House Commerce Committee Will Re-
port "a Dill FavOring Construction.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-The special SUBJ
committee on the Nicaragua canal of the
House committee on commerce, which has
been delaying for some weeks the beginning
of its work that President Cleveland might
furnish Congress with the report of the
commission which visited the Isthmus last
summer has concluded to wait no longer
and tomorrow will begin to draft a BILL
Chairman Hepburn, of the commerce COM
mittee, selected seven members to compose
the subcommittee about three weeks ago.
These gentlemen desired to have in hand
all possible information on the project be-
fore they recommended any plan to the
House for constructing the canal: more
over, they thought their action might be
construed into discourtesy toward the Pres-
dent if they should proceed independently of
the views of the commission or should seem
to ignore the commission. IL Is understood,
however, that President Cleveland has been
unable TO find any time for studying the
various phases international, engineering
and financial, which the canal project in
wolves because of the other matters of
dominant Importance, notably the VeneZue-
Ian boundary and the maintenance of the
gold reserve, which have been constantly
before him since this Congress met. That
IL the report brought from the White
House by members who have spoken with
the President urging him to use his in
fiuence in aid of the movement for gov
ernment control of the canal. In view of
the probability that Congress will reach an
early adjournment, about the 1st OF June,
the committee fears TO delay its under
taking longer.
No forecast of the probable lines of the
canal bill can be had from the seven men,
hers of the committee as they say that
there has been no discussion yet except of
n tentative sort, but they believe that the
plans which were before the last Congress
can be improved on. They believe that they
will be able TO report plan to the House
we'll within a month IT, in the meantime,
the President furnishes the reports of the
commission that will be given due con-
sderation. Mr.. Sherman, OF New York. the
chairman OF the subcommittee, and Mr..
Doolittle, Of Wes5hisecr its second mem
ber, believe that this Congress will Start
the canal. The congressional contingent
from the Pacific slope is enthusiastic for
the canal and Pacific cable to the Ha-
waiian islands and Japan. The only Stun
bling block which they can see is the op-
position of Mr.. Reed and other Republican
leaders TO increased appropriations, on ac-
count of the condition OF the treasury,
which has been demonstrated in all of the
appropriation bills reported up to date and
in the work Of the committees on public
buildings, rivers and harbors Mr. Doolittle
thinks that this policy cannot apply against
an agreement by the government to guaran-
tee the bonds OF the canal company.

vICKsBURG MILITARY PARK.
Plnn and Scope of the Bill Reported
to the House.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The bill provid-
ing for the establishment of the Vicksburg
National Military Park where the princi-
pal operations of the war in and around
that city were carried on, has been re-
ported to the House by Representative
B.snop, of Michigan, from the military af-
fairs committee. The whole amount of the
land embraced in the proposed reservation
covers about 100 acres, the cost of which
is not to exceed $4,000. The s25 900 addi-
tlonal, which the bill proposes to appropri-
ate, will be used in making accurate sur
veys of the various lines of both the Union
clearing the grounds, and. so far possi-
BILE, in restoring the various forts, re-
doubts and entrenchments connected with
that memorable siege. The entire plan
upon that adopted in the establishment of
the Chickamauga Park, except that the
cost will be only a fraction Of the amount
devoted to the Chickamauga. field.

referred to the ways and means committee
and reported back with a recommendation
that the Senate substitute be nonconcurred
in. which. in parliamentary language, would
mean that the House insists on its bill IL
will then remain for the Senate, which also
will insist on its bill, TO request a confer
ence. IL is there that some OF the members
at each end Of the Capitol hope TO effect
compromise, but the prevailing opinion Is
that the bill will die in conference The
week, except the portion devoted 10 the
bond bill and the Bayard resolution, will
be given up to continuation of the work
on the appropriation bills. The District of
Columbia bill is still under consideration.
The agricultural and army bills have been
reported and the Indian bill Is almost ready.
They will probably be taken up in the order
named.
The Senate has no well-defined plan for
this weeks proceedings. There will be no
session on Monday. 1t is possible, though
by no means certain, that the finance COM
mittee will be able 10 report the revenue
tariff bill on Tuesday, the matter still de-
pending on Senator Jones, of Nevada. IL
the bill should be reported there will prob
based on it, but consideration OF the meas
ure would scarcely be seriously begun this
cured as promptly as is hoped by the
friends of the bill. The committee on ap-
preparations will claim good share of the
time that the Senate will be in session.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill has
already been reported, and the Military
Academy and pension bills will be put in
early iE the week. None of these will ex-
cite any prolonged debate, and 1T is alto
gether probable that all will be disposed of
before the week closes. The Cuban and
Monroe doctrine resolutions are also on
the calendar, and can be taken up at any
time. There Is more or less executive busi-
ness to claim attention, and the general
calendar has been growing rapidly the
result OF committee work while the silver
bond bill has been Calming the attention
of the Senate. Under these circumstances
the week bids fair to be one of diversified
interest. with no one topic claiming at
tention.

WOMAN AND TWO MEN
COMMIT SUICIDE IN THE CITY OF
CHURCHES ON THE HOLY DAY.
Mrs. Schwarz Uses a Pistol, Gas md
Laudanums Henry Burns, beer and
Poison, and r.. e. Rogers, Pistol.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. 2.-One woman
and two men committed suicide in this city
to-day. The most sensational suicide was
that of Mrs. Augusta Schwarz, a wealthy
widow. who owned a handsome residence
in Berkeley place, the aristocratic section
Of Brooklyn. For some time past she has
been a constant sufferer from neuralgia,
and that, together with the fact that her
husband, Anton Schwarz, a prominent
member of the Brewers Exchange, had
been found dead about a year ago under pc
culiar circumstances, In New York city,
had given her great mental worry. She
shot herself through the mouth this morn
ing. and when her son rushed into the
room he discovered that his mother had
placed several rubber tubes over the gas
jets and them across the bed where
she lay. He also found an empty bottle,
which, 1t is believed. contained a quantity
of laudanum.
Henry Burnse, a German, fifty years old,
killed himself my drinking a mixture of
strychnine and lager beer during, 1t is said,
a fit of temporary insanity.
Because he was reduced from the posi-
ton of foreman to that of conductor on
the Reade-avenue trolley line, Raynor z.
Rogers, thirty-six years old, shot himself
in the head and died soon afterwards.
