FATE OF NICARAGUA
CANAL BILL IN DOUBT
Influences at Work to Prevent a Vote
This Session Powerful and
Insidious.

There Is a wide diversity of opinion
among the Senator'S both Republicans
and Democrats, as to the fate of the
N4Ialagua Canal bill. now the order OF
business in the Senate.
Some are confident that vote will
be recorded at an early date. while 9TH
ers are OF the opinion that the debate
will be long drawn out. giving the enc
mics of a canal project, both open and
secret, an opportunity to arrange their
plans for postponing the question until
next session Il is the opinion of some
of the Senate leaders. however. that
within the present month a vote will be
reached.
Senator Hanna. the especial champion
of the Panama route and member OF
the Committee on Interoceanic Canals.
says that not more than a week will be
consumed in debate and that at the
end of that time a vote will be taken
Senator Hanna will speak today in be-
half OF the minority report in opposition
to the selection of the Nicaraguan
route.
careful canvass of the Senate has
been made by those interested in de-
feating the Hepburn Morgan bill, pro-
viding for the construction of cana
by the Nicaraguan route. which shows
a clear majority OF the Senate in favor
OF the substitute introduced by Senator
Spooner OF Wisconsin. II n vote is
reached. therefore, the Spooner substi-
tute will probably be adopted. but the
influences at work to prevent a vote at
this session are both powerful and in
sidious.
The Spooner bill authorizes the Presi- |
dent to purchase the rights and prop |
erty Of the Panama Canal Company for /
$40. 600 GG0, provided satisfactory title |
Fan be obtained, and to order the Sec
rotary OF War to complete the constitute
ton of the waterway at a cost not to
exceed $l3J.000. 0C0. If satisfactory
title cannot be obtained. then the
President is to cause the construction

Report of District Auditor Regarding
Florence Crittenton Mission.

The Senate District Committee recent
ly forwarded to the District Commission
ers copy of Senate bill $50. To amend
an act entitled an act to incorporate the
National Florence Crittenton Mission .
MIR !. T. Petty. the Auditor. has re-
ported on the bill to the Commissioners
that there are two changes contemplate
in the proposed amendment of the act
of April 9. 1898. Incorporating the. Ma
tional Florence Crittenton Mission. The
first removes the time limit, and the sec
ond authorizes the acquisition, holding
in trust and disposition of real and per-
sonal estate for the purposes of the as
sociation.
He says as both amendments are be-
lieved to be necessary to the best in
terests OF the corporation and the
proper conduct of its affairs and as the
institution Is purely charitable in its
aims, seeking only the moral and social
betterment of an unfortunate class in
society, and thus commencing itself to
the approval of all good citizens, he
recommends that the bill be re-
turned by the Commissioners with favor

MINERAL LAND FOR
SCHOOL PURPOSES
Favorable Report on Bill Granting co.
600 Acres to the State of
Alabama.

The Committee on Public Lands yes
terday morning agreed to favorable re-
port upon the bill granting 10000 acres
of mineral land to the State of Alabama
for school purposes. The State expects
to realize upward of sl,00OOOO from the
sale of these lands.
The committee decided adversely upon
the bill to relinquish titles to lands in
Arkansas to Mrs. Genevieve Leighton.
Mrs. Leighton claims title to the land
by reason Of grant from the crown of
Spain to Capt. Don Joseph Valliere. in
1888, and by descent to her through a
succession OF transfers.

BILL TO PROVIDE FOR
BURIAL OF BX-SOLDIERS
The Measure Prompted by
Unique Experience.
Two Private Pension Bills Secured by
Mr.. Williams, Followed by the
Deaths of Beneiciaries.

Representative Williams of Illinois
has had the novel experience of securing
the passage by the House this session
of four private pension bills and having
two of the intended beneficiaries die be-
fore the bills became laws.
In commenting upon this yesterday,
Mr.. Williams said that the two soldiers
the Senate were each in destitute cir
cumstances and had to be buried by
subscription to save their remains from
going to the Potter's Field
This fact called his attention TO the
injustice of the Government taking care
of its veterans during their lifetime, but
abandoning them upon death, and he
introduced a bill providing for decent
Christian burial for all ex-soldiers at
the expense of the Government when
insufficient funds were left by the de-
cedent to afford his remains a proper
interment. The Committee on Pensions
favored the bill, he said. but had as
yet failed to report it.
'Of course, ! Immediately notified
Senator Gallinger. chairman of the Sem
ate Committee on Pensions" said MIR.
Williams, 'of the death of the two SOL
diers referred to. so the Senate would
not waste time with the bills. but am
now afraid the other two will die be-
fore their bills are passed by that
body
The deaths of these two soldiers are
unfortunate in more ways than one. for
members of Congress are usually al
lowed only a limited number OF pension
bills each session, so that while Mr..
Williams really secured but two. he is
charged with four.
