A CANAL BATTLE COMING
Farnact Effort RainU MaJo 20 N,..,,
Earnest Effort Being Made to Garry
through the Nicaragua Bill at
the Present Session.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Senate
Committee on Inter-oceanic canals to-
day agreed unanimously to report a bill
for the construction of the Nicaraguan
Canal. The bill is the same as that re-
ported favorably in the House by the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce with few verbal amend
ments.
NEW YORK, Jan. ia special 20
the Herald from Washington, says:
Construction of the Nicaragua canal
is TO be insisted upon in both Houses
OF Congress, without regard to the COM
mission recently appointed by the Pres
ident to consider the feasibility of the
various routes.
The House Committee has already
agreed to report the Hepburn canal
blIl, and the Senate committee on in
ter-oceanic canals OF which Mr.. Nor
gan is chairman agreed today, with
practical unanimity, upon the same
course.
1t is expected that the decision to
report the bill will be reached shortly.
This measure will not be pressed at
present, IL being the desire of Senator
Morgan to await the action OF the
House, although II these should be de-
lay in that body independent consider
alton will be asked in the Senate.
Mr.. Hepburn's bill contemplates full
American control of the canal, with
authority to fortify the work. II Is this
provision which has attracted the at
tentiOn OF diplomats in Washington,
especially representatives OF the En-
glish and German governments. Ii is
in violation OF the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain I'm which both countries
agree upon joint control OF any inter
oceanic canal.
1t is a mOoted question whether or
not this treaty has been abrogated,
Great Britain holding that IL is still in
force and this view having been ac-
quiesced in by all administrations up TO
me present. Ii is said to be the view
of this administration.
Great Britain signifed her willing
ness to formally abrogate the treaty
sometime ago II the United States
would guarantee the neutrality of the
canal. but the negotiations were alb
SUPPLY ended when the high joint COM
mission dissolved. owing to the unwil-
lingness of the British ministry TO
show further friendliness to the United
States at the risk of displeasing
Canada.
The action of the Senate and House
Committee indicates a purpose to con-
struct a canal under American control.
This would probably be followed by a
system Of discriminating tolls, a situa-
ton which is not acceptable TO Great
Britain.
Germany made some inquiries re-
garding the purpose OF the United
States when the Hepburn bill was dis
cussed during the last session of Con-
gress. but upon assurance that the
United States would neutralize the
canal, these inquiries were not pressed.
II is certain however. that any serious
effort to press the bill in its present
form will lead TO diplomatic CORES
pOndence.
The Hepburn bill appropriates $l4O.-

ut is a significant fact" said Pre-.
Edent Wood yesterday morning, tina;
there have been no cases of plague in
any of the detention camps for two
days. With nearly ten thousand peo-
pie huddled up, we have expected
cases of plague to break out, but this
makes me more hopeful of the general
situation"
Unhappily, the two days record was
broken last evening by the case of Ng
Gee, the servant of Mrs. S. Roth. who
resides at the corner of Kinau and
Piikoi streets. On Monday afternoon
DR.. Raymond was called to see the
young man. He then considered it a
case of fever. The people in the house
were rather uneasy, and the man was
badly frightened. However, there was
enough suspicion about the patients
condition to report the matter to the
Board of Health, and a health guard,
who was instructed not to disclose his
badge, was sent to the premises to
prevent any of the other servants
leaving.
Yesterday morning the guard was
removed, as it was thought then that
there was no suspicion to be attached
TO the case. Late yesterday afternoon
Dr. Raymond called President Wood TO
personally examine the man. Know
ing that his presence would be the
signal for the other servants to de-
camp, President Wood was accompa-
MED by the ambulance and guards.
Inc examination showed conclusively
that the man was a positive case Of
plague, a bubo having developed in
the left femOral gland; his tempera-
ture then registering 102. He was re-
moved to the pesthouse and the other
servants were sent to one of the de-
tention camps.
Inc sleeping-quarters of the young
man are a considerable distance from
the house and can easily be destroyed
without interfering with the Roth res
ldenee. Mrs. Roth stated to President
WOOD that the man stayed upon the
premises continually, but on account
or the distance of the cottage from the
house 1t would have been an easy
matter for the young man TO have
gone away during the night. A friend
who has been staying with the patient
is also In special detention.
The suspect at the Kalihi camp is a
japanese who was considered suffi-
ciently Ill to be placed in the suspect
ward, there to await developments. He
has not as yet been declared a plague
patient.
The little Chinese boy taken from
King, near Richards street, some time
ago, was reported last evening as
slightly worse. Mrs. Franz was stated
TO be merely holding her own, and the
rest Of the patients were progressing
iavorably.
Yesterday afternoon was a busy one
Tor the health guard officers. All the
health guards who have been patrol
ing infected houses and premises dur
ng the last ten days were paid of and
he majority of them discharged from
'urther duty. Being paid at the rate

