that the matter of quarantine rested

constituents, will introduce his blu pro

araguan canal promptly after the or

His bill. which passed the house last
session, carries an appropriation Of
about s150,000,000. Mr.. Hepburn is no,
man who allows the grass to grow
under his feet. and he will push his bill
as rapidly as possible. He said yester-
day:

from a reliable source, that there is
nothing in our agreements with Great
Britain which will prevent the Unite,
States from building an iS,nnlian canal
exactly as we choose, and as provided
by the house bill of last session. If the
commission adheres to the reports here
tofore made no legislative change will
be made necessary. There doubtless will
be some notifications, however, in that
bill before it is introduced"
