In the Senate,

Washington. June 20.-An isthmian
canal, while not yet absolutely assured.
Is nearer 20 construction than II ever
has been. The senate yesterday, by a
majority of 8 votes, adopted the Spoon-
er substitute for the Hepburn Near
aqua canal ill, he vote on the s,1bs+i-
tute being AZ 20 "a. After two amend
ments to the measure had been adopt-
ed, one providing for a commission TO
supervise the construction of the canal
and the other providing for the issu-
ance Of $3.50, 600, 900 of 2 per cent gold
bonds to raise money with which 10
construct n waterway, II was passed
by a vote of 81 20 6.
II has been evident for several ia va
that the Spooner substitute, which in
brief. provides that the president shall
select the Panama route IL he can OBJ
tain a clear title to the Panama Canal
company's property, but. otherwise, he
shall adopt the Nicaragua route, would
command the votes OF a majority OF
The senate. The Panama route was
Considered More Desirable
by the senate than the Nicaragua
route. The only question left open T.
the title to the property and that the
r~resident will determine. IL the honse
should adopt the senate's amendment
10 it's bill.
The spooner amendment, as amend
ed and adopted by the senate yester-
day, provides that the president.
through the law officers OF the govern
ment, shall determine whether 4 clear
title can oe obtained OF the Panama
