SENATE COMMITTEES REPORT
FAVORS NICARAGUA CANAL

ed the relationship of the Panama Ca
nal Company to the construction by
the United States of Il waterway across
the isthmus, and lie makes reference
to n letter written by President Hutin
of the Panama company TO Secretary
of State Hay, in which Mr.. Hutin
makes an attack on the chairman OF
the canal commission. Mr.. Morgan
then says in his report:
"The desperate financial straits of
the new Panama Canal Company
compelled them TO make overtures to
the United States to unload their enter
prise on the United States, and their
agents became accordingly aggressive
in this effort.
"The manifest purpose of this COM
pany to interfere with legislation, by
asking the President to inform Con-
gress of a state of facts, as alleged, of
which Congress is presumably without
knowledge. is an insult to the intelli-
gence of Congress. 1t is an insolent
invitation to the President to control
the action of Congress, so that they
shall not act upon bills reported by the
committees in both houses"

Macarthur Takes Command.

Denver, Dec. 13.-Major General
Macarthur, one of the six major gen.
erals of the United States army, will
arrive in Denver this week to take
command of the Department of the
Colorado, vice Brigadier General
Henry G. Merriam. 1t has been gen.
orally understood for n number of
months that General Macarthur
would succeed General Merriam.
though 1t was not expected he would
assume command until after the first
of the new year. For the past month
General Macarthur has been stationed
at Washington as n member of the
board of army posts and member of
the provost board.
General Macarthur has been in the
army practically all of his life. He
was in command in the Philippines
during the early part of the present
campaign, and it was while under his
command there that General Funston
achieved his great success.

"SWELL" GERMAN FARMER.
Some AEricuiturists In the FntherIand
Indulging In Luxuries.

Some AEricuIturists In the FnthcrIand
Induiging In Lusuries.
During the last twenty-five years
there has been an active demand for
farm land in Germany. 1t has become
fashionable for rich men, merchants,
bankers, manufacturers. retired army
officials and others to buy country
seats. It gives them Il better standing
and influence in the community. A
man who has made few hundred
thousand marks in trade or manufac-
turing can improve his social position
and promote the prospects of his fam
lily by buying an estate and building
a castle. His daughters and SONS can
make better marriages, for the social
status of a gentleman farmer is much
higher than that of man who makes
or sells merchandise. If the ambition
of this class of people had led them
into extravagance-they have built fine
houses and filed them with expensive
furniture; have bought improved ma
chinery and fancy stock-horses. cat
tie and sheep; they have filled their
stables with hunters, kept kennels OF
dogs and maintained game preserves
at great cost. and all this has been
charged up as agricultural invest
ments. So, when they complain that
their farms are yielding them only l
per cent, and they must. though. have
the prices of breadstuffs and provis-
ions advanced by shutting out Ameri-
can competition, they ask the consum-
ers to pay for their amusements and
luxuries. Furthermore, the demand
for land has increased its value. Good
farming property has doubled in price.
and in many favorable locations has
increased four and five fold since the
empire.-William L. Curtis, cor. Chi
cago Record.

,OCKHILL'S WORK in CHINA
AND CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL

of all the negotiating powers, eNerte0
Il salutary influence In the cause of
moderation, humanity and justice, Sc
cured adequate reparation for wrongs
done our citizens, guarantees for their
future protection. and labored sue
cessfully in the interests of the whole
world in the cause of equal and Impair
tial trade with all parts of the Chi
nese empire"
At the meeting yesterday of the spe-
cial committee of Pacific coast senators
and members who are devising Chi
nese exclusion measure, MIR. CoomDs
presented number of suggestions, in
the form of amendments to the bill
prepared by the immigration bureau.
One of the amendments will reach Chi
nese highbindcrs. 1t provides:
Every notorious Chinese criminal,
or Chinese engaged in melting disorder
or breaking the law. or tcrrorizing the
community. or whose general manner
Is against the peace and order of any
state or of the United States, or who
belongs to any society having such OBJ
iects in view, shall be deemed to be
unlawfully in the United States and
subject to deportation. Such facts
shall be established by general reputa-
tion of such Chinese upon the testi-
mony OF not less than two creditable
witnesses other than Chinese"
Another amendment provides for
keeping Chinese now in the Philippines
or Hawaii from coming to this country.
These, and numerous other amend
ments OF importance in the legal pro-
ceedings for the deportation of Chinese
are under consideration by the commit
tee.

