The Senate committee on foreign re-
lations has been considering the ques-
ton of the ownership and control
of the Nicaragua canal, and behind
the closed doors of the committee
room in executive session, has nearly come
TO an agreement on proposition of mag
nifcent proportions. 1t is that the United
States guarantee the bonds of the canal
company to the extent of 500, 600 900, and
that considerable purchases be made in
order 10 give this government the control
of the canal. A bill embodying these CEN
tral facts, with considerable detail, has
been prepared, ard is said TO have the in
dorsemsnt OF at least g majority of the
committee.

and its purchases TO obtain control OF the

sition has been kept as quiet as possible.
