Preparations to Push the Measures in
Both Houses.

Washington. Dec. 5.-The Senate ccm-
mittee on foreign relations met this morn
ing for the purpose of considering the Mic
aragua canal bill. There was no quorum
present, but Senators Morgan, Sherman,
Frye and Turpie discussed the matter for
an hour, arranging plan of action When
the measure. which is now on the calen-
dar, is called up, the Senate bill will be
pressed and then the differences between
the Senate and House bill can be
settled in conference. The chief differ
ence between the two bills is the appropri-
alton in the Senate bill Of something like
$6,OOO00 to reimburse those who have IN
vested that amount of money up to the
present time in the undertaking.
Speaker Crisp this morning informed
one of the friends of the Nicaragua canal
bill that the committee on rules had de-
cided to permit that measure to come be-
fore the House at an early day. and it is
not unlikely that it may follow the pool
ing bill, although several appropriation
bills will be ready to be called up as soon
as the pooling bill is disposed of.

Since the last session of the Senate, Mr.
Walsh was elected to fill out the short
term in the Senate, and under the rules
1t was necessary for him to appear before
the Vice Presidents desk and again take

colleague of the senator to be sworn in to
escort the candidate to the Vice Presi-
dents desk and attend him while the cere-
mony is being performed Under ordi-
nary circumstances, Senator Gordon
should have performed escort duty for
Senator Walsh. Senator Gordon was not in
the Senate chamber to-day, and Senator
Walsh was anxious to be sworn in. After
waiting until late in the afternoon for
Senator Gordon to appear. Senator Walsh
finally accepted the good Offices OF Sena-
tor Ransom of North Carolina. who with
his characteristic grace and dignity pre-
vailed upon Senator Harris to withdraw
his motion to proceed to the consideration
VI executive business ana presented the
credentials of Senator Walsh. Leaning
heavily upon his cane, Senator Ransom
escorted the junior senator from Georgia
to the Vice Presidents des where the
usual oath was administered, and Senator
Walsh is again a fun fiedged senator until
March 4. next.
Southern representatives in the House
are taking a keen interest in the railroad
pooling bill now under consideration in the
House. The southern members as a rule
favor the bill as reported from the COM
merce committee. 1t is possible that a
few amendments may be submitted with
view TO making the proposed law more
acceptable to South Carolina and Georgia
railroads. Representative Tyler proposes
to introduce an amendment recently pre-
pared and indorsed by the Charleston
chamber of commerce.
1t is understood that Secretary Carlisle
has practically decided to appoint John c.
Lehman shipping Sc mmissioner at the
port Of Bruins wick. Mr. Lehmanris here
now, and to-day Representative Turner
called at the treasury department and had
very satisfactory interview with Secre-
tary Carlisle in behalf of Mr.. Lehman
Later in the day. Goldie Lehman, a son Of
Mr.. Lehman, at the instance of Mr.. Tur-
ner, was appointed page in the House Of
Representatives by Doorkeeper Hurt.

patch from Shanghai to the Herald says:
Field Marshal Count Oyama has politely
declined to allow the Red Cross steamer
Toonan, to remove wounded Chinese sol
diers from Port Arthur as being against
the rules Of the war The wounded Chi
nese, he points out, are prisoners of war
to whose needs the japanese will attend
in precisely the same fashion as those of
their own wounded soldiers.
''Pekin is terror stricken by the news

cry. The storm raging around Ii Hung

WHEAT FED TO HOGS.
The Total for the Country May Foot Up
75,3o3, 900 Bushels.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The returns from
the correspondents OF the statistical di-
vision of the department of agriculture
relative to the amount of wheat fed TO
stock estimate the quantity already fed,
this is to say, to Oct. 80, at 46.O3o.OOO BUSH
els; and the estimated amount to be fed
az zs.zi5'OOO bushels, making a total of 75,-
100000 bushels.
These figures on wheat feeding are
merely the meager estimates from those
states wherein correspondents have COM
piled with the request of the department
and must not be taken as anything more
than an attempt at approximation of the
total feeding of wheat from the present
supply. The severity and length of the
winter Will necessarily influence the final
findings upon this question.

Citizens Stick to the Claim That the

Columbus o., Dec. 5.-The proceedings
of the Colt court of inuqiry to-day were
uninteresting. The witnesses examined
were all from Washington Court House,
and their evidence was all of one tenor
that the crowd was not a disorderly one,
while there were a few persons in it who
were trying to excite a mob spirit that a
much smaller force than Col. Colt had at
hand could have dispersed the crowd with
out loss of life if they had been properly
used, and that the soldiers and officers
were drinking in the saloons about the
town in the afternoon before the shooting,
if they were not drunk.
