MAY PASS THIS MONTH.
Nicaragua Canal Bill Nearing Final
Action

NEW YORK, Feb. GA special to
the Herald from Washington, says:
Senator Morgan. chairman of the
senate committee on the Nicaragua
canal says he expects the canal bill =
pass the senate this month. Represen-
tative Hepburn. chairman Of the house
committee. says he expects It to pass
the house during the present month.
A poll Of both houses shows that
when it comes to a vote the bill will
pass both houses by overwhelming ma
jorities.
Both bills, While differing in Ian
guage somewhat, authorize the presl-
dent to secure from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica the control Of such terri
tory as may be necessary to construct
and defend the proposed canal and
make an inde6enite appropriation to
be used in securing such control Citi-
zens Of Nicaragua and Costa Rica are
to have the same advantages in the
use Of the canal as citizens Of the Unit
ed States. An appropriation Of S1O,-
100000 Is made for the commencement
Of the work and the secretary of war
is authorized to enter into contracts for
its completion to the amount of s14O.-
100000, the money to be provided in
the regular annual appropriation bills.
There is no reason to expect any
serious efforts to delay the bill in eth
er house Of congress. It's opponents
are 50 few as to make such efforts
hopeless and the present prospects are
that vote will be reached in both.
houses after short debates. When Mr..
Reed was speaker he was able to pre-
vent consideration Of the bill in the
house, but Speaker Henderson is heart
ily in favor Of It and will aid in ex-
action.
Chairman Hepburn's present plan is
to try to secure consideration Of the
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-02-07

bill by unanimous consent, Speaker
Henderson has intimated to him that
this can probably be secured, II there
is objection to consideration by any
Of the opponents ot the measure, Mr..
Hepburn win then apply to the com.
mittee on rules for special order and
he has no doubt OF its being granted,
as all the members OF that committee
are in favor OF the bill.
In the senate the financial bill will
have the right OF way until February
Is, but after that has been acted upon
Senator Morgan intends TO can up the
canal bin and push It to a speedy
vote, There viii be some opposition
from senators who think Il would be
wise to wait for the report Of the
Walker commission, but few members
win oppose the bill in It's present
form.
Senator Morgan is confident the ca
nal bill win pass congress at the pres
ent session. He has assurances that a
large majority OF representatives favor
,he passage OF the bill without further
delay
In the senate some OF the friends OF
the bill are impatient to have It TAX
en- up and passed some time dur
ing the morning hour. The only sub
stantial opposition somes from Sena-
tor Caffery Of Louisiana, who will
probably insist upon debating the sub
ject at length
Friends OF the bill" Senator Nor
gan said, are satisfied the American
people fully understand the provis-
ions ot the measure and recognize the
Importance Of prompt action Under
the circumstances. its advocates will
not waste any time in discussion. So
strong is the sentiment in the senate
favoring the bill that II might be taken
up tomorrow and passed with not more
than five OF six votes against it. There
is general understanding. however,
that it shall not antasonize the hnan-
cial bill, now pending, and, therefore,
shall not call up the canal bill
until the financial bill is disposed OF.
The latter measure it to be voted on
one week from next Thursday
Il do not believe Senator Cafrery
proposes to filibuster against the bill
when it is taken up He desires to
present his objections to the proposed
bill, and understand he will content
himself by explaining his position to
the senate, after which a vote will be
taken. have no fear as to the result.
as the senate has twice passed a sim.
liar bill. and the subject is perfectly
well understood by all Of the intelli-
gent people in the United States"
Senator Aldrich. chairman Of the
lnance committee, says there is no
doubt as to the passage Of the canal
pill. II
More than two-thlrds Of the senate
favor the bill" he said, "and it is not
likely that the small opposition will
nterpose any unnecessary delay to {
the passage Of the bill. The I
'ery small minority in opposition may
'equire a few days to present their
views and friends Of the bill VIII give .
hem every reasonable opportunity TO I
De heard. Unless some Unforeseen oh
'tacles arise the bill should be passed t
'oon after the financial measure Is a
)ut Of the way" 4

democratic side of the chamber. has q
