Representative DoolittIe Asks for an
Investigation.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Doolittle of
Washington, who was before the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce yesterday. advocating his joint
resolution for a committee of six men,
bers of the House and the same number
OF the Senate to go to Nicaragua to in
vestigate everything connected with the
canal, made an argument in behalf of the
great interests of both sea coasts. He
says if the United States does not take
speedy action it will be soon found that
the agents of British capital in Nicaragua
will have made great inroads upon
American interests and secured the con-
troll of all the stock possible for British
holders. He represented it would be a
good thing for both the Atlantic and Pa
cific Coasts if the canal were constructed,
as it would bring New York nearly Ii 900
miles nearer San Francisco and avoid the
dangers of Cape Horn. Congress, he
said, needed practical information, which
personal investigation only could give.
The expense attending such a commission
to make the investigation may prevent
favorable action by the House or the
committee

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-It is under

tariff bill is now in the hands of Presi-

radical cut made in the glass schedule.
There will be considerable enlargement

are not properly revenue duties. The
idea OF tariff for revenue only is adhered
to quite closely, but this application may
not be made to coal and iron ore. which
go on the free list, and there is a very
considerable shaving down of the entire
iron and steel schedule. The tax on
whisky will be increased not above 20
cents. An increase in the beer tax has
been practically decided on. The sub
committee have not quite made up their
own minds on the sugar question, but
they have practically determined not to
try to get any revenue out of sugar. The
sugar bounty will go. however. Either
an income tax or an inheritance tax will
be provided to increase the revenues.
