Bills by the Judiciary Committee.
lBy the Associated Press.


Washington, June 17.-The House spent
the day considering bills reported from
the Judiciary Committee By far the
most important measure was that to
amend the existing bankruptcy law. The
minority made a vigorous effort to re-
peal the present law in toto but were
Overwhelmingly defeated-65 to 1877. The
bill passed amends the law in fifteen
particulars to meet defects which eX-
perience has proven. The most i'm
portant amendment Is one to define pre-
ference to meet the Supreme Court de-
cision in the case of Pirie VS.. The Chicago
Title and Trust Company. Four addi-
tional grounds for refusing to discharge
in bankruptcy also are added: First, OBJ
tanning property on credit on materially
false amendments; second, making a
fraudulent transfer of property; third,
having been granted or denied dis
charge in bankruptcy within six years
and fourth, having refused to obey the
order of the court or refusal to answer
material questions approved by the court
Messrs. Clayton (Ala.) and DeArmond
(Mo) opposed the BILL the former in the
calling the present bankruptcy law a
drastic and oppressive measure. An
evening session was held for the con-
sideration of bills reported from the In
dian Committee.

Washington, June 17.-Throughtout to-
days session of the Senate the Isthmian
canal question was under consideration.
Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Per-
kins, of California; Gallinger, of New
Hampshire; Stewart, of Nevada, and
Morgan, of Alabama. All advocated the
adoption OF the Nicaragua route, except
Mr.. Gallinger, who made forceful argu-
ment in support of the Panama route
and who said his Investigations con-
Vlnced him that the Panama route was
the more healthful of the two.
The arguments of the Senators in sup
port of the Nicaragua route were made
especially on the ground of feasibility
and business wisdom. Mr.. Stewart AM
Mr.. Morgan both contended that the
health conditions in Nicaragua were SUI
perior to those in Panama.
Mr.. Morgan said there had been raised
no false cry about the health condi-
tions in Panama. 1t had been shown by
the experience of ''all mankind that
Ianama was one of the most unheaIthfu1
places on the face of the globe.
remark made by Mr.. Morgan was re-
garded as significant, as possibly fore
shadowing the result of the vote on
Thursday. Referring to the alleged
wrong doing by the Panama Canal Com
pany, he said

peculiar institution, or wish to protect
or perpetuate it. Virginia made State
sovereignty a cardinal article of its po-
litical creed. To us now this position
seems worse than illogical. Yet after
all, it is based on the great fundamental
principle of the consent of the governed" :"
Il hold it to be certain that the year
1865 will recognize the somewhat essen
tial fact. indubitably true, that all the
honest convictions, all the loyalty, all
the patriotic devotion and the self sacri-
flee were not any more than all the
courage on the victors' side.
Lee represented, individualized, all
that was highest and best in the
Southern mind. and the Confederate
cause, the LOYALTY to State, the keen
sense of honor and personal obligation,
the slightly archaic, the almost
patriarchal, love of dependent family
and home.
II look forward with confidence to the
time when the bronze effigy of Robert
E. Lee, mounted on his charger, and
with the insigia of his Confederate rank,
will from its pedestal in the Nations
capitol look across the Potomac at his
old home at Arlington.
when that time comes Lees mont
ment will typify the historical apprecia-
tion of all that goes to make up the
loftiest type of character. military and
civic, exemplfied in an opponent, once
dreaded, but ever respected.
"Above all it will symbolic and COM
memorate that loyal acceptance of the
consequences of defeat and the patient
upbuilding of a people under new condi-
tions by constitutional means, which I
hold to be the greatest educational les =.
