counter in the matter of granting conces-
sons, and when Mr.. Turpie interrupted him
with the statement that this was not an ex-
preston of amity toward Nicaragua, he re-
torted that Mr. Turpie was growing sensa
tonal on the subject. He declared that
Mr. Grace's purpose in getting new con-
tract was not to build canal but to own
ito hold up the government. He de-
nounced this concession as "rascally con-

Mr.. Grace had called on him twice in one
day without being invited, and had urged
the abandonment of government aid. In
reply to a question from him, Mr.. Grace
had said he expected to get his money to
build the canal from London. This fact
showed where we were drifting, and was
there a senator who would be willing to see
the canal under the control of foreigners?
