strenuous opposition of all who oppose
this country's acquiring sovereignty over
territory in distant regions. The critics
of the Hepburn bill say it would be far
better to acquire the whole of Nicaragua
than strip of its territory, dividing that
country into two parts without 'sposses-

tee on Interstate aud Foreign Commerce.

The committee has not given the bill
consideration as yet It was expected to
do so at its meeting on Tuesday, but the
Pure Food bill had the right of way and
took precedence and all the time of the
committee. This latter measure is
arousing considerable interest in Con-

foreign countries.

that while be does not expect his meas
