The NicaraSuan Canal.

The judgment Of those senators who have
remained m the city during tho recess is that
the Nicaragua Canal bill cannot pass Mt this
session. 1T Is not favorable time 10 urge
such measure said Senator Davis. Of the
Foreign Relations Committee. Times have
been 50 hard and the people lid not like tho
prospects Of increasing expenses or OF Great
lng an additional debt. The short session Of
Congress l. not u favorable time to urge
such a measure. rs su1iccat time can be
easily consumed 10 secure the defeat"
There are other senators who discuss the
subject IN much the same way. Several Of
those who favor the project tEink that tho
present consideration Of tho measure is n
good thiis; rs more Or less discussion IL
bound 10 be had. This is the view OF senator
White. who iavOrs th" canal, but does not zee
tue possibility Of getting the bill through at
