( Looking Into.
Honor Of Country Depends on
Its Being Able to Clear
y Away Charges.

WARRINGTON, May 1.-THE senate
committee on interoceanic canals,
through it's chairman, Senator Morgan,
presented it's written report upon the
Nicaragua canal bill. The report in.
cludes the statements of Admiral
Walker and other members of the com.
mittee appointed to investigate the vari-
Gus routes for an interoceanic canal and
also the conclusions of the committee
with reference to both the Nicaragua
and the Panama routes.
The committee takes strong position
against the proposition to build the
canal via the Panama route, paying for
the work already done by the French.
The declaration is made that the Pan.
anna company is practically without as.
sets except those included in the PAN
anna railroad. The committee takes 20.
sition against holding the pending bill
unless the Walker commission can re-.
port.
On the general question Of the con.
struction of q canal the committee
takes the position that whatever canal
is constructed, its ownership must be
American, and that delay may be fatal
to the success Of the enterprise.

ANTITRUST BILL.

Majority of the House judiciary Commit
tee Submits Its Report.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Representa-
tive Overstreet of Indiana submitted
the majority report on the antitrust
bill agreed to by the committee on ju.
dietary. It follows the same general
lines as the report favoring a constitu-
tional amendment, except to show that
tho present legislation goes to the limit
of the powers of congress, whereas a
constitutional amendment would give
congress new and much needed powers
to cope with the various forms of trusts.
Until this enlarged constitutional power
is given the report states that congress
can merely strengthen the Sherman act
not by attempting to repress, control or
define trusts, but by declaring them il.
legal for the purpose of interstate and
foreign commerce.

DISCUSS CUBAN AFFAIRS,

Mr.. Bacon Addresses tho Senate ut Length
ON His Resolution.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Discussion Of
the administration of affairs in Cuba by
agents Of the United States occupied
the attention of the senate during the
greater part of the session.
- Mr.. Bacon (Ga.) addressed the senate
at length on his resolution directing the
committee on relations with Cuba to
make an investigation of the conduct Of
financial affairs Of the island. He said
it was due the people of this country to
know how the things in the island were
being conducted, and since the dis.
closure Of the last few days Of shortage
of funds in the postal service the obi
cation to make an investigation was
doubly heavy. He said the honor Of the
country depended upon its being able to
clear away the charges. He insisted
that the government of the United
States had no authority in Cuba and de-
manded to know how soon it intended
to redeem its pledge and leave the gov.
ernment Of the island to it's inhabitants.

from late mail advices from Manila that
the prison officials of Bilibid prison at
Manila are under investigation on a
charge of exchanging and releasing
prisoners and receiving brides. Bilibid
prison, the largest in the Orient, con.
tains thousands of prisoners. The
Americans were obliged to continue
Aloalde Benito and other officers in
charge because they themselves knew
nothing Of the prison methods or the

natives with money were allowed to
employ substitutes to serve their terms
and that various other forms of corrup.
ton existed.

Much Disctssslon Among Members Re-

M WASHINGTON, May 17.-While there
il much discussion ammg senators Of
the status of Senator Clark Of Montana
there has not been sufficient crystalliza-
ton Of sentiment to justify conclusion
as to what the final result may be. A
meeting of the, committee on privileges
and elections has been called for next
Friday to consider what course shall be
pursued, in view of Senator Clark's res:
ignation, with reference to the commit.
tee resolution declaring the seat vacant.
The members of the committee say that
they are not now prepared to predict
what course the committee will recon-
mend.
y The present purpose is to move the
reference Of the senator's credentials to
the elections committee when they are
presented to the senate. The indica-
tions at present are that this reference
will be opposed by some Of Mr.. Clark's
friends, who take the position that if
this disposition be made Of the creden.
tials, it would be for the purpose of 80
delaying report as to prevent action
upon the case during the present sit
ting Of congress, and thus practically
prevent Mr.. Clark's resuming his seat
at all, as new legislature will be con-
vened in Montana next January, q
month after the opening Of the next
session of congress-.

to the appointment Of Senator Clark to

1T is an insult to the senate to send

HAVANA, May 17.-Warrants were
issued during the day for the arrest Of
e. P. Thompson, the Havana postmas-
ter; w. H. Reeves, deputy auditor Of
the island, and Edward Moya and
Judge Mascara, Cuban clerks in the
stamp department., and by o'clock all
were lodged in the Vivao, the Tombs Of
Havana. This was dcne under the ad-
vice Of the postoffice inspectors, who
arrived during the day. It is consid.
cred now that Reeves is equally guilty
with Nicely.
Investigation as to the record of a
clerk in the military department. who
handled several hundred dollars worth
of stamps proves that the transaction,
so far as he was concerned, was legiti-
mate. The stamps were purchased at
the request of his brother, who is q
stamp collector in the United States,
for $500. They were of the old issue
and were obtained from Nicely. ..,
:, The arrest Of Thompson caused great
surprise in the city. 1t is looked upon
as the precursor Of many other arrests.
General Wood felt, as did the special
inspectors, that it would be better to
have the suspected persons arrested and
to givs them an opportunity to obtain
bail than to keep them indefinitely I'M.
