.
