The Nicaragua Canal Bill Discussed in
the Senate.


The Nicaragua Canal Bill Discussed in
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ia bill intended
to secure the construction of the Nicar-
aqua Ship Canal occupied the attention of
the Senate to-day. 1t provides that 3-per-
cent. bonds of the company to an amount
not exceeding one hundred millions of
dollars be guaranteed, principal and
interest, by the Government of the United
States, said bonds to be issued according
rs the money is actually paid out and ex-
pended by the company in the construc-
ton of the canal. The Government is
then to own the capital stock of the COM
pany, with the exception of twelve mill
ions of it, which is to be retained by the
company. and except shares. to be de-
livered to the Governments of Nicar-
aqua and Costa Rica.
The importance of this guarantee by
the Government was demonstrated in the
speech by Frye, who undertook to show
that the canal would be finally completed
with guarantee) at cost of one hun
dred millions of dollars, and that the
fixed charges would only be five mill
ions of dollars year, outside of the sink
| ing fund; whereas, without the guarantee
the cost would be less than two hundred
millions, and fixed charges of fourteen
millions year.
Morgan discussed the diplomatic
features of the measure.
Cullom introduced joint resolution
transferring to the State of Illinois, after
! the Worlds Fair, the naval exhibit for
use as an armory for the naval militia of
Illinois.
Cockrell of Missouri objected saying
that this was simply an entering wedge
of Chicago to get everything that will be
sent there for exhibition.
The resolution was referred.
During the discussion of the Nicaragua
bill, Morgan expressed the opinion that
there was not now, and never was any,
thing in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to
prevent the building of the canal.
The bill went over until tomorrow.
During the morning hour the Senate.

ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION.
STORY OF SUFFERING AMONG
LOUISIANA FARMERS.
Floods of Last Summer Destroy Their
Crops-An Appeal for Relief
Measures.
Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

oPNSitbA
MEMPHIS TENN, Feb. 13.-The peo-
pie of Catahoula and Concordia Parishes,
La, have recently made an appeal for
help. They were driven to this by actual
starvation. The floods of last summer
destroyed the crops, and the water re-
manned on the earth so long that 1t was
impossible to raise either corn cotton or
sugar-cane, and nothing was planted eX-
cept some understanding vegetables late
in the season. These were soon ex-
hausted, and the farmers were compelled
to sell nearly all of their earthly possess
sions to secure food, and when they had
nothing else to sell the people went to the
swamps and killed squirrels, rabbits and
coons. They have subsisted entirely on
wild game during the winter, but this
wholesale slaughter has depopulated the
forests OF every wild animal larger than
muskrat. Many moved away, but
there are hundreds who were not able to
leave. The citizens of the adjoining par
ishes divided food with their suffering
neighbors as long as they had any, but
the constant drain on them exhausted
their resources.
The Chairman of the Relief Committee,
who has come here to- solicit aid, tells a
story of misery and suffering. The only
food the people have had lately, he says,
is pecans and acorns and what little they
could buy by hauling wood long dis
tances to the river and selling it to the
steamboats,. The districts embrace the
basins of the Ouachita, Tensas, Black
and Little Rivers. In territory IT'S
miles long, which has produced only
twenty bales of cotton this year, are 1000
people.
The Chairman also says: 1.-THE farmers
are now blowing, but they have not
enough food to feed themselves or
their teams. The people of this section
have always been very poor. They have
no means beyond what can be earned
by doing odd jobs in the territory round
about, and even this entails upon them
great labor with little pay. In the warmest
part of the year, when everywhere around
them crops are 1ourishing and farmers
are correspondingly happy, the denizens
of this narrow section are compelled to
subsist from hand to mouth. IL can be
easily imagined, therefore, how much
they suffered when the fall of tho Their
mometer, whose effects were felt even in
this remote Southern country, brought
cold to them as well as hunger. Poorly
clad at BEST they were little able to resist
the change in the weather, the less so as
they were unprepared to withstand its at
tacl1s on account of weakened systems
and empty stomachs.
MANY of the men have deserted their
helpless families for the time being in
search of food, knowing that their pres
ence can do nothing towards satisfying
the hunger of their loved ones, and hop
ing to find employment in time to save
their lives.'
Committees have gone to New Orleans,
Vicksburg and st. Louis to secure help.
The first response from New Orleans was
5000 in cash.

