THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.


An opinion is common in the senate
that the Nicaragua canal bill will take
new lease of life within a short time.
There is very friendly feeling toward
the project on both sides of the cham
Der, and the bill will pass provided its
managers are willing to consent to some
friendly amendments. The main trouble
will be over two points, the payments TO
be made To secure full control OF the
finances and the necessity for some as
surance of political control. Senator
Dolph and others wish TO secure from
Nicaragua and Costa Rica some definite
political concession of belt covering the
canal, with treaty obligations granting
the United States absolute and immedi-
ate control in case Of war or other emer-
gency. Senator Sherman and some 9TH
ers are quite concerned about the paw
ments To local shareholders and will
seek 20 make some changes in this re-
gard. This is the more particularly nec-
essary because the sentiment of the
house is likely TO defeat the measure I'M
less the payments TO the local bondhOld-
ers are kept down TO the lowest posi- BILE
notch 1t is expected that within "a few
days the debate in the senate will take a
turn which will arouse enthusiasm for
the canal, now that the two long set
speeches are out Of the way.

NO REIMPosITIoN OF RESTRICTIONS.

The attention of the secretary Of agri-
culture was called to the assertion OF
several papers that the action OF the
German government looking to reim-
position OF restrictions upon the live
stock and meat was due to inadequate
inspection by the department owing to
excessive reductions in the inspecting
force. "A sufficient answer TO such crit
icsms," Secretary Morton replied, lis to
be found in the facts given at length In
my report. The records Of the bureau Of
animal industry show that during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1894, 10000 900
pounds more of pork were microsco pically
inspected than there was in the year
1893. During the same period OF time
more than 100000 Of live cattle and
other domestic animals were inspected,
while less than 100000 were during the
year before. And the exports OF hog
products, dressed beef, and live cattle in
