CHANCES FOR A CANAL.
Excellent Prospects for the Passage
of the Nicaragua Bill.

VI INC NicuT0&uu
Reports that French company has been
organized to complete the Panama canal
did not arouse great interest among the
members Of the House interested In the
Nicaragua canal. Representative Mallory,
who drew the House bill. does not con-
slider the Panama scheme a menace to our
interests in Nicaragua, but says that its
revival emphasizes the need Tor prompt
action by Congress on the Nicaragua bill
The prospects for an agreement Oh this
measure are good, since 1t is reported on
good authority that Senator Morgan, the
author Of the Senate bill, has EXPRESSED his
approval of the House substitute and his
Willingness to accept It, Therefore, what
ever opposition to the measure develops
will probably be made on the floor Of the
House and Senate rather than in commit
tee. -
No Government Ownership. ..
An impression, which seems to have arisen
in some quarters, that the present plan in.
wolves government ownership is not correct
The government is to receive s7U,OOoOUO in
stock OF the Maritime Company in return
for it's guaranty of bonds according to the
provisions OF the bill, and eight Of the
eleven directors are to be appointed by the
President. Practically this is government
control, without government ownership.
The concessions obtained by the Maritime
Company from Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
contemplate that governments may become
holders of stock. The late Secretary of
state James q. Blaine held that the Clayton.
Bulwer treaty did not stand In the way of
ownership OF an isthmus canal by this gov
eminent. F' s-t -.
View of the Administration.
A different view is held by this admins
tration. 1t has been known that Secretary
Gresham thought the treaty stood In the
way of government ownership of the Near
aqua canal and he has recently said to
members of the committee on commerce
that President Cleveland holds the same
opinion. .,,"
Representative Doolittle of Washington,
who is enthusiastic in favor q Nicaragua
canal, is inclined 20 think that REPORTS of
French activity are started by opponents
of the American project. .'' .'

IN GOOD CONDITION.
Judge McComas' Remarks to the Jury
ON Discharging Them.

In discharging the Jury for the term in
Criminal Court No. 2 this afternoon Judge
McComas remarked that not for twenty
five years had the criminal business Of the
Supreme Court Of the District been In so
a condition. There was but
one indicted prisoner in Jail, explained
Judge McComas. awaiting trial. and that
was q case Of homicide, which could not
now be conveniently tried. Therefore, so
far as the jail cases were concerned the
docket was q perfectly cleared up one. The
cases on bail, said the court, were very few
and he understood that the grand jury had
practically closed up its business. Judge
McComas said such a condition Of affairs
was a matter of great qualification to the
court and would be, he felt sure, to the peo-
pie OF the District. He thereupon dis
charged the jury for the term. assuring
them that they had performed their duties
in O most commendable manner.

SENATOR'S HILL. I'RpIIN AND

Conferences with Instructions Mr..
Jones Indignant

Washington, July -. The democrats
ot the senate went into caucus ON the
tariff bill Tuesday upon adj
Journmcnt. Senators Hill, Murphy and
lrby wcr" the only ones who did not
respond. The caucus continued for
three hours and the senators, without
reaching amy conclusion or taking II
vote on any proposition, adjourned
until to-day at 3 o'clock when another
meeting will be held The caucus
merely served to emphasize the two
facts that the democratic senators are
all anxious to pass II tariff bill and
that there is still n wide difference as
to the kind of n bin they can pass
1t was recognized from the beginning
that the Villas motion ltiS occupied ii

cnt controversy and several Sena tors
minated that until there could be
assurances of lbs withdrawal, no con
cluslon could Ike reached In the caucus
Senators Blanchard and Caffcry. in
stead of showing any disposition to
yield to the SugAr ditfercntIal. asked
further concessions.
Senators Villas Mills and palmer
have expressed great concern over the
passage of Il bill of some character
and are united in saying that while
they thought the chances for the pass
age of the bill will he greatly improv,
ed by the elimination of the differ
entail, on account of the tpnlDpr of
the house, they indicated willing
ness to withdraw the Villas motion in
case an agreement could be reached
on the proposition for Il straight adj
valorcm duty, and some Of those pres
"nt formed the impression they would
be willing to raise the rate from forty
10 forty-tive per cent. The only mo
ton made during the afternoon was
one by Senator Jarvis to send the bin
back to conference without inStruc-
tons, and while nothing like Il vote
was taken the indications now are
that this motion will prevail in the
end
Almost every seuator present made
brief addresses during the continuance
of the caucus. Mr.. German WAS one
Of the few who did not speak During
the debate, Mr., Jones, replying to the
assertion that the senate was trying
to cram the bill down the threats of

The senate bill is not what the cOun-

but the house bill is 50 bad that almost
any change in an upward direct Oh