KERN COUNTY CRIMINALS.
Sentence Passed Upon Four by Ba-
kersfieid Judge.

Sentence Passed Upon Four by Ba-
kersfieid Judge.
BAKERSFIELD, Feb. I3.-This morning
Judge COnklin passed sentence upon
four criminals that were tried and found
guilty in the Superior Court last week as
follows: Edward White and Edward
Stanfeld, for committing unnatural
crimes, while confined III the County
Jail. White got forty-tive years and Stan
field forty-one in the State Prison. Frank
Martin, for knocking a man down and
stealing his gold watch and chain, got
fourteen years, and Jose Enos, whose
proper name is Santiago Coutreras, for
forgery, got five years.
These crimes were all committed last
month, but the authorities cannot permit
criminals to linger here in hopes of max
ing their escape. The Jail is full and the
Supervisors have had to rent the Opera
House to be used as place of confne-
ment. We have now ninety or more
prisoners in confinement, and only two
are residents of this county. The remain
der are hobos, but henceforth they will
find this bad place to stop. Cases that
the courts cannot deal justly with, the
citizens will.

WASHIN GToN, Feb 13.-There was a
backset to the bill to admit the four Ter

Carey, who has the matter in charge
says it is but temporary defeat. To-
day, during the morning hour, Carey
called up the bill for the purpose of get
ting it before the Senate and ordering it
printed. Plat, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Territories, who is opposed to the
admission of any more States at present.
objected, and Carey forced the issue by
moving that the bill be taken up. On the
aye and no vote his motion was defeated
by 80 noes, II ayes. Following is the
vote in detail:
Ayes-Blackburn Butler, Carey, Eel
ton, Gordon, Harris, Mcpherson, Mitch
ell, Palmer, PETER, Pugh, Quay, Sawyer
and Teller-l4.

MILAN, Henderson, Mills, Morrill,, Pas
coe. Platt, Sherman, Stockbridge, Voor-
hees, Washburn, White and Wolcott-S0
There appears to have been fears on the
part of some of the Senators that Carey
sought to displace the Nicaragua bill, and
this is to some extent accountable for the
vote. Some Senators, particularly among
the Democrats. will vote for the bill when
the canal matter is out of the way.
Carey says the opposition to the admis-
sion of the Territories had votes present
and the friends of the bill did not On a
square vote. without anything to inter
fere, he is confident the Territories will
be admitted. No further attempt will be
made to get the bill up in the morning
hour. But Carey will wait until the MIC
aragua Canal bill is finished. Then,
under an agreement of the caucus, he
will call it up and expects to have ma

PITTsBURG, Feb. 13.-By far the most
important of the Homestead riot trials is

mitted implicitly to his dictation, and all
the strikers looked to him as the unques-

Immediately following the strike. For
some cause, not fully disclosed, he fell
from favor after 4 time, and resigned
from the Advisory Board. He was ar
rested soon afterward and has been in

nesses, who went over familiar ground.

from the public. Matters reached eli
max when letter addressed to promi-

The Consurs explanation of his conduct
Is that he received advices from the home

its own distressed inhabitants, and no aid

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The American
delegates to the international Monetary
Conference are i'll this city for the pur-
pose Of presenting to President Harrison
their report of the proceedings of the
conference. They met to-day at the resi-
dence of Senator Allison and discussed
the document, and will meet again to-
morrow. The report will be lengthy
paper, and will give a complete record
Of the proceedings of the conference. 1t
will state that in the opinion of the dele
gates from this country there was a very
much better feeling towards the objects
sought to be accomplished manifested at
the close of the conference than at its be-
ginning. They hope for substantial re-
suits from the adjourned meeting at
Paris. Great Britain holds the key to
the situation, and the change of opinion
expressed by the delegates from that
country, except Currie, give the United
States delegates a substantial basis for
hope that at the Paris meeting the atti-
tude Of Great Britain will not be I'M
friendly to silver: The delegates will
place their designations at the disposal of
