TO COMPUTE THE COST.
Investigation Board to Inquire Into
Canal Propositions.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The meeting of
the river and harbor committee to-day
developed new phase Of the inter-
oceanic canal question. Chairman Bur-
ton took the lead in favoring full gov
eminent investigation, both of the Pan
anna and the Nicaragua route, before
committing the government, and after
the meeting Mr.. Burton expressed the
view that the sentiment of the commit
tee was opposed to the senate Nicara-
qua amendment and favored full in
vestigation. To that end he introduced
in the house bill to be proposed later
as substitute for the senate amend
ment. Its main features are as follows:
The government of the United States
declares its purpose to secure at the
earliest practicable 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
examinations necessary to ascertain the
most desirable and practicable route
for such canal and for the performance
of such other duties as the president
may direct; three from the corps of n
gineers of the army, two from the en-
gineers of the navy and two from civil
life.
The board shall investigate the pro-
posed routes for a canal between the
said oceans, giving special and personal
attention to the so-called Nicaragua
and Panama routes and shall compute
estimates Of the probable cost of con-
structing such canal or canals. They
shall also report upon the commercial
and military value to the people of the
United States of such canal route or
routes. The president may enter into
negotiations with the respective nations
owning the territory upon which canal
or canals may be constructed in order
to obtain the necessary land for the
construction of a suitable canal and to
acquire such rights in natural water
ways as may be necessary. He is also
required to enter into such negotiations
as he may deem necessary with any
other nations having rights in any way
connected with the construction or
operation of such canal or canals. The
president shall acquire, if possible, the
absolute title to necessary territory,
but If such absolute title cannot be OBJ
tanned he may acquire such rights or
and may cause Investigations to be
made to ascertain the route upon which
terms most favorable to exclusive con-
troll by the United States can be OBJ
tanned, but in no case shall obligations
be incurred or money paid to any COM
pany or individual for rights, easements
or privileges heretofore or hereafter ac-
quired with a view to the construction
of any such canal, except under author
ity given by further action of congress.
, One million dollars is appropriated TO
carry out the act. The information OBJ
tained or action that may be taken
shall be reported to congress at the be-
ginning of the next regular session.

UTAH'S BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
McCunc Says He Once Played Poker in
Montana.

montana.
Salt Lake. Feb. 27.-The legislative
bribery investigation took a wide range
to-day. and at times the ATTORNEYS for
the defense objected to questions which
they claimed had a tendency to bring
out facts not directly bearing on the
question under consideration A. w.
McCune, Senator Whitney and Repre-
sentative Law were the principal wit
nesses. The cross examination of Nc
Cune by Attorney Evans was taken up
Immediately after the committee met
McCune testified that when he had his
conversation with Law there was q
shadow of doubt about his election,
but that he told him not to vote for him
on roll call. but TO change his vote at
terwards; adding that there was more
honor in getting all the votes of the
legislature than part of them.
Attorney Evans asked McCune if he
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 lest $4,000 in a game
in Montana. Witness was asked if ne
had any arrangement with r. G. Cham
bers, by which he was to take the Her.
aid off his hands in case he was elected.
He said he had not, but that he had
contract with Chambers which he
would lay before the committee.
Senator Whitney testified that several
years ago, when he was in need Nc
Cune had sent him 500. which he re-
garded as loan. and which he thought
had never been repaid.
Representative Law was recalled and
questioned on the lines of his previous
testimony. By request of the attorneys
for the defense it was agreed that
Laws speech in the joint assembly in
which he made charges of bribery go
into the record as part of the proceed

AN ALLEGED ALLIANCE
Germany, France and Russia to
Undermine U. s. in Philippines.
POSTS STARTLING STORY
Article States That European Powers
Are to Combine and Stop Our
Policy OF Expansion En-
gland in the Way.

San Francisco, Feb. 27.-The Even
ing Post, in a sensational article pub
lished this afternoon, gives what pur-
ports to be some Of the inside history
Of triple alliance which has been
formed between Germany, France and
Russia, for the purpose of impeding
the expansion policy of the United
States, but more particularly to under
mine the increasing power of the
United States :.l the Philippines.
1t will be remembered that the Even
ing Post was the first newspaper in
the United States to tell of the admin
istration's purpose to seize the island
of Guam, giving, as it did, almost com
plete details of the seizure and the rea-
son therefor. The Post has at other
times published exclusive news regard
ing the attitude of Germany in the
Philippines and the action of officials
high in that governments service who
We're furnishing Aguinaldo and his CO.
horts with arms and ammunition. The
Posts authority for to-day's start
ling disclosures is the same that gave
1t most of it's previous stories of Ger
man intrigue, and the newspaper claims
its source to be absolutely reliable.
According to the Post this man has
SiNeH 10 the united states government
more important information concerning
the affairs in the Pacific than any
other person and that his information
cannot be questioned. He has just re-
turned from sojourn in Germany,
where he had entree into the highest
diplomatic circles. He said to the
Post:
Germany is planning a great coup
d'etat that not only means the acqui-
sition of the Philippine islands by that
government, but the defeat of the
American policy Of territorial expan-
sion.
"A German officer tolc me that Rus
STA and France had been drawn into
combination of three powers and that
Russia is getting all the ships posi-
Bile into the Pacific without exciting at
tention; that Germany is negotiating
with Argentine and Chill for the pur-
chase of three war vessels from each
government. These last vessels will
be manned by German officers and men
and will rendezvous at the Marshall
islands. When the proper time comes
the combined fleets of Ger many, Rus
STA and France will take possession or
the Philippines under the pretext Of
restoring order and protecting the cit
liens and interests of those, countries
The only feature to opera,e against this
plan, it is urged, will be the action of
England, and to combat this the at
tention of Great Britain will be taken
up elsewhere

comte opposed the bill as being unconsti-
tutional and as being an attack upon the
courts.
M. Besuiei defended the measure on the
ground that it would REPLACE legitimately
nal"
After M. Berenger had attacked the
governments bill and demanded that the
revision should be carried out under the
existing laws, he animadverted to the
grave errors of which some of the chiefs
of the army had been guilty. The pre-
mier M. Dupuy, thereupon, took up the
cudgels In behalf of the army, whose dis
cipline and respect of the law, he in
sisted, had never wavered. The house
then adjourned.
