Gen. Casey Opposed to the Passage OF
the Bill Before Congress.


the Bill Before Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Senate
committee on commerce has received re-
ports from the interior and war depart
ments upon the bill introduced by Senator
Pasco 10y requestl to incorporate the At
lantic, Mexican Gulf and Mississ ippi River
Barge Canal Company and to grant it a
right of way through landsof the United
States and waters, with admiralty jurisdic-
ton thereof along its route. The canal
is projected TO start at or near New Or
leans, thence run through Lake Borgne or
Lake Ponchartraln, over the open waters of
the inland coast of the Gulf of Mexico to
st. Marks, Fla, and thence TO a point on
the Atlantic ocean upon a route between
the 29th and 3lst degree of north latitude to
be hereafter determined.
REPLIES OF THE DEPARTMENTS.
The interior department was asked to say
how much of the lands would be required
for the right of way Commissioner Croft
writes that it will be impossible even to ap-
proximate the amount until the line of the
route is furnished by the company. Even
then he says the location may be changed.
and the right of way will follow the loca-
ton.
The war department was asked for its
views upon the construction of the canal
under the terms of tho bill Gen Casey.
chief of engineers, responds that the pro-
visions Of the section granting a right of
way are so general in their terms that the
interests of the United States are not prop
erly protected. The passage of the bill is
not recommended.

dation that tho men accused be prosecuted.

LAND PURCHASE In ERIN.
THE IRISH MEMBERS OPPOSED TO
BALFOUR'S BILL

Mr.. Sexton Declares the Proposed
Guarantees Unjust and in Danger OF
Proving Illusory-Ihe Bulk OF the
GladStonians Against the Measure.
The Conservatives For 1t.
LONDON, March 26.-A number Of men,
bers of the House of Commons were inter-
viewed in the lobby to-day with reference
to the land purchase bill The bulk of the
conservatives aud unionists approve the
measure.
Mr.. Waring, conservative member for
county Down, said he believed that the
Ulster landlords we're in no hurry to sell
their estates. As far as he himself was
concerned. he should insist that the tenants
should bring three years. rent in their
hands before he consented TO sell.
I. w. Russell, liberal-unionist member
for Tyrone, thinks the bill is an ideal one
for Ulster and is likely to work well.
Mr.. ChamberlaiE and Lord Randolph
Churchill reserved their opinions.
SEXTON AGAINST IT.
Mr.. Sexton, home rule member for Bel
fast, criticised the bill in detail. He be-
lieved that the coercion act, preventing as
it does combining of tenants would enable
lhDutOTuS 10 secure bnb twenty
years price, especially as they could insist
upon two years arrears. lie said that Sec
rotary Balfour himself admitted that the
true price OF money was SO; therefore, his
charging in order TO retain one-quarter to
provide against defaulters was most unjust.
THE GUARANTEES UNJUST.
The proposed guarantees, besides being
unjust to ireland, would prove illusory to
the British taxpayer in the event of a repe-
tition of the economic crisis of 1870 and
1880.
DIR. Tanner, home ruler, says the bill is
clearly drafted In the interests OF the land
lords. All the other Parnellito members
held similar views
Sir Charles Russell snid he would approve
no land purchase scheme unless accom-
panied by home rule measure.
Tho ex-ministers withhold their opinions.
The bulk OF Gladstonians disapproved the
bill, the radicals objecGng on tie ground
that the guarantees are worse than those in
the Gladstone scheme.