Mrs Fannie Potter, aged 90 years, died
last evening at the residence of her SON
in-law, DR.. II. r. Turner, at 1914 Aloha
Mrs Potter's husband. Edward Potter,
is resident of this city, and has reached
the advanced age of so years At the time
of Mrs. Potter's death they are believed to
have been the oldest married couple living
in the city.
Mrs. Potter. as well as her husband,
was born in Northern Canada. Her maid
en- name was Sutherland and her father
was a captain on the British side in the
war of 1872 between England and Amer
lea Capt. Sutherland met his death in the
famous battle of Lundy's Lane.
1t WAS in 1890, just seventy years ago, that
Miss Sutherland was married to Edward
Potter. The greater part Of their lives
was spent in Canada, but in 1858 they re-
moved to Minnesota. where Mr.. Potter
was actively engaged in farming until
1873. He was then nearly 70 years OF age,
and had acquired a sufficient competence
upon which to retire Since that time he
has been living a retired life.
Two years ago Mr.. and Mrs Potter came
to this city TO make their home with their
only daughter, Mrs Turner. Mrs. Potter
for the past year has been growing very
feeble, and 1t was known that she had but
a short time 10 live. The end came peace
fully, and her daughter and granddaugh-
ter. the latter being Mrs. q. A, Pidduck,
were at her bedside when she died. The

Tacoma, who, with his nephew, j. A.
Hoshor is accused OF the embeZzlement Of
SIC, 800 from George Terrence, a wealthy
Klondiker, was released from the county
TAIL on $4,000 bail yesterday afternoon,
furnished by some of the most substantial
citizens of Tacoma. Just as Mr.. Thomp
son, accompanied by his wife, was about
to take the Flyer for Tacoma, he was re-
arrested on q charge of grand larceny. He
furnished additional bail in the sum of
s., Co., and was allowed to depart.
The second complaint against Thomp-
son also includes Hoshor's name. They
are jointly accused of the larceny of a
letter of credit for 600 from Terrence,
as well as two railroad passes, a promis-
sorry note signed by Brogan 81 Miller of
the value of $500 and other papers belong
ing to Terrence. AS stated in the POST
Intelligencer of Sunday Terrence claims
that when Hoshor left his employ, after
being confronted with a charge of en-
bezzlement, he took with him all of his
employers private papers, which are
enumerated in the grand larceny COM
plant
Thompsons bondsmen are ex-Mayor A.
V. Fawcett, of Tacoma; Peter Irving a
capitalist of the same city; w. II. Dick
son and Fred wild and wife. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson, who sign principals,
justified in the sum Of $4,000. II is claim
ed in the civil papers which have been
filed in the superior court of Pierce coun-
ty by Terrence against Hoshor and
Thompson. that Thompson is insolvent.
This the latter denies. He claims that he
owns valuable property in Tacoma, some
of which. he says, is located on Pacific
avenue. the most prominent business
thoroughfare in the town.
No attempt was made yesterday to Sc
cure Hoshors release from Jail Judge
Cam, when he bound him over Saturday,
placed his bail at $4,000, just double the
amount of bail fixed for Thompson. At
torney W. A. Gilmore. of counsel for the
accused, will leave for Tacoma this morn
ing to secure bondsmen for Hoshor in
both cases.

BUREAU OF IMPORTATION.
Work of Advertising seattle ana
Puget sound as Carried on by
Secretary Moore.

Secretary Moore, of the Information bu-
reau, expresses himself as being satisfied
that the bureau has now become MIXTURE
and says that proper support for it is
practically assured. The institution, he
says, is kept up by few large Seattle
firms, but works not only for the good of
the city but of Puget sound as well.
The bureau is contemplating getting out
small publication, in which will be
printed condensed articles from the news
papers advertising in general way the
Industries. commerce and natural advan-
tages of the Puget sound region. II would
be Secretary Moore's aim TO make the
paper such that people would send copies
back to their friends in the East when the
latter wanted information regarding this
country.
As carried on at present the principal
business of the bureau is to furnish East
ern newspapers with facts concerning Sc
attic and Puget sound. On an average
nifty letters are sent out weekly, over one
half of which are regularly printed. Sec
