NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Will Be Taken Up in Senate After
Chinese Exclpusion.

Nothing has yet occurred to interfere
with the plan of the republican steering
committee Of the Senate to take up the
as soon the Chinese exclusion bill has
been disposed of. The Chinese bill will
come up as soon as the oleomargarine bill
is out Of the way, and it is not believed it
will involve much debate. The canal bill
once before the Senate 1t will be the object
of its advocates to adopt it with as few
amendments as possible. The bill as re-
ported to the Senate is exactly as it was
passed by the House, and it would be satis-
factory to its friends on the committee If 1t
should go through the Senate without
single amendment. Those who favor a
canal at Panama will throw their strength
to the Spooner amendment, which author
ICES the President to purchase the property
of the new Panama Canal Company for
$40,O000O0 if he is satisfied that satisfac-
tory title to it can be secured, and If that
is not his belief he can proceed to complete
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for such further rights as may be nee
eSsary and begin the construction of a
canal there. The debate on the bill will go
into the merits of the two routes from the
StandpointS both of construction MAIN
tenance and use. The advocates of the
Panama route will depend very largely
upon the report of the isthmian canal COM
mission favoring the Panama route while
from the side of the advocates of the Mic
aragua will give a series of reasons why
that route should be selected because of a
lack of questionable engineering problems
and utility, especially from the standpoint
of the navigator of sailing vessels.

BUILDING WAR SHIPS.
Labor Representatives Favor Utiliz-
ing Government Yards.

The plan Of building war ships in gov
ernment yards was considefh by the House
committee on naval affairs today, a large
delegation Of labor representatives being
present in support Of it. The delegation in
cluded James O'Connell, president of the
machinists' association, and several ship
building. experts from Norfolk, Brooklyn
and other points having government yards.
Mr.. O'Connell made the main presentation,
urging that the government had millions
invested in plants, which should be used
for construction as Well as repair of war
ships.
When Representative Dayton suggested
that Admiral Bowles, chief of the naval
bureau Of construction, had said that he
would not recommend the building of ships
In government yards unless the navy yard
wages were equalized with that of private
yards, Mr.. OConneii said the idea of lower
wages could not have been made seriously,
at time when the tendencies were toward
higher wages. He argued that in the in
terest Of the public government construc-
tion would be beneficial and that incident
ally the labor interests would be much
benefited

HOSTING ENGINEERS STRIKE.
Amalgamated Copper Company's
Mines Tied Up Thereby.

BUTTE. Mont, April 2-Twenty- eight
hosting engineers have struck and as a re-
suit nine mines of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company are closed down and more
than 5000 men rendered idle pending a set
tlement of the trouble. The engineers have
been receiving 81 a day and on March p
notified the company that unless their de-
mand for an increase of wages of 81 a day
was complied with within ten days they
would go out On March 81 and again yes
terday the hoisting engineers were in
formed by the company that the request
for the increase of the wage Gcale could
not be granted. Upon receiving the last
refusal the men decided not to wait for the
expiration of the ten days, but to declare
strike at once.
Without waiting for authority from the
engineers union, they quit work and late
last night organized a union indept M 1T
of the regular organization.
The Amalgamated officials have IGsugd a
statement I'm which the hosting enSinrers
are charged with breaking faith with the
company. 1t is maintained that agree
ment was made whereby the present wage
scale was to remain unchanged. The
strikers. on the other hand, claim they OPP
posed the action at the time and are in
no sense bound by the decision oI the
union.
There is not the least semblance of dis
order anywhere. The Amalgamated mines
here produce approximately $4,000 v Jrth
of ore a day.

THE TELEPHONE CASES.
Supplemental Brief Filed by Counsel
for Appellees.

