CRISIS REACHED
'herman FOreShadOwS a
New Canal Plan.
Uncle Sam Will Be in Sole
and Absolute Control.
The Senate Recommits Nicaragua
Bill to the Committee.

Washington. Jan. PA crisis In the
debate on the Nicaragua bill was
reached In the senate late yesterday.
IL brought out an energetic statement
from Senator Sherman, in which he
foreshadowed a new treaty by which
the United States could build the canal
without the intermediation OF a private
concession. The senator declared that
this governmental execution OF the
project was the only feasible one, and
that all private efforts In that direction
had proved failures. Answering Mr..
Morgan's recent charges. that England
inspired opposition TO American control
OF the canal. Mr.. Sherman asserted that
this was "bugaboo." wholly without
foundation. He added a handsome
tribute to England and her institutions.
Mr.. Villas followed with a motion TO
recommit the canal bill to the commit
tee on foreign relations, a step which
Mr.. Morgan characterized as an insult.
The motion was changed. so as TO make
the recommittal TO the special commit
tee OF which Mr. Morgan is chairman.
The senate adjourned before n vote was
taken. and the Villas motion TO recon-
nit is pending. The military academy
appropriation Sbill. carrying. approxi-
mately si79O0O. was passed. after the
defeat Of the amendment for participa-
tion OF the West Point cadets In the
inauguration ceremony. The amend
ment led TO a sharp controversy be-
tween Mr. Allen OF Nebraska and Mr.
Gray of Delaware. The bill for an In.
ternational monetary conference was
not reported during the d4y.
The house, after a debate OF four
hours. adopted the conference report on
the immigration bill, by vote OF l3l
to lis. The principal criticism OF the
easure agreed on by the conferees in
the debate was based upon the exten.
sion Of the education test to female as
well as male immigrants. on the ground
that IL might divide families, and TO the
limitation OF the ability OF an immigrant

stuck at the foot of the hill and 1t took a
long time to move them. Randall square
merchants were fearful of rain for they
knew what a large river the square
would become should there be q sudden
change Ia temperature.

He held up good signes ring-the ring

been ever in his mind that he must return
to his abode OF suffering when a few hours
had passed, he would have said thath heaven
had been too good TO him and that he was
not worthy OF such happiness.
But the shadow OF the dungeon lay
upon him like the shadow of the living
death. He thought still TO hear the dread
ful tapping of the water. still TO feel the
touch OF the creeping things; still TO be
entombed in the very bowels of the earth
with all the weight of that mighty stone

about him, the figures OF the men, the
torches and lanterns of the guards, the
open square before the Halls or Justice,

Coventry to secure orders for tubes. No
one knew how or where he was to procure
these tubes, but, inasmuch as Hooleys

and valuable business.
Without further delay the British public
was invited to invest $3,G00.CoO in the
Swedish Tube Company, which it was
proposed to establish at Coventry for the
purpose of filling the orders secured by
Mr. HooIey's agent. The money was sub
scribed for ten times over. Hooley's share

that the factory has been built, is in
