luton called for Information concerning
the Pullman strike. This resolution was
passed, but was reconsidered ON motion
OF Pugh of Alabama.
Allen bitterly aSsailed this action, and
also attacked the Attorney-General, to
whom he attributed the action of the Ala
bama Senator.
Pugh vigorously defended the attitude
taken by Mr.. Oiney, and declared that
the position ofthe Senator from Nebraska
was unreasonable and unteuable.
At 2 O'Clock the whole matter went
over, and the Senate, on motion of Nor
gan, took up the Nicaragua Canal bill.
| The bull was read at length. MIR. Nor
gan began his remarks by making
statement Of the national and interna-
tional aspect of the subject, upon which
the Senate and House bills agreed. Care
ful calculations, he insisted, showed that
the canal could be constructed at a cost
that would yield a remunerative profit,
so that 1t was necessary Improvement;
that 1t would be OF the greatest import
ance to the United States; that it could be
operated, and that there was nothing to
render impossible concessions made by
| the Central American Government to the
/ United States. Finishing this general
statement, the Senator devoted some time
TO the discussion of the characteristics of
the country through which 1t is proposed
to build the canal, and its advantageous
| routes compared with that Of the Panama
Canal route, and asserted that no such
Improvement could be given to COM
merce as the construction of this neceS-
sary complement to the Suez Canal. The
route was feasible, the engineering work
easy, and there would be no extraordi-
| nary work required on any place on the
whole route.
Morgan quoted from the report of Chief
Engineer Menocal, who estimated that
the canal could be built for 500, 100000
| and said he thought the expenditure of
! the $4,000, coo already spent had demon
strated that the annual cost would be
even lower than that estimated by Mr..
Menocal. The two houses of Congress
practically agreed that the cost OF the
! canal would be about S70,000000. The
canal must be built under the fostering
care OF some Government. We must act
now, or abandon the canal to its fate.
At the conclusion of Morgan's speech,
Mitchell OF Oregon briefly expressed his
hearty approval Of the scheme to build
the canal, and said he thought there was
no great difference among the people re-
gardlng the propriety of the work of
construction.
The Senate then, at 4:15 P. NJ, went into
executive session, and at 4:30 p. NJ. ad-
