THE TELEPHONE QUESTION.
The Absorbing Topic In Norfolk
Just NoyS-Notes.

NORFOLK, VA, June l0.-(Special.) ,
The telephone question is the all-absorb-
ing topic in business circles here just

many companies. and the companies all,

years for furnishing a telephone service
The latest Is from the Southern Electro
cal Service Company, which proposes TO
run wires-their own and any other tels-
graph or telephone company s--through
conduts. This plan has met with Sc
we're opposition from the other companies,
but seems to be the favored one with
the members OF the Council. The whole
matter will come up at the Council meet
ing tomorrow night and will probably
be decided one way or the other

sent TO Thurston, and furnished Gresham

This was promptly denied by Mr.. Il.

NICARAGUA-CAKAL COMMISSION.

n Favorable Report.

WASHINGTON. June lo.-A favorable
report from the government commission
which went to Nicaragua a month ago
to examine the route of the proposed
maritime canal is confidently expected on
it's return to the United States next
month.
Private letters received from members
state that the commission has already
traversed the route from Greytown 10
Brito, and that they are convinced from
a cursory examination that the plan
OF the canal is feasible one. The COM
mission is now preparing 10 make a
second and more careful survey OF the
route.
The congressional friends Of the canal
are awaiting with much interest the re-
port Of the committee. If II shall be IA
vorable. as now seems probable, IL will
greatly aid the passage OF bill looking
