sent to an acceptance of the Senate bill.
When the conferees adjourned it was under
stood that at their next meeting they would
endeavor to agree upon some report to both
houses of Congress, whether they could
unite in approving the Senate bill or not.
In view of the prospects of an early ad-
tournment apprehension was expressed by
House members that a prolonged contest in
the conference might lead to the postpone
ment Of all canal legislation. But when this
prospect was suggested to some of the
House conferees who are thoroughly aware
Of the situation it was stated that there was
practically no doubt that canal legislation
of some sort would be effected, owing to the
favorable temper of the House toward the
Senate amendment.
It is expected that the House conferees
will point out number of incongruities
which are said to exist In the Senate
amendment. For instance, the Senate pro-
vision refers to a canal from the Caribbean
sea to the Pacific ocean, whereas the west
erly outlet is said to be on the Gulf of
Panama, an indentation over 100 miles back
from the Pacific ocean line, running from
headland to headland. In another pro-
vision of the amendment reference is made
to q canal from shore to shore. This Is
said to leave out of account the ract that
the canal should embrace not only the cut
from shore to shore, but also the three
marine miles from either end, which by In
ternational usage comes under the same
jurisdiction as the shore section. The
House conferees will point out these pro-
visions as showing a looseness of construc-
ton In the Senate amendment inconsistent
with the magnitude Of the undertaking. II
the Senate amendment ultimately prevails
an effort probably will be made to correct
these features.

HOW UNCLE SAM WAS ROBBED.
James King Wants to Give President
Observation-Disclosures for Asylum

James King, thrty-two years old, a Cana
dian, who has spent about twenty years Of
his life at Tonawanda, n. Y, arrived here
last night after experiencing some difficulty
in beating the railroad and was an early
caller at the White House this morning
When he reached Parkman, Md, he was
arrested for riding on the train without
paying his fare, and ten days were spent
In prison at Towson. He was released yes
terday. He says he told the jail officials
and detectives at Towson about his mission
to this city, but the latter did not notify
the authorities here about him.
When King reached the White House he
met Policeman Jamison, to whom he eX-
planned the object of his visit. Then he
placed under arrest and escorted to
police headquarters, where Sanitary Officer
Frank took charge of him To the sani-
tary officer the man related the object of
his visit to Washington.
II came to see the President to convince
him of the four quarters of the globe he
said. II wanted the President to give me
a pair of dividers in order that might To-
cate Uncle Sans possessions"
The United States. he stated, is an island,
and all nations of the earth, especially
England, have robbed Uncle Sam:
ION the 18th of April" said King, God
endowed me with the gift to show the Pres
ident that Uncle Sans possessions have
heen stolen, where the stolen possessions
are located and to right the wrongs gen
orally.
God" he said, did not countenance the
Boer war, nor did Queen Victoria favor 1t,
and for this reason she was called to her
heavenly home"
When the tall, thin man had related his
story he was sent to the sixth precinct sta
ton and held for examination by the police
surgeons this afternoon. He will probably
be sent to the hospital for the insane later
and his relatives notified.

Bryan's attack upon ex-President Cleve'
