Of mining claims, and all other points
in dispute. The army appropriation
bill carrying supplies for the military
established at over S114,00O,00O, was
then taken up. The feature of the
discussion of the measure was the de-
bate on trusts, precipitated by an
amendment offered by Senator Berry

termaster's department should not
purchase supplies from any RECOGNIZED
trust. The amendment was defeated.
The bill had not been completed when
the senate adjourned.
Washington, May For the first
time during so years of agitation of
the project for the construction of an
inter-oceanic canal, the house of rep
resentatives entered upon the consid-
Grafton of measure to actually au-
thorize the building of the canal The
debate was memorable because of the
unexpectedly powerful opposition it
developed. Mr.. Burton (Ohlo) chair
man of the rivers and harbors com
mittee, Mr.. Hit (IllD, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, and Cannon
CID, chairman of the appropriation
committee, threw the weight of their
influence against it not because they
were opposed to building the canal,
but because they considered the time
for authorizing it's construction not
yet ripe.
