WARM DEBATE IN COMMITTEE.

Different Opinions as to the Best Methods
of Getting Control Of Utilities.
CHICAGO. Feb. l5.-The committee on
resolutions of the antitrust conference,
after g stormy session. finally agreed
upon a report, which will be submitted
to the conference for adoption. The
discussion was caused by a difference of
opinion among the members as to the
details Of how the government should
obtain control of railroad, telegraph and
telephone lines. A faction led by Tom
L. Johnson, Louis F. Post and other
single tax advocates insisted that the
value Of franchises in assuming control
should be ignored. They thought the
government should take the property
without paying compensation t the
owners. John P. Altgeld, George F.
Williams, Governor Lee and ex.Attor.
ney General Monet of Ohio were for
government ownership Of these utilities.
but thought the cause would be in.
iured by
Advocating Practical Cnnfscation
at this time. Finally John p. Altgeld
suggested a compromise which brought
the warning factions together and pre-
vented a fight OH the floor Of the con-
vention later. The provisions denying
the value Of franchise right were
stricken u and an amendment substi.
tuted declaring that the owners should
receive just compensation for all prop
erty taken, exclusive Of watered stock
or other fictitious securities. This ap-
Neared to satisfy the radicals and was
adopted.
The platform declares for government
ownership of all public utilities and nat
ural monopolies, government money,
the referendum and direct legislation
and the withdrawal of protective tariffs
from all articles controlled by a trust.

OF his ever getting any better. Looking
over M Of your books l noticed Dr..

FRANCE NOT PLEASED.

Objects to the Contamination of the MIC
aragua Canal Treaty.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Herald's
Washington special says:
France may prove an important
stumbling block in the way Of the i'm
mediate construction Of the Nicaraguan
canal. All the nations Of Europe, with
the exception Of the Paris government
have signified to Secretary Hay their
entire satisfaction with the provisions Of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and have in
dicated their purpose to assent toit when
an invitation to do SO is extended to them.
But France, considering the enormous
amount expended by her citizens in the
construction of the Panama canal, is less
inclined to tender congratulations at the
removal of the bar to the construction of
the Nicaragua canal by the United
States. From a high authoritative
our ! received an intimation suffi-
GENTLY strong to show that France has
made it plain to this government that
she is not at all satisfied with the way
in which events are developing and
she would prefer that if the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty be ratified, this government
complete the Panama canal instead of
commencing the construction Of the
Nicaragua canal.
1t is thoroughly appreciated by au-
thorities, who have been carefully look
ing up this feature of the matter, that
France has it in her power to delay the
construction Of the canal through Mic
aragua unless the United States, sup
ported by the other powers of Europe,
should begin building the canal without
reference tothe treaty existing between
the French republic and Nicaragua,
which was signed On April II, 1850.
