Senator Mcmillan Offers Amendment
to District Bill.

Senator Mcmillan today gave notice in
the Senate of an amendment he will propose
to the District appropriation bill appropria-
tion of $4,000 for grading and macadamz-
ing 14th street from it's present terminus to
the northern limits of the Saul tract. A
provision is carried by this appropriation
that none Of the money shall be expended
until all the land for the extension of the
street shall be dedicated, according to the
highway extension, plans to the District of

If this amendment becomes a law the
owners of the land needed for this extern

dedicated to the District. There is very
strong disinclinatfOn on the part Of many
Of the members of the District committee
Of the Senate toward large expenditures for
street extension. The amendment proposed

ISTHMIAN CANAL REPORT.
Senator Morgan Submits the Nicaragua

The action of the Senate committee on
tnteroceanic canals yesterday afternoon in
ordering favorable report on the Hepburn
bill providing for the construction OF
Canal across Nicaragua and Costa Rica
will have the rest OF throwing the fight
that has been waged in the committee be-

port OF testimony taken by the committee

VII! prepare this report, which will be
ready TO be made in the near future. There
Il a very determined feeling on the part
OF the advocates of the Panama route in
favor of discussing the canal question in
the Senate. and a number OF speeches on
tEat subject will be forthcoming.
Those who advocated the Panama route
express surprise that action was taken at
Do early a day by the committee They
believed that the committee would first
make report on the question Of the title
that could be delivered by the Panama
canal company to its property and believed
that the general subject Of the desdrability
OF the two routes would be discussed in
the committee and that the Recommended
tion of a particular route would not be de-
Cided on for some time.
When they attended the meeting Of the
committee last evening they had no idea
that a motion would be made to report the
Hepburn bill.
Then the motion to report the Hepburn
bill was put and adopted by Z to 4. There
has never been any doubt that this would
be the action Of the committee, and there is
rs little doubt as there can be on a matter
of legislation that the Senate win pass the
Hepburn bin by a large majority II q vote
on II can be secured.
Il Is generally believed that any unusual
Delay in securing action on the bill will be
SO strongly resented by senator's as to de-
feat any effort to kill the bill by that
method. The friends OF the Nicaragua
canal are in exceedingly good spirits today
over the outlook for securing early action
to insure the building OF a canal that has
so long been discussed.

VAGUE CHARGES MADE.
Allegations Against German Ambas.
sador Received No Attention.

The only foundation that careful inquiry
here, both at the State Department and the
German embassy, develops for the pub
lished reports that Mr.. Won Holleben. the
German ambassador, either has been or
will be recalled is found in the fact that a
former employe of the embassy some time
ago preferred some charges against the
ambassador before the State Department.
Generally speaking, these charges were to
the effect that the ambassador had abused
his position IN this country. by using i'm
proper influences and means to create SEN
timent favorable to Germany. and thereby
tampered with the loyalty of American cfti-
zens Of Germanic extraction. The charges
were so vague and of such character as
to receive no attention whatever at the
State Department, but 1t is presumed that
they have been put in circulation in outside
channels.
