NICAEAUGUA CANAL BILL
Prepared by the Committee and Reported
TO the senate-SOme Changes.


WASHINGTON, December 21.-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 to-day favorably reported by It's
author, Senator Sherman, who gave
notice in the Senate that he would call
il up at an early date and endeavor to
secure prompt action upon it,
The new bill is drawn on substantial
ly the same lines as the bill reported
from the committee to the last Congress
including as IL does a proposition TO
guarantee bonds of the company to the
extent OF 500, OOO, 600 TO aid in the con-
structiOn OF the canal. The new bill,
however, contains some additions which
increase the obligations Of the company
, as we'll as the security Of the Govern
ment.
Perhaps the most important changes
in the bill are those made In the ninth
| section relative 10 the issue Of the stock.
/ In the new bill this Is limited to $780,
| 900, 900, $4,000, 600 to be retained by the
/ company; the amount stipulated TO be
! delivered TO the governments OF Nicara-
I qua and Costa Rica, according 10 the
concessions, and the remainder to be
/ issued 70 the United States, full paid
and not subject to assessment; TO be
voted by the President Of the United
l States, or his praxy, at stockholders
meetings, and but three directors are
20 b6 selected from holders OF the stock
I other than that owned by the United
/ States. In the last section an amend
ment is made so that ten instead of SIX
of the fifteen directors shall be appointed
by the President of the United States,
not more than FIVE Of whom shall be ap'
| nOinted from one yOlitical party.

THE BRIGGS CASE.
DIR. Lampe Concludes His Argument In
RahuttaI.

DR.. Lampe Concludes His Argument III
ReDuCVah -..O 49,.
of DR.. Briggs for heresy was resumed
to-day before the New York Presbytery.
Immediately after the calling of the
roll and reading OF the minutes OF yes
terday's session, DR.. Briggs arose and
presented an exception TO the proceed
ings Of the court yesterday, In that DR..
Lampe, under the cloak Of rebuttal tes-
timony, introduced large amount OF
evidence. The exception was filed.
DIR, Lampe then resumed the reading
of his response to DR.. Briggs's reply.
He said that DR.. 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. That
in fact they held the contrary, and they
are errors of fact and history. DR..
Lampe said there were men who held to
such belief, bnt they were small mi
nority. He quoted Chilingworth, Hen
ry Hammond, John White and other
ministers of that body TO prove that
they held to the belief that the scrip
lures were verbally inspired.
Dr. Lampe went on to say that all the
errors which DR.. Briggs says biblical
scholars find in the Bible have been
known for generations. He has not
given n single new one. DR.. Lampe
thought it would be good thing If all
these errors, sc-ca led, were tabulated
and published. Through new discov-
cries made in Bible lands these diff
culties are disappearing one after an
other.
What the prosecution claimed was
that when the Bible did assign an au-
thor to particular book its decision
must be regarded as final. The belief
that had been held for upwards of 5000
years, that so far as human agency is
concerned the Pentateuch is the work
OF Moses could not be thrown aside with
out the clearest evidence Of its untrust-
worthlness. The question as to how
the parties to the conference will be
further heard and as to the manner in
which the vote will be taken will come
Up at tomorrow afternoons session and
will probably be lively.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, December 21.-A
most serious head-end collision occurred
ut Lenexa. Kans., on the Kansas City,
Ft. Scott & Memphis Railroad at 1855
a. m, between a north-bound freight
and the M. ]. IL II. south-bound passen-
ger which runs over the Memphis
tracks from Kansas City to Paola.
Engineer Souerland, OF the passen-
ger train, was instantly killed and
eight others injured, some seriously.
The freight train was disabled on a
curve, and the wreck is said to be due
to negligence of the freight crew IN not
tagging the passenger train. The con-
ductor of the freight train disappeared
after the collision, and has not been
seen since.

A VERY SERIOUS MATTER.

cIaration of War.

British Government Amounts ~
claration of War.
CHICAGO, December 21.-'1t CANADA
has built and armed three Vesseis Ior
service on the lakes, as described oy the
officers of the Revenue Marine Service
at Washington, IL amounts to deciar-
alton OF war;" said Maj. Gen. Nelson a.
Miles, to-day, alluding to the report
that the Dominion has increased It's
armed force on the great lakes.
81 do not want to be quoted as saying
that Canada or Great Britain means
war" said Gen. Miles. 1.-The fact Is
though, that these three vessels are In
direct violation Of the treaty OF 1917
which limits tho war vessels that may
be on the lakes % a certain nnmoer ana
limits their gun power. The action OF
the Canadian authC rites in building
the three vessels, described by the OIL
ffcer of the revenue marine service,
violates the treaty in both particulars.
England can send large teet OF hght
draught war vessels up the ST. Lawrence
river into the great lakes, which could
burn every town from Duluth TO
Detroit. And the singular thing
is that the United States could DO
scarcely anything by way Of defense so
far As doing battle on the water Is con-
cerned. for while we have some light
draught warships 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 list showing that the
British navy has thirty-tive protected
cruisers. eighteen unprotected cruisers
twenty torpedo vessels, ffty-four gun
vessels, two armored vessels, six dis,
patch vessels and five armed cruisers oi
draught light enough to allow their pas
sage through the Welland canal.

i Tbs Is an that the doctors would ven

have another setback similar 90 the
one be had on Sunday, IL is hardly 60 be
hoped that his enieebled constitution

All The members Of the family except

There is the constant dread that the
