will be action on the Nicaraguan canal
bill by at least one house of congress be-
fore the end of this session. Chairman
Hepburn of the house committee on in

up the bill on Tuesday May l, and he is
confident there will be no objection. II
there should be objection he intends to
apply to the committee on rules for a
special order setting May l for taking
up the bill, and he feels certain the order
will be granted.
Republican managers in the senate are
not anxious to put the canal measure
through that body this session. Their
policy will be to pass the ship subsidy
bill in the senate. and the canal bill in
the house this session. They do not de-
sire to have either measure become a law
hfore the presidntial election. aud they
are not willing to go into the campaign
without having put each of them
