Concludes That Its Use I'm Time of War

London, Jan. 19.-The Spectator in
an article discussing the Nicaragua
canal question. says: TT is matter
of business and not of manners. We
hold that it is to the interest of the
British empire that the canal should
be made, provided, of course, ii is a
canal which shall be used on equal
terms by all ships. We are the great
est maritime nation. Any and every
Increase in the waterways of the
world must be to our profit. When
ever and wherever you facilitate ocean
carriage you confer a benefit upon
British carrying trade" Referring to
the Suez canal and its advantages,
. The Spectator proceeds as follows:
when once the Nicaragua canal is
made we, the carriers of the world,
shall obtain a certain part of the
benefits. 1t seems pretty certain that
the canal will never be made on a
commercial basis. The cost would be
too great. The failure of the Panama
canal has been too patent to allow the

FEW CHANGES IN THE MEASURE

Wait as to Nicaragua-Situ-

Washington, Jan. 19.-Just before
g D. III. yesterday the senate finally
disposed of the army reorganization
bill. The measure having originated
in the senate the f1nal question, ywas
not upon its passage but upon agree
ing to the senate amendments. They
were agreed to by a vote of 43 to %.
While party lines were drawn on the
measure four Democrats voted for it
Lindsay of kentucky, McLaurip of
South Corolina, Morgan of Alabama,
and Sullivan of Mississippi. Hoar,
who was detained at his home by i'll

tically the entire attention of the SEN
ate since the Sd OF January, when it
was made the unfinished business.
Canteen Clause Had to Go.
Numerous amendments were made
to it, but in general tile committee was
sustained, and the measure, with the
exception of the elimination of the
canteen clsAuse, is not widely differ
ent from that reported to the senate.
A determined effort was made yester-
day to amend the bill so as to pro-

notable speech was delivered during
the day by Hale of Maine, who, while
opposing the increase in the strength
of the army, stated cogently his rea-
sons for supporting the bill. Every
effort to prevent the increase in the
strength of the army was defeated by
decisive majority.
Caucus on the Canal Bill.
Washington. Jan. ia caucus of
Republican senators was held after its
conclusion yesterday, and Allison. as
its chairman, gave out the following
official statement concerning the OBJ
IT'S. deliberations: Senator Morgan,
Of Alabama, chairman of the commit
tee on inter-oceanic canals, made re-
quest of the Republicans of the SEN
ate that a day be fixed by order of the
senate for the consideration of the
Nicaragua canal bill. This request
was made to The committee on the on
der of business, and this committee
considered the request and made the
recommends ton TO the Republican
conference this morning that at this
time it is not eNpsdient nor wise TO fix
day for the consideration of the BILL
in view of the pendency of considera-
ton by Great Britain of the amend
lnents proposed by the senate TO the
-Pauncefote treaty. This view
was approved by the Republican eau
Gus without division. There was a
universal sentiment expressed in ia
vor of the construction of the canal
by the United States at the earliest
practical time"

London, Jan 19.-The following
| official announcement regarding the
queens health has been made known:
The queen, during thespast year has
had IA great strain upon her powers,
| which has rather told upon her nery-
Gus system.
1t has therefore been thought adj
yisabIe by her majesty's physicians
that her majesty should be Kept per-
fectly quiet in the house and should

Possibility of a Regency.
I London, Jan. 19.-Although it is full
~ understood that there Is no cause
for alarm beyond what would natur-
ally be felt at the indisposition of any
one of the Queens age, the official al
noHncement issued last evening has
caused a shock to the country. the eff
feet of which it would be difficult to
eNaggerate. Her majesty's absolute
freedom from illness during the long
est reign in English history has led
her people to regard her almost as
more Unan morJaI; ana the mere novel
ty of having to face the possibility OF
q regency alone sufficeS to create un-
necessary apprehension.
Parliamen5 Is Bequired to Act.
IL Is necessary TO go Ddck TO a udte
prior to 1920 for similar situation.
Since that time there has never been
an Interruption of the smooth working
of the constitutional machine. No
one, not even the Prince of Wales, can
act for the Queen without the authori-
" of parliament, and as no steps have
been taken TO summon parliament it
may be taken for granted that her
majesty's physicians have only adopted
measures of precautiOn, and that she
is still able to sign any absolutely i'm
peratiye documents. though relieved of
the worries of routine affairs.
May Yet Go to France.
The illness of Dowager Empress
Frederick of Germany, the sudden
death of her majesty's old friend,
Lady Churchill, together with the death
of the Duke Of Saxe-Coburg, last sum-
mer and of Prince Christian Victor
subsequently, and the incidents of the
war III South Africa have been great
trials to the Queen; but even within a
week she has received Lord Roberts
and sent a message of coincidence to
the widow of DIR. Creighton, late lord
bishop of London 1t is understood
that the arrangement for the Queens
visit to the south of France are pro-
ceeding on the lines originally laid
down, and it is quite likely that rest
and abstention from work will enable
her TO undertake the journey earlier
than was originally intended.

OF INTEREST To BUSINESS MEN.
Important ease I'm which Bankruptcy
Point Il Involved.

Washington. Jan. 10. - Argument

preme court yesterday in the case of
Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co. appellants,
vs. the Chicago Title and Trust COM
pany, Henry Ach beginning the pre-
sentation of the matter for the appel
iants. The case involves the construc-
tion. of the bankrupfcy law and much
interest is manifested in the proceeding
among business men generally.
The case comes to the supreme court
from the ciIcnit court of appeals for
the, seventh circuit. holding that the
claim of Carson & Co. creditors of
Frank Bros, bankrupts. be disallowed
on the ground that moneys paid by an
insolyent to a creditor in the usual and
ordinary course of business within
four months preceding the date of the
filing of a petition in bankruptcy by
the insolvent Constitutes a preference
under sections 81 G. and 80 y and GO
b, of the bankruptcy act, irrespective
of the fact that tehe creditors receiving
such payment is not aware of the fact
that his debtors Is insolyent, or that a
preference is thefeby intended.
1t is claimed shat the question OF
law involved in the case presents it
self in the administration of every
bankrupt estate. in which assets have
come into the trustees hands and on
account of the conflict of decisions con-
strung the mentioned sections of the
bankrupt act, great confusion has
arisen and is likely to arise in the adj
