TURPiE GIVES NOTICE.
VIII Speak Against Nicaragua Canal
This Week.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Jan. 17.-Senator Turpie
gives notice of his intention to make
speech in opposition to the Nicarauguan
canal His argument last session was the
strongest made on that side of the case and
his speech this time will be along the same
lines The discussion in che Senate will
begin tomorrow and last three or four
days. and the friends of the bill expect 1T
to pass that body by handsome majority.
If these expectations are verified then il
will be taken up in the House and forced
through. If the rules committee refuses
TO give it a hearing the advocates will try
m run over the committee, claiming to be
strong enough TO do so. The bill VIII
lead TO considerable debate before voted on,
but its advocates are very hopeful or its
massage. Senator Morgan will have charge
of the measure in the Senate. and will try
to reach vote before the end of the week.
His success in that undertaking will depend
ON whether there are many senators who
desire to be heard on the bill. So far very
few have indicated an intention to speak.
Senator Perkins will, make an effort. if
opportunity offers, to get up the bill for a
nonpartisan labor commission, ana IN this
he likely will be antagonized by Senator
FRYE with the Hawaiian cable bill.
Senator Chandler Will introduce the eau
Gus committees bill for an international
monetary conference on Monday and viii
ask TO have IL voted on Tuesday without
going through a committee. So far Senator
Pettigrcw is the only member Of the Senate
who has announced an intention to oppose
the bill by vote. though II is expected that
OF hers. while giving IL no effective oppOSl-
tion. will take the position that nothing can
be accomplished by international action.