LABOR FEDERATION Is
SEEKING NEW FIELDS

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 13.-Business
closely relating to the organization of
labor in those fields where there is no
union and strengthening of the hands
of those who have embraced unionism,
took up most of the time of Wednes-
days sessions of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor.
The great question of trade autono-
my is now in the hands of the special
committee appointed to consider the
subject. The members are: President
Gompers, First Vice President James
Duncan, Second Vice President John
Mitchell, John Mulholland. president
of the International Association of
Metal Mechanics, and @. n. Hughes of
the San Antonio, TeXas, Trades Coun-
Gil.
Among the resolutions adopted one
recommended that the federation make
an effort during the coming year to
organize the school teachers of this
country; another instructed the execu-
tive council 10 use every effort to Sc
cure the passage of a national law pro-
tecting and legalizihG union labels.
In the report of the executive coun-
ell, the Shaffer-Gompers-M Mitchell con-
troversy growing out of the recent
steel strike. is not mentioned. The re
Kinley and recommends that the fed
Grafton make a direct appropriation to
the Mckinley memorial fund. There
were 916 charters granted to unions by
the federation during the year and the
council advocates the passage by Con-
gress of anti-injunction and Chinese
exclusion laws. The council regrets
the effort made in certain parts of the
West to divide and injure the labor
movement and recommends that men,
bers of the council be sent to the con-
vention of the Western Federation of
Miners with the object of bringing
about harmony. Revision of the
Don't Patronize" list is recommended,
as it is too long and many firms are
out of existence.
A proposition to organize female core
makers employed in foundries was de-
feated. The resolution was introduced
by the Coremakers' International
Union.

Washington, Dec. 12.-1he Senate
committee on isthmian canals yester-
day authorized favorable report up
on Senator Morgan's bill providing for
the acquisition from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica of the right of way via the
Nicaragua route. Senator Morgan later
presented this report to the Senate, ac-
companying the return of the bill with
a report on the subject of canal across
the isthmus. Action on the bill pro-
viding for the construction of the canal
was deferred.
Contending for the Importance of the
enterprise, Senator Morgan urges that
no nation nor any combination Of pri-
vate interests can have any right to
prevent its consummation. "There re-
Mains" he says, but one barrier to
the union of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, and no one nation has the
right to declare that 1t never shall be

Senator Morgan's report deals with
many questions connected with the
construction of the canal, including Il

GreaY Britain upon the subject and the
different canal routes. He also discuss

speakers of the evening, said in the
course of his remarks, that a pessimist

happened to attend the dinner sat tho
next morning under Professor Bran
der Matthews, who delivered char
acteristic lecture, with statistics, on
everything in general. During the lee
ture Mr.. Matthews remarked. with the
air of a man conscious of tossing off
an original jewel of epigrammatic
wisdom, You know, gentlemen. we
may define a pessimist as a man who
has the choice between two evils and
takes both" The student, who was
certain that Mr.. Matthews had not
been present the evening before. looked
the professor up at the conclusion of
the lecture, saying: Your definition
of a pessimist struck me forcibly. but
I heard Mr.. Mabie give the same one
last night" "Is that so?" replied Mr..
Matthews sauvely. He forestalled me
by half a day then. We both heard it
from Mark Twain two evenings ago."

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The executive
committee of the national council of
the Grand Army of the Republic met
yesterday in Memorial hall and decid-
ed to hold the next national encamp-
ment of Civil War veterans at wash
ington. The date of the encampmeht
will be decided at an adjourned ses-
sion of the committee to-day. Seven
ballots were necessary to determine
whether the encampment should go to
Washington, Denver or Atlantic City.
After the delegations representing
the different cities had presented their
claims. the executive committee took
an informal ballot. which gave Den
yer five, Washington three and Attain
tic City two. Atlantic City withdrew
from the contest Mt this point ana
caused tie between the national capt.
tai and Denver. The vote remained
the same for the next three ballots and
there was no choice.
On the seventh ballot Denver was
dropped and every member of the COM
mlttee voted for Washington. Denver
was a formidable candidate for the
honor last year and would have been
selected for the meeting place II salts
factory railroad rates could have been
secured.
