Yellow Jack Puts In an Appearance at

Sheridan Improving Flashes and Briefs.

WASHINGTON, August 3-Mr. Cullom
brought up his resolution In the Senate
to-day insiructing the Committee on In
ter-State Commerce to ascertain II any
railroads operated In this country are
owned by Canadians.
Mr.. Cullom said it was imperative for
the protection of American interests that
some steps he taken to protect the en-
croachment of Canadian corporations.
He explained that number OF railways
in the Northwest were owned by Cana
dian capital, and were In fact only feeders
for trunk lines, diverting trade to Cana
da. The Canadian Government also sub
sidized British steamship lines between
Vancouver and China, to the extent OF
$500, 900 or $4O0, 900 per year, and the re,
suit is that ~ per cent. OF the tea con-
sumcd by the United States Is brought
over the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that there was an
other article Of importation these vessels
brought, to wit. Cinnamon from Hong.
Kong, at the rate of 1000 per month, who
landed in British Columbia and thence
swarmed down into the United States.
Mr.. German said that the Canadian
Pacific Railroad was using money-not
of subsidy fund of ten million dollars
civen bv the Canadian Government-to
build roads in Maine. Vermont and other
border States, under charters obtained by
American corporations He read a lis,
OF the officers of the Canadian Pacific
and reads the names Of Levi p. Merton
and William l.. Scott of Pennsylvania as
directors in the road. Mr. German
arraigned the Republican party severely
for allowing the Canadians to cross
Niagara Falls in 1866 and perpetuating
the grant again in 1871.
He made an earnest appeal to the Sen
ate TO cast aside party political feeling
for the time and take this matter up ant
handle it in manner to protect Ameri
can interests.
The resolution was then adopted.
A favorable report was made on thu
bill to increase the police force OF thu
District.
On motion Of Mr.. Hoar, and by ,
strictly party vote of "a to 90, the Senate
agreed TO meet at II o'clock until furthe
notice.

ernor Green of New Jersey, announcing

the consideration of a concurrent resolu
tion, giving the thanks of Congress t

THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.

Sure of Passing II 1t Can be Called Up.
WASHINGTON, August 3-Notwith-
standing the delay in the passage of the
bill to incorporate the Nicaragua Mari
tine Company, there is yet fair proba-
bility that ii may become a law before the
close of the present session. The bill, 1t
will be remembered, passed the Senate
after a brief debate and with practical
unanimity Its principal champion there
was Mr.. Edmunds, although many of the
Democratic leaders were equally earnest
in its support Since the bill came over
TO the House il has encountered more
than the usual run of i'll luck.
The first dav set apart for its con-
sideration was lost by the adjournment
of the House owing to the death OF Chief
Justice Waite. Next it was decided to
consider the bill at one of the night ses.
sions, but the date on this occasion fell
within the period of the deadlock and
the Direct Tax bill and so its cOnsidera-
ton was a second time postponed.
It's now on the calendar waiting to be
called up If it can be got before the
House it will pass by good round
majority. Unfortunately .he Pensions
Committee, who are DESTROYS Of passing
their Arrears OF Pension bill, with its
$40 900 0n0 steal from the Treasury De-
partment, will not permit the Nicaragua
bill to come up until their own has been
considered 1t is very probable, however
that the Committee on Rules, the ma
iority of which is favorable to the Canal
bill, will give it another opportunity tt
be heard some time during the present
month.

ford, 307 East Grace street. He has re-
Gently visited the Northern cities in be.
half of the Sesman's Bethel in New Or
leans, and has been happily received by
the ministers there, and has done noble
work for their destitution.
As chaplain Of the Upper Seamans
Bethel at New Orleans. he has become
widely known not only in the United
States. but in England and other foreign
countries. and his services as the organ
izer Of the work has won the recognition
and thanks OF the American and British
governments. The value Of the work
may be estimated when it is known that
nearly $4,000 sailors visit New Orleans
yearly, and that the police of that city
attribute the absence of drunkenness
among sailors to the nightly services Of
the Bethel Besides Offering social at
fractions, the Bethel. which was opened
in 1873, furnishes religious instruction,
services being held Sunday and Wednes
day nights. Connected with the institu-
zion is a concert hall, reading room. a
,eaman's home, with parlors, dining room
and dormiiories, and the TOuro lnfirm.
airy, which is literally sustained by the
Jewish people Of the CITY, and where
eighly-twO seamen were treated lat year.
The newspaper notices of this work
are very many, and all speak In the high
est terms of the good which II has ac
complisbed.
DR. Witherspoon will fill the pulpit Of
First Presbyterian Church tomorrow
morning and will Sunday afternoon
preach at the Second Presbyterian tDr.
Hoge's). a sermon which will set forth
the great work OF this sailors mission.
He is an orator and he will be heard from
the pulpit by large congregation at
each church, especially as the cause he
advocates is a good one.
The entire building, the lot on which
il is built, and its endowment had no
existence few years ago. Now it is a
success, and Dr. Witherspoon has good
