Railroad RumOrS.

1t is a well known fact that the
Pennsylvania road has for years been
after the Buffalo division of the w. N.
Y. & p, but the latter company has
always refused to sell that part of it's
property unless the whole system was
taken. 1t is now stated that the Penn
sylvania people will take the whole
system, providing the price is not to
steep. The cause of this action is said
to be the desire of the Pennsylvania to
obtain through line to Buffalo, and
the holding of the Pan-American ex-
position in that city in 1901, will make
the line very valuable to this company
should they succeed in buying it.
Whether such a change would prove of
any value to Olean is doubtful, as it
would very likely result in the taking
away of the car shops located here.
Now that the purchase of the Buffalo
& st. Marys by the c. N. Y. & w. is
assured, there is no question but that
the narrow guage division from this
city will be made a standard guage
this summer, and the line extended
from Bolivar to Angelica to connect
with the Angelica branch. This
change will undoubtedly prove of
much benefit to Olean as this city will
very likely be made the Headquarters
of a number of men employed on the
line.-Olean Ledger.

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
The Ravlins Amendment for Absolute
American Control Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Almost the en-
tire session of the Senate to-day was de-
voted to consideration of the pending Mica
ragua canal bill. Speeches were made in
support of the measure by Mr.. Chiffon and
Mr.. Turner and in opposition to it by Mr..
Spooner. AT o'clock consideration of the
bill under the ffteen-minute rule was begun
and was continued to the close of the ses-
sion. The first vote reached was on an
amendment offered by Mr.. Rawlins, which,
in brief. provides that the United States
should have absolute control of the canal
for military and naval purposes, with power
to dictate the use of the waterway during
the existence of war. The friends of the
pending bill rallied against the amendment
and it was defeated by the decisive vote of
IS to 9. A provision was inserted in the bill
providing that no more than IS, OO0, 600 should
be paid the Maritime Canal Company for its
concession and work already done on the
canal. When adjournment was taken the
substitute measure offered by Mr.. Caffery
was before the Senate
Mr. Chiffon, in the course of his speech,
strongly advocated the construction of the
canal at as early time as possible. par
ticularly because of the commercial advan-
tages of such a. connection between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. The canal, he
said, would be of especial advantage to the
cotton-growing States, as its construction
would quite certainly invigorate the now
languishing cotton industry.
Mr.: Spooner regarded the project of the
canaPs construction as of Unreasonable
Importance, but in view of all the circum-
stances he did not see his way clear 10 sup
port the pending measure. He did not think
the people desired Congress to involve them
IN an expenditure aggregating from $780,
Vcc,WO to $500 coo without perfect under
standing and realization of the consequences
OF such action. In a discussion of the Gay
ton-Bulwer treaty, he said there was diff
ference of opinion as to whether 1t was
binding obligation in this case. His own
opinion was that IL was binding and he felt
that no action should be taken in the United
States that might imperil our relations with
Great Britain. The Anglo-Saxon bond was
never stronger than II is to-day. If the

treaty formed an obstruction to the build
ing of the canal he had no doubt that by
proper representation and negotiation the
obstruction could be removed. In any event
he maintained ii would be the part of hon
esty and good faith and dignity as well as
of natural safety to endeavor TO remove
that obstacle before the enactment of leg
islation relating to the project If Great
Britain should refuse TO accede to our prop
osition, then it would be time to take such
action as would subserve our national inter-
est. AT any rate. he said If there is any
question as to the application or the Cay
ton-Bulwer treaty to this matter we ought
to see that the obstruction is removed be-
fore proceeding further
Mr.. Rawlins's amendment, which was re-
1ected, follows: THAT this act shall not
take effect until the government OF the
United States shall have secured by conven-
tlon n WITH the governments OF Costa hlca
and Nicaragua, and with other governments
with which the United States may have
treaties inconsistent herewith the right TO
fortify and garrison the proposed canal and
to maintain armed vessels therein or upon
Lake Nicaragua, and to move military
forces through the territory of either of
said states for the purpose of protecting
the canal and the citizens of the United
States operating the same; also, the right
of passage through the canal of the armed
vessels, troops, munitions and supplies of
war OF the governments of the United
States Costa Rica and Nicaragua in case
either of said governments is at war with
any foreign government, with the right to
close the canal to the ships, troops and
munitions of war of such foreign govern
ment during the existence of such state of
war" The vote stood:
