The resolution of Burton for an inquiry
was Informally discussed, but no ac-
ton was taken. Burton has found old
treaties made by Nicaragua with
Great Britain and France in 1860
guaranteeing them the same privileges
in the matter of canal rights as other
countries. These treaties had not been
abrogated, and Burton contended that
they were an obstacle to the construc-
ton of the canal by the United States.

TRIAL OF JESSE JAMES.
Defense in the Train Robbery Case
Tries to Prove an Alibi.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 21.-The defense
in the train robbery case of Jesse
James to-day endeavored to prove an
alibi for the defendant, and to impeach
or disprove the prosecutions witnesses,
especially passenger w. j. Smith, who
on Saturday identified James as one
of the robbers 1t was divulged that
Smith had once been arrested for steal
ing flour. The past life and character
of James and his general good repu-
tation in this community, where he has
lived since he was a child, will be
shown by the defense before it closes.
A feature of the days proceedings
was the appearance of Mrs. Zerelda
Samuels, II years old, mother of the
notorious James brothers and grand
mother of the defendant. She testified
that she was at the James home OIL
the night of the robbery and that Jesse
was sitting on the porch with her when
they heard the explosion of the dyna-
mite that wrecked the express safe.
Jesse James mother, his sister and the
defendant himself gave testimony to
the same effect.
Mrs. Samuels attracted much atten-
ton in the courtroom. Mrs. Samuels
carries one empty sleeve, her right arm
having been shot off by detectives who
bombarded her house in attempting to
arrest her notorious sons.

PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Germany Said to be Planning to
Defeat the Administrations.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 81. The

some of the inside history of a triple

by Germany, France and Russia for

policy of the United States. but more
particularly to undermine the increas-

He said to the POST Germany is

the defeat of the American policy OF

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The officials of
the German Foreign Office have noti-
fled the United States Embassy that
the Government will hencefortil admit
American oranges, lemons and rsisins

American fresh and dried fruits will
be allowed to pass in bond through
Germany without being examined The
decisions are based on the favorable re-
ports of the German experts sent to
America.
The question whether dried fruit sent
abroad is harmless, especially FOR the
transmission of San Jose and other in
sects and whether the fruit may be inn
ported without previous examination,
has not yet been decided.
The probability is that the decision
will bel favorable to American interests.
The officials of the United States EN-

the authorities at Washington.

terward, adding that there was more
honor in getting all the votes Of the
Legislature than part of them
Attorney Evans asked McCune if ne
ever engaged in poker playing. The
witness admitted that he played with
gentlemen occasionally, but not for
large sums, and admitted that he once
could have won Or lost 50 900 in a game

INDEBTEDNESS VOID.
Decision in the Case of the Brown
Valley Irrigation District.

MARYSVILLE, Feb. 21.-Judge Gray
of the Superior Court has decided that
the total bonded indebtedness amount
ing to $4,000 of Browns Valley Irri-
cation District is void.
The decision is based upon Irregular
ties in the original petition for the
formation of the district, omissions IN
the publications of the advertisements
offering bonds for sale, and owing to
the fact that the issue of bonds was
not based upon any sufficient plans and
specifications of knowledge of the pro-
posed work.
The district embodies $4,000 acres OF
low oot-hills, beginning twelve miles
east of Marysville, and the works con-
sist of a ditch now carrying 2,ooO
inches of water, the same having been
completed and in operation for several
years.
Counsel for the petitioners declare
that this decision practically wipes out
the bonds, there being no appealable
grounds.

INTEROCEANIC CANAL.
New Phase in Question Develops in
River and Harbor Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The meet
ing of the River and Harbor Commit
tee to-day developed a new phase of
the interoceanic canal question. Chair
man Burton took the lead in favoring
a full Government investigation, both
of the Panama and the Nicaragua
routes, before committing the Govern
ment.
After the meeting Mr.. Burton ex-
pressed the view that the sentiment of
the committee was opposed to the
Senate Nicaragua amendment, and ia
vored full investigation. To that end
he introduced in the House a bill, to
be proposed later as a substitute for
the Senate Nicaraguan Canal amend
ment. It's main features are as fol-
lows: 'tThe Government of the United
States declares it's purpose to secure at
the earliest practical date the cOnstruc-
ton of canal connecting the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans. A board of
seven engineers shall be appointed by
the President to make the surveys and
examination necessary to ascertain the
most desirable and practicable route
for such canal, and for the perform
ance of such other duties as the Pres
ident may direct-three from the Corps
of Engineers in the army, two engin--
GERS of the navy and two from civil
life.
1.-THE board shall investigate the pro-
posed routes for a canal between the
said oceans, giving special and per-
sonal attention to the proposed canal
in Nicaragua and Panama routes, and
shall complete estimates of the prob
able cost of constructing such canal
or canals They shall also report upon
the commercial and military value to
the United States of such canal route
or routes.
1.-THE President may enter into nego-
tiations with the respective nations
owning the territory through which
such canal or canals may be con-
structsd, in order to obtain the neces
sary land for the construction of q
suitable canal and to acquire sucf1
rights In natural waterways as may be
necessary. He is also required 10 e-:.V.
