Only Question Settled by Mr. Hep
BURNS House COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign commerce
to-day failed 10 agree on the basis of Mic
araguan canal BILL Chairman Hepburn sub
mftted to the committee five propositions
for the purpose of testing the sense of the
committee before beginning the preparation
of a bill. Only two of these reached a vote.
One of them. the main one that a bill for
the construction of a canal should be re-
ported received the unanimous assent of the
committee. That Is as far as the committee
went to-day. The other four propositions
were substantially as follows That the ca
nal should be built and owned by the United
States; that it should be built on land over
which the United States exercises owner
ship and sovereignty; that it should be built
directly under the authorization and control
of War Department engineers, in accord
ance with the general plan of river and har-
Dor work or under a commission such rs
has control over the improvement OF the
Mississippi river.
The discussion developed the fact that
there are two general divisions i'm the COM
mittee: first. those who desire that the gov
ernment shall proceed de novo with negotia-
lions with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for
acquiring sovereignty over a strip Of land
and then build the canal as a government
enterprise without regard TO existing conces-
sions Chairman Hepburn champions this
plan. The other division desires that work

STEAMER ST. PAUL SAFE
HER DELAY DUE TO A FLAW IN THE
MAIN STEAM PIPE.
Forced to Cross the Atlantic at About
Half Her Usual Speed-StOrmy
Weather Encountered.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-The belated Amer
lean line steamer st. Paul. Captain Jami-
son, which sailed from Southampton on jan
/, arrived at quarantine at $50 this evening,
after an eveptful and unusually stormy
passage. The st. Paul left Southampton
on Jan. l. shortly after noon, and entered
the channel in the teeth of a fresh west
southwest gale, with heavy breakings. On
the I'd the wind still blew from the west,
with a heavy sea. On the Sd the wind in
creased in fury and blew with terrific force
At noon of this date, the ships position be-
ing latitude 5:17, longitude 2202 Chief En-
gineer Hunter, who was making his usual
inspection of the steamers engines discov-
cred flaw or crack in the main steam pipe
supplying the starboard engine. Captain
Jamison was quickly notified of the condi-
ton Of the steam pipe, and it was decided
to reduce the pressure of steam on both en-
gines to 100 pounds, just one-half the en-
gines' capacity when running at full speed.
The steamer proceeded on her voyage, MAX
ing twelve and one-half to fourteen knots
per hour, as the state of the weather per-
mitted During the remainder of her pas
sage a careful watch was kept on the dis
abled steam pipe, which showed no further
weakness. During the following days the
St. Paul experienced most tempestuous
weather. gales shifting with high seas. The
passengers on the St. Paul, on being in
formed of the accident to the steam pipe
and somewhat protracted voyage in con-
sequence, took the matter good naturally,
and on arriving at quarantine complimented
Captain JamisOn and Chief Engineer Hun
ter and his staff for their good seamanship
in bringing the steamer to port after
perilous voyage. The st. Paul, after a brief
inspection by the health officer at quaran-
tine, proceeded to her dock about Z p. m.
She brought $50 passengers.
The American liner New York was
brought down to the company's pier to-day
and will sail for England tomorrow in place
of the st. Paul. This will be the New
York's first trip as a merchantmen since
her transformation into the auxiliary cruiser

Three transatlantic line steamers name
~, the Geera from Bremen; Pomeranian,

this morning and reported unusually rough
and stormy weather on the Atlantic.

shall begin at once under the existing con-
cessions of the Maritime Canal Company,
if feasible, or any other agency. The latter
believe it would be a mistake to proceed
de novo. Besides they affirm that the Con-
stitution of Nicaragua prohibits the aliena-
ton of any of her territory TO foreign
power The opponents of Chairman Hep
burns plan had the majority when the test
came on the proposition that the canal
should be built and owned by the United
States. Mr.. Sherman, of New York, offered
an amendment providing that 1t should be
built by the United States or any other
agency (the Maritime Canal Company. UNI
der government control. This amendment
carried, to 6, but when the amended prop
osition was put to vote Mr.. Mann, of Ill
inois, who had voted for the amendment,
declined to vote. This made a tie, and the
whole proposition was lost The committee
then voted down two propositions for spe-
cial meetings and adjourned, leaving matters
in rather chaotic condition, the only thing
decided being the necessity for the COLI
struction of a canal and the decision to re-
port a measure which would provide for its
construction.
The Senate to-day agreed that after 3
o'clock next Tuesday debate on the Mica
ragua canal bill shall be limited to fifteen
minutes on each amendment, the Senate to
be under the five-minute rule. No time has
been fixed for final vote.

