Mr.. Spooner said the HayPauncefote
treaty was being considered by Great
Britain, and we could not pass the
canal bill without giving great offense
to Great Britain. If we should pass the
canal bill, Great Britain would no
doubt reject the treaty. President PRO
Tenn. Frye ruled that the Nicaragua
canal bill, and not the oleomargarine
bill was the regular order, OR unfinished
business The bill was displaced by the
Notifications appropriation bill, which
was taken up without the roll-call.
On motion of Mr.. Teller the amend
ment providing for the closing of the
Charleston exposition on Sunday was
adopted. Then without a. dissenting
voice the bill was passed. Messrs. De-
pew, Proctor and Vest We're named as
conferees on the exposition bill. A bill
passed authorizing the construction of
a bridge across Savoca bay, Calhoun
county, Tex. The Notifications appro-
pria tion bill was then taken up.
In the senate to-day Mr.. Morgan, in
a speech demanding that the Nicaragua
canal bill should be made the regular
order said every parliamentary STRAIT
egy was being used to defeat this bill |
He Thought it time for plain talk, whila
some of our people in authority were |
being kicked and cuffed about by King4
VII; also, that 1t was time for
some attention to be given to this pure
ly American enterprise.
