these, and many who have been home-

them are being prepared for. The losses
will foot up to S2,0O0,0G0 but the confn-
sion is SO great that it is still to early to

House Members Believe the Measure
VIII Soon be Prepared.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Such smooth
sailing marked the first meeting to-day
of the subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Commerce, appointed to frame
a Nicaragua Canal bill, that members feel
justified in predicting that the measure
will be prepared within week. Several
points were agreed upon to-day. AL
though Representative Bryan's scheme
for currency issue to construct the canal
found some favor, it was definitely aban-
doned, and Senator Morgan's plan will
furnish the foundation for the bill, which
provides for the usual method of raising
funds by means of bond issue. 1t is
practically decided that the Governments
share of the bonds shall be $50. 600.
The members agreed to insert in the
bill a proviso that the canal company
must at some early date probably jan
uary /, 1880 give satisfactory security
to the Treasury that all outstanding
debtor contracts have been cancelled and
satisfied; that the affairs of the maritime
company's auxiliary, the contract COM
pany, have been settled, and that the
company has gone out of existence. The
Government will guarantee the funds
with which to settle the affairs of the
present company, but matters must be so
arranged that the Government will find
no complications on it's hands, and this
will be made the first condition of Gov
ernmental control.

Despite the dry weather 1t seems diff

One dealer declared that wheat was

time to insure good crops. They assert
that the season is good month late, and
to support their contention point to the
fact that strawberries, although 1t is the

full in the market as yet.

Japan, in her present mood. will pay no