Decision Affecting State Officers and
Expenses of Militia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. p. Mitchell,
acting controller of the treasury, has rem
dered an opinion on the question of the au-
thority Of the several staff departments of
the army to pay the expenses incurred by
the Governors of States or officers of their
respective stats acting under their authority
in raising the volunteer army of the United
States for services in the war with Spain.
The main point in question is whether Gov
errors of States who have incurred expenses
in raising troops were acting in their official
capacity as Governors or as agents of the
War Department. 1t is stated that in some
instances expenses have been incurred where
the State had no available funds with which
to settle the same, and If 1t were held that
the Governors were acting as agents OF the
War Department the bills could be paid by
the disbursing officers Of the government.
The controller, however, holds to the con-
trary, and says:
There is nothing in general Order No. 26
which appears to contemplate a delegation
of authority to state officers to incur eX-
penseS for which the United States is to
be charged, and, even if there were, it is
a matter of grave doubt whether such dele
cation could be conferred in such general
terms. Public policy, if nothing else, would
prohibit such an exercise of power
fraught with possibilities of mischief and
uncomfortable expense, and it seems to me
there is no authority for the recognition of
state officers as the agents of the War De-
partment for the purpose stated.

ALL FIRsT-CLASs BEEF.
Col. Gallagher Tells About the Meat
Distributed to Soldiers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O-Lieut Col Gal
lagher. of the commissary department,
who was in charge of the commissary depot
at Skaters headquarters before Santiago,
reappeared before the war investigation
commission to-day. During his incumbency.
he said. he issued about $4,000 pounds of
refrigerator beef 1t was carefully in
spected and was all fine meat He said
about 1900 pounds of beef was condemned by
a board of survey after it had reached the
camps, which were from two to six miles
from the transports. The meat condemned
deteriorated between the transports and the
camps. He was now issuing meat for about
10000 men at Augusta. 1t was good meat,
and he should decidedly recommend the con-
tinuation of this class OF beef. Regarding
the canned roast or boiled beef, he said
il was good, though not particularly attrac-
tive and our men soon tired of it.
Capt. James c. Read, commissary of sub
sistence in the volunteers who served on
the transports Massachusetts and Mobile.
described in detail his experience on the
Massachusetts, which delivered a large
cargo of refrigerator beef to Porto Rico and
Santiago. He said the beef was on board
and in course of delivery from July 70 to
Sept p. 1t was of fine quality and was
perfectly good so long as witness had any
thing to do with it. He had never heard
any intimation of chemical treatment of
the meat until he read the charges in the
newspapers. Asked if he had any official
complaint about the beef while in Porto
Rico, he said all that was said to him on
that line was by General Miles at the lat
ter's headquarters on Aug. 4 or 5. 81 spoke
to General Miles" said the witness, about
the presence of beef on the ship. He said:
I understand that beef is not good. Do you
know that it is?' l replied that l thought
it was good. I understand, replied General
Miles, that it is not good, and / can secure
right here all the native beef ! want That
was all"
Lieut.. Col. o. M. Smith. purchasing COM
missary of the army at Chicago has for
warded to General Eagan letter from the
Hammond Company on the subject of GEN
eral Miles's beef complaints. The letter
says the firm exports great quantities of
timed roast beef and that no chemicals or
foreign ingredients or scraps are used. A
similar statement as to chemicals is ms lie
with reference to refrigerated beef. and the
public and the government are invited to
witness every detail of preparation of beef
for the market
