vessels might want to return. or some
others might wish 10 come through from
the West He further wanted to know
whether the job of building the canal was
to be let to one contractor or hundred.
and whether the men employed were to
be under civil service or not. The bill.
he said. contained no provision upon these
matters. His amendment authorizing
the employment of Government en-
gireers was lost.
The Inst Effort.
When the bill had been favorably re-
ported BY the Committee OF the Whole,
Representative Cannon. who had been
fighting against it and its present cnnsid-
Grafton all day, made the last efort Tor
DELAY. He offered a motion 10 recommlt
with instruction to the committee to re-
port within thirty days bill authorizing
the President to acquire territory either In
the United States Of Colombia or Mica
ragua and Costa Rica for the construction
of the canal, and TO negotiate If found dd-
yisable with the Panama Company for the
purchase Of its property for S4O,OOo,oco.
He asked for the yeas and nays, saying
that il was en- important matter and mem
bers could well afford to delay their din
ners II was then $50. When not suf-
iicient number arose in response TO the
demand Mr.. Cannon gave up in despair,
!. declaring that 1t was evident that the
House did not want to vote upon the mat
ter.
:. The bill with only the amendment as TO
rverIdage, was then passed.
Lively scrimmnges.
The proceedings during the discussion
OF the measure were enlivened yesterday
Z by several verbal encounters between Mr.
Hepburn and Mr.. Cannon, which in
creased the interest OF the members and
those in the galleries.
Cannon during his remarks said that If
anyone proposed an amendment, or asked
questions about the bill, he was called
a .-confounded obstructionist." He ap-
peaIed TO members TO guard this legisla-
ton, as they could in its inception, for
otherwise in the decades to come their
action would be the subject Of severe and
lust criticism. AS an example, he re-
ferred TO the criticism that had been
made upon the Pacific Railroad bills.
There was a public sentiment in favor of
the canal, but the public demanded that
there should be no undue or harmful
haste in preparing for its construction.
Under the woeful power granted the
bill Cannon said, the President could not
only pay Nicaragua and Costa Rica for
the right of way, but turn around and pay
the old Maritime Canal Company, the
Nicaraguan and American spectators
such prices for their holdings as he might
deem proper, and there was no restriction
uDon him No one could tell whether that
payment would be $40 900 900 or $50 900 600.
Mr.. Shackleford asked II he knew OF
any property held by the old company.

doubt that floating around in the moon

NEW YORK MAY HAVE BOXING

is now canvassing the members of the

NAsrURT1UM's SAFE ARRIVAL.
Derby Candidate shows No bad Ef-
fects From Sea yoynge.

William C. Whitneys Nasturtium, the
great candidate for this years Derby, and
Peg Wellington. his colt, were among the
most notable travellers which landed on
the other side yesterday. The trip, which
was uneventful, was made ON the steam
er Minnehaha. The horses stood the
long trip well and showed no bad effects
whatever. They have been sent to New
market and the big Derby candidate will
at once take up the work Of preparation
for the event in which he is expected to
be a winner.
Commenting on the racing prospects of
the American horses, the London Sun"
says:
IF Mr. Whitney's horses are run salts
factorily in 1902, which they most dis
tinctly were not in 1901, though neither
Mr.. Whitney nor his trainer was ever
held accountable for their vagaries in
form, there is no reason why Nasturtium

Hearings to he Held.

The House Committee on Ways and
Means Will very soon take up the ques-
tion of legislation for Cuba and will give
public hearings. 1t is very well under
stood, however, that this viii be but a
perfunctory proceeding. as the question is
really being discussed toward settlement
outside of the committee room by Senators
and Representatives who have the con-
ffdence of the Administration, and who
have made a thorough and exhaustive
study of the Cuban question.
NJ. Platt. the Chairman of the Cuban
committee. is one OF those VINO believe
that no legislation can be enacted until
Cuba shall first set UP its independent
government. Although he has devoted
much time and thought to the Cuban aues-
ticn for the past three years, he would
take no step toward framing legislation
until the House shall have framed and
disposed Of its bill.
II seems to be the consensus of opia-
ion that the best thing to DO under all
the circumstances is TO enact a law pro-
viding that whenever Cuba shall give to
the Unit I'd States concession of % per
cent in tariff rates on imports into Cuba

the Dutch standard. the growth and prod

tions in Cuba upon which such molasses

ut is further provided that all other

at the several ports of entry of the Unit
ed States upon the payment of so per cent
of the duties which are required 10 be
levied, collected, and paid upon like ar
ticles of merchandise imported from the
most favored country"
The only provision of this bill not alb
solutely agreed upon by Messrs. 0xnard
and Pavey is that fixing what the amount
of rebate to be paid to the Cuban pro-
dueers shall be. Mr.. Oxnard does not
wish to concede so much as 80 per cent
