ms the faith OF the United States to
the construction OF the Nlcaragu canal
passed the senate. by the decisive vote
of 81 yeas to 81 nays. It was the termi-
nation of debate, which has lasted
since the present session of congress
began. 1t was, moreover the first
realization In either b-anch Of congress
of the vast project so long and vigo-
rously urged for q canal joining the
Atlantic and Pacific with the United
/ States government standing sponsor for
/ the execution OF the work. The inal vote
was not secured until $50 o'clock to-
night. but, Notwithstanding the late
ness Of the hour there was an excep-
| tionally full senate, owing to the inter-
/ est felt ia the elimination OF the long
discussion. The Nicarueuan minister
and many other diplomats interested in
/ the project had seats in the diplomatic
/ galleries throughout the voting on the
many amendments. and the final ques-
ton, The bill. in BRIEF. directs the
issue OF s7O,OOOOOO OF Nicaragua canal
/ bonds.
When the senate met today the reso-
! luton OF Mr.. Mitchell Rep) Of Oregon
calling for detailed Information as to

/ was agreed to.
The Hawaiian question was then
taken up, and MIR. Allen (Pop) OF
l Nebraska addressed the senate. He
urged that Minister Stevens initial act
was a ilagrant violation Of lnterna-
] tional law.
Mr. Mills Dem) Of Texas then rose
10 make the speech on the Hawaiian
( question he had given notice Of yes
/ terday There was much Interest
! manifested. and the senator was fol-
] lowed with marked attention, AT the
] outset Mr. Mills went out OF the beaten
! path and asraigued the sugar interests
| as responsible for the constant excite
: ment over Hawaii. 1T Is an old
] story said Air. Mills, with great earn
estncss. There Is a powerful sugar
! interest I'm this country and in Hawaii
| IL Us an Interest demanding that the
I greut power OF the United states be
] exercised lu Its behalf. This interest
/ Is maufesiug Itself in The United
I states senate; % demands Tor inter
veuuon in the affairs of Hawaii II IS
monlfcsuug itself In an arraignment
/ OF the president OF the United states
] because DE does not use the power of
the United states navy 10 maintain It's
interest ln Hawaii"
