The NICARAGUA CANAL.
An Unsuccessful Effort to- Get IL Up
In the Sennte,

An unsuccessful effort was made in the
Senate yesterday to agree on time.
either Immediately OF at an early day next
December, for the consideration of the
Nicaragua Canal construction bill.
Mr.. Morgan called the matter up and
set forth the Importance OF action in this
direction. --a@
1t would be cheaper for America to con-
struct this canal. said Mr.. Morgan, than
to build a fleet for the Pacific sufficient
to cope with Germany. 1t would also
take less time TO construct the canal
than it would 10 build a fleet
Mr.. Turpie said he did not think this
IT easure should be considered until Ie-
port had been made by the commission
appointed some time ago 10 investigate
the feasibility OF the project
Mr.. Turpie spoke at some length on the
question, and said he was heartily In
favor of the construction of the canal
by this Government but he did not IA
vor the proposed method. He spoke If
the great advantages of the fresh water
lake through which the canal is to pass
a vessel staying in fresh water for
twenty-four hours would be freed from
all its barnacIes. This advantage, Mr.
Turpie said, he had never Heard spoken of
by the advocates of the canal.
No agreement was reached as to a time
for taking the bill up.

Nearing Adjournment.

The House resolution, passed yester-
day, providing for adjournment at 2
o'clock today, was not adopted by the
Senate, but it may be decided this
morning TO terminate the session today
or tomorrow.
In some respects this is unfortunate
Congress ought not to adjourn without
disposing Of the most important and
imperative measures now before Il.
The census bill ought to be considered
and passed at once. 1t is extremely de-
sirable that there should be superin-
tendent and staff of experts appointed
To lay out the work and prepare
scheme of organization free from the
haphazard methods which have
marked the initiation OF previous emu
merations, because there was no time
in which to do the preliminary work
with order and deliberatiCn. If action
will be another wild scramble TO get
into shape, such as occurred in connec-
tion with the Eleventh Census, and it
Will be unavoidable.
AS to another pressing matter, the
country will regret if it does not resent
present Indifference to legislation on
the subject of the Nicaragua Canal
That magnificent national project, the
success of which would advance the
United States to the foremost place
among the commercial powers of the
earth. has been hanging in the air many
years too long, and there is not sen
ator or member endowed with ordinary
sense who does not know that to neg
lect the opportunity we have at present
to settle. the matter involves danger
that our concessions may be voided,
and the enterprise itself rendered diff
cult and complicated internationally, if
it be not rendered impossible to us.
Finally, it is wrong and unjust
to a service TO which the American peo-
pie. owe undying gratitude for two glo
rious victories and many heroic actions.
that an adjournment is even mentioned
in advance of consideration Of and ac-
tion upon the navy personnel bill. The
reforms it provides for are more urg-
entity needed nov, in a state of war
than ever before.
Congress has done someth ng in pro-
viding literally for the conduct of the
war and in passing the resolution pro-
viding for the annexation Of Hawaii.
and on the whole, perhaps. the accom-
plishments Of the session have been
more fruitful than usual. But these
three measures we have referred to
should, in justice. have Immediate ac-
ton.

sued bulletin announcing that Com
modore Watson had been ordered to

This movement IS a desirable one. and
the only possible criticism to be made
is that it ought to have been under

one thing needed, as an educational ar

A cynical but truth-loving foreign OBJ

For two generations at least this coun-
try has made frantic and nearly ALWAYS
successful efforts TO cIothe its officers

courage the masses to keep in tha paths
of peace. and frighten them off from
the other thing. At the period of the
Civil War. our men in shoulder straps
Were strangely arrayed in garments
which made them look like a cross be-
tween a knight Templar and a Metho-
dist circuit rider. Improvements"
later did not greatly add to the at
tractiveness Of their appearance. Little
in the line Of dress reform has been
accomplished TO date. The golden an

THE SENATE OBJECTS.
May Postpone the Adjournment I'm
til Monday


The House is ready and willing to ad-
journ at any hour the Senate may fix.
the sooner the better for the members
of the former body
But the Senate is deliberating.
The concurrent resolution. which was
passed by the House, fixing 2 p. m, to-
day as the hour. Of adjournment, was
sent to the Senate, where 1t was referred
to the Appropriations Committee and
there it was hung up for the day.
1t was urged by some of the senator's
that there was no necessity for fixing the
hour of adjournment IN a hurry; that
to agree to the House proposition with
out taking time to- examine the status
of the business might throw out some
measures in which senators We're inter
ested. II was adn1stted that no measures
of grave iFnpoTta remained to be
passed. but 1t twas. suggested that the
Senate would be better prepared to de-
eide the hour Tor final adjournment to-
day. The members of the Appropriations
Committee acquiesced in this view.
In the Senate, open objection was made
TO agreeing to thss House resolution.
Mr.. Hawley, who Is interested in get
ting action on bill to provide for the
enlistment of $1,000 colored troops in the
volunteer army. said that in his opinion
II would be utterly impossible to adjourn
at the time fixed by the House without
leaving undone much business that ought
to be cleaned up.
There are MANY nominations that
ought to be confirmed" he continued,
"and the failure TO do 50 will leave many
commands in the army unprovided for,
and. besides there are number of bills
TO be considered that are of the utmost
Importance"
journment today Mr. Allison suggested
that it would be well TO send the resolu-
ton TO the committee. where these mat
tiers would be considered. which action
was at once taken.
There were many conflicting conject-
ures afterwards made as to what the ac-
ton of the committee would be. Some
senators who were anxious to get away
predicted that Congress would quit some
time today. perhaps late in the afternoon
Others were sure an adjournment would
not be agreed to until Saturday and
some suggested Monday.
The bill allowing volunteers to vote
in the field. which was so earnestly press
ed on Wednesday, was not brought up
yesterday and it Is likely its eonsidera-
ton win not be urged further at this ses-
sion. Senator Hoar, its most jealous
champion, has left the city and thus this
obstacle to adjournment is removed.
The Senate viii, most likely, yield to
the pressure and agree TO some hour to-
day. probably or 6 O'Clock this after
noon.

BILE and neutral-tinted thing the khaki
uniform was intended to be, the article
furnished by the department is a blaz-
ing target for Mauser rifles. Aitired in
IL, we do notrsee howua man at thous-
and yards could avoid beng hit even #
he wanted to- He would look TO an ex-
perienced sharpshooter like bird of
paradise if-n not a oockatoo.
Seriously, we beg the proper author
ity TO take notice of this matter. 1t is
not necessary that the color denoting
the arm of the service should BE- spread
all over a soldiers clothes to attract the
fire OF the enemy. A little disc cf cloth
on collar or elbow would serve all nee
essary purposes of identification. Be
sides that, a plain canvas uniform with
out trimmings looks proper and neat
enough, while the compositions of pri-
mary color with yellow duck are offens-
i've enough to correct taste to encCur-
age wholesale desertion.
