TILLMAN SEES A STEAL
In Some of the Proposed Nicaragua
Canal Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Following Mr..
Bacon's speech in the senate yesterday
the Nicaragua canal bill was taken up
and remained under discussion until o
o'clock Amendment after amendment
was voted down and until almost the
last minute it seemed likely that vote
on the measure would be reacheo' pul
lust as a final vote was about to be
called for Mr. Allison (Rep-, Ia.), ex-
pIoded a bomb under the bill by offer
ing an amendment providing that the
secretary of the treasury should issue
bonds to raise money with which to
construct the canal.
The friends of the measure then con-
scented to an adjournment.
Mr. Thurston (NebO announced tnas
he would vote for the substitute offered
by Mr.. Caffery, because he believed the
United States ought to construct the
canal without any reference to any
of the substitute he would support the
Morgan bill He thought the canal
ought to be built and characterized it
as the one great national necessity OF
our times
In advocating the Morgan bill, Mr..
HawIey Comm said the canal must be
built; that it is an absolute necessity
to our present civilization.
LEAVE IT TO MCKINLEY.
Mr.. Hoar said the canal ought to be
built and built forthwith by this gov
eminent He desired to put the question
in the hands of the president. He at
tached little Importance to the nature
of the bill passed by the senate, as 1t
would be reviewed in any event by the
house.
Mr.. Rawlins CUtah) opposed the Nor
gan bill, because if constructed the
canal would be of no military or naval
advantage to the United States under
the provisions of the bill.
Mr. Teller said he would vote for the
substitute offered by Mr.. Caffery. as he
believed there was better prospect for

WORCEsTER's CHAMPIONS.
Fame of the City Has Been Carried Into
Every Part of the World Where
Sport Is Recognized.

Worcester Is the home Of athletic
champions. In almost every branch OF
athletics, Worcester is in the lend.
Some are national champions, others
have established a claim for the cham
pionship of the world,
And Worcester is a place for making
championship records. Some of its ath-
letes have made records in ether
places; and other athletes have estab-
lished their worlds records in Worees-
ter.
All over the world the fame Of this
city has extended in the athletic line.
In countries across the water, where
any attention is paid to sport, Wor-
cester athletes have competed or are
sought for on account of their pre-
eminent ability.
Who is entitled to first place among
the men who have added champion
ship medal to Worcester's galaxy, is
hard to tell. The competitions have
been varied, the specialties of the men
are not such that a proper comparison
can be made In one thing only al
they similar; Worcester men have ex-
celled
Ine champion VINO undoubtedly made
the widest reputation in any BRANCH of
competition is Edward H Ten Eyck,
the youthful sculler. Ten Eyck is ma :
tional champion among the amateurs,
and two years ago proved himself en-
titled TO the worlds championship, if
that title existed. His winning of the
diamond SOULS on the Henley regatta
course placed him the foremost anna
teur sculler of the world Ten Eyck
has record that belongs to no other
sculler who rows in the amateur ranks.
1t is an unbroken record. Since he first
rowed races he has never yet been de-
feated, and than cannot be said rof5any
other sculler in the amateur ranks to-
day.
Ten Eyck is not yet 20 years of age.
Tut ne has won honors that would
make man of 20 years rowing expe-
rience proud. When he won his Junior
race in Boston in 1895, nobody irnag-
lned his rise would be so rapid. He won
his intermediate at Saratoga in 1895
and that fell rowed a match race with
joe Whitehead, who won the senior
championship at Saratoga in the Same
regatta that Ten Eyck got his inter
mediate championship The match race
stamped him as world heater. He

turn time in this city, and it stands to-
day as the fastest time ever made under
similar conditions. Hanan rowed three
miles at the lake in Ism. 23s. bringing
another championship to Worcester.
But greatest of all champions is The
Spy, which holds all kinds of records
in the way of gathering live news and
placing it before the peeple of Wor-
cester IN legitimate way.
Harry L. Dadmun isn't following the
athletic track to any extent now, but
few years ago he was a champion of
champions. Dadmun won the cham
pionship of America in 1890. in tne half
mile run, doing the distance in I'M
80 los. He holds the championship Of
France In the half-mile. He made the
record when he went across the biz
pond with the Manhattan Athletic club
athletes. Dadmun is one of the best
natural runners that ever put on a
shoe, and is also one of the best indoor
runners that ever turned a corner.
