SENATOR IURPIE IS RIGHT.
Sen. Berry Introduces a Bill
to Construct the Mic
araugua Canal.
SENATOR TURPIE TAKES ISSUE.
Re Says the Maritime Canal Company
is Corrupt, Venomous
and Rotten.
TURPIE TAKES ISSUE.

In the senate yesterday Senator
B=rry of Arkansas gave notice that
he would offer Nicaragua cana
bill, providing for the airect APP
preparation of money for the con-
struction of the canal and limiting
the cost to $4,000, 900, The
amendment provides for the con
struction of the canal by the Mari
tine company and gives the gov
ernment lien upon the property
to be foreclosed under circum-
stances fully enumerated.
Mr.. Berry stated the object OF
the amendment to be to eliminate
the bond feature of the bill.
Mr.. Rowlins also gave notice of
an amendment he woHld offer.
Senator Turpie then arose and
addressed the senate upon the Mic
aragua bill. In part he said
That none could excel him in zeal
in advocating the Isthmian canal,
but while he saw the vast adVau
tages of the proposed waterway he
was fully aware of the difficulties
in the way of putting the plan for
canal into execution. While not
opposed to the canal as such he
was opposed to the scheme of the
MarA,lme Company, and he de-
nOunced that company as the most
venomous and effective opponent of
a real canal company. He devel-
oped this line of attack at length,
denouncing it as scheme OF con-
6scation the object of the Maritime
company being, he declared not to
cut a canal, but to cut channel
OF communication dt the least pos
slble cost between the treasury OF
the United States and the empty
Golfers of that beggarly corpora
ton.
We endorse every word said by
Senator Turpie. If this govern
ment is going to put up the money
to cut this.caual, let thep elimi
nate all rotten concern s, as this
Maratime company has proven itself
to be, and place its own agents,
bosses and men under government
pay to cut it and then own and
operate it for the benefit of our
country.
We hope our Arkansas senator
will switch about on his Maratim
proposition and get on the track
with Senator Turpie.

At Augusta. M:
Augusta, Ca, Dec. 2O.-The dem
onstration in Augusta in honor of
President Mckinley was fitting eli
max to one of the most remarka BILE
presidential tours ever undertaken. At
Wheeler station, four miles from Au-
gusta, the party left the train and en-
tered carriages which were awaiting
them. The public road passes through
Camp Mckenzie, and on either side of
the road the various regiments were
drawn up. It was a magnificent spec
tacle and one of the most interesting
experiences in the whole tour. After
passing through the camp the route
lay through the United States arsenal
grounds and the village of Somerville,
where corps headquarters are located.
In the heart of the city reviewing
stand had been erected, from which
the president and his party reviewed
the cavalry. Gen. Wheeler was the hero,
Augusta being his birthplace. Gen.
Shafter was given an ovation. A
unique feature of the demonstration
was company of uniformed veterans
of the confederacy with their battle
SCARED flags waving with the stars and
stripes. The president was formally
welcomed by ex-Congressman J. C. c.
Black. The president spoke briefly,
giving expression to ideas previously
stated. Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Shafter,
Secretary Alger, Secretary Gage and
Postmaster-General Smith spoke brief
ly. After the speaking the party was
driven to the Commercial CLUB, where
a reception was rendered on behalf of
the citizens and delightful repast was
served. At half-past seven the journey
to Washington was resumed over the
Southern railway.
Back in Washington.

prominence the excellent conditions
and capabilities of the army. The
original object of the visit, to celebrate
the peace with Spain, lost it's signii-
