Nicaragua Canal Bill I'm DOubt.

The fate of the Nicaragua canal BILL
which the democrats, on the assembling of

being permitted to come to a vote. If a
vote is reached there. the bill may pass,
but in the House the situation is ex-
tremely discouraging.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 27.-
The Democratic Senatorial caucus was
the scene to-day Of another spirited
speech by Senator Brice made in reply
to speeches OF members of the Finance
Committee in which one of them, pre-
sumably Senator Vest, had said that
what concessions had been made
had been made at the point Of
the bayOnet. Mr.. Brice said
that apparently they had under
taken to catfish two Senators from
Louisiana with sugar bait, and had
made arrangements Tor other votes by
making concessions on few other ar
ticles. II these additions we're 10 be
made another wise ideal bill should be
made TO ft the regions west Of the
Mississippi to catch their votes.
Mr.. Brice wanted TO know what was
to be done TO hold the support of the
Senators from the latitude represented
by himself, and the Senators from New
York and New Jersey, and be added
that il the many interests of those great
States could not be given consideration,
he saw no course open to those Senators
but TO arm themselves with bayonetS
and pursue the course of their more
successful colleagues.
The only definite action Of the fore
noon session consisted in a decision TO
place machinery for cotton manufac-
turing on the free list. This conces-
sion was granted at the request Of tho
Missippi Senators, who urged it because
Of the fact that they represented the
cotton manufacturing industry which
was rapidly growing in Importance in
the South. The proposition caused
considerable debate aud more or less
reference to favoritism because Of sec
tiOnal lines. II carried when put to
vote.
