CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington. June Discussion of
the project of constructing the 18TH
mian canal was begun by the senate.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, chair
man of the committee on interoceanic
canals, opened the debate. A CNnsid-
cradle portion Of the speech was de-
voted to an examination of the sug-
gcstcd danger to the Nicaragua canal
route of seismic disturbances. This
danger. he concluded, after a careful
review of many authorities, existed
only in the imagination of those who
desired to defeat any canal project
His study of the situation convinced
him that really there was greater dan
ger from volcanic and earthquake dis
turbances to the Panama route than to
the Nicaragua route; but was satisfied
that little danger to either was to be
anticipated. He reviewed at length
the political conditions in Colombia,
finding in them a grave menace to
the United States in the construction
Of the canal by the Panama route. The
bill authorizing the promoting and
retirement of the present senior major
general of the army, John II. Brooke,
was passed. A bin providing that
the postmaster general may extend
free delivery to cities of 5000 in
habitants or of $4,000 gross income.
instead of 10000 inhabitants, as at
present was also passed

continued all day in the house Mr..
Jenkins of Wisconsin and Mr.. Park&r
