MARITIME CANAL COMPANY.
President Hitchcock Given n Henr.
ing Before the Committee.

The Maritime Canal Company had its in
ming before the House Committee on Com
merce yesterday. Hiram Hitchcock, presi-
dent OF the company; A. T. Mason, coun-
sci for the company. and former Senator
Warner Miller, formerly president of the
company appeared. Mr. Hitchcock took
up nearly all the morning session, and Mr.
Mason the afternoon.
Mr. Mason discussed the legal points of
the situation as il concerned the rights OF
the Maritime Company. He explained that
the concession from Costa Rica to the
Maritime Company VIII not expire till
February, 1901. two years hence. This con-
cession gave the company exclusive rights.
SO that the assumption of the Grace syndi-
cate that it would have no difficulty In OBJ
tanning concession from Costa Rica
might be incorrect.
He contended that Nicaragua had yio-
lated the concession TO the Maritime Com
pany by granting another concession with

which she had positively bound herself
not TO do. Hence, the witness argued, the
later concession was void. Further. the
company having shown good will and
ability" to construct the canal and having
spent great sums of capital" on the Ca
nal, it was entitled to the ten years ex-
tension promised in the original conces-
sion.
President Hitchcock discussed the finan-
ciai aspects and prospects of the com
pany. He said that he knew from the in
formation OF skilled engineers that il
would cost 100000, 900 TO complete the
Panama Canal. which would then be in
operative during several months of the
year on account Of lack OF water to oper-

ing small quantity OF iodine in the arsenal
grounds shortly before . O'Clock yesterday after

who happened along about the time the act was

the Emergency Hospital ambulance.
When the young woman arrived at the hos

serious, and the physicians, after applying the
usual remedies questioned her in an effort to
learn tho cause OF the rash act. Miss Brown, as
she styled herself. observed the greatest rcticenoc
about the affair, and conveyed the impression
that the she had given fictitious.
II was said afterward that Miss Brown was in
love with soldier stationed at the arsenal, and
had quarTced with him. This WAS assigned as
the cause for the alleged attempt ut suicide.

Secretary Gage appeared before the

Measures yesterday 10 submit certain sug-
ges;ions and amendments to the Hill bill
to regulate the coinage of the country.
now pending in committee.
The Secretary opposed the proposed tax
OF one-eighth of 1 per cent on the total
value OF the capital surplus and profits
of national banks. He thought that the
profits Of banking were now so small that
this tax would drive them out of business.
The Secretary contrasted the burdens un-
der which national banks labored compared
with trust companies. He explained that
national banks were compelled to pay in
| local taxation two and one-half times as
much as trust companies. and they were
required 10 carry large reserves, which
trust companies were not. He did not
| think it fair that this additional burden
should be placed upon them.
The Secretary also objected to the gold
reserve being held liable for the redemp-
| ton of subsidiary coinage, holding that it
was unnecessary and merely tended TO
| complicate matters.
| The committee will hold another meet
| ing this morning and hopes TO report the
