BY A LARGE MAJORITY.
Canal Bill, 1t is Expected, Will CT
Through the House Easily.

The Nicaragua canal bill is expected to
pass the House by large majority, though
there is some opposition to it which is
under cover, and, therefore, difficult to
measure. There will be a determined OPP
position to the question being taken up by
the Senate at this session, and, in view of
the opposition of the admins tration grow
ing out of the contest over the treaty, it
is generally believed that after getting
through the House the bill will be COM
PEELED to lie over until the next session.
The bill. was left out of their calculations
by the Senate committee on order of busi-
ness in considering a program for the rest
of this session.

Secretary Long today made public the
correspondence which has taken place be-

Chadwick respecting the published inter
view in which the captain is reported as
severely rejecting upon Rear Admiral
Schley. The Secretary's letter was written
today and was forwarded only after the
Secretary had conference on the subject
with the President at noon. The depart

mand, and it is noteworthy that its letter
has been made public, a fact which in itself
adds to the weight of the punishment ad-
ministered. The correspondence is as fol-

The Large Fleet Fights sham Battle
in Attack and
Defense.

One of the great events of the pres
ent year in Japan has passed into his
tory. The impressive review of the
japanese fleet by the emperor, while
not so imposing as the great English
display on the queens jubilee, was in
some regards of greater Significance,
besides being in itself conspicuous
success as picturesque spectacle.
The review was preceded by extensive
maneuvers of the fleet in the island
sea, that scene being substituted for
the Corean straits in order to avoid
and semblance of a design to wound
Russian sensibilities.
As newspaper correspondents were
strictly excluded, scarcely any par
ticulars were obtained concerning the
various movements of the fleet except
that the generaldesign was to represent
an attack upon and defense of that
vast body of water which, in the event
of war. would furnish to the empires
fleet not only an impregnable haven
of refuge. but also a point of attack,
from which, on three different sides,
it could issue to assail an enemy.
The maneuvers over, so of the war;
ships. including the finest of the bat
tleships and cruisers. assembled in
Kobe bay, where, with the hills and
shores black with spectators, the en-
peror reviewed the fleet, which the
japanese now regard with idolatrous
pride.
The financial situation Is growing
more and more precarious and the en-
pire is at present standing on very
thin ice. The loaning japanese banks
are offering rates of interest for de-
posits, while, significantly enough, the
foreign banks are at the same time
cutting their rates down 33 per cent.