In the case Of the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company against James F.
Manning & Co. Messrs Birney, Hempbill
and Woodard, counsel for appellees, today
filed in the United States Supreme Court a
supplemental brief as to the finality of the
decree appealed from. The court requested
counsel on both sides to present their opin-
ions on this phase of the case Counsel
concede that the decree of the Court of Ap-
peals was final, and that the cause is prop
erly before the United States Supreme
Court for decision on it's merits.
1.-The prayers Of the bill of complaint"
counsel state, "are for process and an in
junction only, no accounting being asked
or necessary. The temporary injunction
allowed in the cause, if made perpetual,
would give complainants all the relief
prayed or desired. This was precisely what
the Court Of Appeals ordered when it re-
manded the cause for the entry of a decree
granting an injunction in conformity with
Upon the signing of the decree ordered
by the Court of Appeals the cause would be
at an end. no further proceedings being
proper or necessary"
1t Is understood that Mr.. A. S. Worthing-
ton OF counsel for the telephone company
will take the same position in regard to
this status Of the case as is taken by coun-
sci for Manning & Co. If the United States
Supreme Court takes the same view on the
subject 1t will proceed to consider the tele-
phone case on its merits and a decision is
expected during the present term.

MAIL SERVICE WITH CUBA.
Suggestion of the Secretary of War tt
the Postmaster General.

The Postmaster General today received
communication from the Secretary of War
officially notifying him that on May 20 next
Cuba will become foreign country, and
that upon the withdrawal of the United
States therefrom on that date there will be
no statute or postal convention under
which mail can be transmitted for domestic
postage or carried on the existing money
order system between the United States
and that island. Secretary Root states that
1t Is desirable in the interests Of the busi-
ness which already exists and for the pro-
motion of further intercourse between the
inhabitants of the two countries that there
should be no interruption to the present
basis for the conduct of business. He also
states that 1t Is fair to presume that the
diplomatic representatives of the two coun-
tries will at an early day address them
selves to the framing Of a postal convep-
t1on similar in general character, perhaps,
to that which the United States now has
with Mexico. but in the meantime he sug-
gests that Congress be asked to authorize
a continuance of the present basis, upon
the informal agreement OF the postal au-
thorities of the two countries
The Postmaster General will Immediately
take steps to have the matter put in proper
shape.

SITUATION IN CHINA
DIR. MARTIN SAYS COUNTRY IS
PEACEFUL NOW.
Ambition of Russia and France, How.
ever, May Cause Trouble
at Any Time.

VICTORIA, B. C, April DIR w. A p.
Martin, who a month ago resigned the
principalship of the Imperial Chinese Col
lege at Pekin. and has since been offered
similar position with the Chinese Universi-
ty at WI Chang, arrived yesterday by the
steamer Empress OF Japan.
Mr. Martin was in Pekin during the siege
and says there have been many changes
since then.
China has completed treaty with the
foreign powers and all is quiet now, he said,
but how long it will remain a placid coun-
try no one can say. The recent treaty of
Great Britain and Japan guarantees peace
for time only, for there is feeling tend
ing to the disintegration of the country
among some of the powers, among whom
Great Britain, Japan and the United States
are for the maintenance of the integrity
of China, but Russia. France and others
are for slicing up the kingdom.
Russia did not get the special concessions
in Manchuria favored by the treaty made
by Ii Hung Chang. he said. Even to the
hour before his death when the Chinese
statesman was all but unconscious, NJ Les
sar was working with him to have him
place his signature to the treaty by which
Russia would have secured all she wanted.
DR.. Martin does not think the Russian
troops will be withdrawn from Manchuria.
Russia viii make the excuse that the
troops are necessary for the protection of
her railways" he continued, "and in my
opinion Russia will ultimately have sole
possession of Manchuria and Mongolia The
latter province has not yet been brought
into question, but Russia is going to build a
railway line across Mongolia from the near
est point of the boundary to Pekin. The
Russians are scheming in many ways for
the retention of the districts. There were
rumors before l left Pekin that rebel
forces were in motion in Kansu and were
supposed to be acting in concert with troops
of Prince Tuan. the eX-Boxer leader /
don't think it is likely that they will march
on Pekfn, but they will hold an area IN

Northwestern Fire Insurance Company, in
dorsed the statements of Mr.. Cook He
declared that under the Commissioners
ruling the new tax would put out CT busl-
ness about 90 per cent of the brokers, as
every agent had now to pay a license tax
of 500.
Mr.. Thos. F. Mankin of Georgetown closed
the hearing with a statement to the COM
mittee that the citizens of Georgetown
were getting up a petition in advocacy of
the bill allowing the old method of meas
uring lots as set forth in House bill 1856.
The committee adjourned at 1 o'clock
without taking action on any of the
amendments.
