without arbitration large part Of the territory
comprised in Vcnezuca's extreme claim and to

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Circulation of a Petition Asking for
Delay.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec TO-
Within an hour after it's circulation be-
gan there were SO names on petition
drawn up by Representative ,Doolittle
of Washington, asking the Committee
on Rules for time for the consideration
of the Nicaragua canal bill. Before the
day passed 100 members had affixed
their signatures and tonight Mr.. Doc
little said: 81 believe we Will have no
difficulty in securing the names of
of the House to this petition. The
Committee on Rules will then have at
least an excuse for giving us time for
the measure. And L am now confident
that with two days consideration we
will succeed. If ever the bill comes
before the House it will pass. All the
missionary work has been done. The
measure has been so well discussed shat
the House needs little time for it,"
Senator Morgan assumes that the
same condition exists in the Senate.
He says: IF the bill is passed it will
be sent to the President at once. OPP
position is made in some quarters to
the measure on the grounds of the ex-
pense. They do not believe a country
in such a condition can undertake to
guarantee bonds of 800, 900 900 for the
advancement of the project during the
time of construction. Chairman Can
non of the Appropriation Committee
made this point today, but 1 do not
believe he will stick to it against the
bill if it comes up before Congress.
On every side is encouragement for the
friends of the measure. The Pacific
