Washington, June I9.--The advocates OF the
Colon-Pa mama route for an isthmian canal won
an easy victory this afternoon in the Senate
their triumph verifying the predictions which
have been made repeatedly in The Tribune's
dispatches. The Spooner substitute for the Hep
burn bill, behind which they concentrated their
forces was adopted by a vote of - to "a, and
after having effectualy displaced the declara-
ton of the House in favor of the Nicaragua
route was passed and sent to conference by
g. votes to 6.
The measure 10 which the Senate finally gave
its approval is a mosaic Of three amendments,
prepared by Mr.. Spooner, of Wisconsin; Nj.
Bacon, Of Georgia, and Mr.. Fairbanks, Of In
diana. In brief, it authorizes the President to
secure a satisfactory title to the property OF
the New Panama Canal Company, and 10 &C
euire from Colombia such territorial rights and
jurisdiction as may be necessary TO operate a
canal from Colon TO Panama, and. succeeding
in these TWO purposes TO cut waterway from
the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. If the
President finds 1t impossible make salts
factory arrangements with the Panama COM
pany or with Colombia, he is TO undertake the
construction of a canal by the Greytown-Brito
through Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The
appointment of Isthmian Canal Commission
Of seven members is authorized, four Of them
at least TO be skilled in engineering, one to be
officer of the army and one an officer OF the
navy. To meet the cost OF canal construction
the Secretary of the Treasury is to float
popular loan of S130,O00000 in bonds OF $50 or
multipes Of that sum. Mr.. Bacons amend
ment providing for the creation Of another
1sthman Canal Commission was adopted by
52 votes TO 22. Mr. Fairbankss, authorizing
the loan, won by narrow margin, 50 to 80.
