56th CONGRESS.
Exciting Debate in House on
Nicaraguan Canal.
UexpectedIy Strong Opposition Devel-
ops to the Present Bill.
Senate Passes Alaskan Civil Code Bill, With
out Alien Claims Clause.

washington. May 1.-FOr the first
time during the 80 years of agitation
Of the project for the construction OF
an interoceanic canal the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES,, today, entered upon
the consideration of measure TO actu-
,Ilv authorize the building of canal.
MANY times preparations bearing upon
the subject have been laid before the
House, but this was the first time
when positive action could be predi-
Gated. The bill will be voted upon, to-
morrow. before adjournment.
The debate. today, was memorable
because of the unexpectedly powerful
opposition it developed. Burton of
ohio. chairman Of the rivers and har-
hors committee, Hit of Illinois. chair
man of the appropriations committee,
threw the weight of their influence
against it, not because they were op-
posed to the building Of the canal but
because they considered that the time
for authorizing its construction was
not ripe.
Eurton and Hit contended that the
bill would violate the Clayton-l'ulWer
treaty. which guarantees the neutrality
of the canal. and Cannon quoted Ad-
miral Walker. chairman of the 18TH
mian canal commission. as saying that
the commission was not yet prepared
TO say which was the best route. can
non contended that the authorization
of the construction Of the canal over
the Nicaraguan hOute at this time
would delay it's building for years and
cost the government $4,000, 900.
The debate also developed other lines
of opposition. Some of the Democrats
insist that the amendments striking
the words defend" and 'fOrtifica-
tions'' from the bill are designed To
make it harmonize with the Hay
Pauncefote treaty and that it is there
fore Objectionable. and Shackelford OF
Missouri, desired the bill amended SO
that if the treaty is ratified the bill
will not go into effect.
The analomouS situation is therefore
presented of practically every member
of the floor pressing his friendship for
the canal and yet of powerful oppOsI-
ton arrayed against it on various
grounds The bill was ably and Wig
orously championed by Chairman Hep
burn of the interstate commerce COM
mittee: Lowering of Massachusetts;
Ramsdell Of Louisiana; and Corliss OF
Michigan Fletcher of Minnesota, was
the only member Of the commerce COM
mittee who opposed the passage OF any
bill at any session.

tary of state Sherman was one of the
