One Important Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. There is strong
undercurrent of belief among members
of congress that the Nicaragua canal will
receive very earnest consideration during
the session of congress which begins
Monday. The feeling is especially pro
nounced in the house, and prevails
particularly among the southern menu
bers. Even those who, like BsIly OF
Texas, oppose the bill on constitutional
and economic grounds, concedr the ques
ton will receive early attention, and most
of them are Cf the opinion that the pros
pecis of Its success are good. Mr.. Cooper,
of Florida, says nothing could restore the
popularity of the Democratic party as.
authorizing the construction OF :he canal
He said. THE Democratic party Is the
party which added the Mississippi valley
and Pacific coast to the national map,
and 1t is the party which should provide
for this great enterprise. II ii will do
this during the short session and provide
for a more elastic currency infer it will
not long be out of power"
Representative Livingstone, of Georgia,
says: "If the Democrats do not act on
the bill. the Republicans will surely take
it up when they come IN and get all the
credit. 1t Is evident foreigners want to
control the CANAL He says there was
tacit understanding during the last ses"
sion OF the house that the bills should
come up before the short session.

Ready for Business.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The opening OF
the second session of the SD congress
after recess of three months made the
capitol building the center of interest to-
dav, with added interest owning to the
political revolution which recently oc-
Cured. The crowd seemed to be drawn
mainly to the house, and it was here that
the political storm made Its marks ;nost
apparent The spectators showed eager
in crest in the arrival of each cons spicuous
figure on the floor. The congressional
veterans who bave spent good share of
their lives in the house came for their
final Session, the tidal wave having re-
.ired most of the leaders OF the majority
but there were few di,copsolates among
the defeated, and they joined with the
members of the minority in good na,ured
sallies. Representative Holman, of In
diana, was greeted warmly by his old
friends.

River improvements.

The Oregonian has the following:
"Major Post, who is 10 charge of the
government works on the Columbia, states
that be is confident that the boat railway
could be completed within two years by the
contractors. Regarding this great projected
enterprise, he said;
we have now completed the survey and
location of the boat railway. 1t had been
located Professionally before the late high
water, but find we can Low do better.
find that there are only four curves IN the
proposed route, nine miles long, and none
is more than three-fourths of one degree. l
have hope that we can reduce all to one
half of one degree. which Is very much be-
low the maximum curves allowed for roads
of this character.
There Is no grade over l3 feet to the
mile. These things have assured US that
the obstacles are comparatively small, but
nevertheless the project is one of some
magnitude. When we consider that it Is
designed to lift from the water boats and
cargoes weighing 600 tons, cars of 200 tons,
and apparatus 200 tons, and transport the
whole nine miles, you can have some idea
of the kind of task there is before US. Still
the lift will be easy. There will b. IL by
draulic jacks to lift 1000 tons. whereas
haye seen one jack raise ll40 tons.'
"Major Post said he had gone over the
ground with Receiver McNeill. of the o R
& N. Company. who had expressed great
interest in the project. Mr.. McNeill had
stated his entire willingness to have the
track of the railroad moved back to make
way for the enterprise. Major Post told OF
the difficulties it had been necessary to
overcome at the Cascades. He said that if
the locks had been completed on the plans
proposed this year. the water during the
flood would have arisen four feet above
their highest point, and he regarded 1t as
fortunate that the food had come and al
lowed modification to suit such emergencies.
Major Post spoke of the Columbia, and
said the channel from Portland to the sea is
deeper than last year, and that vessels
drawing % feet have passed over all OBJ
structious. He also reviewed the work at
the mouth of the Columbia and urged forti.
