offer to purchase government per cent
bonds at los has thus far evoked no re-
Spouse at this center. Bond brokers con-
tinue to offer 1854. and one house bought
$50 600 at that price to-day. Deducting the

charged by the broker the amount to the
seller was So. 80 more than the government

these bonds because we can find purchasers
at a better price," said the broker who

MARIETTA, o., Sept. E.-The Wabash
Railroad Company has contracted for the
purchase Of the Marietta, Columbus &
Cleveland Railroad. running from this city
to Palos, at a figure approximating $780, 900.
The road will be part of the great Gould
system, and requires but a short branch to
be built to connect with their recent pur-
chases in West Virginia and their seaboard
line. This will give the Wabash system
valuable connections and large coal areas.

Lewis Nixon Is Chosen. as the New
Chief Of Tammany Hall; "
New York. Jan. 13-Richard Croker
has announced his. retirement :. from
the formal leadership of Tammany
Hall. The announc cement was made
at the meeting of the executives com.
1nittee at which: the plan jof orgauiza-
ton for the year 1902 was agreed
upon. Lewis Nixon was chosen as
Mr.. Croker's successor as the, chair
man Of the finance. committee. This
position by long usage carries with 1t
the leadership of the .organization..
In announcing the name of Mr..
Nixon for the Craftsmanship of the
Anance = committee George M. Van
Hoesen: n:apresident. Of the general com
mfttee, said that the step was taken
at the desire Of Mr.: Croker. Mr.. Gro
ker. however, did not express himself
until all the business before the meet
ing had been transacted. when he
arose and addressed the chair. There
was distinct rustic Of expectancy in
the crowded room as he did SO. He
spoke, in his habitually quiet manner,
but such a stiffness prevailed that
every word he uttered was clearly
heard by all. His tone was a .cc~~er.
sational one, but there was something
like a tremor in his voice and he
walked back and forth across the ro~~1
in way not entirely familiar~to those
who have often heard him speak.
In beginning he said that the ap.
pointment of Mr.. Nixon to the chair.
manship of the finance committee had
his full approval and he hoped that
Mr.. Nixon would receive the same
consideration and good will which had
been extended to himself.

Washington, Jan. 10.-;-The Hepburn
Nicaraguan canal bill passed the house
by practically unanimous vote. Only
swo members out of $40 voted against
it. Messrs. Fletcher (Rep.. Mimi and
Lassiter (Dem.. Va.) were the two
voting III the negative. The opposition
to committing the government TO- the
Nfcaraguan route attempted to secure
amendments to lodge with the presi-
dent the discretionary power to pur,
chase and complete the Panama canal,
If it could be purchased for: $40 90. 900.
The test came on the first vote, when
the advocates of an alternative route
polled 102 against ITO votes. At each
succeeding vote their strength dwin-
died until Mr.. Cannon of Illinois. un-
der whose leadership the fight was
noes on motion to recommit. All
other amendments failed and the bill
passed exactly as it came from the
committee. None of the votes except
that on the final passage of the bill
was a record vote. "a
The debate which preceded the. TAX
ing Of the final vote was made mem
orable by a clash between: Mr.. Hep.
burn, the author of the bill. and Mr.
Cannon: chairman of the appropria-
tions committee. On several previous
occasions they have measured swords
over canal legislation Two years ago
a similar bill was passed by a vote of
224 to. SO. ~. :
The bill as passed authorizes the
president to secure from the states
OF Costa Rica and Nicaragua in behalf
Of the United States control of such
4 portion of the territory belonging to
said states as may be: desirable and
necessary in which to" excavate, CON
struct and prospect canal suitable
to the wants of modern navigation and
commerce and appropriates such : a
sum as may be necessary to secure
the control of said territory.
President Given Full Authority. -.
: Section 2 authorizes the president,
after securing control of the needed
territory. to direct the secretary of
war to construct such canal from the,
Caribbean sea, at a point near Grey
town, in Nicaragua, by way of Lake
Nicaragua, to a point ON the Pacific
ocean near Brfto, and also to. con-
struct proper harbors at the termini
of said canal and to make necessary
provisions for the defense of the canal
and harbors.
Sections and 4 authorize the presi-
dent to make such surveys as may be-
necessary and to employ such .perso.,s
in constructing the canal as, may to
him seem wise, and directs that in the
construction of the canal the river
San Juan and Lake, Nicaragua shall
be used as far as they are available. !
Sectien authorizes the president
to guarantee to the states of Costa
Rica and Nicaragua the use of the
canal and harbors, upon terms tn be
agreed upon for all vessels owned by
said states and by citizens thereof
The last section makes present ap-
preparation of $1V,00O.00 to carry on
this work and authorizes the secretary
of war to: enter into proper contracts
for material and work as may be
deemed necessary therefor, such work
and material to be paid for as appro.
priations may be made from time to
time. The section fixes the aggregate
cost at $1S0, 100000, to he drawn from
