Washington, December 13.-The
senate committee on isthmian canals
today authorized favorable report 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
Carter presented report to the sen.
ate accompanying the return bill with
a vcluminous report upon the general
subject of canal across the isthmus.
Action on the bill providing for con-
struction of the canal was deferred

Washington, Dec. 13.-The appoint
ment of ex-Sheriff Pat" Garrett of Las
Cruces, N. NJ, as collector of customs
at Ell Paso, made vacant by the re-
moval of Moses Dillon, came in the
nature of decided surprise. The an
nouncement of the appointment was
made yesterday afternoon, followed
closely on the visit which Garrett, in
company with General Lew Wallace,
made to the president the day before.
While the chances of Robert H.
Bruce of Mineola being given the place
have not been thought to be as good
during the last two weeks or so as
they were month ago, when Bruce
was here In person, those who have
been watching the matter have never
r. 6 ne aaaz- the president would go
outside the State of Texas for material
wherewith to fill the vacancy. The
fact that he has done SO will, 1t is be-
lieved, have the effect of creating con-
siderable bad feeling among Texas
republicans. Bruce is democrat, but
among the numerous others who ap-
piled for the place there were several
republicans who have been of service
to their party and it is these men and
their friends who will feel most keenly
the slight that has been put on them.
CARROTS fitness for the position is
not questioned and the fact that he is
nonresident of Texas forms the basis
for the only objection that is being
made to him. t}.-s
1t is believed here that the president,
after treating Bruce as he did when
the latter was in Washington, will see
that the former captain of Rough Rid
ers is provided for. 1t has been sug
gested that Bruce may be appointed
United States marshal for the South
ern Indian Territory district, place
for which there are two other appli-
cants, Colbert and Hammer, the lat
ter the present incumbent. Colbert,
who is. an Indian. was private in
Bruce's troop while the Rough Riders
were in service and during most of
that time served as Rooesevlts orderly.
There are good reasons why Colbert
should not be given this particular
place, in the opinion Of the president,
and it is not thought that Hammer
has ever had any really good prospects,
These facts serve to strengthen the be-
lief that the appointment may go to,
Bruce. who had very strong endorse
ments for the El Paso place and who
has every reason to expect the presi-
dent to take care Of him.

they found the body Of a man who
proved to be James T. Hart, "a mill

D. New York, December 13.--George J.
Gould, with Mrs. Gould, has just re-
turned from tour of the railways en-
braced in the Gould system-a tour di-
vided into two sections and lasting
about two months, broken only by
flying visit to New York and covering
practically the entire country from
Utah to Texas. y.
After a critical and analytical survey
not alone of his own roads but of finan
cial and commercial conditions
throughout the country, Mr. Gould re-
turns in an even more optimistic frame
of mind than when he finished his big
tour last spring. Mr. Gould was asked
If he were willing to state at this time
whether he intended to carry out the
rumored plan of a trans-continental
railroad, with the Missouri Pacific.
Denver and Rio Grande, Rio Grande
Western and Central Pacific as the
main links in the chain.
II have heard nothing about that
said Mr.. Gould. I'VE are working very
harmonicusly with our allied railroad
connections, Central Pacific being one
of them"
Then Mr., Gould ga0nthis ,ipkling Of
his plans Of extending% s. I'D

Arkansas City, south to Lake IL =
dence, La. In fact, 1t is under COZ,
sideration now The Texas and Pacific
line is to be rebuilt and extended so
that 1t will form a through line along
the west bank of the Mississippi river
between New Orleans and st, Louis.
The improvements will include also the
rebuilding of the New Orleans and
Northwestern railroad. The new line
runs through a beautiful cotton coun-
try and at present there is no line to
serve 1t. The country is entirely trib-
uary to the Iron Mountain system,
hence the construction OF the branches.
We expect to get one of the New
York elevated roads started with cleo
tricity in a few days. We have been
delayed, as others are about year
behind but we expect to have some
trains running by electricity in the
near future"
