Sherman Essays to Explain . Feature of
the Nicaragua Bili.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-During the de-
bate on the Nicaragua canal bill in the sem
ate yesterday Sherman said he wanted to
explain matters about which some senator's
appeared to be in doubt. These points
were as to the amount of stock which the
government was not 10 own, and also as to
outstanding contracts between the canal
company and the construction company.
These contracts, he said, were all to be
swept out Of existence. They were incon-
sistent with the bill because they were on
the basis of a cost Of $3.50, 900 600 for the
construction of the canal. The government
would start with "clear table" 1t would
own SSO,OOO,000 out of 800, 900. 900 of the
stock, and would have ten directors-the
maritime company becoming the mere
agent and servant of the United States.
Twelve millions of the stock was in the
hands of private owners. and could only be
obtained from them by some method of
condemnation
Stockholders VIII ''Get Left"
Brice inquired whetl it would not be
the policy OF the government (holding
eighty millions of the stock to fix the canal
tolls so to leave no dividend for the
stock; and whether, in that event, the
twelve millions of stock in the hands of
private owners would be of any value at
all
Sherman replied that his colleague had
stated very clearly the exact position VIII ich
the committee on foreign relations took.
Brlce inquired further whether in antici-
patton of that state of facts the private
m nf = hi 81 r
not somewhere some safeguard against
such rates of toll beng fixed as would
leave their stock value ess.
Does Look a Little That Way.
Sherman replied thai they had no such
safeguards.
"Then of what value will that stock be
to them" Brice persisted, "if the govern
ment of the United States shall so fix the
tolls as to leave nothing for the stockhold-
ers?"
"The committee on foreign relations, :"
Sherman replied, "wss of opinion that,
under these circumstan ces, the stock would
be of very little value indeed"
"Am to understand Bricc asked "that
this grant of $4,000, O0O of stock is a nom
inal grant made only for the purpose of
recognizing the legal right of these stock
holders, while the effect is an extinguish-
ment OF their property"s
Teller Makes the Ohio Man Wroth.
Sherman said he could not tell what the
value of this stock was The committee
considered it worth nothing. Teller here
took hand and said that he could show
from the committee report that Sherman
had been making misrepresentation.
"That is false" said Sherman, II do not
misrepresent anything. say again that if
the government of the United States shall
have the control of this canal it is not to be
presumed that it would levy such tolls as
would pay dividends on watered stock or
any other stock. The probability is that
the government dealing with its own prop
erty would only levy toll enough to pay
the expense of carrying on the work, the
interest on the bonds, and the sinking
fund.-

If they had given the company their con.

This proposition is made by letter. The
purchasers receive a rebate of z cents per
gallon on the same condition, and are paid
on the report of the wholesale dealers. If
they go back on the agreement the company
gets the benefit, and the customers have to
pay the full market price.

William n. Hobart, treasurer of the
company, next gave testimony. He said
that the business of making essences and
havors was quite extensive. He did not
consider them harmful. They were used
in very small quantities. He explained
the use OF essences and other compounds,
nd when Stockdale asked if the combina-
ton of these with spirits was whisky, he
replied that it was hard question to an
swer. Stockdale ked if these compounds
were not sold for whisky. He replied that
they were, being known to the trade as
domestic goods" The formation of the
distilling company, he thought, was a ben
eft to the trade.

ways friendly. He had no trouble with

LONDON, Dec. 14.-There was quite an
exciting sitting in the House of Commons
to-day arising out of the announcement
made by Gladstone that owing to the
present state Of business the Government
proposed to adjourn on Friday, Deem
ber 22d, and meet again the following
Wednesday.
Sir John Dorrington, Conservative,
moved to adjourn in order to call atten-
ton to the backward state of public busi
ness. The opposition intended this mo-
ton as an indication of the alleged gen
eral incapacity of the Government in
conducting business, and expressed their
intention of pressing the motion to di-
vision.
Sir Richard Paget, Conservative. in sec
Onding Dorrington's motion, was loudly
cheered, especially when he declared the
present condition of things in public
affairs becoming positively intolerable.
These attacks finally brought Glad
stone to his feet, and he replied warmly to
the onslaught of the opposition, and amid
frequent interruptions declared that the
House must meet again as he had Indi-
Gated, or the Parish councils bill must
be abandoned.
Balfour, Conservative leader, accused
the Government Of trying to trample
upon the opposition, who, Balfour added,
were little below the Government sup
porters in number.
After a heated debate, during which
Gladstone was greeted with groans from
the opposition and cheers from his sup
porters, the cloture was moved and the
motion to adjourn was rejected-l65 to
I15. The announcement OF the vote
called forth loud cheers from the Govern
ment supporters.

SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 14.-After several
days of threatening weather, light rain
began falling here at late hour. last
evening, and continued at intervals up to
a late hour to-day. The rain at times fell
in torrents and the wind blew stiff
breeze from the southeast. Flowing in
most of the low districts throughout the
county is nearly over, while other local
tiles have been delayed for the lack of
more rain. The rainfall for the storm
has been so of an inch, and for the sea-
son 5.S5 inches.

tinued for several hours. This morning
the weather is warm and vegetation will

FRESNO, Dec. 14.-After being out
seventeen hours the jury in the case of
Chris Evans, the notorious train robber
charged with murder, reached verdict
this morning. The jury reported that a
verdict of murder in the first degree had
been reached, and that the penalty of the
crime be fixed at Imprisonment fC lIte.
The defendant was on trial for the r.
der of Vic Wilson. The long delibera-
ton of the jurors and the verdict reached
is a confirmation of the reports that
portion Of the Jury opposed capital pun
ishment on the evidence presented.
Although nothing definite has been
said by the counsel for the defense it is
thought that the case will be carried on
appeal to the Supreme Court.
At 9 o'clock the jurors came into court,
through an error. having been informed
that Judge Harris wanted them. They
reported that an agreement had not been
reached and they again went to their
room.
Alto o'clock they came in with their
verdict.
