The NICARAGUA CANAL.
Senator Sherman Favorably Reports
the Guarantee Bill.
SlOo,OOO.OOO WILL BE GIVEN
Cincinnati and Philadelphia Centers OF the
sweating system-Net Gold Loss Dur
ing Ten Days. -Js6. .I2o,sif, says the
Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Nicaragua
canal bill, which has held the attention OF
the foreign relations committee since the
beginning OF the session, has at last been
completed and was yesterday favorably
reported by its author, Senator Sherman,
who gave notice in the Senate that he
would call II up at an early date and en-
deayor to secure prompt action upon IL.
The new bill Is drawn on substantially
the same lines az the bill reported from
the committee 10 the last Congress, in
cluding as ii does a proposition to guar
antee bonds OF the company to the extent
of s100, 0,00O, 900 10 aid in the construction
OF the canal.
The new bill, however, contains some
additions which materially increase the
obligations of the company as well as the
security OF the government. For instance,
in the second section the real and
personal property and franchise OF the
company are included in the liabilities.
In the third section il is provided that
all of the stock heretofore subscribed for
or issued shall be called in and cancelled
that all bonds issued shall be redeemed
aud cancelled and that all outstanding
obligations shall be satisfied before the
act takes effect. The dates are changed so
rs to make the bonds issued Jan. l, lS9e
and to make them mature in 1855 instead
of 1911, as proposed in the original; and
they are also made redeemable at The
treasury OF the United States after 1903

THE SWEATING SYSTEM

Most Prevalent In Philadelphia and Cin-
cinnati-Law Enforced In Boston.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The sub-com-
mittee OF the House manufactures com
mittee, which is investigating the sweat
ina system, yesterday gave hearing to
several witnesses from Brooklyn and New
York, who were requested by the com
mittee to tell what they knew OF the evils
of the sweating system and what should
be done to modify or correct them.
The committee at the last session and
during the recess Investigated the matter
exhaustively and gave innumerable hear
ings TO interested persons. Consequently
II already has on hand large amount OF
testimony and yesterday another chapter
was added to the volume.
II was shown conclusively by the wit
pesses that the evil was not diminishing
in any of the large clothing centres, with
the exception of Boston, where the state
laws have been so effectively enforced as
TO lessen il to great extent.
PHILADELPHIA and Cincinnati were stat
ed to be the great centers OF the country
where the system was most prevalent and
where the conditions were most unfavor-
able from a sanitary standpoint. IL was
stated that nearly all the small clothing
dealers who thrive by the sweating sys-
tenn subscribe annually to the Hebrew
immigration fund, and each emigrant re-
ceived in Europe an amount OF money
from this fund sufficient TO meet the re-
quirements OF law. and keep them from
being returned.
These hebrews were brought over IN
droves and given places in the swea
shops. The committee will begin tn,
preparation of its report Immediately.

DR.. LAMPE'S~fUR
He Resumes His Response to DIR. Briggs
Reply.


NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The trial OF DIR.
Briggs for heresy was resumed yesterday.
DIR. Briggs presented an exception to the
proceedings of the court Tuesday, in that
DIR. Lampe, under the cloak OF rebuttal
testimony, introduced large amount Of
new evidence and new matter.
He further objected to the proceedings
because three-fourths OF the statements
submitted by DIR. Lampe were in refer
ence to the original inaugural address and
other matters considered by the prosecu-
tion in their opening argument, and only
one fourth referred to the questions con
sidered in DIR. Briggs reply. The excep-
tion was fled.
DIR. Lampe then resumed his response
to DIR. Briggs reply. He stated that Or.
Briggs in trying to substantiate his claim,
had said that the Westminster confession
did not show that the pioneers of that
work held the belief that the text and
words OF the scriptures were incorrect.
DR.. Lampe said there were men in the
Westminster assembly who did hold to
such belief, but they were small mi
nority. He quoted from Chillingworth,
Henry Hammond, John White and other
ministers OF that body, to prove that they
held to the belief that the scriptures were
verbally inspired.

ARMED VESSELS ON THE LAKES
what Major General Nelson A. Miles Says
of the Outlook.


of tho Outlook.
CHICAGO, Dec. Eff Canada has built
and armed three vessels for service on the
lakes as described by the officers OF the
revenue marine service at Washington, 1t
amounts to declaration of war" said
Major General Nelson A. Miles yesterday,
alluding to the report that the Dominion
has increased its armed force on the great
lakes.
81 don't want to be quoted as saying
that Canada or Great Britain mean war"
said Gen. Miles. "The fact Is, though, that
these three vessels are in direct violation
of the treaty of 1917, which limits the war
vessels that either our government or
Great Britain can maintain on the lakes
to a certain number and limits their gun
power The action OF the Canadian au-
thorities i'm building the three vessels de-
scribed by the officers OF the revenue ma
rine service violates the treaty in both
particulars.
england can send large feet OF light
draught vessels up the st. Lawrence river
into the great lakes and could burn every
town from Duluth to Detroit. And the
singular thing is that the United States
could do scarcely anything by way OF de-
fense, so far as doing battle on the water
is concerned, for while we have some light
draught war ships that could get through
the canal, we could not get them to the
upper lakes, for the reason that they
would have to pass through British pos
sessions and that Canada or Great Britain
would not allow"
Gen. Miles has a list showing that the
British navy has 80 protected cruisers, IL
unprotected cruisers, 20 torpedo vessels
30 four gun vessels, two armored vessels
six dispatch vessels and five armed steam
ers, OF draughtlight enough TO allow the1l
passing through the Welland canal.

PLEA FOR DEFENSE ENDED.
No New Evidence Introduced In the Cahili
Murder Trial.


NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Dec. 22.-The ev-
idence is completed in the Cahill murder
trial and the plea for the defense is ended.
No important fact was brought out at the
trial which did not appear in the papers
at the time OF the shooting. No evidence
tAa+ CaAill shot his aunt has appeared.
though IL was clearly shown that there
vas big family row over Cahill's whip
ping his son.
After the defendant had once beaten
he boy with rope, in the barn, the
mother took one OF the children and ran
into room to get away from the second
whipping, which occurred in a room in
which the aunt was sitting
The accused says that the pistol went
of accidentally as he was standing close
to the head OF the deceased. The state
says Cahill shot his aunt In his wrath,
probably because she interfer ed TO save
the boy from the whipping. He certainly
took the pistol, ran TO the woods, and
threatened TO shoot those who advised
him to give himself up.
