Congress.

WASHINGTON, March I'm the Senate
to-day Dolph, in presenting petitions
from his State favoring Government aid
for the Nicaragua Canal, said he was
urgently i'll favor of such legislation.
Dolph regarded it as the most important
public question that is now, or that has
been in the last quarter of century, be-
fore Congress and before the American
people. He was not sanguine as to the
ability of the canal company to secure
the construction and completion of the
canal, and he wished to see the United
States at the head of the matter. First.
because he desired to have the canal
speedily constructed; second, because he
desired that, when constructed, it should
be under the control of the United States:
and, third, because he desired the canal
to be capitalized only at its actual cost.
The value of the canal, when constructed
to the people of the Pacific Coast and to
the people of the United States would
depend largely on the amount for which
the company was capitalized. He there
fore, was earnestly in favor of Govern
ment aid to secure the early completion
of the canal.
The Idaho election case was then taken
up.
Villas argued in favor of Dubois. and
Teller, who was to close the debate, said
he did not care to weary the Senate any
